My husband and I spent five nights at the cabin during our first-ever trip to the Big Island in May 2021. The cabin is located on a mountainside among dense foliage and provided us with the unique, genuine experience we were looking for. It was charmingly rustic but also very cozy and secure. The cabin has its own full-size washer and dryer and the kitchen is well-stocked with the appliances and utensils you need to prepare a full meal. It even had a coffee grinder so we could indulge in freshly brewed 100% Kona coffee every morning! The Carson's pets (chickens, dogs, cats, and goats) and the local wildlife were a delight and made our stay all the more memorable. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a fun alternative to a typical tourist resort. It did not rain during our stay, but the air was damp and it did get pretty chilly from dusk to dawn. I'd strongly suggest having a sweater and sweatpants available to throw on as needed.
