Karen's BNB is beautiful! I absolutely loved it there and would return if I ever have the opportunity! Karen is wonderful and she has a lot of knowledge about the island. She knows all the best places to see and is very personable.
Her BNB has so many beautiful trees, plants, and flowers that it feels like you're walking into a rain forest. It is near Naalehu, which is a cute, small town. Every Wednesday they have a farmers market, which is a great place to get locally made gifts for yourself or loved ones.
I cannot think of a better location to stay on the island. It is perfectly located in between Kona and Hilo. It is also close to Black Sands, South Point, etc. Basically, if you are going to visit the Big Island, you should stay with Karen and get the full experience! :)
Thanks Karen for sharing your knowledge and all you did to make it feel like home! I hope to visit again someday! Mahalo!
