A beautiful,beautiful place! We had everything we could possibly need or want. The house was spotless and our hosts were so gracious and helpful. A wonderful place to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary. Since we arrived at lunch time, Morris even fixed us a great lunch and visited with us, telling us special places to see. We also got a tour of his land and the various plants and fruit trees. It was such a nice place to be, we stayed "home" 2 nights and fixed our own meals (steaks on the grill for one) rather than go sightseeing. Fantastic value. Don't worry about being a short distance out of Hilo, everything is easy to get to and the country setting makes it more than worthwhile.
