Antoine’s place is perfect for adventurers. It’s off grid so keep that in mind and there is a little bit of a walk from where you’ll park your car to the cabin. That said, it’s worth every bit of effort to get there. The cabin we stayed in had a fabulous view of a fern-lined cave and a swimming hole. Our evening soundtrack was the singing of coqui frogs and the gentle sound of rushing water. The following morning we enjoyed swimming and jumping off the rocks into the swimming hole. The river is clean and completely private! On the subject of privacy, Antoine is on site if you need him but he also respected our space. He accommodated our use of the kitchen and gave us a tour upon arrival. Check in was easy and communication was always direct and timely. This Air BnB is an experience unto itself but it’s also conveniently located right off the highway and close to Akaka Falls and Hilo. You’ll feel a world away, though, and we can’t recommend it enough if you enjoy off the beaten path places.
