My family and I had an absolutely magical stay in Gisella's guest cottage. It's hard to describe how beautiful and tucked away it is. The lush greenery, flowers, and animals all over the property made me feel thousands of miles away from civilization. It felt too good to be true. Gisella was the most kind and gracious host - she left us fresh eggs, fruit, and flowers during our stay. She also had plenty of tips on what to check out during our trip. I would also definitely recommend the cottage for two couples, since there are two equally sized master bedrooms with attached bedrooms. It was perfect for me and my fiance and my parents to stay in one house. If you're looking for a great spot on the east side of the island to explore the volcano and Hilo, look no further!
