I'm a local. We had a sweet stay at this very jungly screen cabin for me & my parents, which was perfect for their first visit. It was very much the iconic Hawaiian Pahoa-style experience I was looking to share with them. We were greeted kindly & respectfully. We found the linens to be clean & fresh (very appreciated in a typically moldy area), and surprisingly low on bugs. The cabin was cute and the bed was comfortable for them both. The pull out futon was surprisingly comfy so I ended up staying on that. A friendly cat made us his center of attention & we gave up on trying to keep him out, and we had fun being surprised one morning by the appearance of Eeyore, a very large domesticated "wild" pig who showed up to say hello. The ancient burners were a throwback, and worked well enough to heat pans but probably need a thorough cleaning. The shower was nice, but tends toward being hot/cold and rarely warm, though this just adds in some ways to a charming typical Hawaiian experience. The bathroom was very clean & functional, with a flush toilet, but very little privacy due to being a screen house. Not a place to room with someone you are not comfortable with. :) Be prepared for coqui frogs, birds, and rain. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs for anywhere on this side of the island. Frogsongs can be intense if you are sensitive. We got a nice little basket of local fruits in the morning and enjoyed a lovely walk where we foraged for some coconuts & some other volunteer fruits, & took pics of lots of flowers. On a quiet night here, you can hear the ocean, although it is a ways away. We had a lovely time, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. Thanks!
