Patti was a stellar host during our stay in Hilo. My husband, 2 year old daughter, and myself all loved the beautiful, lush greenery around the property, not to mention all the delicious fresh grown fruit! The strawberry guava and star fruit had to be my favorite, but my husband and daughter loved the apple bananas and papaya. Short walk to a lava cliff where you can watch the waves crash (be sure to catch the sunrise here at least once - my husband caught a double rainbow!). Patti has a wealth of knowledge about the whole island and was always more than happy to give us advice on our itinerary, especially since some areas are closed/no longer accessible due to the recent volcano eruption. Her pup, Kai, and cat, Sugar are the sweetest little creatures (but respectful of your space if you’re not animal people. Amazing, welcoming host, beautiful location. We hope to visit again someday!
