Where do I even begin? This place is FANTASTIC. Despite the fact that the place is in the middle of the jungle, it has all the comforts of home. We were a group of 16 young professionals from the Seattle area in town for the Ragnar relay race, and there was enough room in the main house + cottages to accommodate all of us comfortably. We won our race, so we have to give Jacklynn some credit for the good night's sleep leading up to it!

As far as ammenities: The kitchen is modern, the beds are wonderful, and the property as a whole is just fantastic. The cottages are so cute and homey. And to top it all off, the property includes the nicest kitty (Oscar) I've ever met. We were best buddies by the end of the trip, and I was sad to leave him!

If I do have one bit of suggestive feedback: It might be time to invest in upgrading the Internet in the main house. Currently, it's slow and unreliable, so if you're planning to do some work and need a VPN connection, you're going to struggle. Also, it helps if the network is secured, even if it's protected with a weak/simple password, because many work VPN networks won't work over unsecured WiFi.

In closing, there were 2 teams from the Seattle area that made the trip over for the race. One stayed on the Kona side, and we stayed at Jacklynn's place. The group that stayed on the Kona side was bored after a few days. Our group, on the other hand, had so much to do on the Hilo side that there were still plenty of things we wanted to do that we didn't get to. The best part about this place is that most of the good stuff is less than an hour away! I'd definitely stay here again, because I could easily fill an entire week with stuff that we didn't get to on this trip.
