Staying at this house was truly a wonderful experience. Karen is incredibly friendly and welcoming. From proactive communication to quick follow through, we felt reassured at every junction from booking to checking out. The home is wondefully comfortable and private. The property is beautiful to look at and explore. It does take about 25 minutes to get to Hilo, with a 4 mile winding road up to the house, so a car is necessary. You wont regret staying here. Karen welcomed us with fresh fruit, wine, and great ideas for activities around the area. We'll always remember our time staying here.
