What a wonderful place to stay this lush and beautiful oasis is. My only complaint is I didn't spend more time there, which of course was the result of my own planning. 10/10 would come back here and stay for longer. Elliot was very communicative, and patient with us when we arrived later than we planned (I underestimated the distances on big island and time it takes to drive them). He had a super easy check-in process and gave us a quick rundown upon our arrival. It was immediately clear he has worked hard to make this accommodation an inviting and unique place to stay, and was kind enough to spend a few minutes to show me the steam vent up the road and talk story for a quick minute the morning we left. In addition to having a wonderful place, I could tell from a few minutes of chatting that he is a warm, kind man and I'm looking forward to making this a regular place to stay on my trips to big island. Hopefully next visit I have more time to spend talking story! If you want to be on the east side of big island, this should definitely be your go to spot if you're passing through.
