Beautiful cottage tucked away in the middle of a lush tropical forest. Randall is an excellent host. Our only regret was not booking more than two nights. Excellent location. Short drive to Hilo and convenient to all of the amazing places to see on the east side of the Big Island. Several of the most beautiful spots we saw on the entire island were within a five minute drive of the cottage - Do not miss the short hike down to Onomea Bay, the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, the best smoothies on the Big Island at What’s Shakin’, or the scenic drive along Sugar Mill Rd (be sure to safely pull off the road to spend a few minutes enjoying the waterfalls). We can’t wait to return! FYI - Randall goes out of his way to ensure you are comfortable. The temperature in the cottage was always comfortable and very pleasant in the evenings. Randall is also quite the expert on mosquitos and provides everything required to keep them at bay. They were never an issue for us. This is a beautiful spot and so much better than a hotel. Everything you could possibly ever need is provided! The shower is amazing after a long day of exploring!
