What a great and unique deal! Secluded without feeling disconnected, privacy without inattention, eco-friendly with all the comforts of nice accommodations -- plus a lot of sweet (literally!) little extras here and there, ample complementary snacks and staple foods to tie-over in a pinch, not to mention delicious samplings of fresh local fruits & snacks to really make "downtime" in this wonderful garden-place a treat to savor, rain or shine. My travel buddy arrived several hours after me, entailing a long drive across the island at night to collect him; when Kaeo realized this, she immediately offered to prepare a plate of food for us so we could come straight back and relax. She was making what would prove a lovely roast chicken with ample sides. She asked about my friend's diet and I mentioned that he is pesco, but surely we'd do fine munching on whatever she was making. However, Kaeo insisted on cooking up a nice little Ahi steak, just for him! The welcome wagon from both Kaeo & Karl was warm indeed, beginning with enthusiastic and detailed arrival guidance a week before our stay, and they tended to our few needs while there seamlessly and with complete discretion -- we never saw either of them again during our stay until Kaeo dropped by the morning of our departure to send us on our way with a warm goodbye. Binders chock full of local interest and maps gave us everything we needed to make the most of our brief visit, and their lush and beautiful property was a constant feast for the senses, both inside and out. A very different kind of stay experience, with a quality that can't be judged in relation the usual lodging options, but a fully and beautifully conceived package all its own. While deeply immersed in the local situation -- running water is pumped from a catchment, power is solar and to be used moderately, and the free wifi provided is a mobile hotspot with a limited data plan -- everything is nicely done (all the lights work, hot water is great, purified drinking water is provided, and the internet is there whenever you need it) -- we wanted for nothing. This is no cabin in the woods but a thoroughly pleasant, modern, modest yet comfortable, fully-appointed abode with everything you need (food and cooking stuff, nice personal care & bathroom products, fun things you might need for day trips, etc), steeped in the slightly wild Puna and the sense of sharing in the good life that Kaeo & Karl have lovingly built and nurtured here. The booking and transaction couldn't have been smoother; all we had to do was leave HI sales tax in the envelope provided when we left.
