Joe's place is just as described in the rather detailed listing: a rustic, hand-crafted cottage that is entirely in accord with its jungle surroundings. Although in a neighborhood with nearby homes & Joe's adjacent home, the cottage feels quite private and secluded. On arrival, I found that Joe had left a couple of fresh papayas on the kitchen table; the kitchen was well equipped with all necessary utensils for cooking: gas stove, coffee maker/grinder/& beans & a small jar of honey from Joe's bees. In the morning, I found 3 eggs had been left on the porch! The cottage is well-furnished in all respects. I made good use of the beautiful desk. Clearly this cottage has been a labor of love as evidenced by all the custom touches. Joe clearly understands the value of a well-placed hook for hanging clothes, bags, etc. Both day and night, one is enveloped by nature. Joe is very laid-back host, available when needed but never intrusive. He has thoughtfully provided his guests with a guide to helpful information about staying in the cottage and of local sights. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Puna lifestyle experience.
