We greatly enjoyed this “out of the way retreat”. Because we stayed for a week the house was a tremendous value, but it’s a value nonetheless. We enjoy vacationing in rural, tucked away homes with lots of natural beauty & charm. Isabel, the house manager, is Johnny on the spot with local recommendations & advice. One of her best recommendations was Uncle Robert’s Wednesday Night Dance Party. Located just up the road, Uncle Robert’s family compound is the heart of this community. Written about in Lonely Planet as well, the Wednesday night gathering is back to hosting up to over 400 people, with house band & local food vendors, it’s well worth the $10/person door charge. The house itself is located about as close to “the end of the road/world” as one could imagine. There are beautiful views to be had on sunny days & it’s not too hard to drive in to Hilo for things to do/see, but I recommend packing in your groceries & enjoying this isolated retreat for what it is: natural beauty.
