My wife and I absolutely loved our stay with Hugh and Elvie at the Avocado treehouse. Our favorite stay on the big island. You have to understand that the Hilo side is the rain forest side and that it rains, a lot. Every night a heavy rain would come in and throughout the day, it would be sun, then rain, then sun. :-) the weather changes quickly. The space and what they have done is amazing (remember, it's built with love and creativity, not cookie-cutter. Eclectic separate kitchen/ shower/ toilet and we loved it. Heaping fruit basket and eggs/ milk/ and bread for us. My wife cooked every morning and cut up the fruit. This is very hands on and is in no way a resort, it's an experience. Very close to where the lava is flowing into the ocean at the end of 130 (7 miles). The hike in is like 9 miles and this should be a selling point. If you love to hike, camp, rest in seclusion, and don't mind applying yourself to your vacation, this is for you. It was for us. Quirky, cool , and we loved it.
