We enjoyed our 8 days there. The cabin is located in the beautiful rainforest. The driveway to the cabin is just awesome. Connie lives about 1/3 mile from the cabin. She is accessible most of the time if you need something, but she gives you absolute privacy.
Connie was very responsive and helpful. Hurricane Iselle hit the island during our stay, and she informed us about everything happening and was ready to help.
The cabin is clean and really nice. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove. That was essential because we cooked most of the time. It has decent furniture; not new but good.
One thing we loved was that the cabin had a lot of small things that made us feel at home. There were good tea and local coffee, spare sunscreen, shampoo and many more.
Location has both pros and cons. For pros, you can get to both Kona and Volcano within an hour. Therefore you have a choice where to go depending on the weather and your mood. We went to Kona side for snorkeling and to Volcano for hiking. Also, this part of island is really quiet without many tourists and heavy traffic. We liked the small town of Naalehu nearby and Punalu'u black sand beach. We snorkeled with turtles at Punalu'u. For cons, it is still an hour drive to either volcano or good snorkeling places. Weather is another negative point (see below).
The cabin is located at a spot of rainy weather. We travelled to either Kona side or Volcano most of the days, and it was sunny there. But it was mostly rainy when we got back to our cabin. As a result, it is pretty humid inside. For instance, our towels never got completely dry. Even though it is a minor problem, you should be aware and prepared. But hey, that is a rainforest with all its beauty!
We would recommend to stay here!
