Honestly, this beautiful cottage was one of the highlights of our stay. Very quiet, private, peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The owners did a wonderful job of decorating and making the place just homey enough. FOR ALL PICKY GUESTS this is the place for you. They did not skimp on the quality of the linens, bed, amenities , fixtures, etc. felt like luxury in the middle of the rainforest. Location is close enough to all the big attractions ( volcano, botanical gardens, waterfall, etc.) but you will want to enjoy time in the cottage too and wake up to the song birds. No real complaints, just keep some windows cracked otherwise the cottage gets damp... But it's what you expect in a rainforest. check in was easy with key to lock cottage, equipped to cook meals (don't buy too much as fridge is just the right size for a 2-3 day stay, besides you'll want to eat at the awesome Thai restaurant in Pahoa. I could go on, but trust me you won't regret this stay!
