Mary Jo’s house was great. Filled with beautiful wood work throughout. The location was ideal - centrally located for exploring, cooler because it was up mountain, and in the middle of a fun area where local people live and work. If you’re looking to visit the west side of the Big Island and don’t want to be in the middle of the fray, this place is for you. Mary Jo, her husband, their dog and (visiting) cat all made us feel welcome.
