Mitch's place is authentic cabin living - in the island. We normally opt for airbnb when we vacation because unlike hotels, the neighbors aren't next to your bedroom or a floor below or above. This cabin is as private as it gets. For those who want something a little closer to the "action", this isn't the right place. The cabin is away from town, in a very quiet neighborhood. An ideal place to back to after a long day and just rest and relax. A few minutes away from Volcano Park and Village and about 20-30 min away from Hilo. Host also leaves very easy and simple instructions throughout the house. Dryer and Washer at the premises is so convenient. Some things to consider when booking: The cabin is on the more cooler side of the island so the place can get pretty cold - not your average hawaii home that absolutely needs air conditioning. In fact the heaters in the room helped a lot at night. The water in the shower also doesn't get as hot as bathroom and kitchen sink and the shower water pressure isn't the best either. Also, the microwave is out in the garage. Just minor things that isn't a big deal - for us anyways.
