Jim and Ted are an absolute gem! Jim welcomed us at check in and showed us around the guest suite and the surroundings. All the rooms are very spacious and well furnished. The lava rock bathroom and a small waterfall that starts flowing when it rains are unique to this space. The place has a zen like vibe to it. Our 2 year old loved feeding the koi fish every day and playing around the big backyard. On a clear night you can even watch stars right from the sun room. We felt safe around the neighborhood. Jim was responsive to any concerns we had and addressed them quickly. He also invited us to his farm where our kid loved playing with baby goats and sheep. Hilo, Kalapana and Volcano are all within 30-45mins driving distance. Since we were working from home, wifi was a but choppy at time and is not accessible throughout the house. But that is understandable as
You are meant to relax not work here :).
We would recommend staying here to get a feel of peace and quiet and be around nature.
