We loved the unique kind of place Emily has. It is truly a rainforest getaway. We had so many things planned that I wish we had planned some more time to just be at the house and enjoy the surroundings. Within the first hour of checking in we saw a wild pig and her piglets ! The night time is full of jungle sounds of bugs or frogs maybe birds?? We loved that we were so close to volcanos national park and Hilo is just a 30 minute drive. Not too many things close to the home but you are in a secluded area. The view of the stars is also fantastic if the skies are clear! It was pretty rainy but we did get a beautiful view of the stars a couple times!
