We wanted a room with a view in Hilo, and this waterfall retreat fit the bill! Cody greeted us when we arrived, and we were wowed by the room as soon as we stepped through the door. It's spacious and beautifully arranged, with wood furniture pieces handmade by the owner. The bathroom was awesome, and we appreciated the A/C unit and window shades. We had no problems with bugs either.
We didn't stay for breakfast, but we've heard others rave about it. Nice to have the option available. We chatted with the hosts for a bit on our second night, and they were very kind. There's a gazebo for appreciating the waterfall view, along with a grill. It was cool to see the tranquil falls transform into an explosive torrent after a crazy thunderstorm. Location-wise, this was close to all of the attractions we wanted to see in the area, but still felt private and secluded.
