Rachaelle's place is remote, relaxed, and very rejuvenating. The 180 degree views of lava flow and ocean, the sounds of the living jungle at night, the comfy day bed and awesome furnishings, the quiet Puna area and gorgeous Red Road will all transport you far away from wherever you came.

This is a great place to stay if you want to truly get away, and it was perfect for us. It's not terribly conveniently located to any of the major attractions on the island (about 40 mins from Hilo and 1 hr from the volcano), but that comes with the benefits of being a very private and quiet escape.

This is a private entry upper floor unit; the downstairs and cottage in back are rented separately. We ran into both neighbors briefly and appreciated their warm welcome, otherwise felt we had the place completely to ourselves.
