Jacklynn's place is very peaceful. It is off the beaten path, and surrounded by nature. It is close enough to Pahoa, so you can grab groceries, etc. FYI, the birds are fairly loud so if that bothers you, bring ear plugs. There is not A/C, but it cools down at night and so this wasn't an issue. Also, there is only a stove and no microwave, although once again, this wasn't an issue for us. Would definitely recommend.
