Allen and Dianne’s place was great!! We loved the quiet, garden-like setting with the birds chirping sweetly every morning. It felt so peaceful to us coming off of the stressful CA rat race! It is away from typical tourist traps, which was great for us. It is definitely off the beaten path, so just be aware of that, but we enjoyed that! From here we could easily get to Volcanoes National Park and we also were able to explore the devastation of the 2018 eruption, which they thoroughly explained. Allen and Dianne answered our text questions quite faithfully and they gave us ideas of what to see on our drive over from the other side of the island and also in Hilo. Their place is clean, the bed is comfortable, and they let us use the washer/dryer when we needed to. It’s perfect for 2 people. Overall, we give it 5 stars and would definitely stay here again.
