What a great place to explore from! This side of the Big Island, especially Pahoa, is a hidden gem! Living in the middle of a rainforest, on such lush grounds, was such a treat! Allen and Dianne were so helpful and ready to answer questions, and had thought through many details to make the place comfortable and so that we had everything we needed (that “egg barbecue” and induction burner made the lack of stove a non-issue). Also, it was interesting to explore the lava flow areas of 2018 from there - and Hilo has an amazing variety of beautiful sites, plus the Volcano Nat’l Park is near. We split our trip between here and Kona and are so glad we did!
