I don't know that I have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but this was a fun place to stay. The waterfall was an amazing, secluded bonus. The drive up the hill to the house is a little bit of a hike, 10 to 15 minutes, but not a deal breaker. The footsteps are loud as others mentioned but it was never during sleeping hours so all was well. My daughter enjoyed playing with the boys and asked when she can go back to visit them! Hilo was great we did Volcano National Park from this location, visited the local beaches, hiked Akaka Falls, and enjoyed the restaurants in town. Recommend!
