Randall’s place is a perfect jumping off spot for exploring the west side of Big Island. We hiked Mauna Kea, day tripped around Puna and chilled in Hilo. The setting is great — very private and pretty. You have to be prepared to cook without a stovetop — but Randall has provided all that is necessary, from a grill to a toaster to a coffeemaker and then some. We enjoyed the chickens in the morning and the grand trees on the property.
