You don’t want to miss Pele’s eye as a perfect stay to explore the surrounding showcase of what the South has to offer. For the adventurous, night sky-gazers and wind chasers this locations is incredible. Take in the sweeping views, listen to the songs of the grass and watch the best sunrise over Mauna Loa from the porch or inside the room.
The space is small but comfortable. The green house shower is a special treat allowing you to wash nestled amongst the grapes and cucumber vines. Even from the shower it is possible to take in the beautiful vistas. Ruebon is a spectacular host—naturally welcoming and generous. He is concerned that you arrive comfortably; providing all the information you need to access the property and was great at communicating before the arrival. He is very happy to share his knowledge of the surrounding area and even show you some incredible hikes that you probably would not be able to access without guidance.
Highly recommend staying here. I can’t wait till I return. This is a slice of true Hawaiian paradise!
Other things to know: the property is accessed through grassy trails in cattle fields. I had a Chevy Malibu rental (normal sized car with lower clearance) and had no problem with the road if you drive slow and carefully. AT&T cell service was great at the house. This area is windy. You may want to bring a light jacket and also may hear the wind in the night.
