This was our home base for a week-long trip to the Hilo area for a wedding. It was a bit out of the way, but we found the location to be charming and a good spot for exploring, especially the south end of the island. It’s close to Volcanoes Nat’l Park. It was very practical & had what we needed. Though it’s rustic, my travel hair dryer & straighteners worked fine on the electricity & there’s a full-length mirror as well as a bathroom mirror; I had no problem getting gussied up for a wedding.
