The hosts are very kind, organized, and helpful. The off-the-grid property includes a large outdoor kitchen, small outdoor rec area with billiards and darts, and a roomy outdoor bathroom with hot showers. Guests stay in small, cute cabins. There is no AC, but we found the temperature fine for sleeping.
A friendly Saint Bernard keeps watch over the property, as well as a tiny dog and two adorable kittens. None of the animals bother you or enter your cabin. The place is 25-30 minutes from volcanic national park and Hilo, both of which were great to see. Hilo was admittedly rainy, but that means waterfalls and tropical gardens! Hosts had lots of great recs for nearby activities, included an amazing black sand beach and a local spot to swim with sea turtles.
Will definitely stay with them again if we get a chance to visit the big island again!
