We enjoyed visiting the east side of the big island & primarily visited Volcano National Park during our stay (45 minutes away). We didn't spend too much time at our place, but it gave us all the essentials we needed for our stay. Michelle's BnB is best described as a combination of staying with a friend/family member on the island while also having a hybrid experience of camping/staying at a hotel. Cooking and eating in the outside kitchen feels like camping while indoor amenities with AC and your own bathroom offer a great hotel-like experience. The sound does bleed inside the house since the room is connected to the home, so that's a helpful tip to keep in mind. Michelle is also super quick at communicating which was wonderful.
