A nice stay in the rainforest if you don't mind a bit of adventure. The road is long, unpaved, and tends to flood so an SUV is highly recommend. We made it to the cottage in a Mustang but it wasn't easy. The cottage itself is just behind a house so not really private, but a cool stay with beautiful flowers, animals, and ambient forest noises at night. It's got a real at-home feel and beats a resort in my opinion. Donna left bird seed in the feeder which attracted many varieties of birds in the morning, and nice candles to give a real romantic vibe at night if you didn't want to use the solar-powered lights. Attractions aren't too far a drive; everything on the island requires some road time to see but I'd rather stay in the rainforest than downtown Hilo any day. Many Mahalos Donna, don't ever change!
