We really enjoyed our two nights at Mara's cabin, it's a beautiful place. we didn't mind the 5am wakeup from the roosters as we had plans to hike Mauna Loa and the sounds of the frogs at night were no match for our exhaustion (in fact we quite enjoyed them). As others have said, the place might not be for everyone and our stay was reminiscent of a stay in a backcountry hut.
