Our family had a wonderful stay in the new little cottage - whose windows perfectly frame the little waterful and swimming hole just up the stream to the west and from the loft, you see the sunrise over Hilo Bay. Axel and Michele are great hosts and our kids loved their kids and the farm animals. They'll always remember their first swim under a Hawaiin waterful! This is a warm and wonderful stay on the volcano's flanks from which to explore the whole Hilo side of the Big Island.
