My wife and I stayed at the cabin for a month. It was very clean and well cared for. You’re on a mountain in a rainforest, lots of open windows. It doesn’t get too cold, we never needed a heater. Coqui frogs sing at night and sometimes you can hear neighboring dogs and horses. Also, you can hear pigs rustling right outside the gate. It was a great place to unplug and be with nature.
Roby and Kyo work in the yard throughout the day so there’s some noise from their power tools and the dogs can get loud, but otherwise there’s no one else. It was great to be somewhat isolated.
Roby and Kyo were very sweet and accommodating. They came in sometimes when we were out to pick up the compost / trash.
The dogs are sweet. Leila is very chill and laidback. Ike, being a puppy, can be bothersome at times but he seems to be responding well to his training. I don’t foresee this being an issue long-term. Don’t book if you’re allergic to dogs.
This is a studio cabin with two beds and a full-sized kitchen and bathroom. The porch is lovely for having your morning coffee. It’s located between Volcano National Park and Hilo so if you’re planning on spending time in both areas, this is a good spot. Just keep in mind the road is rough, so rent a truck or something.
We gave this place 5 stars!
