I am a firm believer that the best places to stay aren't always the most convenient or easy to get to. If you work hard to get something it seems like it's just a little bit better. This is exactly the case at Mae's house on the lava flow. Don't worry about the end of the road sign. Keep going, you are about to come up to the best house you can imagine.
If you have angsty teens, they are going to hate it. Tough luck kids, this is incredible.For the angsty teens, there is wifi. For the parents, holy cow, there is so much more. Sitting on the lanai(one of four) enjoying the breeze and just watching the sky. Walk down the lava flow to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and just be there. The nearest beach is about ten minutes down the road (well worth the excursion) a beautiful painted church is just down the road. There is so much to see and really just immerse yourself in during your stay.
Beds were super comfortable, kitchen was amazingly well stocked, bathrooms were great. The house is absolutely perfect. Makes for a very comfortable retreat.
The next time we find ourselves on the big island we will for sure be back (without the angsty teens). Thanks for a wonderful stay Mae!
