If you love nature and want to stay away from the hustle bustle of Kona side, this is the place to be in. Volcano and Hamacua coast are easy to cover from this side. The house has intricate decorations of Indonesia, surrounded with native tropical plants. AT&T doesn't work there, but why would you need that in your vacation? On the way to Pahoa, you will get your signal back. You can see recent lava flow within 1 mile from the house. Louisa is a great host. She explained the local area and guided us with the directions to the sightseeings. It was a pleasure and we were lucky to get a chance to stay in her house.
