Driving to Joe's place at dusk, was like traveling back to Land of the Lost. It's in the jungle of Puna down rutted dirt roads with hanging vines and lush vegetation everywhere. If you want the real deal, come here! The house was clean and comfortable with a good working kitchen, cotton sheets, a sweet dog, and fruit trees all around. Joe is a gem with lots of helpful suggestions for local dips and hangouts. Highly recommend it!
