The place itself is awesome but PLEASE KNOW, this place is TRULY OFF THE GRID. Due to a road closure a few years ago this location is an hour off the beaten path when it should only be a few minutes, if your trip contains activities outside of Pahoa, please understand there will be a long commute through some winding back roads.
With that being said, the Horse Hale was a very unique and surprisingly comfortable stay, it was as described, the area is beautiful, and it's just cool to stay on a lava field! The shower is propane powered which was great, the bed was comfortable (although the sheets were a little damp when we got there, please remember it is open to the elements a little bit because of the half screen), and Samantha was a wonderful host and very communicative, also sent us new sheets shortly after messaging her. If you plan to stay in Pahoa, this is a very cool place to be, but if you are going to other places on the island just be aware of the commute time.
