Jade is an incredibly warm and sincere host. My wife twisted her ankle in the surf the day we went to the Lava Sanctuary and could not use her left leg. Jade immediately shifted into healing mode and postponed her plans to drive with her son into Hilo in order to get us settled in and to treat my wife's injury. Even after leaving she followed up several times to make sure we were doing o.k. and able to enjoy our trip. Her treatment worked and we were able to finish out our trip albeit with some limitations.
Her place is located on a lava flow which makes for a very powerful setting; magical sunrises and a mystical landscapes. You are close to the Red Road which has scenic views and will take you to warm pools, black sand beaches and parks perched atop dramatic cliffs. Close to Pahoa where you can eat out or purchase supplies to prepare your meals back at Jade's.
This is a great place to stay if you are looking for an authentic Aloha Big Island experience.
