My boyfriend and I came over from Kona for a weekend away. The place was everything we could have hoped for and more! Every detail was immaculate and there were many thoughtful touches and generous extra amenities. Very private and tucked away in a lush rainforest and away from the main house, with the serene sounds of rain and coqui frogs. Also the perfect location between town, volcano, pahoa, waterfalls, botanical gardens, beaches and everything we wanted to do while on the east side. I also liked the addition of asking guests to take the Pono Pledge to respect Mother Nature while visiting our beautiful islands. Laura and Mike were very helpful but not intrusive. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hilo or nearby areas to stay here.
