Absolute serenity! The place is a true retreat from everything, as it's a good distance from any sort of city lights. If you want to see a million stars at night, this is the place to stay.

The location is about an hour to Volcanoes National Park, and less than 30 minutes to the tidepools and other Pahoa area attractions.

The cottage was well-appointed with all the basic amenities, a hotel-like bathroom, and a comfortable bed. The day bed and tv set-up makes for a great relaxation zone after a long day of exploring. Having to wash dishes in the bathroom sink is a little odd, but we made it work.

While we didn't get to meet Jacklynn, she clearly has the whole Airbnb thing down, and had everything perfectly ready for our arrival.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
