This was such a wonderful place to stay for wife and two teenage sons. It was perfectly located to explore the areas around Hilo and the Volcanoes National Park. We were there for a week and many mornings it was hard to get motivated to leave the guest house—it was so peaceful sitting on the porch, drinking coffee, and watching the rain and the chickens. The nights were a bit loud with chirping bugs, frogs and whatnot so if that will bother you, you should bring earplugs. But it didn't bother us and I actually got the best sleep I've had in literally years there. Gisella was wonderful—bringing us fresh eggs and leaving fresh cut flowers for us. I'm sad I'm not there right now.
