A lovely private retreat in a rural setting with friendly neighbours. It is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends both inside and, if the weather permits, outside around the fire pit. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of nature is wonderful but be prepared to take the 20+ mile to Hilo to stock up with provisions at reasonable prices. There is a small supermarket in the nearer town of Pahoa, a 20 min drive, but prices are very high eg $7 for a loaf of organic bread. But this is rural life and not unusual.
