The Horse Hale was great! I loved the peaceful location, and I was able to book last minute, lucky. Beautiful view of sunset and sunrise, and great to stay at a local place rather than some kind of big hotel (not that there are big hotels in Pahoa!). Being right on the lava flow from a few years ago was very dramatic to see, and meeting all the animals on my morning walk was very cute. Loved the hammock to read and watch the sunset.
