The tiny house is about 40 minutes by car from Hilo and about 9 miles from the nearest town. This is a VERY rustic, primitive little place. There is no WiFi and no cell coverage, which means you have to do all your day trip planning ahead of time or maybe at a Starbucks in Hilo. No refrigeration (use the provided picnic cooler), outdoor sink and shower, and separate out-house (clean and almost odorless). For cooking, there is a gas grill out back with a handy side burner for a kettle or fry pan. It worked fine. This would be a great "escape" place except for the proximity to the main highway -- pretty much constant traffic sounds. Also, the windows and doors are simple screens, so indoor humidity is the same as outside -- always high. Clothes are not going to dry out unless you hang them in the sun (handy clothesline on the front porch). The grounds are lush with tropical vegetation as is the surrounding area.
