The house is incredibly spacious, with a large dining room table, very large kitchen area and multiple expansive living areas. It was also fantastic falling asleep to the sound of the waterfalls and the river below the house. You definitely need a car to get around, but it is very well located for day trips to the Volcanoes National Park, helicopter flights from Hilo Airport and stargazing from the top of Mauna Kea. Rainbow Falls is a 5 minute drive away. Communication with the host was very straightforward and we were very happy with the level of service. Would recommend this as a great place to stay for large groups and extended families.
