This place was truly magical. We loved the path leading up to the treehouse, it is lined with tons of beautiful local flowers and the lights at night really take it to the next level. The house itself really feels like part of the rainforest, which is exactly what I was looking for. Even though the whole lower level and upper balcony is open to the elements, everything is sheltered from rain and we didn't have any problems with bugs. The outdoor shower with hot water is really nice after a long hike in volcano national park or a trip to the beach, and the shower/bathroom is also full of toiletries, soap, shampoo, etc. in case you forget any. If you're concerned about the lack of cooking facilities here, there are great restaurants nearby in Volcano and Hilo (hosts provide recommendations) and they provide a large cooler for groceries. I really loved it there, would give 10 stars if I could and I hope to come visit again soon!
