What a beautiful place to spend five nights! Our family of three felt at home and at peace here immediately. A lot of love and aloha went into making it special, from the spacious, well-designed cottage (which seemed bigger than expected from the pictures), the delicious fruit (passion fruit!!), the rainforest path and lovely plants growing all around, to the environmental awareness of the owners that made it possible to recycle and be off grid, with solar lighting and warm showers with rainwater. We loved the quietude, the sound of rain pattering on the roof and the coqui frogs in the trees. It was a great base for exploring the Hilo side of the island. We made trips to Volcanoes National Park, Maura Kea and went snorkeling and hiking frequently. The informational booklet in the cottage gave us better directions to a favorite beach (Ha'ena) than our guide book, "Big Island Revealed"! Kudos to Jacklynn and family, and mahalo for sharing this place.
