If AirBnB would offer a 6th star, this place would get it from us. We stayed a week with Jacklynn in the Lavender Cottage, and enjoyed the place very much. It's quiet and beautiful, neat and practical, with a groomed garden surrounded by a wild forest of many species of flowering trees and plants, with birds to sing to us all day, and coqui frogs to lull us to sleep at night. It was so easy to relax ourselves. The only regret: We should have stayed even longer! Centrally located near Pahoa, tide pools, and of course the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (which alone is worth visiting for several days), we can only recommend to all Big Island travellers to choose one of Jacklynn's cottages as basecamp for excursions.
