Raymund and Janessa were extremely welcoming and hospitable. The place is a one-of-a-kind experience and brought out the inner child in all of us. It made us appreciate the simpler things in life and brought us closer together. We enjoyed picking different fruits from their trees (my husband was able to husk a coconut), playing with the kids, and swinging on the hammocks. We also liked listening to the birds and other wildlife around us and being surrounded by luscious greenery. The family room/kitchen was fully stocked with a French press & drip coffee machine, different types of tea, freshly-picked fruits, and a wide selection of spices & cookware. The location was great — we were able to take day trips to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, and Kalapana. If you want a more slow-paced, nature-filled & quiet place to stay, we definitely recommend this for you. Raymund and Janessa were very interactive and we loved hanging out with their kids — we felt very at home. This was definitely one of the most memorable parts of our trip as a family. We absolutely loved our time here and would definitely stay again!!
