This is an incredible place with Keith as a great host. If you head to Hilo during rainy season (as we had), definitely rent yourself a 4WD. We snagged a Jeep Wrangler and were able to safely cross 2 creeks that had turned into small "rivers" (but not without checking in with Keith first, who obviously knows the ins and outs better than visitors will). Safety comes first and Keith is great at prioritizing that and communicating with guests.

The home was adorable, well furnished, clean. The backdrop to your bedtime dreams are the following: waterfalls, frogs, and possibly rain. The view from the abode: oceans, a garden, and lush trees. There are horses, chickens, peacocks, etc. It's magical.

It rained just about the whole time we were there (though there were some clear pockets). But our last morning was sunny and bright and we finally met the caravan of animals! Keith took us down to the waterfalls and he even plucked some starfruit off a tree for us. Delicious.

All in all, amazing place. Keith has put a lot of time and sweat and care into the small and large home (which is also up for rental - it's GORGEOUS, great for larger parties). We'll definitely be back!
