Andrew & Connie's rainforest hidaway is a true gem of a property and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay there for 4 nights. Connie gave us simple directions from Hilo airport (avoiding some dirt roads the GPS wanted to send us down) and she greeted us when we finally arrived. She gave us the full rundown of the place and then left us to enjoy the peace and quiet of the property for the rest of our trip. The place is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with all you need to cook your meals, and the bathroom is packed with lots of items from bug spray to sunscreen. We stayed in October, so the weather was perfect. We didn't miss air conditioning because the cool night air flows through the house freely, making for very comfortable nights. Yes, the frogs at night are loud, but there's a box of ear plugs to sleep with if you need them! We loved all the sounds of the wildlife around the house all day long. The location is a great jumping off point to surrounding areas, 45 minutes from Volcanoes Nat'l Park, 60-90 minutes from other points around Hilo. The neighborhood is safe and friendly, but if you don't like the feeling of isolation in the woods, this isn't the place for you! That's just what my wife and I needed, so it was perfect. Showering outside with the sounds of nature around you is a great experience. If you shower at night, be sure to bring a flashlight... The local snails love the wet shower pad, so they congregate there after the sun goes down. Just pick them up gently and find a nice spot on the grass while you shower. We both had a wonderful time here and would certainly stay here again!
