An authentic Hawaiian experience...set amongst a verdant, green lush environment, "away from it all", yet driving distance from Hilo, Volcano, etc. This is a special experience & for an amazingly reasonable price. Gary and Patty were excellent hosts, generous about allowing me early check in, communication was prompt & they take obvious pride in providing a good value. They stocked the space with a hot plate, microwave, mini fridge, water cooler, some drinks & snacks, tourist info, etc. The coqui frogs chirping at night were loud, so you might need the ear plugs that are provided, but I loved the sound of nature & slept like a baby!
