Donna's 'Rainforest Cottage' is a magical, clean, and well maintained vintage cottage upgraded with solar panels for power.
Surrounded by lush vegetation, exotic bird calls by day, and Coqui frogs singing in the night, it was a perfect getaway for us. It was spacious and had all the amenities we needed to escape big city life, an absolutely needed and amazing vacation for both of us. Separated from the main house we felt completely alone in a jungle paradise!
Donna is an excellent host, and available if needed, she provided excellent directions to get to the cottage. We arrived in our rental compact SUV after dark and admittedly missed a few key turning points, but Donna was available to help us get back on track. My recommendation for anybody planning on staying at the cottage would be to arrive before sunset, it just makes getting there so much easier; after driving it once it was cake to adventure out and back with no problems. Both Hilo and the Volcano Park are about 35 minutes away.
I highly recommend this place as an adventurous and relaxing getaway!
