This was our second stay and it was just as perfect as the first one almost 5 years ago! It’s so beautiful and teeming with life, completely rejuvenating being in nature. We loved the roaming chickens and occasional mongoose, and the best was having a lullaby of coqui frogs and geckos to sleep to. The space has everything you’d need with a small kitchen and gas burners, and the outdoor shower was so relaxing (and had hot water!). You’ve also got the island naturals grocer and awesome food up in Pahoa like 5 mins away, and the cottage is a perfect landing spot for any hiking and exploration around the island. Janelle was very kind and she left us the most delicious fruit basket :) Cannot recommend enough and can’t wait to return!!
