We stayed at Emily's place for one week. It is a beautiful sanctuary in the woods. The upper floor is magnificent. The lower floor is small, but had a daybed that worked for our two kids (6 and 9). Nice stove and reasonable kitchen. This is a great place for people interested in being off the beaten path and willing to do a good amount of driving to explore the eastern and southern side of the island. It's about 15 minutes to Volcano National Park, 35 minutes to Hilo, and a bit more to new lava flows, Kau, etc. You'll want 4wd both for the dirt road (which isn't that bad) and for some of the sites in the region. It is opposite in almost all ways than somewhere like Waikoloa. We found the noise of the frogs to be soothing at night. There is a rooster that roams the grounds and does what roosters do, so if you are not an early riser you may need earplugs. You can also hear some small highway noise through the trees, but it didn't detract. This would be an ideal place for a couple. Everything was well set up and Emily was a great communicator whenever we ran into minor issues. Highly recommend!
