This place is an island of paradise within an island of paradise. It's a beautiful, cozy, cottage among a few other cottages in a clearing in the Puna rainforest. Exactly as it shows in the photo, you look out from many large windows into luxuriant tropical forest. We felt complete privacy at the same time as having people close by if we felt like socializing. Jacklynn clearly loves this place and wants her guests to love it as she does. She and Elijah have paid close attention to the details. The cottage is spotless and has a great bed; there is a notebook with helpful information. Jacklynn told us about great places to go, and when we went snorkeling in the fantastic tidepools she told us about it was with equipment that she loaned us. You can feel her deep, truly spiritual love of Hawai'i and her desire to share her affection for this place; and you can see her fine aesthetics and great management skills in the quality of the lodgings. There is much to do around Puna and Hilo, and one could just hang out right here, but we used this wonderful place (at the amazingly low price) to explore the entire island. Do be aware: this is a rainforest. It's the wet side of Hawai'i Island, and it is wet--lusciously so. The coqui frogs have solidly established themselves at many places throughout the islands, and clearly so here on the east side of the big island. At first hearing, they are shockingly loud; yet after a short while my partner and I both felt lulled to sleep by them. If you want the big luxury, go to Maui or Kona; but if you want the authentic Hawai'i, come to Puna and to Jacklynn's rainforest paradise.
