My family and I stayed here for four nights, with my mom and I sharing the larger house (it's got a loft and a separate bedroom) and my brother and his wife in the independent studio apartment that sits above Joe's workshop space.
We had a great visit. Joe is helpful, responsive, and hospitable. The property has a Puna-style do-it-yourself easy come/easy go kinda vibe. It's fairly jungly and private, though the property is smaller than I'd imagined. When you pull out of the gate, generally there are chickens in the road and cats lounging about. There are fresh chicken eggs. It's clean and neat. I slept like a rock. It's central to all the fun local attractions (check out Uncle Roberts on Wednesday and Saturday, the lava flow, the Ahanalui warm pond, Kahena black sand beach in jogging distance, and ecstatic dance at Kalani on Sunday morning).
