Location feels like a tropical rainforest setting. Great location on the Hilo side of the Island...only about 45 minutes to Volcanoes National Park, about 25 min to Hilo, and about 10 min to Pahoa. Cottage was well equipped with kitchen supplies and appliances, linens, fans, etc. Cute and eclectic decorations. Very quiet neighborhood and lovely lanai to sit and listen to the frogs "sing". If there on a Sunday morning, be sure to go to the Maku'u Farmers Market right down the road. Emily was very accommodating and quick to respond to all messages or questions and provided very detailed information about the property and the check-in/out procedures which was very helpful.
