The place was wonderful, clean, and very comfortable to stay in! It is definitely a bit "off the grid" – about a 45 minute drive from Hilo and I had no service (Verizon) in Pahoa – but definitely nice to unplug in the beautiful scenery. There's a great local eatery about a 7-10 minute walk down the road with live music on Wednesdays and a farmer's market on the weekends. Definitely a great place to enjoy some local delicacies and tunes.
