The Ao Lele experience is fully a notch or two above a full 5-star rating. The cabin is impeccably clean, meticulously engineered and crafted, abundantly supplied, surrounded by native trees and vegetation. The only sounds are those of nature. The bookshelf holds treasures you'll want to read far beyond your stay. Mike, the owner/host, is friendly, intelligent, knowledgeable about local hikes and ecological issues and more, and quickly responds to messages. A stay at Ao Lele will enrich your visit to the Big Island more than you'll likely imagine!
