Karrie and Kevin were very nice and their guest house was an awesome place to use as a home base for my Big Island Adventures.
The house has superb views of the Kona area (15min drive away though) and I felt as if I owed a little place on the island even if it was only temporary. The elevation made the heat of the topics more bearable for a CA coastal kid who spends life in the fog and the vast amounts of plants made me feel like I was in the jungle. I hope to make it back to the Big Island before too much time pass and that the guest house is available when I do.
