Just book it, Lynda was a beautiful person, with a stunning cottage, at a very peaceful location. It is the true Hawaii in my opinion. Shop for groceries in Keeau, Visit downtown Hilo, travel South of Hilo to the four mile Scenic road, and visit the Bioreserve Botanical garden. Go to 137 and travel to Lauhala pull off spot. Meet Bruce the wood carver, John the fisherman from Hilo, and enjoy the awesome waves pounding the huge Lava rocks. Immerse yourself in nature, and the Hawaiian culture, It's free. Just book the cottage, best week we have spent on this awesome island.
