The cottage is lovely, surrounded by greenery, close to Hilo but also right in the middle of all the peace, beauty and quiet of the east side of the island. The perfect getaway from a busy city life.
Weather often said rain but we never had a day that did not have some periods of sun and clear skies.
The house had everything we needed and the host was nearby, friendly and responsive.
Our favorite part of the house itself is the huge windows in the bedroom. You could lay in and watch the sun or moonrise and all the stars. The nearby waterfall and all the birds were the perfect background to our stay. Birdsong cottage is well named. Highly recommended and already sharing with friends for potential future stays.
