This was just a special, unique place to stay. It is off the beaten path (nestled in a little rainforest location) but still very conveniently located to access the Hilo area and Volcanoes National Park. The house was fully furnished - complete kitchen, laundry, great shower. It is peaceful (unless one is bothered by the sounds of coqui frogs and other creatures at night) and full of gorgeous plants. We picked up our groceries on the way there and then just settled in.
