This place is unique and a great way to get away from even Hilo life. It’s quiet but it can be “loud” with nature: birds, wind,rain, coqui frogs etc which I don’t mind at all. I recommend warm clothes depending on when you come to stay because it can get a bit chilly at night especially if it rains but it beats being sweaty/hot. I’m accustomed to roughing it so if you like glamping this is definitely a good way to start! We love the off the grid concept and I love that Joe’s lifestyle encourages recycling and reducing. Nature really makes it worth while but you can rest assure that you will still be safe and comfortable! Will definitely come back if possible.
