Barbara & Michael's place is really something special. We arrived at night, and were a bit nervous driving in the dark, but as we pulled into the driveway, we were mesmerized - the entire property was lit up with strings of white lights. Michael messaged us earlier in the day to make sure he was around to greet us on arrival and show us around, which we really appreciated! We only got to stay for a few days, but I'll share a few highlights. The cabin itself is nestled away from the main house, and really goes to showcase the care that Barbara and Michael put into creating their oasis - spacious and beautifully constructed, lights on a remote, such a comfortable bed with high quality sheets, and many more little features to make the stay more comfortable (I won't spoil them all!). We loved the outdoor shower and kichen, and didn't mind that they were separate from our cabin - they still felt very private and everything was well set-up and well-stocked to use. The property itself was gorgeous - the trails carved out were fun to explore, and we enjoyed feeding the fish in the pond. My only suggestion is - bring earplugs if noise bothers you while sleeping! I personally loved having the noise of the frogs lull me to sleep, but I can see how it might not be for everyone. Staying with Barbara and Michael was a highlight of our trip to the Big Island - not only because the space was so special, but also because they were such great people and caring hosts! Not to mention the location was perfect - we went back and forth from Volcano National Park twice in one day and didn't feel the drive was long at all. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here - we hope to be back soon, and for longer next time. Thanks again to you both for having us!
