This is the second time I have stayed with Jean, she is a super-reliable host.
The paradise cottage is just that. Bed is super comfy, Jean got me going with a goodie basket, and had a few tips on where to see evidence of last year’s eruptions (far away). Come to think of it, the shower was great too.
Got some good email done working from the little table on the porch. There’s a small private garden with a koi pond... sublime!
Great base of operations for running out to daily adventures in Hilo and beyond.
If you see this place available, book it!
