We had a wonderful time staying in this little yurt. the ambient night sounds put you right to sleep. no airplanes,sirens, or cars to be heard, if you're looking for a place off the grid to get some peace and quiet this is your spot. Keep in mind there is a propane stove and a refrigerator but no ,TV, radio microwave, excetera so just bring easy prepared food that you want to eat. Though plenty of blankets were provided Hilo gets very chilly at night so make sure you pack warm clothes accordingly. The hosts were very friendly and so are the children, they've got a few little farm pets as well that are a nice touch. All in all we will be back to Big Island just to stay in this yurt again.
