Wonderful stay and a beautiful location. Close to Hilo and close to Pahoa and Volcano national forest. Must stay. Be mindful that most home in Hawaii don’t have AC and rely on things such as a fan so sometimes I can get warm when sleeping but around 11PM to midnight I cools off considerably. Rachel is awesome and has a wonderful family and dogs if you decide to engage with your host at all. Very friendly and really responsive to messages or issues.
