Awesome experience!!! The cottage is clean, neat, decent, and built with high quality furniture. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, you will have everything you need! Very nice hosts and friendly pets. Roby & Kayo took great care of us during our stay, and maintained a very clean and comfortable environment. My favorite part is the "nature concert" at night given by birds and insects from the surrounding, feel like sleeping in the jungle. Surprisingly I slept extremely well with the "music". Unique experience if you live in big city and never camped before. It's a little away from the major road, but the reward of such natural environment is great. About 25 min form the volcano, 20 min from Hilo, 10 min from the zoo which is free and worth visiting, and the macadamia Mauna Loa visitor center. Foodland, KTA, Target, and Walmart are all within drivable distance. Walmart has a lot of souvenirs and macadamia nuts with better prices! I'd like to stay at this cottage again. Highly recommend if you are staying on the Hilo side.
