As a first time solo traveler this location was a blessing to find!! I felt very safe staying here and really appreciated Ruth's hospitality. As soon as I pulled up Buddy was there to greet me, he is very well behaved (he won't jump on you and is not aggressive at all) and overall just a happy friendly dog. Ruth showed me around and made sure I didn't have any questions about anything such as windows, locks, how the keureg works and so on. She provides a lot of the necessities that you may need like shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Overall I enjoyed my trip and am looking forward to my next trip to the big island!!
