My Wife and I spent our Honeymoon here after coming from the Kona side @ Four seasons resort. We were greeted by Bob, Lily and a bottle of Champagne. The owners and the dog are great people to be around and a pleasure to deal with. This place is really quiet, peaceful and gives you a genuine feel of what it is like to live on the Big Island Hilo side. It is about a 20 min drive to Hilo; their major city center and to get Grub. It is a great location to see what the east side of the big island has to offer. Apart from that we were out all day and used this location as our base.
