A wonderful retreat in the wooded hills outside the Hilo area. The home matches the description, and Donna is a very helpful and responsive host. It's very well kept and while it is off-grid, all of the essential systems work perfectly well. (Plumbing, electric, etc). We enjoyed the solitude and the evening sounds of the forest, and for those curious--you do not need 4WD to navigate the local access unimproved roads. That said, you will appreciate a vehicle with higher clearance. As noted elsewhere, cell signal is not strong so if that's something you need then take that account. There are many beautiful spots to visit under an hour away, and we also recommend either the Hilo or Maku'u Farmers Markets to experience the local food + culture. We had a wonderful week long stay!
