Wonderful forest escape! (Emphasis on forest! :) it’s perfectly placed for a couple trips to the volcanoes (like <10 minutes to get to the national park), and a trip to Hilo. We actually spent a long day by driving the couple of hours up to Kona for the day and came back. Not too bad, and a beautiful drive! We had 8 college students and 2 trip leaders for a total of 10, and we were mostly all comfortable. Three people had to take the three futons in the living room, one of which is quite small, in order to have everyone have their own “bed”. All in all, we were very comfortable with our stay for the 4 nights we were there!
