Lulie and her husband John were very welcoming. Their place is stunning. I read the reviews and was prepared for the frogs and the chickens bringing earplugs with me, however I truly enjoyed the sounds and they put me right to sleep :-) the little town they live in is super charming and Lulie let us know that we happen to be there on a first Friday. It was a lovely evening enjoying the music and art of the Big Island. Thank you both so much!
