Great time at Jason’s place. Very clean and very well maintained. Jason is a very gracious host and thinks about each detail for his guests. He is very communicative. Very convenient to go to Volcano National Park from here which is why we chose it. The place is out of the way a bit from stores restaurants etc so a little extra driving of about 25 minutes to get to Hilo. At night it’s pretty dark getting to the house, only a single lane road that goes all the way down. Have to drive at least 20 minutes for restaurants. Jason recommended a Thai place in Pahoa called Ning’s and it was great- highly recommend. Overall for the price can’t beat it, just know you will be driving a little more to get around from here. There is also no air conditioning but that wasn’t an issue for us- we felt comfortable sleeping at night with the open windows and fans in March.
