Our stay here was peaceful and relaxing. Everything was very clean, the wifi signal was great, and the large deck had a gorgeous view of the grounds and ocean. Although we arrived after dark, our host was very responsive and set us up for self check in. We enjoyed making the complimentary fresh ground coffee each morning. There was also tea, creamer and sweetener. Even though there was no microwave, the mini fridge was all we needed to store some snacks. The deck was large, and was perfect to sit out and relax, rain or shine. Listening to the birds, frogs, and nature around us while watching the sun rise in a beautiful setting was so relaxing. There was even a hammock that could be hung from two hooks on the porch that was really cool! The location is a short distance North of Hilo, and felt it was a good place to stay to see the Akaka falls area, and a reasonable distance to hit up most of the eastern area of the island and volcanos area as well. This is such a lovely place, and we would love to stay again if we get the chance.
