Everything positive the reviews said about this place and Host, Marylove is accurate. She is a wonderful host. We arrived late at night due to a full schedule of activities. The next morning we met Marylove as she was tending her property. Her smile is larger that the great photo she posted. This is an awesome location to see the lava flow, black sands and thermal pool. It is a perfect location to unplug from daily life, get away from everything and the typical Hawaii tourist stuff.
