The place is amazing - has a feel of being in the middle of the rainforest. Woke up every morning to the sound of chirping birds and a very happy rooster (at some distance). Ideally located for those who want to spend their days hiking in Volcano park. Also very close to Hilo and other parks to the East of Big Island. Kristen is a wonderful host and a great baker. She made banana bread and peanut butter cookies for us, which was absolutely sweet of her ! The room, the decor was very tastefully put together. Kudos !
