Spent an idyllic month at this retreat deep in the jungle south of Hilo, waking up to birdsong and roosters crowing, and falling asleep to a chorus of frogs and insects. The place was stocked with all the amenities I needed to live a precious little yurtlife, and the space itself is open and airy— it never felt cramped or oppressive, even on days when I stayed indoors waiting out the passing storms. The yard around the property was also a source of joy: full of different fruiting trees (with odd fruits that this mainlander had never seen) and geckos sunning themselves. Watch out for spiders, though!
And keep in mind that you're in the jungle: it's at least a half an hour drive back to the belt road over some pretty rough roads that flood during rainstorms. They really aren't kidding about needing a vehicle with good clearance (I had a Nissan Rogue with AWD and it served me well). Also, watch out for wildlife on the drives in and out! The feral hogs are savvy enough to keep their distance, but some birds will wait until the last moment to dodge as you trundle by.
Jim and Mercy were great hosts, as well. They're right there on the property with you, and Jim was generous with his time, showing me around the property and giving recommendations of local spots to check out. Pro tip: don't bother buying eggs from the supermarket; you can get them fresh and cheap right there at Jeflani~!
