We planned to stay for two nights, but only stayed one. The east side of the Big Island had a flood warning advisory and the rain made it difficult to travel on the unpaved roads to the cabin. We had to drive through two streams with the Chevy Malibu I rented and lots of off roading to arrive at the cabin. I was extremely worried about water coming into the exhaust and door pannels because the stream crossing was over 1 foot high.. Host said a car would be fine.. read all the reviews, a 4x4 vehicle is needed!! You might be liable if you drive in off road conditions and into water streams when renting a car. Check with your rental car company before going off road to this cabin. . The cabin was simple and nice. The cabin walls were not completely sealed and there is no security. No lock to the doors and mosquitos buzz all day and night. If you are looking for adventure and Offgrid living you will love it. If you come during the rainy season be very careful, you may get stuck in the mud or worse.
