Great cabin, location, and host. Louise’s cabin feels secluded when you are there, but it is very close to the main road and the stores in Pahoa. A grocery store and other markets are a few minutes away, and we enjoyed getting breakfast from Tin Shack Bakery in town. We rented a Jeep; it was helpful to have a vehicle with higher clearance, but not necessary. The cabin is about 50 or so minutes from Volcano National Park; the drive is very easy.
We loved the cabin’s location, interior spaces, resident peacock, outdoor shower, and sounds of the forest at night. Louise accurately describes her home, so read the description carefully. One thing we missed in the description was no A/C. It wasn’t an issue during our stay—there are fans in the bedrooms and we opened windows at night—but something to be aware of. If you do not like birds, do not stay here. We found them all to be very friendly and not an issue, but if you are scared of birds and would not like to see one on your porch, then this is not the place for you.
It is a unique spot that I would highly recommend.
