This place offers good value for your money. You have pretty much everything you might need without paying the cost of a regular hotel, house, or apartment. It feels safe as you are tucked away down a rural one lane road. Only about 12 mins from the Volcano park, and a quick drive to the awesome Mt. View bakery and the amazing coffee place next door. Heading to Hilo for dinner and such is easy too. There are fish in a plastic pond and food to feed them, which delighted my daughter. The challenges for us were that it was quite a bit colder than expected at night (winter, and lots of rain), which made using the outdoor shower when I wanted to use it (at night, since I was out exploring during the day) not fun. There were enough blankets supplied so that once I was in the bed (which was comfortable), I could warm up and sleep OK. Lots of noises to be heard in the tent...rain, frogs, roosters starting at about 4 am...which I mostly really enjoyed, but just to be aware of. I appreciated the little kitchenette (no kitchen sink, though, you just use the single "bathroom" sink for everything) to make coffee and heat up food, and store leftovers in the fridge. Definitely recommended for those on a budget.
