Rhea met us in the driveway, showed us around the cabin, offered some suggestions for local dining, and then loaned us bikes so we could go see the 2018 lava flow in the morning. We felt very welcomed.
The cabin is small but perfectly laid out for 2 people, we were very comfortable there. The only thing it doesn't have is a stovetop for real cooking, so this would be a good choice for people who want to try local restaurants.
Rhea has provided so many considerate touches, like fresh flowers, bathrobes, the loaner bikes, coffee/tea, a hot/cold water dispenser. Also breakfast of various fresh fruit, yogurt and oatmeal, which was fantastic!
There is a powerful and quiet fan which was plenty to keep us cool at this elevation, there is also window AC but we didn't need it. The sounds of frogs and crickets and rain on the roof was very charming, there is also a porch, and Rhea's property has some of the most beautiful tropical plants we saw around Hawaii. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
