Buck's property is incredibly beautiful and well cared for. We loved the covered lanai, and my husband made full use working on it during the rainy day of our stay. The room itself was beautiful, clean, and very well appointed. We especially loved the charging block with multiple USB ports set up right next to the bed to aid in getting all of our devices plugged in-- such a small but great touch! The location was quiet, but well positioned for exploring the Kalapana lava flow (incredible!), Pahoa, and the surrounding rainforest and blacksand beach. Buck was extremely friendly and willing to assist at any point of our trip. Also, as other reviewers state, he does make great coffee! Overall, we would highly recommend this for others looking to explore a quieter spot of the Big Island.
