If you want a taste of country living, value your privacy, don’t mind traveling a little farther to get to restaurants etc., then this is the place for you. The lush backyard was full of bird life and we spent many hours on the back porch listening to the rain and watching the birds at the birdfeeder. It was a joy to come home every day because it was so peaceful and relaxing. It put us close to Hilo, 45 minutes from volcano national park, close to the waterfalls up north and less than an hour from Moana kea volcano. The beds were comfortable, the living room suited my small family, and the back porch was a huge hit. We were usually gone by 10 AM and back by 7 so the house never felt too warm. Daytime it got warm, but there were plenty of fans to keep us nice and cool when we were there. If busy hotels, noisy neighbors, and street noise are not your thing, head to Suzy’s!
