Beautiful location only about 25 minutes outside of Hilo. Was so great to have the free passes to the nearby botanical gardens and be sure to request the farm fresh eggs. The directions from Hilo were easy and spot on and the house is so cute and very clean. Rachel also sent a list of all the amenities ahead of time, which definitely made our in-town grocery shopping much easier. Dan showed us how to get down to the onsite waterfall (only about a 3-5 minute walk) and it's just beautiful. Would recommend Forest Hale to anyone planning to stay on the East side of the Big Island.
