To preface this review, the Zen cabin is about a 35 minute drive from Hilo and fairly off grid, and I had not realized that that the time of booking. HOWVER, the Zen cabin was that absolute perfect place and location for our trip to the Big Island. The location was serene and tranquil. The rainforest showers and coqui frogs were the most calming sounds to fall asleep to (also, the bed is so. comfortable.). The drive to/from town, and all across the southern half of the Island, was beautiful and simple and easy. We brought a couple of breakfast/lunch groceries to the cabin, but Don and Andy had prepared local fruit for us before we arrived. They had also prepared a bottle of wine and chocolates for when we arrived, much needed after a hectic travel day from the Mainland. Don provided local knowledge and many tips/tricks for our travels. We spent our days hiking the lava rock that lined volcanos and cliffs, and spent our nights enjoying eachother's company beside bonfires and electric candles (our new favorite things). We loved every bit of our stay and would love to visit again!
