The Jungle Hangout is great, Hawaiian-themed fun in a location that is convenient both to Hilo (about 15 miles) if you want some city life, and to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (just about 25 miles west). Liz was a very responsive host, and can provide you a long list of great things to do near the Hangout. Our only issue -- and we note that at least one other reviewer mentioned this as well -- is that there is a fairly strong smell of mildew/mold on the bottom floor. One of our party is allergic to mold, and unfortunately this was a deal breaker for us. But Liz worked with us on a satisfactory resolution ... so, as long as the mold scent doesn't bother you (it's less on the upper floor), then we heartily recommend the Jungle Hangout.
