Kaeo was a spectacular host! You could literally come to the island with nothing, and she'd have everything you need! She was so nice and offering her computer when we needed it. She graciously handmade a small dinner for us, accommodating to our dietary needs. It was delicious. The native fruits too! Yum.
This location of this place was literally in the middle of a rain forest. If you'd love to be close to the Volcano National Park and would like an authentic Hawaiian place to stay, this is perfect. It is a bit small if you have a ton of luggage, but luckily with the covered porch, we were able to set some of it outside. It did get a little humid in the room, so some airflow of a fan you could run for a while would be nice. She does live "off the grid" using solar panels and rain water, which is so fascinating. Keep that in mind with regards to running electricity and water though.
You can really tell that she loves playing hostess. Out of all the places we stayed on the big island, even the Sheraton on Kauai, this was one of my favorite places to stay! Thank you again for everything.
