We had a wonderful visit to the Big Island on our quest to visit all 59 National Parks - www.travelwithjanice.com. I was glad to have found Gisella's unique, spacious and well appointed cottage, complete with a lovely porch and swimming pool, for our nights on the Hilo side. She made us feel welcome from reservation to check out time. The cottage is in a great location for access to the Park and to Hilo. The grounds are quite special (lush and tropical) too... although, a little loud at night due to the wildlife which just added to the charm.
