This stay is a 30 minute drive north of Hilo, very remote (rent a Jeep!), and offers a rain forest experience. The only sounds we heard were rain and the frogs that squeak at night (don't worry, she has earplugs if you need them). We came in January when it was very rainy, but the house was cozy and the land beautiful. We took the option to get some fresh eggs and fruit and made breakfast on our own all week.
