If you are transitioning from the Mainland to Big Island this is the place to stay. I was fortunate enough to spend two months here while trying to find my new home on the island. Joan is an amazing host who not only runs the farm but also sells at the local farmers market in Volcano (her homemade pies are AMAZING). For those transitioning here it gives you a unique opportunity to explore the windward side of Big Island to find your "forever home", while saving $$$ on a long term rental. If you are a pet owner this is a great place to stay and take advantage of the fenced in yard. I brought my 11 year old Husky with me and he loved it! Thanks again Joan for an amazing stay!
