Excellent space off the beaten path. Abbie is really kind and thoughtful. It’s about a 45 min drive from Hilo. I was able to drive to Kona, Volcano, Green Sand Beach, Mountain Coffee company, etc. I suggest bringing in some food from town and packing some lunches and breakfasts. There is a little place with cold brew and drip coffee down the road but otherwise you’re driving into town for anything else.
There are a lot of beautiful frog and cricket noises at night. Be careful of wandering dogs and cats when driving in the neighborhood in the dark!
