Axel's property was a gorgeous stay 15 min. mauka of Hilo - so it was super close to the center of town. I can see how some folks might have had difficulty navigating to the property, but I just typed the GPS coordinates into Maps and it took me directly to the spot! The pictures provided by Axel and Michelle were super helpful as well. We rented a basic car that didn't have 4-wheel drive and still find it easy to get to the property. Axel and Mali were both attentive, accessible and helpful if there was anything we needed.
The property itself is a beautiful piece of land full of lavish trees and greenery! A ton of wild guava around! The cabins were quaint and perfect for 1-2 people. We ended up staying on the top bunk which was a cozy fit! The beds were very comfortable and the cabins were clean. This felt like off the grid as there's no electricity in the cabin so we made sure to bring headlamps on our trip. The cabin has 2 lanterns and you get 2 towels, soap and shampoo. The community center - a communal kitchen/meditiation room - has WiFi and we charged our phones there over night. There are two shared showers/bathrooms. Falling asleep to the waterfalls and coqui frogs was so relaxing.
There's two swimming holes and waterfalls on the property that are a must try! The water was cold, but it was very revitalizing and private!
We had a blast unplugging and retreating into nature at the Cloud Forest cabin and I will definitely be booking another stay here!
