Mac Nut Cottage was perfect for us. Location is great- just a quick (maybe 10/15 min) drive with traffic to downtown Hilo and about 30 min to the volcano. We really liked being in this farm setting- it was quiet, beautiful, and we felt safe. Marvellee has thought of everything- if we were staying longer and cooking meals the kitchen is well stocked with any apliance one might need. The bathroom has a full size hair dryer and other toiletries you may have forgotten to pack - we forgot sunscreen! The bed is very comfortable and pillows are plush. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone else coming to the area.
