Rich was very welcoming and accommodating. Was interactive with kids and put out kid stuff we enjoyed like blocks and puzzles and books. He is friendly retired guy who welcomes you in and pops in when you’re around to make good local recommendations and share stories and pictures.
The room was comfortable and the outdoor living was country fun kind of like camping but with electricity and lights. The living area and kitchen are right off the main house and Rich was easily available and around if needed anything or just checking in. We got to pick star fruit and a tangerine which were delicious right from the trees on the property.
Laundry is only $1 a load so that was nice. We didn’t get to try out the pool because it was storming a bit our days but a convenient location to get to the east side Hot spots like volcano, hot springs and Hilo markets.
The pups are around and friendly too. Very quiet and safe feeling.
