This AirBnb is exactly as described: artistic and carefully crafted by Mara herself. Most of the exquisite landscaping was also done by Mara; you'll notice the beautiful Areca palms lining the driveway. The granite floor is stunning and easy to keep clean and the hut provides an authentic "rainforest" experience (screen windows to let in the sounds and enormous glass windows showing the surrounding forest) but is still protected against the weather. Both sleeping areas were spacious and clean sheets were provided without us requesting them. The showering water was always hot. A refrigerator kept everything cool for us during our stay - it's definitely possible to buy groceries at the nearby grocery store and cook for yourself during your stay! Chickens and peacocks greeted us every morning and Mara kindly showed us her macaws, which are brilliant and incredibly healthy! The hut is a 20 minute drive from downtown Hilo, and if desired, a laundromat is only 10-15 minutes away. This Airbnb is perfect for a party interested in nature, hiking, and exploring the island for it's natural beauty instead of the expensive touristy resorts in Kona. Mara was an absolutely amazing host - she was responsive and helpful when we had questions. We had a blast at this Airbnb!
