Overnight Stay
The Lanai and Bedroom was a good overnight stay. Clean and exactly what we were looking for. Location was not great. But we knew that when we booked. We did find a great restaurant in Pahoa Village. About a 5 minute drive from the property.

Great stay
We had a wonderful time there and even extended our stay one day in order to catch the latest volcano eruption in the national park. This was the perfect location for exploring the east side of Hawaii island. The beds were comfortable and the lanai was huge.

Clean place
Everything was good except that I didn't realize the see through glass doors for living room(It's already present in pictures but I overlooked). Host immediately fixed the issue we had with sink drain. Very calm and cozy place.

Unique experience
This property is as described. The hosts and her husband were helpful when we checked in making sure we were able to enter (even though we already had been given a code). Melanie was patient with my many questions prior to arrival. The property is kind of off the beat and path, but only about 45 minutes to an hour from Volcano National Park and was a good spot to explore Hilo and Rainbow Falls and Apoka Falls and the Tropical Botanical Gardens. It isn't a fancy place, if that's what you are looking for, this isn't it. It is comfortable and being in the rain forest is unique. The screened porch is a nice place to hang out. The bathroom is tiny, but functional. Some complained about the frogs croaking at night and keeping them up. The frogs did not bother us, but the rooster woke us up. It was just a fun and different experience and a GREAT value for the money. I would recommend this place.
Lots of flair, well thought out property with nice extras (bug spray, cooler for day use etc). This was our ‘home base’ for visiting the east side of the island and it worked well as a place to sleep. Room is in a neighborhood area with a rural feel. Relaxing frogs and birds to keep one company. Great communication from the manager. Would recommend as an affordable place to stay when doing full day trips in the area.
We love staying here! Melanie is an excellent host. There have been several upgrades since the last time we stayed. There is now a small ensuite in the room! It's a private getaway. Perfect! We'll return again
Beautiful room with an open space at the front in a tropical setting.

Great oasis!
This was the perfect place to experience this side of the island. The property sits amidst lush landscape and we got three lovely night sleeps to the chorus of frogs. Melaine was a great communicator. I highly recommend this property for a quieter and more relaxed stay on the island.communicatorrecommend this

Great and cozy
Great property and location, I don't like crowds so this was a perfect place, quiet and beautiful nature. . Enjoyed our time there. The beds were clean and nice, enough blankets if you need extra ones. Very easy to communicate with the host and the instructions were clear and helped to find the place.
