Everything was just amazing and beautiful!

The backdrop is absolutely stunning. Windows peaking into the surrounding rainforest make for a very cozy afternoon. However, the place needs a little love to make it more user friendly. There is a very overpowering musty smell which was impossible to air out. That may come with the territory of a foggy rainforest, but in combination with the somewhat dated furnishings, it felt like a place that's been a bit neglected. Also, the bed in the spare bedroom is extremely hard and impossible to sleep on without needing a chiro in the morning. All in all, while we loved the surrounds and enjoyed having dinner on the balcony, we were left somewhat disappointed .

It takes a bit of effort to get there but then you are transported to a rainforest hide away where the only sound you hear is the birdsong, tree frogs and sometimes the gentle rain. You are in a lovely green cocoon away from the hustle and bustle. Explore the beauty of the east side! We had one small problem, I mention it not because that was too difficult to deal with, but to show you the owners did everything to make it right. It’s nice to know they care about your experience.

Such a lovely place to stay in volcano, superb location! Very comfortable, the master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. Anything we needed Aurelia was there to help. I would recommend this place to our Ohana and would book again. I would however recommend the family invest in a gas grill for some outdoor cooking on the beautiful lanai. x

Great, restful stay. Exceedingly comfortable and restful. We enjoyed the furnishings and beds/comforters were excellent. Your mother Aurelia was gracious and we had a lively conversation. We’d love to come back.

Love, love, love this property! Fit our needs perfectly! Ask before you buy or rent, this house has just about everything you would need. Ask Aurelia or Joey about needed items. Aurelia had snorkels, towels, chairs, and a cooler. The house was well equipped- coffee, sugar, tea, bath products, laundry!! Thank you!!

This is a fantastic property with a fully secluded feeling. The property is surrounded by forest and is high enough in elevation that it stayed really cool during our stay. We spent several of our mornings and evenings out on the balcony, taking in the ambiance. The surrounding forest is beautiful and serene. The property is close enough to volcano that it's easy to watch the sunrise at the volcano national park. It's still close enough to Hilo that we were able to hit the city on multiple days for activities.

The setting is gorgeous! Great location for volcano viewing
