The property is exactly as it is listed. It is set away from the other structures with the native forest. It is cool enough at night not to need ac. No issues with power or water. The bed was very comfy. I would stay here again.

Easy accessible check in when we needed it after hours. Rustic cabin in a scenic forest with the basics which is what we asked for. Enough cutlery and kitchen amenities to cook your own meals which was great. Perfect for sleeping after a long day in the national park.

Definitely need a car to stay here. Perfect off grid location between Puna and the Volcano National Park.

It's down a long gravel road, which is a pain from perspective of a rental car. When we finally got to gate it was a flimsy sheet metal. Then inside the gate you find a "mechanic" shop of sorts, then five cabins with cars in various states of repair scattered across the property. No tv in our cabin, smelled of mold, no ac. We ended up just booking another VRBO in a safer area that was better taken care of, and was more solidly built. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone but a bachelor with strong lungs who just wants a moldy spot to camp. Loft is indeed only made of 2x4, which isn't quite enough strength in my opinion. Price is the only thing going for this place, but for my wife and I we'd rather have a clean, healthy place to stay on vacation.

The property was very trashed and did not feel safe. We actually booked somewhere else and didnt even stay but for about 30/40 minutes.

I'm all for budget traveling, but basic health and safety should be a priority even in cheap places to stay. The abandoned vehicles just outside the fence was the first sign this place was going to be sketchy. The junk vehicles INSIDE was the second. But nothing could prepare me for the cabin itself. Front step was rotten. Overall construction was shoddy... and showed a complete lack of basic understanding of construction techniques. The front door was hung inside out. The "bathroom" window was installed upside down, so it couldn't be closed. The loft area floor sagged, because they used 2x4's for ceiling joists to span 12'. (2x4s should only span 4') I'm amazed the loft hasn't collapsed. The wiring was sketchy, and the car cigarette lighter jury rigged to a wire going inside an outlet was extra special. A giant brass propeller was hung using a bolt, but nothing to prevent it from coming loose during say, an earthquake, which the area is known for. Just don't be anywhere near that prop if things start shaking. The final straw for me was that the loft reeked of mold. I could deal with the rest, but I'm not going to be breathing that crap in every night. Literally everything about this place was questionable. This "cabin" should be burned to the ground before the sketchy wiring does it for them. I've seen children build better forts than this POS.

I know this is a super budget friendly rental, but it was worse than I ever expected. I’m not sure about all the other people who reviewed this place, but it was very dirty, has black mold in the ceiling panels above the bed and was definitely not built to any building codes. The shower and sink backed up on me twice. The jerry-rigged duct taped car charger/USB plug-in in the bedroom area is also a major wiring hazard! I found myself some place else to stay and checked out of there ASAP.

A perfect, quiet, remote getaway location. You need transportation to see any sites. Has everything a minimalist needs!
