This was the second time my wife and I stayed here, and it was just as nice as in 2024. While it did rain quite a bit this time (not surprising for this area!) we still made use of the grill and firepit daily. We had a few special requests, like yoga mats and a clothes-drying rack, that Erin and Dane took care of quickly. We found the bathrooms very nice, with large mirrors, plenty of counter space, and the master bath having an interesting simulated lava floor.It's a rural area, and we saw plenty of birds, geckos, coqui frogs, chickens, and a couple mongooses wandering through. The neighborhood roosters will go off in the morning, but that let us not waste any daylight hours. Mosquitoes were not too bad, and we were able to eat outside every day. The WiFi was very good, and I could take care of some work emergencies on a remote desktop without problems.Overall, it was a nice place to spend a couple relaxed weeks. We would definitely come again the next time we're in the area.

We loved renting this “jungle house” for the weekend! It was the perfect location in between Hilo, Mauna Kea, Akaka falls, and Kīlauea. The property was very well labeled and documented so figuring out the operations of the house was a breeze. The host was super responsive and the best ever! The fresh fruit trees, avacado tree, tree frog sounds all added to the lore of this home. Highly highly recommend! We stayed with our kids for a long weekend and caught Kīlauea episode #49! Thanks for having us!!

Cool cottage style jungle location. Good comms from Erin in checkin/checkout process. Amenities in unit as advertised including bbq, AC and w/d. Place can get quite hot during the day, but just open the doors and ceiling fan and hang out on the deck. Experienced some issues post check in and during our stay which Erin addressed as best as possible, given the circumstances.
