What a lovely, quiet, and friendly stay! My family was there for two nights and wish we had booked for longer. It was a quiet and cool retreat after our days of exploring and swimming. We loved listening to the frogs at night, and really enjoyed being rural for a bit of our trip.

Excellent property with beautiful natural setting

We had a wonderful stay in Hilo. The property was beautiful, clean and very close to Hilo town. It is surrounded by rain forest and the sound of coqui frogs at night was the highlight of our stay. Hope to come back again.

Off the beaten path but close enough to be convenient

We loved that we were in the jungle and fully experienced the beauty of the island. We had all the amenities we needed. The cool tiled window seat that overlooked the serene landscape and moss covered statue was my favorite spot.
