Unique house that’s tucked back in the trees. Well maintained with comfortable beds and plenty of space. Only downside is no air conditioning. Plenty of fans that did keep us comfortable for our stay. Would recommend

This place is gold. We stayed here before with my Grandma and this time I brought my very high maintenance parents. Both said they would stay again in a heartbeat! Such a generous host with all the amenities you can think of in the kitchen as well. 10/10The crow’s nest is so cool for the kiddos and all around the house is just a wonderful set up.

My family and I were looking for a place to spend the night between Hilo and Volcano National Park. We loved the unique setting this home offered. There was plenty of space for everyone and Jenny was very easy to communicate with. We loved the viewing loft with a telescope but unfortunately it was a very rainy stay and we weren't able to star-gaze.If you're looking for a home feel off the main tourist areas we highly recommend reaching out to Jenny.

On your day of check-in, be prepared with patience to drive and find this truly secluded house , especially if you have a late check-in. Once you get familiar with the roads and surroundings , you will start feeling good about the place.
