Overall beautiful property. However there was no available closet space and the rooms were rather small with our luggage in the way. We do notice juvenile cockroaches within the bathroom and kitchen spaces.

If you like to be away from the crowds and city lights, this is the place to be! We were surrounded by lush rainforest and serenaded by frogs at night. The unit was clean with plenty of drinking water supplied. The screened in lanai was great and laundry facilities a plus. Linda was a great host and responsive.

We loved this secret rainforest gem. We were only on Hawaii for two days but it was the perfect spot for us for the quick trip. Extremely convenient to get to and from the airport as well as to Volcanoes National Park. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced on vacation. The frogs are EXTREMELY loud but for me it was the best “white noise” sleep sound. That and the gentle rain we had overnight had me sleeping so soundly. The amenities were nice and the host was very responsive to a couple questions we had. If we ever go back to Hawaii I would definitely stay there again.

The property is beautiful, lush rainforest surrounded by tropical plants in a private setting just as described. Very clean and perfect for relaxation. Close enough to town but remote enough to enjoy the rain and frogs. The beds and shower are the best! We had a great time and would highly recommend this cabin. It was also nice to be able to do laundry onsite as we packed lightly.

Nicely appointed with all the items we needed for our stay. Enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the evening, listening to the various critters in the foliage nearby. The only thing I missed is the same thing I miss at every rental unit I have stayed at - a way to sharpen the cooking knives!

Great location close to Volcano Nat’l Park and Hilo with a fabulous porch and very comfortable beds. Really appreciate that the drinking water was provided. Loved the rooster and enjoyed the fruits growing on the property including stardust, guava and oranges. We have family that will be returning over the next year and we’ve recommended Linda’s place.
Spent all of our time on this lovely porch.
Picked — and ate — ripe starfruit right on the property.
This cooler came in handy for our daily trips to Volcano National Park (20 minutes west) and the lovely town of Hilo (30 minutes east).
Outdoor shower handy for rinsing off from black sand beaches.

This was a lovely home, tucked away in a very peaceful garden. The screened in porch with the sounds of nature made it very difficult to want to leave the house for activities. The house was very clean and comfortable. One bed was firm, the other more soft, which was nice to have options! Truly a magical space to stay!

This place was heaven. Coming from a big city area, this place was quiet, peaceful, tranquil, and only about 20-25 minutes from most everything we wanted to see and do on the island. The host was helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We absolutely loved our stay here. I'm hoping to go back soon!!!

Setting was in a beautiful private landscape that felt like a miniature botanical garden. Just far enough away from town, not to be crowded, but close enough to Hilo to quickly visit. Host was easy to communicate with.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful lodge in Hilo. Being tucked away in the secluded rainforest was such a gift — surrounded by the most gorgeous foliage, peaceful greenery, and the nighttime sounds of frogs and other little creatures that made it feel magical.The location couldn’t have been better. We were so close to Volcano National Park that when the volcano started erupting, we were able to hop in the car and get there quickly. Such an unforgettable experience!The home itself was quiet, spacious, and perfect for our family of five. We especially loved relaxing out on the screened lanai — enjoying the fresh air and the view without the bugs. It quickly became our favorite spot to unwind.We truly enjoyed everything about our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Hilo area!
