Our multi-generational group of five had a lovely stay at Montana and Bruce's home in late September. The property is perfectly situated equidistant to Hilo and the national park, making it easy for us to alternate between exploring in town and going on hikes. KTA and Foodland were close enough to the house that we could conveniently grocery shop when needed.Layout was spacious, offering privacy with my parents staying on one end of the house, while my husband, our five-year-old, and I stayed on the other. During the day, the property was quiet, and although it was hot when we'd return in the late afternoon, the space cooled down with the AC and fans on. At night, you can hear the coqui frogs, but the sound didn't bother us at all. Beds were comfortable and we all slept really well our entire stay. My parents were very excited to see papaya, passion fruit, and starfruit growing right on the property.The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and dinnerware, though a minor note that a few of the nylon cooking utensils could use replacements as the ends looked partly melted. But we appreciated that the fridge and freezer were stocked with some essentials and chilled beverages.Montana was friendly and very responsive to my messages, and my dad mentioned enjoying conversing with Bruce.
