"Overall I'd give 4.5 stars. Great location if you want to be close to the National Park. I received a free upgrade to the king room on the ground floor, but there was a persistent musty smell, similar to a gym locker. The dehumidifier in the room would not work, despite the instructions to juggle the tank until the light turns off. I suspect this is the cause of the smell. Otherwise the accomodations were fine, bed was not very comfortable but worked after a long day hiking. Check in and check...

"Pictures don’t do justice. The hot tub in the jungle, the amazing night sky, and our lovely room made for such a wonderful stay. I hope we have a chance to return. "

"Beautiful view of Hilo Bay. Breathtaking sunrises. Beautiful building, indoor furnishings and exterior. So conveniently located in town, on a hill. Thoughtful amenities: mini-refrigerator stocked with bottled water. Real glasses, mugs and spoon. Privacy. My second time to use this same room in less than 10 years. Suggested improvements: In this particular room, would've liked to know it takes considerable time for the hot water to come on in the shower. A moveable shower head would be nice so...

"Excellent stay!"

"This stay was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. Eric & Chris are exceptional hosts who have thought of EVERYTHING. They were very communicative and accommodated our check-in later than originally planned and met us personally to orient us to the property and make local recommendations based on our trip plans. This property is full of luxurious amenities and thoughtful touches like fresh flower garnishes, heated floors, french pressed coffee in the mornings and many more...

"This is the real Hawaii! The property is located in a relatively remote area about 30 minutes south of Pahoa. Beautiful setting in the middle of a forest not too far from the beach. Isaac Hale Park is within walking distance and although the beach isn’t very safe for swimming there is a pond there that you can swim in. The accommodations are primitive and like camping but Mango Cabin was very spacious and the beds were VERY comfy. It is off-grid but there is electricity to the cabins. The cabins...

"Frankly the building didn’t look that spiffy from the outside, but was very nice inside. Everything we needed. Loved that it was off grid with solar and rainwater, without feeling like we were skimping at all. Would highly recommend! We also felt it was very reasonably priced. "

"This cabin is one of the most special places I have ever stayed in. Barry and Jim, the owners, take immaculate care of it. They stock it with breakfast foods (eggs, milk, coffee, fresh fruits, cereal, oatmeal, bread etc) for quick starts to the day. We loved coming back to the cabin after a long day in the National Park. The fireplace quickly heated up the cabin and the heated blankets made getting out of bed difficult! When the volcanoe started erupting, we were 10 minutes from the...
