The cabin was clean and cute- but impossible to get a decent night’s sleep because the mattress was covered in plastic. Gross and sweaty!

Beautiful home in the middle of the jungle. Listening to the birds singing at night was magical! Two nights was certainly not enough. Super polite and accommodating owners. GPS location is true. Undoubtedly recommend. Strategically locate between Hilo and the Volcanoes park and other big island sightseeing locations! Mahalo and Aloooooha!

Place was just as described and perfect for us. Roads are rough in the subdivision, but manageable.

Yes, we took a wrong turn and got lost like so many others. So look for Mauna Kea Drive and a camouflaged red and yellow sign that says "Aloha Estate". When we arrived in the pouring rain, it was cold and damp. The propane stove (sans shield and vent) was somewhat warming but we didn't feel safe keeping it on. And while there were three remote controls chained to the table, there were no instructions for cable/satellite/DVD player and which remote was for which. Turns out they have Starllink but who knew? Bed was comfortable. Neighbors were running a generator and blasted music in the middle of the night which could be heard over the pouring rain. I wish I could post photos for future visitors so they don't miss the turn. I'd recommend owners post the pics for future visitors.

This is a VRBO property in a more rural area. Unfortunately it was advertised as being in the Volcano area but it was a 15-20 minute drive to the park so not super convenient. Cabin is remote so has a lush garden feel with lots of birds, frogs, roosters & wild pigs. However access requires some patience (slow driving) as the roads are narrow with heavy vegetation, not lit at night & the final 1/2 mile is not paved (bumpy, potholes). A high clearance vehicle would be ideal, but a regular car rental is it OK if you go slow. Comfortable bed, but oddly mattress had a plastic bed cover, which was awkward to get used to. Also, a funny feel to the cabin as there are labels and stickers about the rules plastered everywhere. Modern fridge and stove and a wide assortment of kitchen amenities. This was very much appreciated as dining is limited in the area and we were able to make some great meals for our stay. Awesome bathtub experience with skylights, Beautiful windows, looking out to the tropical setting and birdfeeders. Covered outdoor dining area as well a back porch off the bedroom, which was great for reading and listening to the birds during the rain. Wi-Fi also works surprisingly well given the location given the location. The communication with the owner was disappointing when compared to other VRBO experiences. Given the more remote setting, and the fact they do not live on site, we had a few questions before and during our stay. The host was very brief and transactional.

Great location for all we wanted to do on this trip to the Volcano area. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing our meals. The bed and the reclining chairs were super comfortable after our active days! Fun to be using only solar power and rainwater, and our rainstorms were mostly at night! Would rent this property again in a heartbeat. Be sure to pay attention to owner's directions and not Google maps!

Very nice home, the home is fully solar-powered and uses filtered rainwater throughout, which was really cool. Roads to get there were a little difficult to navigate in a rental car.

It was very beautiful and that kitchen was gorgeous
