We purchased a boat tour of the lava flow near Pahoa and this location was perfect for our sunrise tour as it is only a few minutes away. When I booked this cabin, I was not aware that there was no bathroom within our cabin. Hotels(dot)com suggested it when another facility did not accept pets. We were traveling with our shih-tzu. After reading the reviews, I was more aware of what to expect, and a little apprehensive. It was a non-refundable reservation for one night. I knew my husband would not be excited once we got here. I have camped in the past, and my daughter said it sounded like glamping, and it was! It is a delightful, informal place to stay. As others have noted, it is quite noisy at night with coqui frogs, birds, geckos and other nocturnal critters. I did see a couple of geckos inside the cabin, but hey, this is Hawaii. We have seen geckos in our condo in Honolulu several times. That's not unusual in the tropics. Earplugs were provided to muffle the nocturnal noise, but I chose not to use them because I didn't want to miss our early morning alarm as we had to be at the launch site at 4:30am. Our cabin was kind of like a yurt. It was very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The sheets were clean and a bright, cute print. A food container was provided to safely store any food. The bathroom is a community bathroom. It was close to our cabin and a flashlight was provided for nighttime "commutes". There were also solar lights outside our cabin. It was very clean, had a regular toilet and a shower. Be aware that there are only 3 walls. The view from the "stool" is totally open air to the rainforest. We arrived at night and we couldn't appreciate the scenic view of the property until we returned after sunrise after our lava boat tour. We did not stay long and did not participate in the yoga class or eat the (vegan) meals that were offered for purchase, but we were welcome to do so. We could store any vegetarian foods in the community kitchen and were invited to use it if we wanted to. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. If you require creature comforts, your own bathroom and high tech security, this is probably not for you. If you want an adventure and to feel a part of nature, call this home. My husband wasn't thrilled when we arrived, but he admitted that it was beautiful and convenient for our needs. It is not easy to find at night if you use GPS with an address. It was actually a bit further than our GPS stated and the road is narrow (and scenic during daylight). I would recommend it for adventure-minded people who want a natural experience. Our ages are 61 and 71 and I think we were the oldest people staying here. There were other people who were on the boat tour that also stayed here.
