費恩森林度假酒店(Fern Forest Getaway)

This property needs a thorough cleaning. Dirt and dust in the corners, dead bugs on the windowsills, the dining table had crumbs and rings on it from previous renters, the furniture was covered in fleece throws that had multiple cigarette burns in them, and the kitchen garbage was sitting bagged on the floor and SMELLED rotten. The refrigerator had a partial package of raw meat in it, and needed to be cleaned. There were black stains on the bathroom ceiling, leakage from the upstairs bath? Or mold? The host said the outside door remains unlocked in case of late arrivals; not very safe if all you can lock is a hollow-core bedroom door.

The property was very close the Volcano national park. However you need Google map to find this place because it is in the middle of forest. You need to drive on a 1 lane gravel road. If you have Google map not to difficult to find it. The house was a big, nice house. However, the kitchen and the common area requires good cleaning. There wasn't any cream or even milk powder for a cup of coffee. When we arrived, the host was very nice and explained all about the house and the neighborhood. Only saw him once after that never saw him. The bed and the bathroom was fine. The bathroom could use more cleaning. Overall it was an ok stay.

This place was great. I prefer out of town locations. Peaceful. The frogs singing at night. The troop of Geckos that visit you on the porch. Set out some juice for them and watch them scamper about. Bed was comfy. Best sleep I've had in a while. Mr. Leon is a fantastic host. But I feel like I made a friend instead. All the more reason to visit him again. Water was hot for the shower. Also it's nice to have a laundry facility in case you need it. Extra blankets if you get cold. This is not a hotel. This is a home. You should not expect anything different. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Which is what one should do when you stay here. I learned a little Russian. I love languages and culture. Mr Leon was a character, and his bnb was character in spades. I will be back. Already planning my return to Hilo. And I will stay here again.

The house is a bit outdated and a little run down, but overall, the accommodations was a decent night stay and relatively close to Volcano National Park. For what we paid for, we were not expecting a Hilton or a HoJos and nor should you. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean, we also had use of the entire living room and kitchen—and pleasantly surprised to a light breakfast (coffee, bagels, peanut butter, jam, etc...), which we made in the morning, and ate on the lanai overlooking the lush property, filled with native vegetation and fruit trees. Leon, our host, gave us great tips on what to do at night, and it was totally worth it. Thanks! Note, the location is in a mostly unpaved road off the main highway, we rented an SUV so it was no problem.

The property was a mess. The outside needed some serious maintenance. The inside smelled so bad of mold and mildew and was dirty enough for us to not to even stay there. The photos shown are very old photos, it is no where near as nice as it looks in the photos.

Beautiful house from the outside. When you approche and you enter is dirty, smelling, old … This house as a big potential, however the cleanness is an option that not available. The bathroom is horrible extremely dirty the floor of the shower was black of dirt and the floor full of dust. The toilet desgusting. Tooth past on the ting. The owner is not looking so friendly. The deco is so old fashioned. The worst place ever.

We enjoyed our stay. They owner is very helpful and knowledgeable of things to do an places to see. The property could be a bit cleaner, but we were satisfied with our stay for the price and would definitely stay here again. It is very close to Volcano National Park and about a 30 minute drive to Hilo.

I was warmly greeted and made to feel like home. Leon was very kind and resourceful. He gave me a lot of good travel tips about the island and it’s beaches. I’d definitely stay here again!

This is a large house in the forest just below the volcano of the Big Island. Only two bedrooms but several large sectional couches for family member to sleep on. No Cable but many streaming options. Needs a sign on the door with instructions and greeting.
