Fantastic
The pictures don’t do it justice: it’s even better than it looks!! Calm, clean, beautiful inside and out. Absolutely everything you need (except your food) is available. Plenty of linens, beach towels, happy little things to make your stay great. LOVED the jungle/animal sounds throughout the day. Extremely relaxing…wonderful when it rains. Outside shower is the best….and even clean (no mold or yucky-ness despite being outside). Connie made herself available though we had no problems and didn’t need her.

Too wonderful for words
Hard to describe how amazing our time was at the Puna rainforest hideway. So charming. Love the nature and animals. The chickens are a riot and sweet feral cat, plus the occasional pig spotting. We had looked forward for years to staying at this cottage and it exceeded all expectations. Sorry we missed seeing Connie. -- Ethan and Rebecca

Heavenly
We miss it already! We cannot say enough good things. We needed this: nature, indoor/outdoor living, getting away from busy lives. We truly slowed down. The outdoor shower under the stars, the fresh fruits in abundance on the property, the farm life feel, everything about it was magical. Mahalo nui loa to you dear Connie and Andrew for sharing this space with us!

Enchanting Rain Forest Hide Away
We were more than pleased with the Rain Forest Hide Away. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a high priced resort our first night on the island. This Rain Forest Hide Away put the high priced resort to shame.

Fabulous rental.
This was our second time at this rental, and we plan to come again. That place is fabulous. In a superb tropical garden, with complete privacy, the house is very pleasant and nicely furnished, with taste. The owners are nice. The neighborhood is quiet. Almost no noise, except the birds, the frogs and the roosters. Highest recommendation. It can rain a lot (this is Hilo!) but this time (6 nights) it did not rain much.
