“This guesthouse, a bit north of Hilo, struck me as a serene base from which to explore the area; the property boasts a private waterfall and access to snorkeling gear. The well-equipped kitchen and breakfast vouchers at Mr. Ed's Bakery add definite appeal to the stay. It's a restful spot with thoughtful touches.”
