Fantastic place. One of the best sounding places I have ever slept.
Beautiful, off grid, comfortable cabin with beautiful rainforest surroundings and amazing night sounds. We loved everything about it and it was just what we wanted. Pahoa is a cool community . Why would anyone ever stay in a hotel when there are places like these?

Lovely cottage but not accessible
Staying on the papaya farm was a rustic refreshing change. Sleeping to the sounds of tree frogs and birds was lovely. Our hosts were great. The only issue we had was this property is listed as handicap accessible. I hope the host removes this before someone who is really handicapped rents it. There were rocky steep steps going into the cabin (the host gave us a sheet of plywood to lay down, but it was too steep for the wheelchair). There was also gravel going from the bedroom to the kitchen (wheelchair sank), as well as a couple steps. Luckily, I am able to get out of my chair and crawl, but many handicap people do not have that option.
