My home is on Big Island Hawaii, 3 beautiful acres in Orchidland, a sort of botanical garden retreat. Love my liife, nurturing plants around me, visiting seaside, hiking, outdoor markets. I have solar electricity and water catchment. I can offer my guest cabin with small kitchen, double bed, outdoor shower, composting outhouse, and with view of tropical landscaping. It is 20 minutes from Hilo in a rural setting near Pahoa.
