Property was beautiful and well maintained. Pictures due no justice to the beautiful cottage. The room was clean and the outdoor shower was so refreshing after long hot days. Downtown Hilo is about 25 minutes from cottage. Richard (host) was very responsive and kind. Overall we enjoyed our stay 10/10.

Beautiful peaceful setting off grid. Merlyn is a fantastic host and so sweet. Her fruit trees are out of this world and we had complete access to partake. It only takes about 25-30 minutes to get to Volcanoes National Park.

Everything was wonderful! We especially loved sitting in the gazebo listening to the rain...the birds...the geckos...and all of the other wildlife sounds. We also enjoyed eating and juicing the citrus fruits! It was absolute paradise!

It is a wonderful, private oasis 25 minites from the Hilo airport. The check-in process was easy and communication with the owners was spot on. I did not take advantage of the kitchen, but it looked like it had everything that would be needed. I will definitely try to stay here on my next visit.

Absolutely the best experience for a truly relaxing stay. The grounds were amazing. Filled with flowers and fruit trees and the cottage itself was a delight to come home to after a day of exploring the Keaau and the city of Hilo. Well appointed with everything needed for a three night stay. Loved taking a shower outdoors! Would definitely recommend.
Awesome property. Very well maintained and a joy to sit under the gazebo and just listen to the birds.

Host profile image
We are peaceful and love nature in general.

Why they chose this property

Aloha... We purchased this property back 2014 and started clearing the land and planting Palm trees and Exotic Tropical Fruits that we love to eat and to explore new fruits, and practice sustainability. Now that the trees are bearing we can share our slice of paradise that we are proud of.

What makes this property unique

Guest can sit on the gazebo and kitchen area and admire the beautiful landscaping and fruits trees and enjoy the beauty of nature and have a sip of coffee and relax in an atmosphere of peace and quiet.
