True Hawaii

Private plantation house with pool. I could stop there. Coffee on the wraparound deck. Private swimming pool and loungers. Romantic bathhouse. Daybed with a view! Away from the crowds and meet authentic Hawaii. There’s no AC but plenty of windows and fans to stay cool enough. This place is the definition of relaxation.

An Absolute Gem!

My wife and I came to HI for 2 weeks. The first 5 days were on Ohau at a high end resort. Once we got that out of our system, we came to the Big Island for eco-tours and adventure. We wanted a natural setting away from the crowds. Puakea Ranch more than delivered. We were a little skeptical about no A/C (we live in S. FL), but the house was always comfortable and at night even a little chilly. If you love nature, you will love this place. We fed the horses, the donkeys, the goats, the chickens, the ducks, the wild peacocks and more all on the property. We were delighted one morning to see a momma wild hog and her adorable 10 piglets grazing in the yard. The house gives you a historic feel with modern comforts. the bath house was fabulous! The view from the porch is fantastic. You'll never enjoy your coffee more. The proximity to Hawi was a nice bonus. It's a quiet little town with nice shops and some good eats (Bamboo is highly recomended for dinner). If you insist on 5 star luxury amenities and if a gecko or two getting into the house bothers you, this may not be the place for you. But if you appreciate a historical house in a beautiful natural setting, Puakea Ranch is a home run! We can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Christie Cash

With a passion for historic preservation and a desire to raise our children in a rural environment, we relocated form Venice Beach, CA to The Big Island and began the restoration or our Historic Puakea Ranch Property on the Kohala cost. We enjoy tending to the gardens, chickens, cows and horses at the ranch that allow our friends, family and vacationing guests to enjoy a truly unforgettable Hawaiian vacation.

Why they chose this property

The Ranch is a very important historic site. Once a thriving Hawaiian settlement, later a plantation homestead and working cattle ranch, the property is steeped in natural beauty and so close to the ocean, Hawi town and the best beaches on the island. The natural beauty of our 100 year old trees, ancient rock walls, surrounded by sweeping ocean views sets this property apart from absolutely everything else. It is truly one of a kind. Restoring this historic property and uncovering the deep history here has been an absolute joy. Being able to share the ranch with others makes it that much more special. This property deserves to be experienced and enjoyed.

What makes this property unique

The ranch is set on a beautiful and very private location, yet just 2 minutes to great local restaurants, art galleries, activities and the best beaches on the island. Our guests enjoy simple pleasures like swimming, relaxing in the hammocks, collecting fresh eggs from our chickens, picking fresh herbs out of our gardens, visiting with our horses and hiking the ranch grounds any time. The ranch is wonderful for families with children as they can roam freely on the without worry. The ranch is a private oasis filled with wonder, beauty and must have luxuries like the most comfortable beds and the finest linens, fully equipped kitchens and spa like bath houses. After all, you are on vacation.
