Our family had a wonderful stay. Debbie and Steve were friendly, helpful and responsive when we had any questions or issues. The house is lovely and the grounds are beautiful as well. Our boys enjoyed the farm fresh eggs and picking fruit off the trees surrounding the house.

The Broken Dog Ranch was better than we expected! It was peaceful, quiet, and felt like home. We were able to relax and get a good night rest after each day of exploring. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals. The farm fresh eggs and fruit were a treat and the cows, dogs, and birds were memorable. Our kids loved them all. The owners are great and we wish we could've stayed longer.

Excellent Property

This property has an excellent location! After a busy day of adventures it is a wonderful quiet location. The owners have chickens and fruit trees. There were a dozen eggs waiting for us when we arrived and we picked oranges and limes! The owners were awesome and the property is beautiful!

Beautiful Location Upland of Hilo

My family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location. The Ohana dwelling had everything we needed and was very clean. We appreciated Debbie sharing some of the fresh chicken eggs. We didn't get to enjoy the surroundings too much, thanks to Hurricane Hone. We will definitely look to stay here on our next visit to Hilo.

Clean and spacious Ohana on beautiful ranch

The property served as an ideal home base for our party of five adults. We stayed three nights to explore the east side of the island - all major attractions and sites (VNP, Waipio Valley, Rainbow Falls) were within easy driving distance. The space was clean and spacious and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We loved interacting with the animals on-site, especially the macaw. Overall, a very peaceful and pleasant stay, and we would love to return to the property again when we visit the Big Island!

Cooler, quiet home away from home

Debbie and Steve were very welcoming. Debbie welcomed us as we got to the property. They shared their knowledge of the area and their fruits and fresh eggs. The home is beautiful! It was so relaxing! It’s cooler than in town and quiet. No city noise. We will definitely stay again, if we make it back.

An amazing stay!

This was a fantastic stay and added something special to our vacation. If you’re looking for a typical hotel experience, move on, but if you’re looking for something a little different, this is it. Steve and Debbie are so kind and welcoming and their set up on their ranch is great. It’s cozy and not too far away from stores and beaches. The rental has lots of extras like boogie boards, a few snorkel masks, beach towels, sand toys, etc. Their ranch has fruit trees, beautiful macaws, chickens, and very friendly cows. My kids loved picking tea leaves off the branches and feeding the cows. Steve and Debbie also have great recommendations for places to eat and things to see and do. Great stay!
