Five or more Bedroom House, Perfect for Families and groups

This gorgeous, spacious house is ideal for family gatherings, reunions, church retreats, or simply a magical Hawaii vacation!

The well-equipped kitchen, featuring modern appliances, a commercial gas range, and two refrigerators, makes it easy for a large family or group vacation.

Imagine yourself spending a morning on your private lanai or enjoying a cocktail with a loved one next to the fabulous waterfall and A’lia stream that flows through the center of the property.

Family reunion

The house was large enough for a large family. The bedrooms with private baths were spacious and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The grounds were well cared for and we all enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Spacious Home

Great house for large families and groups! The kitchen has everything you could ever need to cook a meal for that group. Big porch with table and view for eating that meal. Only possible complaint is it can get a little sticky in the summer with no A/C, but we knew this going in and would still rent again after.

Hilo House

Ample space and very helpful host. However, house is badly in need of some sprucing up and a good cleaning. Mattresses (some badly stained) and pillows to be replaced and real silver ware instead of plastic forks would be nice. Enjoyed our stay but overpriced considering the condition.

Perfect for our family

This 6 bedroom 6 bathroom house was perfect for my brother, my mom , myself and our children and grandchild. Plenty of room to spread out. Took beautiful pictures out on the property and enjoyed preparing dinner in the fully equipped kitchenand playing board games on the deck in the evening. This house has lots of amenities and anything you’re missing can be found in nearby Hilo. We ventured out to Akaka Galls, Rainbow Falls, Volcano National Park, Hapuna Beach, carlsmith beach and Pohoiki hot springs. It was so nice to return each night to this welcoming house. Plenty of appliances for cooking anything your group could want and being able to do laundry was so a plus. Would definitely recommend. Amazing property for traveling families.

Beautiful location for large groups

We had a great time staying at the sugar plantation house. We had 6 adults and 4 kids, including infant twins, and the extra space inside and out was a stress reliever. The kids loved checking out the waterfall and stream nearby, and taking walks down the long driveway. Each bedroom has a bath and the layout, altho a bit chopped up, was perfect for separation of bigs from littles. Highly recommend if you want a secluded spot with room to roam.

Our 50th at the Sugar Plantation

We loved our stay here. One of our party didn't like their room so Mr. Muth moved us to another which was much appreciated. The house was great for us because of our large family. The farm was so beautiful and close to the Hilo sites. We thought we would miss air con, but because of the coastal breezes and multiple fans supplied, we slept well. Would totally recommend this place.

Family Get Away

The house and grounds are beautiful and well equipped. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The kitchen was perfect with a gas range and 2 full size regrigerators. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. There is some maintenance issues that needed to be addressed and areas that needed cleaning. The views advertised were not the actual views due to vegitation growth, the only way to see the ocean was from an upstairs balcony. The waterfall on property was amazing to go to sleep by. Overall was a perfet house for our needs and would reccomend to friends or return ourselves.

Great place

We enjoyed staying at the property previously and would definitely hire the place again. For this visit though, one room was not available, the refrigerator had problems and the communication was challenging. However, once we got there we managed to work through the challenges with the host and ended up having a great stay. Thank you.

Beautiful

The home is in a very quiet area. The surrounding area is very beautiful. The property has much to explore. The home accommodated our family of eleven very nicely. Kurtis Muth was awesome to work with, he was very attentive to our questions and needs. The home is a little outdated but very comfortable for a large group. The location worked out beautifully.

Most Excellent

Our Ohana just had the nicest stay at the Sugar Mill Plantation House. The home is situated in a vast property filled with luscious plants and vegetation. The property is peaceful and secluded yet we were close to several attractions such as Akaka Falls and Richardson Ocean Park. We liked how you could rent the number of rooms you needed for your group. The home itself is lovely and well accommodated for large groups. We enjoyed walking around the property, seeing Mauna Kea in the distance and at night the view of the stars was amazing. Kurtis was excellent to work with. He was courteous, very helpful and very accommodating. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again and will be letting family and friends know what a fantastic place this is. Mahalo Nui Loa for such an awesome place.
