Beautiful Guest House

This guest house was all we had hoped it would be from the photos - nice interior decor with a lovely lanai (porch), surrounded by green beauty. Amenities were all there with some nice extra touches, hosts were friendly and helpful. We left refreshed after our two nights and would love to visit again.

Great Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It had everything we needed and was one of the neatest and cutest guest houses I’ve ever stayed in. The garden was beautiful—I especially loved having my morning coffee next to the koi pond. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

Cozy retreat in the country

We had a great stay at this guest house. The location was quiet and relaxing in the country (so much better than staying in town in Hilo), and it was near enough to the Volcano National Park which made for a great drive. The hosts are available if needed. It's a beautiful property with nicely landscaped grounds. The guest house is lovely, well maintained and very clean. It's highly recommended to stay here!

Amazing 2nd stay!

Returned for a second time to this beautiful property for a quick baby moon with my husband. I was just as pleased as I was during my first time here on a girls trip with my mom and sister. The property was clean, well equipped, and serene. It’s off the beaten path but private and relaxing. The hosts truly have thought of it all and we definitely recommend their rental.

A Little Slice of Paradise on the Big Island

We absolutely loved the property - it was a peaceful, tropical retreat. The guest house was super clean and very well provisioned and the grounds were beautifully landscaped. There were pineapples, papayas, plumeria, orchids and so much more. It was so relaxing to sit on the lanai in the evening with a cool drink and listen to the sounds of the tree frogs and the burbling of the koi pond.

Perfect Couples Retreat

We stayed here a few nights during Hilo side of the trip. Really great property that felt secluded but still close to food and grocery options. The property owners were very friendly and helpful with local recommendations for us. We would stay here again.

Exceptional Stay with Lovely Hosts and Gorgeous Grounds

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The guest house is ideally located just minutes from Volcanoes National Park, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The setting is peaceful, beautiful, and immaculately maintained—with gorgeous landscaping that invites you to slow down and take it all in.The house itself was spotless, private, and extremely comfortable. You can really feel how much thought, care, and love went into every detail—from the tasteful decor to the thoughtful little touches that made us feel so welcome. It’s clear the hosts have poured their hearts into this place.Speaking of the hosts, they were incredibly kind and gracious. Their warmth made the experience even more special. Our kids especially loved meeting the sweet little chicks and strolling through the garden—it was one of their favorite parts of the trip!This was one of the most peaceful and well-cared-for places we’ve ever stayed. We wholeheartedly recommend it!
