Exceptional stay!! Everything was clean, warm and cozy, along with all the comforts of home. Beautifully surrounded by lush greenery, it was so relaxing to sit on the back porch and breathe in the fresh air.
Everything was awesome. Check in and check out was very easy! Simple nothing fancy and very kid friendly! We will be definitely using Jenny again in the future!
Yes, everyone was was there that you could have possibly needed. Easy drive to park and zoo, downtown Hio was easy access.

Thank you so much for such a heartwarming review! I put a lot of heart into making my home comfortable, and knowing that you enjoyed your stay truly means the world to me.
Warmly,

Was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The house itself is nestled between the beautiful greenery, with plenty of fruit trees and vegetation. Inside the house, it feels like a fairy garden. Very well equipped kitchen with a lot of passion fruit for us to enjoy! The host is absolutely kind and gave a lot of suggestions on when to go to the national park. Totally recommend this treasure trove of a place to stay and enjoy! Kids had a blast! Thank you very much for hosting us!

Thank you so much for such a sweet review. You guys are welcome to come back whenever you feel like you need a little break from life. 😀
Jenny was very welcoming and we arrived in time for a brief tour of the home. The amenities met our needs in preparing for meals, the drive to the store is quite a ways away. So make sure you got your list and make your stops before heading into Fern Acres. It’s a beautiful place and an adventurous property. Amazing home! I would’ve never know the lifestyle in this style home, but it’s very beautifully set and modern.There’s lots of activities and games to do family time together. The back porch is perfect for outdoor sitting and watch the sunrise!!

Comfortable and spacious in a quiet and beautiful setting. Great for our group. Excellent communication and response from host. We would love to return.
This was a PHENOMENAL stay!! the space was so clean and large. my friends and i had a blast hanging around the property and exploring. The host was so thoughtful communicative. Would definitely stay here again 11/10
We had a very private get away from the hustle and bustle of Hilo Town. Great VRBO if you like a secluded hideaway. Owner was very nice and accommodating. Only hiccup was opening and closing the front gate.
We came over for a quick one-night trip to see the volcano and celebrate a birthday. It was such a cool property with plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for activities in Hilo and at Volcano. Highly recommend.
The house was clean; beds and pillows were comfortable; host was fabulous - communicated very well, helpful with local information; while there were homes close you could not hear or see them, very "peace"-ful area; out of town Hilo, but not far; Foodland & Safeway is Kroger(midwest); kitchen and frig well stocked; the observation loft was too scary for us to venture up; the grill and fire pit were wonderful; enjoyed the back deck daily. Frogs of all sizes were vocal at night which was nice and visible during the day. The feral cats added a nice home feel to the property. The fans in the rooms were great. Full sized Washer and Dryer worked great. Supplies were very helpful in kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and for water activities. There are family games which was nice to fill in down time. Only suggestion would be to manicure and add rock to the driveway but it was early in the season with spring growth. We cannot say enough great things about this host, Jenny. Very friendly, texts to check on things but leaves you alone to not feel "watched", but gives comfort that she is available when needed. 30 minutes from Volcano National Park and everything in Hilo. 2.5 hours from Kona (scenic route); almost 3 hours from Waimea. There is a "Cafe" on the SR going toward Hilo, right after you turn right onto the main road - very inviting. Farmers markets are not great this time of year because everything is starting to grow. Go to Phoenix Coffee, ABC for souvenirs, & Hapuna Beach.
Our family group of 10 stayed comfortably at this unique tropical home. The host, Jenny, was kind and accomodating which made us feel very welcomed. Location was great to access Volcano National Park as well as being in close proximity to Hilo. The kids loved to climb up to the observation room. We enjoyed our stay and the hopsitality of our host!
This was a beautiful, secluded place to stay right in between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Starting the mornings with coffee on the back porch listening to the birds was a highlight of our trip. Jenny is a very communicative host, and was awesome to work with.
