We loved how well stocked the house was and enjoyed the beautiful gardens. We were fortunate to experience a Kilauea eruption and see much of the beautiful island with a convenient location to many great sights.

It really is in a rain forest. We had a great visit. The place is well suited for guests . It is stocked well for all your needs: cooking, snorkeling, relaxing. There is plenty to do and we recommend the quaint stores and markets for local faire. Its surprisingly comfortable for no a/c. The property has coconut, mamme apple, avocado, among others.

We enjoyed our stay in the rainforest cottage. We liked hearing the frogs sing us to sleep at night and appreciated the beautiful yard and privacy from neighbors. The outdoor shower was an extra bonus. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

We were here 3 years ago and it was just as magical as before. The sounds of the frogs are always hard to get used to the first night but when you leave you miss them greatly. We were hoping we would see Mango again. She popped over everytime she smelled the grill last time and we thought she was the neighbors cat. She was there to greet us as we drove in, much to our delight. She knows not to go in the house and likes to follow us around in the garden. The outdoor shower was incredible, especially in the rain! We will be back again one day! Maybe you can plant a shampoo plant?! It’s our favorite! Our kids LOVED picking the fruit. Thank you for another magical stay!

This house was so clean (I’m particularly clean). The house is decorated beautifully. The landscaping is so nice. Feels like you are in the rainforest!! My only complaint is that we couldn’t enjoy the outside patio and porch because of mosquitoes, but that is nature and not the fault of the owners. I loved our stay at the rainforest cottage!! Oh and Mango the friendly cat was so cute!!

Very nice property. Host was very friendly and helpful with local knowledge of food and activities in the area. They also have a binder with a lot of information on things to do. There is a friendly cat that lives on the property and will sit with you if you like. The house was easy to find, just follow the hosts instructions. Be sure to check out the fruit trees in the backyard.

The place is about 20 min away from downtown Hilo. It is in a very tranquil village and yrs a perfect rainforest escape. Mango is so cute. We saw all kinds of plants and animals (birds, chickens and pigs). The house has everything needed,very comfortable. On Sunday we visited the nearby local farmers market which is great! We’d love to book it again. Thank you Matt!

Older home but well kept on the inside. It was a good space for our family. Conveniently near where we needed to be. Host was very responsive. The deck off of the bedroom was cute but some string lights would make it more accessible at night. We loved the outdoor shower but it could also use some string lights when it gets dark. There was no AC but with windows opened and fans on, the house cools down a lot.

Such a wonderful place that was more than accommodating! Beautiful fresh fruit trees on the property too! My wife and I took our 2 younger boys and stayed here for 4 days. It was amazing! The house and the host were very accommodating and they even added some personal touches to your stay! We'll definitely be back soon!
