This cottage was truly an amazing experience. Very clean space, although it is in a forest, you can tell this property is well looked after. You wake up every morning to pheasants, and they eat straight out of your hand. Very spacious, and the bathroom has a lot of free toiletries. If you’re thinking about booking, noon this place! The pictures do not do it justice!

Fantastic Place

Clean, quiet, serene. Mary was gracious and accommodating, allowing us an earlier than normal check in after a long day.The pheasants were fun, the yard and gardens beautifully kept. A great out of the way location but still close enough to town.

We absolutely loved this amazing property! I cannot say enough about how beautiful the outdoor spaces you get to enjoy during your stay are. The owners have put so much hard work into making this a tropical rainforest oasis and it shows. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The pheasants coming by in the morning for treats the owners left us was the highlight of our mornings! We would love to come back soon and stay longer next time! Our two days here were amazing. Mary was such a joy to correspond with and we appreciate her so much!

Lovely little hideaway with pheasants who visit each morning. Having coffee on the porch was a highlight of the trip along with being lulled to sleep by the jungle noises each night. Make sure to bring cozy clothes because it gets a little chilly at night but we will be sure to return!

Super Duper

Great location if you're not the resort type, which we aren't. Up the hill from Kona but easily accessible with a car, short 10 minute drive away. Frogs, pheasants, and other birds abound on the property. Fast and easy communication with the host. Has all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay again.

Secret hideaway

Beautiful little cottage away from the busyness of the resorts. The property is like being in your own private oasis. You can get to anywhere you want to go from there and when you return you have your own private space. We are hoping we have the opportunity to return one day.

Beautiful scenery and cozy cabin

It was a cute little cabin and had most everything we needed. There’s even beach gear, including an umbrella. The only thing I wished it had was a regular mid size frying pan, but there was one with very low sides for pancakes. Other than that it was a great place to stay and the scenery was beautiful. Also, the host is easy to contact and very helpful.

Pretty Cottage In the Rain Forest

Building is gorgeous inside and out. Everything you need is there, we even left a couple bamboo mats for the next visitors. Sat out on the porch in the evening drinking wine and listening to the frogs.Note that as the proprietor states, it is up in the rain forest, so it will rain and can be cool. That being said, it's a 20 minute drive down to sunny Kailua (where it can be a bit uncomfortably hot!).Owner very responsive. Nice stay
