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!

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.

Secluded and Conveniently Located

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer's property as it was a secluded retreat that was still conveniently located near Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. We had two adults and two kids and the studio with kitchenette worked well for our purposes. It is also noted the kitchenette also was incredibly well stocked with every condiment/spice you could think of. The hot plate and toaster oven were both very helpful for basic meals at home. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed looking at the koi and chickens. No A/C but the fans and evening breezes made it comfortable for us. The hosts were very communicative and even gave us a heads up that an eruption was occurring. Probably theoat clear check in and check out instructions of any short term rental I've been too as well. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Aloha style and spirit

Aloha,This is a wonderful property to experiance. Jeff and Jennifer thought of everything we would need to complete our stay. The guest house was charming and very clean. The property was very nicely landscaped too. we enjoyed sitting on the lanai and listening to the birds and frogs.The only thing that I should mention is that there is a very large chicken coop near the guest house. The roosters woke my husband up at 4:00 a.m. So, brings some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, I loved this place and would stay there again!Mahalo,April and Ray B.

Hilo side stay

Great little place tucked away from the busier Hilo area. Probably a bit better suited for 4 than 5 given the overall size and having to use an air mattress. Owners were nice and let my kids feed the koi, which was exciting for them.

Best Stay Ever

This guest house was the most wonderful and beautiful place I have ever stayed. The peaceful koi pond and fountain were so calming, and the grounds with the beautiful gardens and fruit trees were such a gorgeous backdrop. The pictures don’t do the estate justice. It’s beyond words. Jeff and Jennifer were incredibly kind and thoughtful and very helpful with suggestions of how to make the most of my time on the Big Island. The bed is very comfortable, and the house was so tastefully furnished and decorated. It has everything you could need and more. There is even a ukulele, which I played a few times! When I wasn’t out exploring, I spent most of my time sitting on the porch taking it all in. Truly did not want to leave. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to return!!
