This place is a hidden gem. Amazingly cute little cottage nestled on a wonderful farm. If it weren't for all the activities we wanted to do in the area we could have sat in those rocking chairs, or on that day bed, all day staring at the clouds, watching the sunsets and sunrises. It had everything we needed for an incredible stay.

The property is 35 minutes or so from Hilo airport, and our GPS had no trouble finding it. The only confusion was when it said we had arrived, we still had to drive forward to reach the driveway to see that we had, in fact, arrived. The winding path is a beautiful adventure bringing you to the house. Two main bedrooms with en suites and the laundry are on the bottom floor. To reach the second story, you must go up the outside stairs, but they are completely covered, so no worries if it’s raining. The wraparound balcony does not disappoint with the ocean and mountain views. There is a stream nearby with its soothing sound, and cows and horses (a couple donkeys if you’re lucky) can be seen on the hills. The living area, kitchen, and another bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. Everything is decorated nicely with an Asian influence. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the refrigerator is full sized to allow for plenty groceries (or leftovers!). There is a full range and dishwasher also. A nice big TV and DVD player can be enjoyed from the reclining sofa. Any questions or concerns we had were answered quickly by the host. Our check-in and checkout-out instructions were clear and detailed. The property is not far from the main road to go anywhere, and close to ‘Akaka Falls park as well as a little town with shops and restaurants. (Be sure to check out the toffee shop, too. Five generations making the same recipe!)All in all, a nice place to call home on our vacation.
