Beautiful Home

My family and I had a wonderful week staying at this home. It had many great amenities and was decorated very nicely. We enjoyed ourselves up in the hills and on a clear day you had a perfect view of the mountains from the patio.

Charming A-Frame near Waimea

Our family stayed in this charming a-frame in June. It's a nice property with a great view, well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and garage. This was our third time on the big island, but our first time staying near Waimea, which has such a relaxed vibe. The owner was super communicative and helpful - thanks so much Lise!

Great stay

Consistent with the other reviews, we were very happy with our stay at the horse house This is an excellent location to base your trip around Hawaii.. the climate in the town here is a bit cooler, so there’s no need for ac. It’s very central and you can get to any of the attractions you want to go to easily. We would stay here again if we come back.

Comfortable house in a residential neighborhood convenient to Waimea and many other places on the Big Island. The house was well provisioned and was a great place to hang out between excursions. Two grocery stores and many good restaurants nearby. Would recommend.

Wonderful Stay in Kamuela

We really enjoyed our stay in Kamuela. The home is very easy to find and has all of the comforts of home with a touch of ALOHA. We highly recommend staying here and appreciated the goodies in the fridge and on the kitchen counter!! We would love to stay here again when time permits.
