"The property owned by Chad and Jennifer is absolutely beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The property is large and immaculately maintained with gorgeous landscaping and outstanding views. We saw many whales from the lovely garden. Chad was very accommodating and we enjoyed our breakfasts on the lanai. The Banyan Suite was lovely. We would definitely stay again."

"The hosts were wonderful and the ohana (cabin) had a great location, great ocean view, and was an excellent base to explore the northern half of the big island."

"Beautiful location "

"Parking is free, safe. Just 120 yards from intersection at 90 degree turn. It is about 20 minutes drive from the coast, the only drawback."

"Clean room, comfortable stay"

"We could have sat in the rocking chairs on the lanai and watched the changing of the view and the birds the entire time we were in Hawai'i and there would not have been a single wasted minute. Of course, we ran all over the island, always happy to return home to this cozy and comfortable farm 'cottage'. Everything was clean and in good working order -- and since I know you're wondering, the WiFi was excellent -- with a smart TV in the living room and the bedroom, as well as a collection of DVDs. We had daily visits from the farm chickens who occasionally left us a fresh egg. The farm is close to a number of wonderfully scenic places -- like Akaka Falls and the (walking) road down into the valley/beach past the old sugar mill just a few minutes away across the highway. Hilo also has a lot of good restaurants, shops and farmers/craft markets, as well as swimming beaches like Carlsmith Park. The hosts have a very helpful and brief book they put together pointing toward area attractions, in addition to having an excellent full-island guidebook in the cottage."

"The view was amazing at this house. The kitchen was well stocked, beds comfy, host was very responsive and there was lots of space to spread out. We enjoyed the serenity of this space. "

"The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. The facility was older but fully functional. "

"The staff was amazing! Valorie was helpful at every turn. The meals were delicious, although the timing seemed odd, dinner being served only Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday nights. The breakfasts were plentiful and filling, the fate being a variety of quiche, fruits, bread for toast, breakfast meat, granola. The ocean views were simply stunning. And the staff mixed fantastic cocktails. Only bad point was the water pressure in the shower being a little low, otherwise everything was delightful!"
