"We had a fantastic time here. We were a little concerned coming here in mid July without any AC but it turned out to be fine with the windows open and using the provided fans. Honestly, it made us feel more connected with the environment not being bottled up with canned air so it really suited the experience. The kitchen was perfect and the living space also very comfortable with private bedrooms to retire to. Absolutely stunning view and location. We would definitely return."

"This is THE place to stay if you want ultimate luxury in the seclusion of natural beauty. The views of Waipo Vally are unmatched. Proximate to Honokaa and Wainea, lots of food options exist, and its not far from Kona or Hilo... best of everything! Kids will love the pool as will kids at heart! And there are mysteries to be discovered in the vast collection of books... and the discovery will lead to higher perspectives... loved it!
