Magically Whirled Away

We were dazzled at every moment of the day. What a place for four folks to relax, explore and ponder the history of Havi. Christie’s attention to detail is impeccable: from beach bags and sheets, to delightful bath items in the coolest bath house ever, to cooking basics for grilling, to the plantings around the pool and fish pond! The morning greeting of the peacocks are a delight. The ranch land and views are beautiful and mesmerizing. If this review seems over the top and unbelievable, I’m really sincere about what I’m saying. The four of us have done a lot traveling together and this property is at the top of the list. Thank you, Christie.

Beautiful, peaceful retreat!

Miles Away cottage was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for a better location or a more beautiful setting. We ate every meal on the front porch under a gorgeous huge tree with a view out to the ocean. The house is fully equipped with everything you would need! Christine is so sweet and helpful and is the perfect hostess. We miss our little gecko friends and especially Lucky the duck now that we are home. You cannot go wrong booking this place.

Bit of quiet paradise

This place is magical. Wonderful. We have stayed here many many times, same place, and it feels like our home away from home. Has everything you need. The detached bathroom/shower is delightful, the beds/linens great. Will be back again!

Peaceful, Private Getaway

We loved staying at this immaculately renovated ranch cottage where every detail has been carefully thought out. We enjoyed spending a few nights at this private, romantic and charming location after spending several nights on the Kona coast. Be sure to check out the pool!

Amazing. Will be back.

I’ve traveled to Hawaii seven or eight times and this house near Hawi was easily my favorite. Incredibly peaceful and quiet, gorgeous views, friendly animals; my 2-year-old was endlessly entertained. If you love adventuring off the beaten path and avoiding tourist crowds, this is for you. We could have stayed indefinitely and will definitely be back. Big thank you to our hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Christie Cash

Why they chose this property

Puakea Ranch is a one of a kind historic property that was desperately in need of recusing. Local developers re zoned the historic homestead to make room for one new luxury estate home. By putting the property on the Hawaii Historic Register and restore the original plantation era homes, we saved a great piece of history for Hawaii and North Kohala.

What makes this property unique

You really feel like you have stepped back in time to the heyday of the Hawaii Sugar and ranching era. Year round sunsets, views of Maui and So close to Hawi, Kapaau and Pololu Valley, we think this is one of the very best location on the island. Elopements, Special events, Private Parties.
