My name is Michelle and I manage this heavenly cottage for an old family friend, Chuck. This cottage is truly a hidden gem which I hope you get to experience it for yourself! I truly enjoy interacting with guests of the cottage. Their gratitude is a constant reminder of how lucky we are to call this place home.
Michelle Horen purchased this Studio in 1956
Why Michelle Horen chose Hana
Many of our guests return annually. They all say the photos don't do the place justice. Everyone declares the view spectacular. There are 70 acres of government preserve between the cottage and the shore. Even so, when the whales are here (Dec-Apr), you can hear them splash and see them jump. Cattle and a few horses abound in the preserve you can watch their calves frolic. A thoroughly restful place. The serene views and private nature of the cottage offer a sanctuary of kinds for guests.
What makes this Studio unique
Koali Ranch Cottage started out as a vacant lot set aside for a school house. In 1955, the Territory of Hawaii decided that it did not need a school there and auctioned it. Chuck's parents were successful bidders. The Territory insisted that the house be erected within a year. The cottage was designed by local architect John Tatum working with island famous Val Ossipoff.
