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.

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.

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!
