This place is a hidden gem. Amazingly cute little cottage nestled on a wonderful farm. If it weren't for all the activities we wanted to do in the area we could have sat in those rocking chairs, or on that day bed, all day staring at the clouds, watching the sunsets and sunrises. It had everything we needed for an incredible stay.

Such an idyllic place to stay. The cottage was well appointed, the farm was beautiful and it was so peaceful. It was lovely being off the beaten path but still close to Hilo and many sights and activities. Hoping to return to this wonderful place.
Sunrise view from outside the cottage.
The lychee ripening on the tree.
Even on cloudy days the view from the lanai was pretty.

If you would like to stay in a place as close to the garden of Eden as you can get, then this is it. The cottage has everything you need, it is very comfortable, and the view and the surroundings are beautiful. Todd and Madeleine were very gracious hosts. Madeleine even alerted me to the fact that the volcano was erupting so that we could take advantage. The kitchen is well stocked if you like cooking your own meals as we do, and sitting outside in the morning in the rocking chairs, watching the geckos is a real treat. This place is one of a kind.

We spent a week at pineapple cottage. We found it very restful and had beautiful sunrises. The owners were very generous with allowing us to try the fruit on the farm. All of the accommodations were comfortable and met our needs. We sat out every morning having coffee on the porch. We made special memories during our stay on the big island. We took several day trips to see local sites and do hikes. We were fortunate to experience the erupting of the volcano at Volcano National Park during our stay!

Pineapple cottage was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the foothills of Hawaii. Perched high up on hillside you look over the fruit trees and expansive manicured grounds, then to the surrounding forest and out to the ocean. What a view! The cottage is very private, clean, and good kitchen facilities. Just grocery shop in Hilo and you’re all set. On the porch set back in a nice rocking chair and enjoy the show. 3 or 4 little geckos will wait patiently until you provide crumbs of food or a tiny slice of orange. They have a sweet tooth so cookie crumbs or a drop of honey will draw them in. Then there are the birds. Song birds are always present in small groups and fill the air with pleasant chirping. Other larger birds arrive in small flocks and settle onto the large grassy areas and search for insects or something. In the evening little frogs chime in the distance. Very nice.Pineapple cottage is well positioned for day excursions. Visit a nearby waterfall. There are at least three zip line companies, scenic drives, and back in Hilo the farmers market on Wednesday and Saturday. Also, good restaurants for lunch or a dinner out.If you enjoy science, our longest drive was a little over an hour up to the observatory visitor center. It’s chilly up there so layer up with a sweatshirt, jacket, or sweater. It was raining the day we went but at an elevation of 9000 feet we broke through the clouds. Bright and sunny with a beautiful rainbow.I’ve runout for review space, bye

Slice of heaven!

This place was perfect. We slept on the hanging bed every night and it was so peaceful. Waking up naturally to the sunrise was so refreshing and we felt incredibly well rested every morning! This is a must stay place in my opinion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It's charming and the view is awesome. Fresh homemade muffins awaited us and fruit was delivered to the porch -- a tropical fruit we'd never tried or heard of! Handy laundry only a few steps away. GREAT location! Feels so private! We enjoyed several BEAUTIFUL sunrises from the swinging outside bed. Magical. Nice bedroom inside too. Lots of hot water and water pressure. Fully equipped kitchen. Only about 20 minutes from Hilo. Plenty of TV channels and strong internet connection. LOVED IT!
