Debbie was a gem! We had an unexpected hiccup in our trip and Debbie had a few extra things we needed handy. The place is awesome, bed slept great and super clean. We’d stay again
Our family had a wonderful stay. Debbie and Steve were friendly, helpful and responsive when we had any questions or issues. The house is lovely and the grounds are beautiful as well. Our boys enjoyed the farm fresh eggs and picking fruit off the trees surrounding the house.
Beautiful remote location off the beaten path for ultimate relaxation. The kids loved feeding the cows each morning, and the farm fresh eggs were a treat. Mahalo for sharing your ranch!
We had an awesome stay at the Broken Dog Ranch. The house was roomy and comfortable and we all slept well. Loved the peaceful setting, spacious grounds, picking fruit, interacting with the animals, eating fresh eggs.... The hosts are very nice people.
This property has an excellent location! After a busy day of adventures it is a wonderful quiet location. The owners have chickens and fruit trees. There were a dozen eggs waiting for us when we arrived and we picked oranges and limes! The owners were awesome and the property is beautiful!
My family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location. The Ohana dwelling had everything we needed and was very clean. We appreciated Debbie sharing some of the fresh chicken eggs. We didn't get to enjoy the surroundings too much, thanks to Hurricane Hone. We will definitely look to stay here on our next visit to Hilo.
Beautiful well acquainted property. Hosts were the best. Having all the animals to see and touch if you wanted to. Would recommend all to check out this gem.
This was a fantastic stay and added something special to our vacation. If you’re looking for a typical hotel experience, move on, but if you’re looking for something a little different, this is it. Steve and Debbie are so kind and welcoming and their set up on their ranch is great. It’s cozy and not too far away from stores and beaches. The rental has lots of extras like boogie boards, a few snorkel masks, beach towels, sand toys, etc. Their ranch has fruit trees, beautiful macaws, chickens, and very friendly cows. My kids loved picking tea leaves off the branches and feeding the cows. Steve and Debbie also have great recommendations for places to eat and things to see and do. Great stay!
The property served as an ideal home base for our party of five adults. We stayed three nights to explore the east side of the island - all major attractions and sites (VNP, Waipio Valley, Rainbow Falls) were within easy driving distance. The space was clean and spacious and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We loved interacting with the animals on-site, especially the macaw. Overall, a very peaceful and pleasant stay, and we would love to return to the property again when we visit the Big Island!
The hosts are amazing, super friendly and generous. The house was perfect for us 3 adults and one toddler. The house has everything you need and more! The location is a bit off the beaten path but lends to quiet and relaxing vacation!
Thank you Steve and Debbie!! We hope to return!!

Debbie and Steve were very welcoming. Debbie welcomed us as we got to the property. They shared their knowledge of the area and their fruits and fresh eggs. The home is beautiful! It was so relaxing! It’s cooler than in town and quiet. No city noise. We will definitely stay again, if we make it back.
Will definitely stay here again. Location is tranquil and beautiful. I can’t get over the view of this place. It was our first time in Hawaii, they were the best host ever. My kid loved seeing all the animals. We got to feed the cows. We got to pick some lemons, calamansi etc. They even offered us fresh eggs from their chickens. I wished we could’ve extended our stay.
My husband and I stayed here while helping our son pack and move out of the dorm. Traveling to and from UH Hilo was a breeze and Steve, Debbie (hosts) and their two adorable dogs made our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Do we recommend staying here? DEFINITELY to our demise because it may be booked when we want to stay here again!
