Beautiful peaceful setting off grid. Merlyn is a fantastic host and so sweet. Her fruit trees are out of this world and we had complete access to partake. It only takes about 25-30 minutes to get to Volcanoes National Park.

Everything was wonderful! We especially loved sitting in the gazebo listening to the rain...the birds...the geckos...and all of the other wildlife sounds. We also enjoyed eating and juicing the citrus fruits! It was absolute paradise!

It is a wonderful, private oasis 25 minites from the Hilo airport. The check-in process was easy and communication with the owners was spot on. I did not take advantage of the kitchen, but it looked like it had everything that would be needed. I will definitely try to stay here on my next visit.

We are returning customers. My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this cute little place! We very much loved the garden with fruit trees and ornamental plants! Can see the hard work they have put in. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. A truly wonderful host who made us feel so welcome. Check-in was a breeze. We would love to stay here again. Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely the best experience for a truly relaxing stay. The grounds were amazing. Filled with flowers and fruit trees and the cottage itself was a delight to come home to after a day of exploring the Keaau and the city of Hilo. Well appointed with everything needed for a three night stay. Loved taking a shower outdoors! Would definitely recommend.
Awesome property. Very well maintained and a joy to sit under the gazebo and just listen to the birds.

Wow! We absolutely loved our stay here. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The cottage is very well stocked with all you need to cook if you wish including extras of day to day supplies. It is very peaceful and comfy with multiple areas to kick back and relax. The orchard is so fun to explore and all the sounds of nature were fun to listen to day and night. The geckos are super cute. Dick is a great owner who is communicative and friendly! Will definitely be returning!!!

We only stayed there a brief time, but its a cute place with lots of lovely fruit trees. The outdoor kitchen was nice and stocked. Lots of cute little lizzards outside. Even though the place doesn't have air conditioning it was comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the outside shower was amazing.

This place is certainly unique. The cottage is surrounded by plants in a huge lot. I oh can hear the birds sing throughout the day and evening. We enjoyed the hot shower. Initially we could not find coffee, after asking for it, the landlord came early next morning and brought us coffee. We really appreciate how much thoughts the landlord put into designing and maintaining this lovely oasis. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique experience!

Great place!

This was our first trip to The Big Island and we stayed the first part of the week in Hilo. This cottage was absolutely amazing and was better than expected! The sounds at night were soothing, we had lizard visitors, the rain was just lovely! We couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere!

Host profile image
We are peaceful and love nature in general.

Why they chose this property

Aloha... We purchased this property back 2014 and started clearing the land and planting Palm trees and Exotic Tropical Fruits that we love to eat and to explore new fruits, and practice sustainability. Now that the trees are bearing we can share our slice of paradise that we are proud of.

What makes this property unique

Guest can sit on the gazebo and kitchen area and admire the beautiful landscaping and fruits trees and enjoy the beauty of nature and have a sip of coffee and relax in an atmosphere of peace and quiet.
