Just a fantastic little spot to get away to. Jennifer and Jeff are very welcoming and have made a truly exceptional oasis here. It’s out of the way enough that you don’t see or hear any of the city stuff, but within striking distance of everything you wanna see on this side of the island. Hope to come back some day soon!

Beautiful Guest House

This guest house was all we had hoped it would be from the photos - nice interior decor with a lovely lanai (porch), surrounded by green beauty. Amenities were all there with some nice extra touches, hosts were friendly and helpful. We left refreshed after our two nights and would love to visit again.

Great Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It had everything we needed and was one of the neatest and cutest guest houses I’ve ever stayed in. The garden was beautiful—I especially loved having my morning coffee next to the koi pond. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

Perfect Couples Retreat

We stayed here a few nights during Hilo side of the trip. Really great property that felt secluded but still close to food and grocery options. The property owners were very friendly and helpful with local recommendations for us. We would stay here again.
