The cottage and the property are just magical! The climate is quite different at 2,400 ft elevation - nice and cool. The creatures are fun to find - geckos and coqui frogs! The pheasants visit to say hello. Mary is a gracious host.
Absolutely picture perfect stay. Impressively decorated and incredibly comfortable cottage with a lot of quiet and privacy. It's only a partial kitchen, but that being said, it's stocked with so many additional appliances that it's easy to cook something simple for yourself if you need to.
Itâs a gorgeous property that I wish we could have explored. Lodging is perfect with all needed accessories for a day at the beach. Location is very convenient to Kona.
Mary was very welcoming and made every effort to make our 2 week stay a delight. The cottage and extensive private tropical gardens make a fantastic retreat.
The host was very helpful when we had questions. This was my first time trying vrbo, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time. If you're looking for a beautiful and secluded scenery. This is the place to stay, would recommend to friends and family.
This cottage was so amazing! It was so secluded and surrounded by gorgeous plants and wildlife. Mary was very responsive and helped make our stay incredibly pleasant. It was only about 15 min from the main Kona area and super close to the start of the Kona coffee belt. The place was clean, well stocked and had a lot of outdoor lounging areas for the days we didnât travel much. There was even a cute little family of pheasants that would visit us every morning. It was such a cool way to enjoy the island, I would highly recommend!
This place was spotless. The grounds are insanely pretty. At 2400ft elevation, it was cool wvery night. Mary, the host, is awesome. Minimal kitchen capabilities was only a slight issue. Really AMAZING and FABULOUS place to stay for a great price. Being right near the cloud forest sanctuary and many of the coffee farms was very nice as well
Pictures cannot do the property/cottage justice- this is a spectacular rainforest paradise! Well-appointed, comfortable, and the temperature up in the forest was welcome respite from the heat in Kailua town. Host has thought of everything and communication was easy. Do not hesitate to book this property- it will be a highlight of your stay.
The cottage was very private and in a beautiful setting in the rain Forrest, wild pheasants came to visit everyday, Mary was a great hostess, we would stay again and recommend to our family and friends
This cottage was truly an amazing experience. Very clean space, although it is in a forest, you can tell this property is well looked after. You wake up every morning to pheasants, and they eat straight out of your hand. Very spacious, and the bathroom has a lot of free toiletries. If youâre thinking about booking, noon this place! The pictures do not do it justice!
We absolutely loved this amazing property! I cannot say enough about how beautiful the outdoor spaces you get to enjoy during your stay are. The owners have put so much hard work into making this a tropical rainforest oasis and it shows. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The pheasants coming by in the morning for treats the owners left us was the highlight of our mornings! We would love to come back soon and stay longer next time! Our two days here were amazing. Mary was such a joy to correspond with and we appreciate her so much!
Nice cottage with grounds very well maintained, all enclosed in a tropical foliage setting. Very pretty cabin well built but lacks comfort; for one, it seems does not encourage cooking. All cooking hardware from burners to toaster etc. all underneath the sink cabinets. Microwave on top of refrigerator needing effort to reach. (Needless to say, we did little cooking. Future guests should know you will be living of your luggage; no cabinets and small closet space in bedroom. That said, beautiful area; the drive, and especially the peaceful solitude of the area. As we enjoyed the whole island of Hawaii for 7 days visiting volcanos, hiking and just spending everyday at the beach was wonderful. Then to come to a nice place to unwind listening to all the night creatures from crickets to the coqui frog while constant rain, was delightful; then in the morning to be awaken by all kinds of fauna from domesticated pheasants to hens and roosters and an occasional wild pig, was entertaining.All in all a nice and value place to stay and depending on your needs and what you are looking for, a very nice place, but if you are into cooking, very limited supplies.Owners were very attentive and welcoming.
Clean, quiet, serene. Mary was gracious and accommodating, allowing us an earlier than normal check in after a long day.The pheasants were fun, the yard and gardens beautifully kept. A great out of the way location but still close enough to town.
We loved everything about our stay and canât wait to go back. This cottage in the rainforest is absolutely perfect. The property is beautiful and Mary is so helpful. If you want to truly feel like you are on vacation on the Big Island this is the place to stay.
Lovely little hideaway with pheasants who visit each morning. Having coffee on the porch was a highlight of the trip along with being lulled to sleep by the jungle noises each night. Make sure to bring cozy clothes because it gets a little chilly at night but we will be sure to return!
