Pu'u Menehune (Guds land!) 13 Acre Ranch-hjem, Stream & Waterfalls

My bad for not telling our housekeeper about this guest's arrival. A beautiful tropical flower arrangement was left over from our housekeeper's welcoming of a prior guest and the pre-cleaning our housekeeper always does prior to check-in was not done for the same reason. Again, my bad. One of our toilet seats and lid had some mildew stains these guests brought to our attention during their stay, and we promptly replaced the seat and lid. No guest has ever been stuck going up our gravel driveway. It is a country ranch-lot with a long, meandering, mowed, grass driveway!!! That is nice-part of the charm and mystery of the Property. These guests had an unexpected flight delay due to a tropical storm passing the Big Island and asked for a 2-day extension. We volunteered a $100/day discount on the booking rate to show them some Aloha!

Mahalo Monique! We luv having you return to Pu'u Menehune and we welcome all of the positive energy that comes with you!

Thank you Keala for your kind words and for taking care of Pu'u Menehune during your stay!!! Please come visit us again!!! Mahalo, Peter

These guests notified us just prior to departure that a door would not lock (i.e., a deadbolt would not engage). They did not report to us that a glass door-knob to the pantry had also shattered. We immediately sent our carpenter who made a fix (same day) of the deadbolt and also replaced the pantry door-knob. Our housekeeper called the day these guests departed to complaint of bits of tissue paper strewn about the floor of the house, liquid laundry soap spilled all over the pantry shelf and at our coffee station, and further complained of the pantry's broken glass, door-knob. I called these guests immediately after their departure to ask them to address these issues? While the broken deadbolt and broken glass door knob may not have been their cause, they left the house in poor condition and we did not respond to their request at the end of their stay to rebook Pu'u Menehune for Christmas 2026. At the end of their stay, these same guests tried to rebook Pu'u Menehune for Christmas (2026). But because of the poor condition in which the house was left, we did not respond. We encourage guests to use commercial fire logs (from the grocery store) and to dress warm in Winter. That is part of the charm of up-country living!!! These same guests have stayed at Pu'u Menehune twice before in the past year, so they clearly enjoy the Property and their comments are very favorable. We appreciate guest-comments and we have repaired the broken door. Mahalo nui, Peter

Aloha Shane, Mahalo for your thoughtful and heartfelt review! Your words capture our own experiences of Pu'u Menehune -- although your references to Hobbits in the meadow below is a "first".
