Hilo Couples Retreat
Our Hilo side stay at this property was fine. The location was perfect. We wanted a break from the busy Kona side and this was perfect. Very quiet and comfortable. We traveled to the volcano, the gardens, waterfalls, and beaches. The only crowds were at the volcano. At one beach we saw turtles and whales and watched them for 2 hours. Very nice!

This place is a total gem. The cottage is well-appointed and roomy while the surrounding area is lush and well-maintained. Loved going to sleep with the windows open, listening to the sounds of flowing water and frogs. Listening to the afternoon/evening Hilo rains was nothing short of magical. So glad we booked this lovely place instead of staying at one of the local hotels.

Beautiful! You won’t be disappointed!
The property is lovely and the space is clean, unique and so amazing to hear the rain at nice. So much nicer and safer than Hilo itself. So glad we stayed here. Thank you ❤️

Hilo honeymoon getaway
My new wife and I had a lovely stay on this rural Hawaiian farm. We were greeted upon entering with a bottle of wine on account of our Honeymoon. This small gesture set the tone for the hospitality we continued to receive throughout our stay. The yurt/hut was cozy, private, and clean with good wifi and full kitchen. I would suggest bringing earbuds if you are a light sleeper as the frogs were quite loud (my wife thought they were nice ambience, to each their own). This spot served as a great launch pad for our explorations to Hilo and Volcano National Park. The owner Scott even took the time to give us a tour of the farm, that flowed into life advice and an all around great conversation. A big thanks to Scott and Jean as this property was all we could have hoped for. The only thing this spot was lacking would be a porch on the backside to enjoy the view with our morning coffee (food for thought, Scott for your next expansion :P). Thanks again!

Pleasant Stay
Loved how quiet the area was. Fell asleep to the sounds of a running stream and coqui frogs singing in harmony. The temperature was nice and cool since you’re up in the mountains. Will definitely stay here again!

A little slice of Heaven
We absolutely loved the Dove cottage! It was a beautiful location inside and out. It is a little off the beaten path but that was exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed listening to the frog chorus and rain at night. The room was spacious and the 180 degree view amazing! We would love to visit again.
