Merlyn and Ellie were so helpful

Owner and her friend Ellie were very helpful to me as I spent a week on the Big Island with my son for his wedding. The property was amazing with all the fruit trees and peaceful space.

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!

Quiet escape

I stayed here during the Merrie Monarch festival and enjoyed the lovely cottage and grounds. It's a quiet space in a residential neighborhood that is also largely agricultural. Large property. Loved the unique indoor-outdoor style of the cottage.

Beautiful property and garden with tons of fruits

The grounds were amazing. We were allowed to pick our own fruits like papaya, sapote, banana, mountain apple, avocado, cacao, etc. The property was clean and cozy, and the outdoor shower was very nice. Only downside was a couple of loud coqui frogs at night, and it was a bit of a drive to Hilo.

A wonderful Hawaii experience

We loved the beautiful property. We were looking forward to the open air bungalow and it was fabulous! Hilo usually has evening rains and it was just lovely. There are sunshades and curtains throughout the house, so if you don't want quite so much open air, or more privacy, you can close them. It is the perfect size for 2 people. We will be back again.

One with nature

We loved our stay mainly because of the acre of fruit trees and numerous geckos that entertain. There wasn’t any ripe fruit when we visited, except for some grapefruit, but if your trip is at the right time of year, I am sure it is fun to eat fresh fruit from the orchard. It was nice to feel like you could be outside with privacy. The house has an outdoor kitchen and living areas which we enjoyed.
