This was the best place I have ever stayed. The pristine beauty paired with the accommodations in an ideal locale made for an absolutely perfect and memorable stay in every way
We only stayed there a brief time, but its a cute place with lots of lovely fruit trees. The outdoor kitchen was nice and stocked. Lots of cute little lizzards outside. Even though the place doesn't have air conditioning it was comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the outside shower was amazing.
This place is certainly unique. The cottage is surrounded by plants in a huge lot. I oh can hear the birds sing throughout the day and evening. We enjoyed the hot shower. Initially we could not find coffee, after asking for it, the landlord came early next morning and brought us coffee. We really appreciate how much thoughts the landlord put into designing and maintaining this lovely oasis. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique experience!

Clean and comfortable with a great host. We enjoyed the tranquility of the property including the extensive gardens and fruit trees.
Beautiful property with lots of fruit trees, natural scenery, sounds of peace and quiet. Hostess is amazing and would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. Loved the outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower. If you’re near Hilo - stay here!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. The host was kind and responsive and thought of everything to make her guests comfortable. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
This was the best place we have ever stayed in Hawaii! The location was great. So much peacefulness and solitude. It was close to so many great things to see. Our host was incredible. We will be back.
Our stay was so relaxing and chill. We especially loved the nature of this stay. While the bungalow was a respite, we enjoyed climbing Mauna Kea and hiking to Shipman beach to see the turtles. Hilo has old world charm that beats Kona in our book.

Totally private but close to town. Very relaxing. Just sit outside and enjoy nature. Easy to locate, and owner was very gracious. Lovely setting.
Beautiful, relaxing property with tons of fruit trees!!
My partner and I had a lovely stay. Very private and relaxing, loved the outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen and lounging space. Really wonderful place to get away from it all! Lots of fresh fruit from the many fruit trees!! Great convenient location too! Would love to come back!
Great place to stay in! Hosts very attentive to your needs, fresh fruits you can pick yourself every day.
BBQ works well, and has a side too for making breakfast. Only downside is the neighbouring dogs that bark. Other then that, great place!
Had a great stay at this lovely property. The little cottage is perfect for two and the Hawaii weather makes the outdoor living area so enjoyable . We really loved walking around the garden every morning and picking fruit to make fresh juice . The host were excellent. It was a perfect little vacation .
My husband and I ended our visit to the Big Island by staying at this lovely property in Hilo for a few nights. We were aware that this side of the island gets a considerable amount of rain, especially this time of the year. We talked about possibly returning next year when the weather and numerous fruit trees are producing.

We loved our stay at this super peaceful cottage. The mostly outdoor living was the best! Listening to the rain at night was so relaxing. We had a great time walking around the orchard and trying to figure out what all the fruit trees are. The location was very convenient to HVNP and Hilo.
We didn't want a resort experience for our Big Island trip and we got what we were looking for. Merlyn was very helpful and the cottage had everything we needed, including privacy. The outdoor kitchen was definitely a bonus. We picked oranges on the property every morning for fresh squeezed orange juice. Close proximity to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the quaint town of Pahoa where we drove The Red Road.
A beautiful little cotrage with amazing fruit trees. We loved the connection with the outdoors though the outdoor kitchen and shower. The hosts left a bowl of the best fruit ever that was from thier trees. The hosts were responsive to any questions we had. This is a place that we will reflect on with fond memories for years to come.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely off-grid cottage. We loved picking papayas and star fruit each morning for our breakfast. The location gives plenty of privacy and has many nice touches. We also learned a lot about the different technologies that permits being off grid, such as solar power and battery storage, propane tanks and gas powered tankless water heaters and the need to limit high wattage items. Very cool! The hosts were responsive and addressed our needs while also being mindful of providing is with space and privacy. Mahalo!
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. The amenities were just what we needed in Hilo and the location was a great base to Mauna Kea and Volcano national park. The one thing to be aware is that this property relies on off grid energy sources. We did not have any issues but only found out on arrival that a hair dryer would drain the batteries. Cooking/boiling water is through the propane bbq. The internet worked perfectly fine! Even with the rain there were enough covered spaces to shelter and just relax.
