An experience--more than just a stay!
I do LONG reviews because I like reading LONG reviews--for the short review--precisely as advertised and very accommodating/communicative host. Now some details: It is an off-the-grid cabin with an outdoor (open) kitchen and shower amid a wonderful citrus orchard. Beyond citrus, we saw Papaya and Starfruit, but citrus was in season! Get directions clearly in advance--especially if arriving after dark--it's a gravel street and you need to open a farm-style gate--and Hawaii street numbering is confusing (especially to my Applemaps). Bedroom is super comfy (and enclosed), but the frogs, birds and insects will charm you to sleep. Kitchen is nice, but cooking is on a propane grill. The outdoor shower is a great out of body experience. It's currently the only cabin on the property and very private from the neighbors. Super convenient to Hilo, Pahoa and the area around Kilaeau--a bit of a drive to Kona, but Saddle Road is easy--and Mauna Kea is enroute. We've come to prefer to the Hilo side of the island, but that is a personal preference. This is NOT your Hawaii resort, but it's an experience you will cherish and the host did everything to accommodate our requests.

Definitely a hidden getaway
The place was a little more rustic than we anticipated. The water is not drinkable, but we were supplied with plenty of bottled water from the host. The propane tank to heat the water for the shower was empty by the final morning, so we needed to have cold showers. But otherwise the place was great. Try to arrive during daylight, it’s a hidden gem :)

Our beautiful stay
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. .

Lovely stay on a unique property
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.

A bit of paradise
This rental was to celebrate 40 year anniversary. We’ve been to Bid Island 6x. We will come back to this little gem located in southern outskirts of Hilo. You need to rent a car any time you go to Big Island. This property is semi-private. There are residents around you, but plenty of trees and foliage so you don’t see them.. We loved the privacy/security of bedroom/powder room in the actual cottage. The queen bed was really comfortable. Loved the completely roofed outdoor spaces, shower, kitchen, and sitting areas You will hear chickens and see tropical birds. Cute green lizards hang around outside areas. Bring slippers because no shoes or sandals allowed in cottage. There are a few dvd’s, but bring some of your favorites; wi-fi is great. The Hawaiian hospitality from hosts. 4 stars.

Cute-clean-perfect-for-2-place-to-stay
We had some of the sweetest and juiciest fruit from the orchard everyday! I was surprised that I could not use a hair dryer but otherwise Rich and Merlyn were easy to reach, the rental was peaceful, close enough to go to attractions/Hilo but far enough to seem like you were in your own piece of paradise. Out door shower and kitchen was different for us as we are from Canada but water pressure was great and the weather was perfect. I would recommend misquote repellent as it is lush and be surprised by the geckos that jump out of no where but are so cute.

Unique stay in a tropical paradise
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.

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.

A remote getaway
Overall a great stay. The surrounding land is beautiful and there are tons of plants. The outside kitchen and shower were an interesting experience. It was incredibly peaceful. It is off the grid, so we were warned to conserve energy, but never ran into any problems. The hosts provide a lot of drinking water and are willing to bring more. There were some really persistent roosters? Chickens? Early in the morning somewhere on neighboring property. Otherwise a really cool stay!

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.
