Perfect Couples Retreat
We stayed here a few nights during Hilo side of the trip. Really great property that felt secluded but still close to food and grocery options. The property owners were very friendly and helpful with local recommendations for us. We would stay here again.

Hilo side stay
Great little place tucked away from the busier Hilo area. Probably a bit better suited for 4 than 5 given the overall size and having to use an air mattress. Owners were nice and let my kids feed the koi, which was exciting for them.

Secluded paradise!
Immaculate garden and studio guest house; very clean and comfortable with all immediate necessities; peaceful and secluded; friendly, low key and communicative owners. We had a wonderful two night stay, a perfect place from which to explore the western side of the island. The location is away from town, very relaxing, with stars, stars, stars... We have already told many friends, and will return.

Quiet guesthouse on beautiful property
Our family of 3 loved our stay at the guesthouse. The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the view from the lanai over the lush property. Our daughter especially loved feeding the koi fish and chasing frogs.

Jennifer and Jeff have a beautiful and peaceful guest house with inviting decor and the property is extremely clean and comfortable. We hiked in Hawaii Volcano NP and the guest house was perfect after tackling the trails. We hope to return to the Big Island and stay here again

Beautiful Hawaiian Guest House
We loved staying at Jennifer and Jeff's guest house. It was private and beautiful. Our hosts were very welcoming and responsive. The house is in a nice location to explore HVNP, Hilo, or Puna. This was a very comfortable stay for my wife and I. We would stay again. Mahalo

Piece of Paradise
The property is absolutely stunning, beautiful and private. Its location was perfect for us to explore the Hilo side of Hawaii and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park area. We loved the peacefulness of the view from the guest house and koi pond. It was a great stay...even the coki frogs croaking at night helped make it a unique experience.

This ohana and property are one of the best places you will find in the Hilo area. Jeff and Jennifer are terrific hosts and the unit is equipped with just about anything you can imagine.
