Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Josh Cameron or Esther Lehmann
Our extended family lived next door to this amazing property for 5 years. When the previous owners, Burl and Debbie decided to sell it and retire, it was a huge blessing to buy it. We use it as our family property and book it on VRBO when it's not in use. We have family hosting it and feel that it is a very special place. We welcome you to come and rest at our Promise Tree Hienaloli Retreat.
Why they chose this property
This property is uniquely laid out to accommodate large multi-generational families or groups of people that want to stay together but also have their individual space.
