Unique Experience!

My husband and I loved our stay in this old farmhouse. The owners have made great attempts to renovate the buildings without taking the feeling of being transported to a previous time when Hawaii was more rural and unexplored. The outside gardens are just fantastic! Take the time to enjoy them if you chose to go.

Vintage Farmhouse & Gardens

Peaceful place to relax and enjoy! “Vintage” describes perfectly with a house of character and comfort. Lots of space and quiet atmosphere. Amazing botanical garden to visit. Area has lots of sun but still cool. Dale was very hospitable and interesting to talk to about property and gardens. Well worth the stay and will return!

This gem is so much more than the photos can capture. Absolutely stunning restoration of an old Hawai'i farmhouse with sweet personal touches/surprises around every corner.

Very cute, and great location!

The host did a wonderful job of collecting and curating vintage pieces to create a "grandma's farmhouse" kind of vibe. Felt just like staying at my grandparents' cabin growing up. However, as with many old farmhouses, the different levels of floor did make it a little difficult to get around as a disabled person. Just go slowly, and hold onto the nearest wall. Otherwise, a comfortable stay in a serene location. Close enough to Honokaa to grab a morning malasada (or three) at Tex's Drive-In, or head over to Waimea or Hilo for shopping.

Old Style Island Home

The Grounds are so beautifully landscaped by the owner and mindfully cared for by Dale and her husband. I enjoyed picking guavas from a guava tree in yard and enjoying it for breakfast! Plus I was given fresh avacados!
