Very nice and cosy retreat

Well equiped and well decorated old farmhouse located is a quite neighborhood. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen or the outdoor shower (even if the weather hasn’t been very cooperative). It was a nice stop in our trip visiting Hawaii

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.

Paradise found!

Dale’s Vintage Farmhouse was just perfect. We stayed 8 days, using the farmhouse as our home base while we enjoyed the island. Our last day we rested at the farmhouse, just savoring the sights and sounds. Fresh squeezed oj, coquis chirping, gentle breezes blowing. We will truly miss this place.

Wonderful!

We loved our stay in Dale and Ed's house. This is a very special place. We enjoyed hiking in Kalopa Forest and exploring Honokaa area. The house is really lovely and lovingly furnished and cared for. We cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen both nights. Glad that we had a tour of Dale's wonderful and magical garden!

Perfect Hawaiian Retreat

Our stay at the vintage farmhouse was memorable! The house and botanical gardens were outstanding, with every detail throughout a reminder that we were there to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature and each other. It’s location near Kalopa State Park and Forest Preserve made us feel as if it we were stepping back in time and experiencing Hawaii before tourism was an industry. The Vintage Farmhouse is a perfect Hawaiian Retreat.

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!

WOW, The Farmhouse exceeded all of our expectations. Very rare find in a unique section of Hawaii

Dale has thought of every little detail that made our 10 days magical. She has taken great pride in renovating this jewel in the jungle, down to the details that add comfort and ease. The gardens, fruit trees and nearby State Park create an environment of pure bliss.

Wonderful stay

We loved the house and the garden. It was beautiful, well organized and had everything we needed. The outdoor shower with hanging orchids and river stones was heavenly. Dale was lovely and showed us around her amazing garden. We appreciated the welcome gift. We would stay here again and recommend it to all our friends.

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!

Rainforest farmhouse

Very clean; comfy beds; fun to shower outside; fell asleep to the frogs; little traffic; within walking distance of the state recreation area; we picked oranges for breakfast. It is a bit of a haul up the mountain but then you have peace and quiet! We could come back! The communication from the hosts was helpful and timely.

Amazing!!!!

Stop looking and book now! We LOVED every minute of our stay at Dale’s Farmhouse. We rented both the main house and the bird house for our family of four (two adults and two teen agers) and had more than enough space: three bathrooms (!!), three beds, huge beautiful kitchen, comfy living and dining room, and gardens and outdoor space that will take your breath away. After two nights, we didn’t want to leave and are already strategizing a return…

Beautiful slice of Paradise

If you are looking for seclusion in the Hawaiian hills, this is the spot! Lovely farmhouse with gorgeous gardens, peaceful setting, outdoor shower, and even better hosts! Thank you so much Dale and Ed. If you are arriving when it is dark, pay close attention to the directions, as it can be tricky to find. Enjoy this slice of Paradise. Dale and Jane

Amazing Jungle Getaway

We had the most magical experience staying at this property in Honoka’a. It exceeded our expectations in almost all aspects. Dale provided almost everything you could need at the property to have a pleasant stay. We loved everything about this place. Highly recommend experiencing the island here. Kalopa was surreal walking through the forest, although there is no waterfall in kalopa state park as we came to find out. Honoka’a town is small quaint and beautiful. The whole Hamakua coast is just a wonderful area to experience the islands. Thank you again!

The perfect peaceful retreat

I can't say enough about how perfectly thoughtful every little touch was in the vintage farmhouse. From the beautiful gardens to the well-appointed outdoor spaces, the kitchen that had everything we needed and the comfortable living and bedroom areas with plenty of windows that made it feel like sleeping in the forest... this house delivered on the perfect restful, slow-paced vacation. We did plenty of sightseeing, snorkeling, and learning around the island, but we also kind of never wanted to leave "home." If you're looking to stay in the area and for that simple life vibe, you cannot do better than this. I hope to be back.

Amazing stay at the Vintage Farmhouse

Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about Dale and Ed’s Vintage Farmhouse. It is simply perfection in every way. From the absolutely gorgeous gardens surrounding the house to the incredibly charming vintage decor inside, this rental was truly wonderful. We so enjoyed strolling through the gardens, showering in the outdoor shower, eating meals on the deck, playing games in the cozy living area in the evenings, and falling asleep to the songs of the frogs. Magical! We hope to have an opportunity to come back one day and will absolutely recommend the farmhouse to friends and family!

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.
