Amazing property. Beautiful view and sound of the waterfall through much of the house. Enough seating and esp at the table - we were able to have all 7 of us play games at the table. Also very comfortable sleeping for 8. Property is convenient to town and things to do. Highly recommend!

The pictures don’t do the property justice! The lanai was amazing!!! Exceeded expectations! The only minor thing was not really air conditioning but lots of fans and cross breeze ways with windows but still an amazing place to stay!! Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!

This property is OUTSTANDING! The view of the river and waterfall from the wrap around lanai is BREATHTAKING. The pictures do NOT do it justice! It is no quiet little stream--it is a magnificent, roaring river and waterfall, with nothing but rainforest type jungle beyond it. The house was immaculate and so spacious and comfortable for our blended family group. If you require super cold temps with closed windows and AC, this might not be your jam. But we LOVED it--windows open to the soft floral air, plenty of fans to keep things circulating, and the sound of water everywhere. The little neighborhood it is in is super pretty too with a number of lovely historical homes. I would recommend this place not only for nature lovers but also for spiritual retreats. :)

Gorgeous views!

The property was gorgeous. My granddaughter told me it might be the coolest place we've ever stayed, she's 20. If you are a bird watcher there is plenty to see. Just a short drive to the main area of Hilo. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The VRBO description does not do justice to the river and waterfall just below the house! Lovely setting. House had everything we needed for our group.

Wonderful waterfall stay

The house was amazing and we really enjoyed out time listening to the rush of the water. The driveway is steep, but manageable. This house was a great base for our stay in Hilo. We would stay here again in the future.
