Joshua has created a very lovely and unique space that was just perfect for me. I stayed a week and would have been happy to stay longer. I had a hard time leaving Fairy the cat - who welcomed me from the get go and we were instant best friends. I loved the privacy, views, peace and the natural light plus the well-designed simplicity of the space. The large covered deck is truly amazing - you can sit outside whatever the weather. The bathroom and kitchen are both delightful. The bed is very comfortable. Joshua is on hand if needed, very helpful with arrival but totally respects your privacy - a perfect host. On the lovely wood kitchen bar you will find fruit and home made chocolate to begin your stay. The grocery store in Honokaa is five minutes away plus a couple of restaurants (But I mostly cooked at home) and Waimea is 20 or so mins and offers many restaurant options and a world class theatre - Kahilu. A 15 minute drive in the other direction is the friendly and fun Papa'aloa Country store for affordable deli, restaurant and live music most nights. Kalopa State park is a couple of minutes up the road from the house and provides wonderful native trails and picnic areas. This is a great base to explore from or a wonderful retreat to slow things down. Or both! I very much hope to return.
