Kathy’s place was a great hub for my Big Island adventures! Coming back to her place in the evenings was a welcome respite after whatever outings my day had entailed. She was also one of the warmest and most generous hosts I’ve ever had! There was fresh fruit out on arrival and she lent me winter coats to head up to the visitor station on Mauna Kea! She also has the cutest little dog named Spud who will be totally psyched to meet you if he gets the chance! This is a great ‘entire guesthouse’ setup because the guesthouse is right next to the main house and Kathy is happy to be available for questions or concerns. For my fellow women traveling sola, I felt safe here and would stay here again.
