What a wonderful place to stay! Our hosts could not be more accommodating from contacting us ahead of time to the warm Aloha upon our arrival.

The BnB was adjacent to the residence of the owner yet totally private. Everything was there and at our disposal. There was a lovely lanai off of the bedroom that looked out on a beautiful garden. The bathroom was large with a wonderful shower. The kitchen and sitting area made for a perfect place to relax and eat.

We spent little time indoors as the outside was so wonderful. From the lanai you could see Mauna Kea and adjacent mountains. You are in a more rural area with Parker ranches close by. It is a short trip into the town of Wamea. Don't miss the middle of the week or weekend outdoor fresh food and local craft markets set up in a variety of the areas as well as local restaurants. Take the high road through horse country and farms to see an overview of what is below as well as the lush, green countryside and beautiful pines on your way up to Hawi and other towns at the north end of the island.
From the town of Wamea you can take Route 190 to get another overview and drive down to Kaihlua-Kona or up to the observatory at Mauna Kea. You will not be near the beaches while staying at the cottage but, you are half hour drive down to them. The weather is cooler at nights at the cottage making it wonderful for sleeping. You will also need a light jacket or sweater.

The host was also accommodating in offering to wash a load of laundry. This was a great treat since we had another week of vacationing after leaving this residence.

Thank you so much Lloyd and Loring for a wonderful holiday. You definitely covered all of our needs while making us feel at home. Aloha.
