This is a lovely place with a wonderful backyard view of a large meadow, trees, and the occasional cow in the distance. The mist creeps in around sunset and sunrise, but you can still see the Mauna Kea observatory glinting in the sunrise. Close to the wonderful town of Waimea, which has everything you need, and around half an hour to 45 mins to various beaches. Great place to start a day trip to Hawi, really interesting, or to the Waipio Valley lookout. But at home, it is peaceful and private. We equipped home, very clean and nicely fixed up, great kitchen. Fans throughout and full heating/cooling system that we never touched. Lots of hot water. Easy access with keypad lock. Good parking under the overhang, and excellent washer-dryer set up. So quiet, just chickens, moos, and an occasional car driving by. I'd stay here anytime. I loved sitting out on the lanai and watching the meadow. Nobody is trying to sell you anything and you can go anywhere on the island as a day trip.
