After being to The Big Island a few times and staying in Waikoloa, we wanted to explore a bit more on the other side Side of the island.
Chewy reached out and confirmed our arrival time the day before. We arrived around 3pm she was there to welcome us.
We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and went to Uncle Roberts farm market that evening. This is a local farm market that has everything you need. Fruit, hot local entres and live music.
On our second day, we rode the Red Road our to Hale Park. The road now ends there because of the lava flow in 2018. We brought our own bikes. The round trip out and back is about 30km of rolling road with beautiful views of the lava and the ocean.
The Forest Cottage is exactly as pictured. The free standing unit is situated on the property to have complete privacy while also knowing Chewy is close if you need anything. The Cottage is exceptionally clean and modern and has a minimalist vibe. One of the best features is a outdoor shower that looks into the tropical fruit trees and flowers.
Because we are really city folks at heart, we really appreciated the USB plugs by the bedside and the excellent quality WIFI.
There is full kitchen with every appliance and utensil you would ever need. We cooked dinner in on our second night.
The unit has screens on all the windows and doors to keep the bugs out. We keep the windows open at night and let the cross breeze through.
We would highly recommend this unit and would stay here again.
