This home is beautifully appointed and finished, with owners who show thoughtful consideration regarding guests' needs and interests. We were pleasantly surprised to see a 'welcome' assortment of coffee and several snacks, plus well-supplied kitchen and bath areas, not to mention movies, books, and games. Lovely spacious family room and kitchen, and comfortable and large bedroom and bathroom. The country setting on the east side of Waimea is so handy to sightseeing and outdoor activities in any direction. For example, in one day, we drove the Kohala Mountain road and went horseback riding for several hours, lunched in Hawi, enjoyed the amazing views of Pololu Valley, then drove down to the Kohala Coast for a swim and drinks at the Mauna Kea. We ended the day with dinner at the Big Island Brewhaus. The previous day, we checked out the historic ranching locations. There is also lots to see to the east of the area as well. So this property is a great base, and the higher elevation was nice and cool.
