Awesome location with easy access to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State park with stunning hikes for all abilities. Ishihara House is rustic yet charming, and decorated with Japanese trinkets. The area is quiet even though there are a few houses nearby. The view from the backyard is spectacular. Chickens will be ready to wake you each morning as with anywhere on Kauai. The fairly well equipped kitchen allowed us to make a few meals “at home” without much fuss. Washer and Dryer outside came in handy. The third bedroom is accessible from the front porch and has its own key. All bedrooms are a bit small but worked well for us. We would definitely recommend this house and will stay here if we were to return to Waimea.
