The house and grounds were even more beautiful than in the photos. The woodwork throughout the house is amazing. Luggage is not allowed upstairs in order to protect the wood. The upstairs rooms are an open loft style. The views are incredible. We enjoyed waking to the sunrises from bed and watching the peacock strut his feathers each morning. The sounds of nature (rooster, peacocks, horses, birds, frogs) were continuous all day and night and loud but I loved it. It was so fun to hear all the animals happy in this paradise setting and so peaceful to drift off to sleep and wake up to their orchestra. The drive in is not for the faint of heart. Definitely drive a 4 WD, get there before dark, and ask for alternate directions if it’s raining! This is not a road to drive for the first time in the dark. We found it helpful to have ice and bottled water as the water is stream fed and unfiltered and fridge was slow to cool. The house was incredibly clean. It is off grid and run with propane and a generator. It was fun to experience that way of living and it reminds you of the resources you use. WiFi was slow and cell coverage spotty but you don’t go to a place like this to be on your phone. The water pump was a bit loud whenever water ran but part of the experience. The grounds were beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the chickens and looking at the ocean behind the lovely green rolling hills. The waterfalls are a short hike down the hill and were magical to have so accessible and private. Bring bug repellant for mosquitoes although the breeze helped keep them at bay on the deck. Ashley was very hospitable and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay in your paradise home. It was wonderful to get to experience the wilder side of Hawaii.
