This home is a must-stay! Our family of 4 enjoyed the comfort, amenities, stocked kitchen and plenty of space this house provided, allowing for a relaxing getaway. The home is away from the hussle & bussle of downtown Kona but still close enough of a drive to get to beaches, stores, etc. It was a bit cooler than anticipated but it was February and you're up at 3000+ feet elevation. Plenty of space heaters and blankets inside and a cute fire pit table on the lanai to enjoy the sunsets. A highlight of our stay was our private ATV tour of the coffee plantation with John. All the staff at Mountain Thunder were friendly and helpful, especially Lynn, who was very responsive to all of our requests and easy to reach. We had a great experience and enjoyed every moment of our time at Mountain Thunder Retreat.
