We wanted a get away from everything place. We decided on the Big Island to represent our last state. It was perfect. We consider ourselves travelers, not tourists. We do not do resorts and prefer to get to know the REAL place we are traveling to. Kathleen's Hideaway is as advertised. It is rustic yet has a complete feel to it. Traffic is minimal where she is located and it is just down the hill to Two Step snorkeling and a new rodeo arena being built.
