Staying with Ryan and Yasmin is a delight. It feels like a home away from home. They are gracious and helpful if there’s anything you might need! They have a lot of love and creativity to share. The house, rooms, and land are very pretty. It’s about the same length drive to either Kona or Hilo. I like how peaceful and quiet it is up on the property. It’s a great place to get away from the traffic in the cities but still feel like you’re in Hawaii. It’s very close to Waimea, which is one of my other favorite towns with a few coffee shops, grocery stores, shopping areas, and local restaurants. I like this location because it is a little cooler and sometimes rainy (being near rainforest side) but now I like it even more because of the aloha that Yasmin and Ryan bring to the area :) I had an extended stay, so we did a lot of fun things together, like planting orchids in the trees and cooking - I will always cherish the memories (and my cooking will be even better now)
