Beto & Maia's yurt was FABULOUS!!! My mom flew out from Minnesota to visit me in Kona - her first time in Hawaii - and so my goal was to show her as much of the island as possible. One of my plans was to spend a night in Hilo, just for fun! I was looking for places to stay, and I found Beto and Maia's yurt!! It looked absolutely adorable, and seriously -- how much fun would it be to stay in a yurt?!?! I knew my mom would love it. After a day of driving from Kona, stopping at South Point, Punalu'u Bakery, hiking 9 miles in Volcanoe's Nat'l Park, wine tasting at Volcano Winery, and sitting in a park in Hilo to was Shakespeare in the Park - Hamlet, Beto and Maia's yurt was the icing on the cake!! It was super easy to check in and the PERFECT place to unwind after a long, exhausting, busy, but fun day! Because they're located "off the grid," it's beyond peaceful and relaxing! My mom and I were able to end our day curled up on the couch, sharing a bottle of wine that we picked up from the winery, and watch some episodes of I Love Lucy on my laptop. I slept up in the coolest loft I have ever slept in! The dome was out of this world! I fell asleep looking at the stars and the moon. My mom was perfectly content to sleep in the bed in the bedroom, and she was raving about how comfortable it was!
In the morning we enjoyed pastries we bought the previous day from Punalu'u Bakery, and the coffee that Maia and Beto had left for us upon out arrival!
This place was as cute as can possibly be, incredibly comfortable, clean, and such a fun and unique place to stay!! I am THRILLED that I made the choice for us to stay at Beto & Maia's!!! My mom can't stop talking about their yurt, and is even more excited to tell her first graders all about it!
Communication with Maia was wonderful, and we never saw or heard anyone our entire time there! I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone traveling to the Hilo side of the Big Island. We seriously, couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Maia and Beto, again!!
