AMAZING! Liz has created an adorable, comfortable place for you to relax within the fern forest! We were truly blessed to have this as our first experience in Hawai’i! There is so much natural beauty and culture to experience on the east side of the big island.
Liz met us at check-in despite it being nearly dusk (we quickly learned there is no day light savings on the island). She has put in so much hard work and thoughtfulness into the details here– –fresh eggs, goat soap, robes, amazing choices for shampoo and conditioner, fresh flowers, and small nooks and trays to place your own items. Liz is indeed a superhost!
The sounds of the roosters and visiting with the goats made our experience even more authentic. Though you can hear the roosters in other areas of the home, you will not hear them in the room you are sleeping in, especially with the fan on. Illana, one of Liz’s dogs will be your new best friend! She gets so excited when you come out in the morning! It is so fun to watch Taz, Liz’s second dog help Liz with the goats. We loved getting a glimpse of the beautiful life Liz has created on the island in action.
At night, we were just a quick drive away to be able to venture out to the volcano and see the lava and the multitudes of stars at Volcanoes National Park.
Liz was so welcoming and engaged with us as we came and went through the days to offer great local tips and suggestions. However, she also completely respected our privacy. She is very good at reading you and making you feel comfortable, whatever your needs are.
We hope to be back some day!
