This secluded little piece of serenity was just what we needed for a weekend escape from Kohala. Though I already live on island, I found that to really enjoy an area of the island you have to stay overnight in the areas you would like to explore. (esp since Big Island is BIG) I really appreciated the thoughtfulness Candice & Richard put into the details here. The gas fireplace, the towel warmer, the heater in the bedroom, actual hot water (believe it or not hard to find sometimes in Hawaii) fresh coffee ready to grind and even thai basil in the window! I highly recommend staying here for recharging and relaxing. Close proximity to Volcanoes National Park and Volcano village as well. Thank you Candice & Richard for hosting such a special place.
