Out of 12 days between Oahu and the Big Island, and 6 B&B's, Lilly and Brian's place was our favorite! Their little "chateau" is truly wonderful and an awesome value! The bed was so comfortable, linens were high quality, bathroom was great, and the location is very private. Lilly and Brian have obviously put a lot of thought into all the little details of their guests' stay. They take pride in their job as hosts, and it shows. Their property and main house is well thought out, creatively designed, and beautiful. Very interesting if you're into sustainability, permaculture, and being off-the-beaten path!
Aside from the material aspects, Lilly and Brian were great to visit with. Brian clued us in on a science talk at Volcano's Natnl. Park in the evening and went along with us... which was great! They're well connected on Oahu too and helped us out even after we'd left their place! Oh, and I must not neglect to mention their delightful furry family members- Ranger, Miles, Bruce, and Zyla?! We're big animal lovers, and getting to visit with these guys (two dogs and two cats) really rounded out the stay : )
We wish we'd had more time with them and to explore the Volcano area.. schedule at least a few days here! There is so much to do. We'll definitely stay with Lilly and Brian again when we return to the Big Island!
