Lily and Brian’s guesthouse is amazing! The property is really cool (6 acres) and Brian said we were free to hike around it and explore. There’s even a makeshift bar in the back (the tavern) which they let us hang out in one night and have some drinks. Cool conversation, too.
My wife’s favorite part was the four dogs: Ranger, Miles, Lavender, and Hank. They were all so friendly and fun to play with. Brain’s a great cook too, breakfast both mornings was better than the nearby restaurants.
Looking back, staying at Lily and Brian’s was probably our favorite part of our big island trip. We also stayed at one of those huge resorts closer to Kona and those places do t have a fraction of the charm.
