Perfectly located on the drier side of Waimea with views of Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa & Hualalai. Plenty of room for 4 of us with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and an open living & dining room with lots of natural lighting. We enjoyed the warm days and slept well on cool nights. My favorite moment was world class stargazing from the outdoor seating with my kids. There were so many visible stars on the moonless night, no wonder Mauna Kea is sacred to natives & to scientists. I also enjoyed watching the sunrise from the cozy living room, and the bed sheets were wonderful. The standalone unit feels fairly private and is in a spacious neighborhood with 5+ acre lots. Marc was very welcoming and respectful of space & privacy. We would definitely stay at Mauna Kea Cottage again!
