This place was the highlight of our trip. The photos do a great job of expressing the experience but the actual experience is even better. Even though the house is 20 minutes from Hilo and 10 minutes to Pahoa, coming back to the house after a day of excursions was an absolute pleasure. The house, pool, grounds and views were stunning!! We spent 2 weeks here and really did not want to leave. Dan and Sumiko were wonderful hosts who were friendly, informative but not intruding. Sumiko treated my wife to a passionate tour of their farm and gave her informative tips about gardening. Our kids really enjoyed lounging at the pool. We hope to make a return visit in the future!
