Our family had such a relaxing vacation at Rachel & Dan’s farm. Our kids miss the farm. When we go back to the Big Island, we want to stay there again. When our family talked about our top two favorite parts of the trip, everyone named Rachel’s farm as one of them. It is truly a special place - a cottage with a loft, a farm with a waterfall, walking paths with fruits, and a farm store that has yummy chocolate Rachel & Dan make.
Rachel was a lovely host and gave our kids their favorite memory of fruit picking. Rachel gave such a detailed description of how to get to the farm. We had no problems at all despite arriving at night. She was also very responsive and checked in with us to see if we were comfortable. We had everything that we needed to feel at home in the cottage.
The location is a short drive to downtown Hilo, Coconut Island beach, Carlsmith beach (yes folks Hilo has beaches), Akaka falls, and the World Botanical Garden & Zip Line is literally at the bottom of the hill.
