Mountain Thunder retreat is a cloud forest sanctuary tucked above the Kona hills. This beautiful home with everything you need, is just approx. 15 mins to Kona's downtown area. This retreat home had so many things we loved... a chefs kitchen equipped with pots, pans, utensils, and a BBQ on the lanai. Since it was only my husband and I, we had more than ample space. Each of the four bedrooms were decorated beautifully and very comfortable. When not lounging in the large and cozy living room, we spent it on the expansive lanai. We enjoyed watching sunsets sitting around the firepit sipping wine on most evenings.
Other pluses were the small heaters in every room, full laundry area, lovely birds singing throughout the day, all the farm animals that visited us throughout our stay (boars, chickens, roosters, cats, lizards, etc.), hiking all over the area, the accessibility to great coffee, and best of all getting to know the owners of Mountain Thunder. We spent some time touring the coffee farm with John and his wife Aon.
This is definitely an outstanding house and great place to stay in Kona area. We'll be coming back to make this our home again in the future. Big thanks to Lynn, John, and Aon... they made our stay unforgettable!
