Charming A-Frame near Waimea

Our family stayed in this charming a-frame in June. It's a nice property with a great view, well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and garage. This was our third time on the big island, but our first time staying near Waimea, which has such a relaxed vibe. The owner was super communicative and helpful - thanks so much Lise!

Consistent with the other reviews, we were very happy with our stay at the horse house This is an excellent location to base your trip around Hawaii.. the climate in the town here is a bit cooler, so there’s no need for ac. It’s very central and you can get to any of the attractions you want to go to easily. We would stay here again if we come back.

We stayed in this house several times. And we always happy to come back. It feels like home. There are three bedrooms with comfortable beds . A kitchen has all equipment that you need. And you have opportunity to have a rest in a cool place after a hot beach, because the weather in Waimea always little cooler than on the beach. Lisa is a great host . She helps us with any questions.

We were on Hawaii Island for a family birthday / luau. With us were family members who had never been to Hawaii before. Lio Ka Hale was perfect for our needs. Lise was very responsive to any questions. We had everything we needed, including a toolbox, which came in very handy for repairing a wheel chair we brought with us! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Waimea Property

We loved staying at the this lovely Waimea property. This was the most well appointed vacation rental we have ever rented. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen that had everything we needed. We rented a condo at one of the resorts after we left The Horse House that was more expensive, and not nearly as stylish, and they didn’t even provide coffee filters. We would definitely rent this beautiful, clean and comfortable home again.

The property was equipped with everything needed. Kitchen was fully equipped and additionally supplied was Coffee and spices. Beds were very comfortable. All supplies were available inside the house. The garage had coolers and beach chairs for day trips. That was a bonus. The neighborhood was very quiet. The altitude of Waimea was very comfortable, since it cools down during the night. Great views from the house towards Mauna Kea. The communication with Lise was very professional and timely. Highly recommend this quiet place and the nice host.

Very comfortable stay

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at the horse house. Since my daughter has loved horses her whole life, the decor was appreciated. Spectacular view of the Mauna Kea. We enjoyed a very clean house with comfortable beds and cool temperatures, much cooler than at the Kohala beaches. I always like staying at a rental with a grocery store nearby which there is here, about 5 minute drive away. Beaches are about a 25 minute drive. We also went horseback riding about 30 minutes away at Paniolo Adventures which was wonderful. The neighbor's barking dog everytime we went out to the the driveway was annoying, but hard to control that situation.
