Cute cottage in Cloud Forest

Very nice two bedroom house about 15 minutes up the mountain from town. Great place to get away from the crowds but still close to the beach. Comes with very friendly cat which we loved to have around after ling days hiking and beaching. Definitely need a car.

Craftsman Cottage Stay

Absolutely OUTSTANDING in all respects! The property is lovely in the cloud forest. The house is extremely clean and well maintained, especially for the environment. Kathryn was excellent and brought fresh eggs for us to enjoy. That being said; first night - Coqui Frogs were a bit hard to handle. Wife was ready to pull a "My Cousin Vinny", except we didn't have a hand gun. By the last night she was actually in love with the forest sounds and misses them at night. We truly hope we are blessed enough to visit Kathryn and Bill in the future and stay here again!

It’s an amazing property, beautiful and quiet. The house is dotted with gorgeous local culture decor. Bill and Kathy are incredibly kind, responsive, and informative. They provide everything you need, from a full functioning kitchen and washer/dryer unit, to two bedrooms and a loft with extra pillows and blankets. Not recommended if you don’t like narrow, partly unpaved roads to get there. Also, it gets DARK at night, that’s the nature of the island, so be careful driving in and out. Overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience.

So many exceptional details…Cool elevation, quiet surroundings, comfortable and accessible house, and the complete kitchen. A photographer’s dream landscape! We recommend a visit to the nearby Cloud Forest Sanctuary for a 90-minute educational hike. Wonderful opportunities abound. We love the louse, the location, and the feel-at-home environment.

House beautiful, wonderful hardwood everywhere, kitchen well stocked, all manner of beach equipment like chairs, towels, snorkeling stuff. Close to the wonderful Kona Cloud sanctuary, highly recommend doing one of their tours. Mountain thunder coffee also close, interesting short tour. Kathryn and Bill great. Can’t recommend highly enough. Will definitely be back!

Frogs and Flowers

The stay here was awesome. The cabin was actually nicer than the photos represent. Very clean and tidy. The owners are nearby but the the vegetation is so thick you wouldn’t know it. Beautiful surroundings! It is worth noting that your gps will get you almost there. Make sure you have the owners phone number to guide you in. Expect rain almost every day but you are typically 10 minutes away from clear skies and 15 to 20 degrees warmer. Nice place I would recommend.

Wonderful forest retreat

This cottage was just want we wanted, a quiet retreat in a rainforest. You could hear birds in the trees all day and frogs at night. We loved hanging out on the covered deck which was nice when it was raining. The hosts had everything we needed, lists of gear for kids and the beach. We will definitely be back with our kid sometime. Hosts were super helpful when google maps gave us incorrect directions.

Rainforest retreat

Fly into Kona and glance up at the mountain - you'll be about halfway up there, shortly. The cottage is nicely secluded and quite private. The hosts could not have been nicer, and you'll likely meet their chickens, sweet dog, and "patrol" cat. The cat came by every day to see what we were up to - he's friendly but indifferent - you know: a cat! Everything on the VRBO site was according to Hoyle, no surprises. Listening to the frogs at night was just amazing. We are just two adults but the place can accommodate a family or even two couples easily. Would stay there again, and recommend to anyone.

Not clean and cluttered

The driveway to the Cabin is just lovely. The cabin looks good. A beautiful place. The cabin is very nice built. Once we tried to unpack the problems started. No place to put your clothes in the master bedroom so we lived out of our suitcases. There is a closet, it had stuff including a someone's swimsuit in it. Every flat surface had knickknacks on them so again no real place to unpack. The bedding in the master was threadbare. Towels were good. The kitchen counter was full except one small cutting board to prepare food. The stove hood was greasy. As was the top of the fridge. We cleaned them both. Lots of coffee cups but only a few mismatched drinking glasses. The skylight was mostly covered in green and the inside had cobwebs. We left after only 2 nights because it was just uncomfortable. We owe a Vacation home that we rent out. What I've leaned is less is more (except in kitchen plates, flatware, utensils and towels. Over decorating is just too much. Give your guest room to spread out. Hire a cleaning company to do the deep cleaning if you don't want to do it.

This property is located in the rain forest close to Kona town. Beautiful, lush forest so peaceful and quiet. Bill & Kathy were great hosts! On our last morning, Kathy brought down a Jackson Chameleon for our 11 year old grandson to see. He was crossing the driveway! We watched him change colors as he slowly disappeared in the lush gardens. Definitely coming back!

Rainforest oasis

Husband and I checked in for our 10 day stay at this property. The host provided us a few light breakfast items as well as some very appreciated coffee as we got in late at night. The grounds of the house are simply amazing, lush and vibrant. The frogs, crickets and birds provide a peaceful ambiance. The soaker tub is more enjoyable then one would think as it gets quiet cool in the evenings up on the mountain. The flowers and trees on the grounds were incredible and diverse!! So many beautiful plants I have never seen in person before! Smell them ALL. You can thank me later. The home is SPACIOUS, mind you it was just the two of us this trip. We stayed in the room with the king sized bed, this is your warning to use a night light as the desk and bed are rather close together and my thighs took a serious beating haha. The home offered the amenities we were looking for- quiet, off the beaten path, peaceful, tropical. And we definitely enjoyed our time there. The hosts were pleasant to speak with (they live on the property but not in view of the property). My only thing- it was fairly dusty….. (ceiling fans, loft bed, bugs in window ledges, cobwebs) to which I wouldn’t complain about except you do pay a $150 cleaning fee. Perhaps it’s me being overly OCD just something I took notice of. All in all, we enjoyed the home and the grounds. And would definitely consider another stay at this cottage in paradise!

Great location away from commotion of city.

Our family loved the house. We enjoyed the cool nights listening to nature as we fell asleep. Kids loved the outdoor soaking tub and "playing" with owner's chickens. Location was perfect with just a short drive to get into town but far enough away to feel like the middle of nowhere. Kathryn and Bill were great hosts and even brought us fresh fruit during our stay.
