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.

Perfect for our needs!
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.

Waimea Winner!
The stay here was excellent! Located in the Waimea area, this location provided great access to hike Mauna Kea, visit beaches along the Kohala coast and enjoy Waimea itself. Lise was very responsive in communicating with us when needed. The house is clean and stocked with kitchen needs. What a great find for us!

Amazing property and the host was reachable if you had any questions. The view of Mauna Loa was so clear and viewable from the property and the neighborhood was very quiet and friendly.
We loved our stay at the Horse House. We thought it was perfect for our family and had everything you would ever need to make a vacation pleasant and comfortable. Will go back again!

Fantastic host and property
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.

We loved staying here! Lise is an excellent host, and the house was perfect for us. It was nice to stay in Waemia as Kona, Hawi and Hilo were close. It was such a nice home to come back to every day after our adventures all over the island. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils,etc and there are a lot of great restaurants within just a few minutes drive. Ten out of ten would recommend staying here and can’t wait to go back!

Nice, comfortable and peaceful
We came 9th time to Big Island. It is our favorite summer vacation. Usually we rent house near the beach, but this time we rent home little far away and was absolutely happy with this home.
Waimea is small town 25 minutes driving from the amazing Hapuna beach. But the temperature on Hapuna was 90 starting from morning that great for swimming, the temperature in Waimea was 65 that great for the rest and sleeping. You can have two different climate during one day.
The house has all that you need and more. I can cooked lunch and dinner. If you do not want to cook by self. I can recommended Waimea Coffee Company.
Lise is very good owner of the house. She sent me all information in time and answered on all my questions.
And beds were comfortable too.

Comfortable house in a residential neighborhood convenient to Waimea and many other places on the Big Island. The house was well provisioned and was a great place to hang out between excursions. Two grocery stores and many good restaurants nearby. Would recommend.
