We have lived in this area for 25 years and know this area well. Our time here has been well spent. We have developed this patch of land over time and have createdf an atmosphere that is both pleasing and comfortable. We enjoy receiving guersts from many places and cultures and sharing our lifestyle. The cottage is a unique space created to make you feel relaxed and peaceful. We grow some fruits and vegetables and enjoy spending time with our animals (horse, donkey, dog and 3 cats. Kayo likes gardenig and visiting with friends. and Roby enjoys horseback riding and doing improvement projects
The cottage is surrounded with a natural ohia fores. Many wild flowers bloom throughout the year. March is the month when the lehua flowers start blooming. In the spring and summer months the orchids come into season. This country setting is full of attractions including the antics of the horse and the donkey as they plan in the pasture

We had the best time visiting Hilo and getting to know the area. Secluded, off the beaten path, yet only 30 minutes from Hilo farmers market! Our pomeranian got along so well with their boxer and I enjoyed morning walks in the back field. At night the coqui frogs are chirping. It has a wonderful feeling of being in a bird sanctuary when you fall asleep. I miss the sound. Roby and Kayo are very gracious and are the example of the people that make the big island life so inviting. No traffic, peace & serenity all around. Highly recommended!
