We had an amazing time at this perfect retreat in paradise where we could truly unwind. The grounds are beautiful and full of local fruit. On a clear day you can see Maui from the backyard!The host/house sitter were terrific, very responsive and kind. It is the perfect place to relax after a day of site seeing or scuba diving. We will be back for sure!

We stayed with Donna and her husband and the property is beautiful. They were very welcoming and helpful. We weren’t around much because we were driving around the island, but they have been there for years and they know a bunch of cool spots to go to. Work 10/10 recommend and will be back in the future!

This part of the Big Island turned out to be my favorite. It's uncrowded, laid back, cooler than the rest of the island, and oh so beautiful. The hosts were warm and friendlly and gave me amazing advice on what to do. The rooms were filled with Donna's gorgeous photography. This was a special and unforgettable stay.

Wonderful property and the wind was somewhat relentless.

Dawn W.8.0/10
Feb 24, 2023

When planning our stay, I didn't realize the main living area is a converted garage with the sleeping and bathroom areas separate (you need to go outside to go between). The kitchen has a full fridge and a good number of appliances but is just a single counter without a stove in a relatively dark room. To get good light you need the garage door open which isn't particularly feasible when it's stormy and is far from private as it's opens onto the main driveway. The weather was very stormy while we were there so we spent each day driving to other parts of the island and only returning at night as there wasn't a nice place to relax if you couldn't relax outdoors. The farm property is lovely with nice views and lots of fresh fruit. The owners are friendly and will stop by each day to check on you and recommend activities.

Our new little slice of heaven on the North end of the Big Island! Kevin and Donna are gracious hosts, knowledgable of all things local and pleasant to be around. The grounds are an extra bonus for us as we appreciate the fauna, landscape and new birds to identify! The orange blossom fragrance on the property was epic and surreal. We will be back again and again.

The property offers expansive and gorgeous views while relaxing in unique and thoughtfully creative spaces. We enjoyed the large rooms and wonderful artwork. Our hosts greeted us with a warmth and inclusiveness that was unexpected and lovely, providing insights into the area that were so interesting - we are very glad we found "Always in Season" and would love to stay again.
