Great spot. Wish we’d been there longer
My family and I were looking for a place to spend the night between Hilo and Volcano National Park. We loved the unique setting this home offered. There was plenty of space for everyone and Jenny was very easy to communicate with. We loved the viewing loft with a telescope but unfortunately it was a very rainy stay and we weren't able to star-gaze.If you're looking for a home feel off the main tourist areas we highly recommend reaching out to Jenny.
This place is gold. We stayed here before with my Grandma and this time I brought my very high maintenance parents. Both said they would stay again in a heartbeat! Such a generous host with all the amenities you can think of in the kitchen as well. 10/10The crow’s nest is so cool for the kiddos and all around the house is just a wonderful set up.
A fantastic stay in a secluded location! The house was unique and comfortable, the host was accommodating, and we had everything we needed.
The house was clean; beds and pillows were comfortable; host was fabulous - communicated very well, helpful with local information; while there were homes close you could not hear or see them, very "peace"-ful area; out of town Hilo, but not far; Foodland & Safeway is Kroger(midwest); kitchen and frig well stocked; the observation loft was too scary for us to venture up; the grill and fire pit were wonderful; enjoyed the back deck daily. Frogs of all sizes were vocal at night which was nice and visible during the day. The feral cats added a nice home feel to the property. The fans in the rooms were great. Full sized Washer and Dryer worked great. Supplies were very helpful in kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and for water activities. There are family games which was nice to fill in down time. Only suggestion would be to manicure and add rock to the driveway but it was early in the season with spring growth. We cannot say enough great things about this host, Jenny. Very friendly, texts to check on things but leaves you alone to not feel "watched", but gives comfort that she is available when needed. 30 minutes from Volcano National Park and everything in Hilo. 2.5 hours from Kona (scenic route); almost 3 hours from Waimea. There is a "Cafe" on the SR going toward Hilo, right after you turn right onto the main road - very inviting. Farmers markets are not great this time of year because everything is starting to grow. Go to Phoenix Coffee, ABC for souvenirs, & Hapuna Beach.
We enjoyed our stay during the Merrie Monarch Festival. We will be back! Mahalo Jenny!
Such a unique property in a gorgeous location! The owner communicated well and
Exceptional stay!! Everything was clean, warm and cozy, along with all the comforts of home. Beautifully surrounded by lush greenery, it was so relaxing to sit on the back porch and breathe in the fresh air.
On your day of check-in, be prepared with patience to drive and find this truly secluded house , especially if you have a late check-in. Once you get familiar with the roads and surroundings , you will start feeling good about the place.
The house was lovely, everything was clean and in great condition!
Everything was awesome. Check in and check out was very easy! Simple nothing fancy and very kid friendly! We will be definitely using Jenny again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay. Jenny was very responsive. A great location between Volcano National Park and Hilo. "Secluded" is very accurate!
Trippy spot. I loved it. Kitchen was nice place to cook. Unique for sure. Would come again. Thank you
Jenny was very welcoming and we arrived in time for a brief tour of the home. The amenities met our needs in preparing for meals, the drive to the store is quite a ways away. So make sure you got your list and make your stops before heading into Fern Acres. It’s a beautiful place and an adventurous property. Amazing home! I would’ve never know the lifestyle in this style home, but it’s very beautifully set and modern.There’s lots of activities and games to do family time together. The back porch is perfect for outdoor sitting and watch the sunrise!!
This house was incredible. Total little gem mahalo for the accommodations!!
Yes, everyone was was there that you could have possibly needed. Easy drive to park and zoo, downtown Hio was easy access.
Great location and very responsive ownership
Was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The house itself is nestled between the beautiful greenery, with plenty of fruit trees and vegetation. Inside the house, it feels like a fairy garden. Very well equipped kitchen with a lot of passion fruit for us to enjoy! The host is absolutely kind and gave a lot of suggestions on when to go to the national park. Totally recommend this treasure trove of a place to stay and enjoy! Kids had a blast! Thank you very much for hosting us!
Host was great, very friendly & very kind. Best mamaki tea we’ve ever had. It was great.
The home was very spacious for group staying. Its pretty close to the Volcano park. Overall, the home stay was good.
Such a fun place to stay! Off the beaten path, quiet.
This was a nice property to stay at. It was in a private area, and the house was clean.
Comfortable and spacious in a quiet and beautiful setting. Great for our group. Excellent communication and response from host. We would love to return.
I loved this place! It was close enough to stuff but fare enough away that you’re completely isolated.
Our family group of 10 stayed comfortably at this unique tropical home. The host, Jenny, was kind and accomodating which made us feel very welcomed. Location was great to access Volcano National Park as well as being in close proximity to Hilo. The kids loved to climb up to the observation room. We enjoyed our stay and the hopsitality of our host!
This was a PHENOMENAL stay!! the space was so clean and large. my friends and i had a blast hanging around the property and exploring. The host was so thoughtful communicative. Would definitely stay here again 11/10
Spacious house, as advertised
The property is quiet and the house is spacious, very clean, comfortable an has all the basics you need and the host is hospitable. Our issues were with the inaccuracy of the listing and limited response from host when we asked for clarity and pictures of the bedrooms. Although the house is spacious, it is not 4 rooms. It’s 2 rooms with 1 loft and an observatory area that the average person would find very difficult, nearly impossible, to access and use as a bedroom. The “stairs” to the observatory area are actually flip down footsteps without any railing.We booked the place expecting it to comfortably house 6-8 adults, unfortunately it was not and we ended up having to try find another place same day making for a very stressful first day of vacation.
Best property on the Island!!! Beautiful home! Immaculate!! Location! Security! Solitude! The host is the sweetest most wonderful person you will every meet! She goes above and beyond to make your stay the best possible! Such a pleasure! Highly Recommend! 5 STARS!!!
We had a very private get away from the hustle and bustle of Hilo Town. Great VRBO if you like a secluded hideaway. Owner was very nice and accommodating. Only hiccup was opening and closing the front gate.
We came over for a quick one-night trip to see the volcano and celebrate a birthday. It was such a cool property with plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for activities in Hilo and at Volcano. Highly recommend.
Owner is responsive and easy to work with. We had a glitch at other accommodations and needed to cover one night and owner let us. Good distance between Hilo and Volcano Natl Park. We were travelling with ab7 month old and needed a lot of floor crawl spce. Nice stay.ingant
The place is spacious and very quiet for a family vacation.
This was a beautiful, secluded place to stay right in between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Starting the mornings with coffee on the back porch listening to the birds was a highlight of our trip. Jenny is a very communicative host, and was awesome to work with.
Host made sure the entire stay that we had what we needed. The house was a really cool design and set back from the road makes it peaceful and feal like your by yourself while still being close to necessities. I would highly recommend this property.
Stayed for only one night. 20 minutes from the park. House is spacious, quirky and lovely (it is a geodesic dome). Secluded yard with large covered back deck we enjoyed. Jenny is a gracious host who met us and toured the house with us, explaining everything along the way. House was clean with lots of linens and a fridge full of condiments and such free for us to use. House can easily sleep a large family.
Situated between Volcanos National Park and Hilo, this is a unique home with everything we needed to recharge for our next adventure on the Big Island. The kids liked playing hide-and-seek in this spacious home.The home is in a private residential area where dense forest and a private gate in the driveway all but guarantee privacy.The host was made us tea from a local plant, which was a nice touch.
we needed a place for 10 of us to stay, close to volcano. this was a wonderful, affordable option in a really quirky space! everyone was comfortable, the host was super responsive and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. the property is in a secluded, out of the way spot too, but grocery store was only 15 min away.
