Exceptional 10/10 Peaceful Forest Paradise

Wild pigs and guinea fowl wandered through the yard while we had coffee on the lanai with a rainforest view. We traveled and saw Pele’s episode 41. Great trip. Recommend this host Thank you!

Peaceful, quiet setting surrounded by native garden. Impeccably clean home. Shared kitchen with host, guest area has microwave, minifridge and coffe maker.Host is very helpful.We enjoyed outdoor dining in the covered patio overlooking the garden. Highly recommend.

Attention to detail in cleanliness is one of this rental’s strongest points.•Host: Once again, the host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They are friendly, accommodating, and very responsive.We were thrilled to have another positive experience here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this rental again.

We had a comfortable, quiet, peaceful stay in Lelani Estates. Everything was clean and relaxing from the long driveway buffering a quiet neighborhood road to the upstairs suite with lanai overlooking a back jungle. Krisy cares for her home and the surrounding healthy yard fringed with jungle sounds and sights. She was available to ask questions and talk story. Mahalo Krisy for making your home available for guests.

My daughter and I stayed at this lovely home for three nights. The location was ideal for us. Necessities, such as gas and groceries, were close by and it was an easy drive to the Hilo area and the coastal areas to our east and south. Our host, Chrissy, was a pleasure. Communication was top-notch, both before and during our stay. This was our first time staying at a hosted rental and we wondered if privacy would be an issue - it was not. Chrissy was available if we needed her, but otherwise we barely knew she was there. We greatly appreciated her kindness and hospitality. The upstairs suite had everything we needed, such as microwave, coffee maker, mini refrigerator (with freezer), two beds (one a foldout futon) and a spacious bathroom. A second bathroom was available to us, as well. Our suite, linens and towels were clean. The house is surrounded by lush jungle foliage and accompanying nature sounds (birds and frogs), which we found relaxing, even late at night.No complaints and highly recommend.

This is a 10 stay. The house is in a lush gardenic setting in a very quiet neighborhood. Christine was an excellent host and saw to our every need. The house was immaculately, clean with a beautiful upstairs balcony overlooking our lush yard. A wonderful place to have your morning cup of coffee. We stayed a few different places before reaching Christine‘s house, we were so pleased with her place that we canceled reservations elsewhere in order to stay at the lava house. I can confidently say that is the best deal on the island.

My grandson and I stayed a week with Christine while visiting Hawaii and my older brother. Right from the start Christine made us feel extremely welcomed - that Aloha feeling from start to finish. Accommodations were very comfortable and we especially enjoyed the photographs of local point of interests. Thanks Christine for all our great conversations, we had the best time with you.

When my husband became sick Christine set up a separe bed for me and did everything possible to help. She is terrific.

We had a lovely stay with Christine . Our accommodations were perfect . Bed was comfortable and our space ,ideal . Lots of windows for the tropical breeze and a beautiful private deck to enjoy coffee on. Looking forward to booking another stay at The Lava rock retreat .

Clean, relaxing, comfortable, and with an amazing host! Krissy made us feel at home with her warm and hospitable personality. The space was tucked away in a lovely neighborhood central to all our sightseeing points on the east side of the island.

Everything was as advertised. Beautiful setting & very clean & comfortable, and you can't beat the lush view off the upstairs balcony ! The owner of this property was a wonderful hostess. She had some great eating suggestions, and also baked us some tasteful treats. All in All: Excellent Place to Stay !

This a lovingly maintained property, and Christine is a gracious host. Youʻll marvel at the profusion of plants in her garden and in the rainforest that partly surrounds her property, all visible from a lovely lanai off this second-story suite! Comfortable and serene -- a genuine taste of Hawaii life far from the tourist resorts.

This is a special place owned and run by a special lady. The location is excellent with marvelous destinations nearby—if you can tear yourself away from the second floor deck ten feet away from the picture-perfect rain forest. Needless to add, it is highly recommended.

It was beautiful. Quiet and lots of space.
