Official website. When Granma was 95, we had to move her in with us to take care of her. This left her little panabode cabin (900 square feet with a 500 square-foot wrap-around lanai) vacant. Lucky you . . . you can spend your Hawaiian vacation in this beautiful, quiet, and centrally located cabin which has just about everything.
There is a complete kitchen, a bath with tub and shower, a washer/dryer, a living/dining room, and a cable TV . There is also a big gas barbecue, and birds for a morning alarm clock. We even left all the little nick knacks in place to make this is truly a 'home-away-from-home'.
The home is backed by a herb farm and macadamia nut orchard. It is surrounded by mac nuts, lychee, and mango, avocado, and citrus trees. If anything is in season during your stay, you are welcome to enjoy it.
The big island of Hawaii is almost 200 miles around.
As you tour the island and along the Kona Coast you can see cattle ranches, rain forests, lava fields, volcanoes, snowcapped mountains in the winter, beaches, and spectacular valleys and waterfalls.
Our cabin is located in one of the most temperate places on earth. We have over 300 excellent days a year. All of our prior guests have raved about their stay, and have vowed to come back. The Big Island has something for everyone.

Property with stunning views. Harry struck a good balance of being on the property and available to help as well as giving us our privacy.
We absolutely loved coming back to the property at the end of each day and watching the sunset. The temperatures were lovely at the elevation. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Harry helped us adjust our stay due to last minute vacation changes, he was great! Generous host who is clearly an honest man who cares about his guests. Thanks Harry.
If we find our way back to your island we will most certainly be reaching out to you.

My sister and I stayed for nearly one week; all amenities were fantastic and the location was perfect for activities in and around Kailua-Kona and the Kohala Coastline. The Ohana was neat and clean and had everything one would need during a trip to the Big Island. Enjoy the taste of older Hawaii at its finest. Mahalo, Harry!

I have rent 3 different vacation cabins in Hawaii, one in Oahu, one in Maui and this one in Big Island. All of them are 5 stars, but Granma's Cabin is the best among them. Harry is very nice and helpful, and it felt like we were really at home. I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Big Island in the future.

This cabin is located in a very nice neighborhood. Plenty of space inside, great ocean view from the deck. Lots of beach items available for guests.
Harry, the owner, is very responsive. The tour he gave at the beginning of our stay was very helpful.
We would gladly stay here again.

What a fantastic place and great host! We needed a low-key place for a girls' long weekend to rest and recharge. Harry, our host, was in communication before our arrival and even let us know the property was ready early! When we arrived, he was there to greet us. He showed us around the property and shared all the details and resources. It felt like we were at home, literally. Being in a quiet neighborhood was so essential for us to. Everything was so clean. We enjoyed the deck as this was a time to relax and unwind. So many at-home conveniences too! We will be back.

I think this our 6th stay with Harry'n'Deb at Granma's cabin. The cottage was perfect for us in all aspects from the lanai, bed comfort, linens, cooking utensils/supplies, to temperatures (daytime and night). The upgraded wifi allowed for even better coverage in all parts of the cabin. Although I did not use them, the closet was filled with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkels, fins, water socks, sand toys, umbrellas and boogey boards.
The property provided lots of privacy. We appreciated all the beautiful foliage and flowers which attracted gorgeious finches, doves and cardinals. There were occasional visits Kalij pheasants and an egret. The geckos were very numerous and entertaining.
We definitely benefited from the location giving us easy access to highways leading all over the island, and roads accessing Costco and downtown Kona.
We hiked the Makaula O'oma trail and visited two historic sites (both worth visiting) - Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic site and Pu'uhonau o Hanaunau, Historical Park.
Harry and Deb are wonderful hosts and make Granma's cabin a home away from home for us - Thank you Harry and Deb! See you next year!

My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing six day vacation in "Granma's Cabin." Our host, Harry, did a great job making us feel welcome and setting us up for an excellent stay: he met us when we arrived and toured us all around the cabin to show us how things worked and where things were kept. (This saved us a lot of time rifling through drawers later in the trip.) After that, though, we had the place totally to ourselves -- it felt very private!
The cabin has everything you'll need for a relaxing vacation, from a fully stocked kitchen (including some pantry staples) to spare snorkels and fins. Harry had recently roasted some macadamia nuts from the tree on his property, and showed us how to use the nut opener when we arrived -- an unexpected and delightful amenity! (He also gave us a couple of amazing avocados to get our trip off to a great start.) We loved being able to cook for ourselves and relax at our home-away-from-home when we weren't exploring the forests and beaches of the Big Island.
The location is excellent, convenient to the airport and not far from the main town of Kailua-Kona. The cabin is also just a few minutes down the road from the Matsuyama Food Mart, which has an affordable and tasty deli/restaurant in addition to stocking all the grocery essentials you might need.
We had a wonderful time and hope to return to Granma's Cabin the next time we are on the Big Island. Thanks for a great stay!

Harry is very accommodating delivering fresh avocados and papayas to your deck. The cabin has everything you need and more. Very spacious with a large wrap around deck. Convenient cooler location on the hill. Quick and easy to get to many sites.
Highly recommend for a peaceful time in paradise!
