We traveled to Kona for our daughter’s wedding. The property met our needs perfectly and Lisa was a fabulous host. We loved the space where we could wonder and explore.

A rare chance to stay in one of the few remaining truly historic houses on the island, with a fascinating history and life of its own. This is the place for you if you need several bedrooms/bathrooms and LOVE old houses. Not fancy, but funky and unique. A most fascinating collection of artifacts and art, many of them created by the ancestors of the family that have owned this home forever. Host Lisa could not be nicer, more helpful or charming. The perfect elevation keeps the home a very pleasant temperature, the grounds are gorgeous, and of course, the views from the many lanais are fab.

You really have to stay at Lisa’s house to fully appreciate the views, the sounds, the incredible amount of antiques and artwork and the 7 acres of land. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed.

We had three generations of my family in for a 10 day vacation. Was perfect for all of us. Thanks to Lisa for a truly memorable stay. Very much hope to come back one day.

Loved our stay so much especially all the outdoor spaces where family can hang out. The property has lots of fruit trees and Lisa was generous in allowing us to help ourselves to them. We made homemade lemonades, enjoyed fresh papayas, fresh squash and star fruits. We can’t wait to come back.

We had such an amazing time at the coffee farm. Could not imagine a better place for our family. Beautiful view, lovely old home, amply supplied with everything needed. This house feels like you are walking into a piece of history. The kids had so much fun in the huge yard playing badminton and basketball. Hoping that someday we can all meet up at this beautiful house again.

The view of the Kailua Kona area from 1200 ft above it coupled with its close proximity make it a perfect place for any activities in or near Kona. Sited on an old coffee plantation, the coffee produced on site is amazing. The variety of foliage along with the sounds of nature make it a wonder world for small and big children alike.

Our family loved staying here, it was an incredible rustic country home on the hill packed full of interesting art and character, with stunning views to match. The coffee was top notch as well and made every morning that much better, and Lisa was very gracious and happy to show and talk about the operation. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, more so than any other vacation rental we have seen. All the comforts of home and more.

We had such an amazing stay and host Lisa was awesome. First of all, this house - an former plantation property - is such an iconic representation of old Hawaii without feeling like an ‘old’ rundown property. On the contrary, from the large spacious and well equipped kitchen to the indoor/outdoor lanai to the large grass area with 180 degeee views of the ocean, there was so much to live about the property. We were 2 families totaling 10 people and had plenty of space (we rented the cottage as well). The kitchen was the regular gathering spot with a nice size table surrounded by large screened windows, a window seat, bar stools and plenty of counter space to divide and conquer the evening meal prep. By day, we either enjoyed the expansive property or made the 10 min ride down to town or one of the beach spots. Lisa has fully outfitted the property with chairs, towels. Boogie and surf boards, snorkel gear… even water shoes in a variety of sizes. In the evenings it was back to the kitchen, followed by dinner in the dining room that accommodated all 10 of us very spaciouly, followed by games on the Lanai. And, wherever we went, we were able to enjoy music thru the built in speaker system. The bedrooms provided a lot of options. I was a fan of the ocean facing room on the main level with private bath and a wall of windows. Our friends took the upstairs master which has several adjacent areas for kids and it’s own private bath. The other main level bedroom has a peaceful view of the garden and another private bath. The last bedroom is downstairs adjacent to a TV/game room. It’s a very cool room lined with plantation doors to the garden. Just be aware that this room does have stair access from the outdoor lanai which does not close off and no bathroom on that level. It worked great for our group with the two kids that used it sharing the master bath, but you do need to be prepared. The bed does have a mosquito net around it so the kids did not have any radical bug encounters. Last was just the old Hawaii charm, from the decor, to the book lined walls (lots of great things to read), to the fruit trees and the chickens roaming the property. We loved our time here and think you will too!
