Enjoy the cool setting of Kamuela. Located in the famed hub of Parker Ranch the beloved central point of verdant cattle country rich in Island history. Located on one of the hillsides above Kamuela town, this Chateau cottage sits near the top of the hill featuring unique architectural design with a cozy deck which facilitates indoor/outdoor living. Stargazing is Prime on a clear night.
Please be advised that some of the older reviews on this site were based on the main house of the property which was operated as a vacation rental from 2015 - 2020. The current Captain's Quarters rental is the studio/cottage on the property as shown in photos. We invite you to stay at our lovely cottage which we trust you will thoroughly enjoy.

This was a great cottage tucked away in the Waimea hill sides. Quiet friendly neighborhood I would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of a 2 week vacation over on Kauai. The property is well maintained and very clean. There are awesome views from the deck and from inside. We were very pleased with this property and the location. Having been to the Big Island a few other times, we have always loved Waimea and have talked about staying here - we're glad we chose this particular property! The location is perfect, allowing for a quick drive to town, a scenic drive to Hawi on Kohala Mountain Road or a 20 minute drive down to Hapuna Beach.

My stay here was just perfect. I was able to get in a lot of quiet time, which is what I wanted, but town was only a 4 minute drive away, the beach only 20! It was the best of both worlds. The place was clean, the views beautiful, and the owner was super nice. Some of you will read about the driveway and it's steepness. Don't let it intimidate you! It's easy to manage (and I'm a city driver from the flat lands!) but I do recommend a car or jeep with some road clearance to avoid any issues. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet get away!

We spent 2 beautiful nights in this hilltop cottage that revealed commanding views of Mauna Kea and the ocean. Inside was equally spectacular with unique architecture, lovely artwork, wonderful shelves with great books, well-stocked kitchen, comfy bed and a nice deck for dining. Very clean with lots of attention to details that made our stay enjoyable. Mahalo!

We stayed for 8 nights while visiting family here. This rental is perfect for (2) people and has everything you need. Communication with Jay was great. The unit was very clean and cozy. Sitting outside on the deck was very enjoyable with the great view and bird watching.
A table for two inside would be a nice option in case of bad weather.
The steps leading up to the door might be a concern if you have mobility issues. The driveway (as many have mentioned) is steep. A SUV would be a good choice if available. We had no issues while there.
We will return to Waimea again and stay here if available as this unit and Jay accommodated all our needs.

We stayed in this property for 15 days and it was one of the best places we’ve stayed in during a vacation. The view is amazing and the place feels very cozy and homey. We will definitely stay here again in the future and we highly recommend it for people who like private settings.

The cabin was in a great location and was beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning, having our coffee, birdwatching, and enjoying the view.

This property is upcountry, in Kamuela. It was very breezy and peaceful. This studio loft was very comfortable. Leaving the doors open on either side made it perfect for a good nights rest. It felt as though we were sleeping in a cozy treehouse. Nature all around and wonderful views from high up in the trees. My Husband and I found it a respite from hectic day to day life, and it felt private and secluded. We enjoyed the use of the kitchenette and had several meals together there. I would welcome the thought of visiting there again. We were truly sorry to leave.

Very peaceful, private and quiet. Jay was accessible for all our needs. While simultaneously, invisible, allowing the feeling of home.

Excellent place on Waimea, very quiet, private and super clean. The house is on a mountain and it has great view of the Mauna Kea volcano and the Pacific shore. Air is cooler than at the beach side which makes a great bonus. The location is very close to the shore the drive is about 15 minutes to the closest beach. The host is wonderful to talk to, he very kindly let us do a late checkout. The driveway is easy to drive up to the house by anyone, even beginner drivers, just when you enter the driveway (or when you exit it) enter at an angle, doing so only one wheel starts to go up and the car will easily and smoothly transition to the grade of the driveway. So turn the car slightly before you reach the driveway. Do not do a large turn on the street and enter the driveway strait in with both front wheels at the same time. We had a hatchback (Kia soul) and never had an issue going up or down many times a day for a week.
Thank you!

This was a lovely home, well-designed and full of creative and beautiful details! Communication was clear, house rules were based on common-sense courtesy, and we enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely book this place again. The driveway is steep, which was daunting the first time, but it makes sense for the location. We had enough parking and turn around space at the top which was helpful.
