Centrally located to most fabulous Big Island attractions, world renowned beaches, mountain biking, world class golfing, star-gazing with astronomers atop majestic Mauna Kea, halfway to Hilo, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath house with full kitchen provides affordable accommodation for the adventure traveler.
Situated at a cool 2700' elevation in the saddle between Mauna Kea and the Kohala mountains, amid the Historic Parker Ranch, this cute downstairs duplex with separate 2 car garage for your use, sleeps 2-4 comfortably, private and quiet in a rural, working class neighborhood (no parties or loud noise please). Great for couples, friends, families, perfect for neighbor island or mainland kamaaina coming home to Big Island for family, sporting or other special events. If you would like to see the whole island, this a great location for you.
We are located about 20-30 minutes from the Kohala Coast beaches and resorts, an hour from both Hilo and Kona towns. The weather in this part of the island is similar to New Zealand in that it ranges from blustery tradewinds and rain to Idyllic, warm and sunny, with night time temperatures sometimes dipping into the 50's in the winter months. The surrounding landscape is lush, pastoral rolling hills and fields, complete with horses, cows and sheep.
The property is a quarter acre, 3 bedroom duplex, 2 bedroom/ one bath house with a 2 car garage for guests downstairs, separate upstairs apartment in the back, owners on site, available to help out with any questions you may have, but very private and quiet. We take care of cleaning and maintenance, thus keeping prices most affordable.
The house is 900 square feet, tucked away behind the front garage, large yard, with a king bed in the master bedroom, two twin beds in the second bedroom, full kitchen for dining in after a fun day adventuring, 5 miles from Kamuela town featuring a full range of culinary delights from finest dining to local deli style and everything in between, local produce from the farmers'markets, Zumba and fitness centers, yoga available for those in mind of a healthy vacation experience.
Our neighborhood is small, working class, kid friendly so we just ask for your respect and careful driving.
Should you have any questions regarding activities, sights to see, just ask, call or email. We've been living and playing here on the Big Island for 30 years, love it and happy to share any information to enhance your vacation experience.

This was our second stay with Gemma and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The property was clean, comfortable, and a convenient location from town and our family. We will definitely keep Gemma in mind if we have need of a last minute or planned vacation stay when visiting family in the area. Thank you, Gemma!

Clean and comfortable, nice cats, nice yard, lots of orchids. It's not their fault it rained for three days, but that's what keeps it so green. Luckily we were able to go down to the beaches every day to get out of the rain; saw plenty of waves and whales. We've stayed there before and would again.

A very nicely maintained small guesthouse attached to owner’s home. A garage and washer/dryer was also available for our use, along with some beach toys.
This was a nice location between Hilo and Kona away from hotel and resort traffic, within easy drives to all of the attractions. Overall a lovely place to stay!

Rural gem outside Waimea. Print directions prior to driving to property. I lost signal and did not have a connection until Wifi signal at the bungalow.
Property was clean and had comforts of home. Perfect location when visiting north west side of the island.
Beautiful part of the island with many things to do in Waimea, Honokaa, Waipio, and Hawi.
Plan for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

This place was a great place for my mother, brother and me to stay. It was in the middle of two places we needed to go. Stores close by. Very clean and comfortable. Contact with the owners was great. We felt very welcome.
