Amazing VIEWS, Spacious, Farmstead Living, Hosts with Aloha

Always In Season Farmstead Suite sits in a park-like setting with majestic views. This Eco-friendly upcountry property will take your breath away. Spacious, Country Living, Hosts with Aloha.

We are upcountry, so the climate is delightful. There is so much privacy that it feels like you are on thousands of acres.

Executive Suite for the price of a studio. Enjoy the spirit of Aloha in this private setting with a fruit orchard and gorgeous ornamental and edible gardens accompanied by a magnificent view of the ocean and the nearby Island of Maui.

The property is located eight minutes from Hawi Town, a quaint artist village offering many Eco-activities, great hiking, restaurants, and live entertainment. We are close to excellent snorkeling, swimming, and the best beaches and hiking.

There are only two units on the property. Therefore, you have privacy and quiet. The Zen Pond adds a centerpiece to the diverse landscape. Enjoy a majestic view from your bedroom, lush gardens, and rolling hills down to the sea. At night, enjoy the heavenly skies.

Accommodations include an oversized bedroom, a king bed, and a lovely private bathroom. We converted our double garage into a spacious, equipped kitchenette and living and dining area. Here you will find a library of various books and games. The spacious, 500 sq feet furnished area offers a beautiful garden view when the doors are open. The laundry room for the property is in this area. There is also a delightful courtyard and BBQ area where you can dine outside.

During your stay, you are also invited to harvest whatever you can eat from our orchards and gardens.

We live on the property, but you will have complete privacy and access to us if you need anything. We have one rule at Always In Season; if you need anything, just ask.

At Always in Season, our home is powered by the sun. Forest, pastures, and ranch land surround us, with a few other county homes in sight. We compost, recycle and are avid gardeners.

We are your hosts, Donna and Kevin, and we have years of experience on the Island. We enjoy sharing the special places we have discovered here and assisting you in any way we can to help you have a memorable vacation on the magnificent Big Island. We can arrange for a message in your room and guide you to other health practitioners.


Kevin and I have been professional chefs and bakers since 1982. We know how to prepare delightful meals to your specifications and love to teach others what we have learned. We also offer Culinary Classes with a Farm-to-Table Meal and Culinary Healing Arts Retreats. Here are the options we can provide during your stay.

Option: A magnificent place for an intimate wedding or small celebration with a catered meal. Call us for details.

We stayed with Donna and her husband and the property is beautiful. They were very welcoming and helpful. We weren’t around much because we were driving around the island, but they have been there for years and they know a bunch of cool spots to go to. Work 10/10 recommend and will be back in the future!

Gorgeous property, warm hosts
This part of the Big Island turned out to be my favorite. It's uncrowded, laid back, cooler than the rest of the island, and oh so beautiful. The hosts were warm and friendlly and gave me amazing advice on what to do. The rooms were filled with Donna's gorgeous photography. This was a special and unforgettable stay.

If the weather isn't ideal, not a great base
When planning our stay, I didn't realize the main living area is a converted garage with the sleeping and bathroom areas separate (you need to go outside to go between). The kitchen has a full fridge and a good number of appliances but is just a single counter without a stove in a relatively dark room. To get good light you need the garage door open which isn't particularly feasible when it's stormy and is far from private as it's opens onto the main driveway. The weather was very stormy while we were there so we spent each day driving to other parts of the island and only returning at night as there wasn't a nice place to relax if you couldn't relax outdoors. The farm property is lovely with nice views and lots of fresh fruit. The owners are friendly and will stop by each day to check on you and recommend activities.

Our new little slice of heaven on the North end of the Big Island! Kevin and Donna are gracious hosts, knowledgable of all things local and pleasant to be around. The grounds are an extra bonus for us as we appreciate the fauna, landscape and new birds to identify! The orange blossom fragrance on the property was epic and surreal. We will be back again and again.

Paradise found!
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The grounds are beautiful, and we loved walking around them. The entry says it all as you drive in through a lush forest. We felt at-home, and our hosts were very personable, and made us feel so welcome, along with their sweet dogs and cat! Be aware that that the kitchen and laundry room are in the garage with a working garage door. Fairly well stocked, but not for cooking on a true stove/oven. But that's fine as long as you don't need them, and you can use the grill, though we preferred eating out in the two nearby towns for lunch or dinner. Such a sweet place to call home in between snorkeling, hiking, and exploring this beautiful area.

A literal paradise
5-stars, can't wait to come back, we didn't want to leave. Kevin and Donna are gracious hosts with an abundance of aloha. The space is exceptionally comfortable and well-appointed with every small touch and detail considered to provide top notch hospitality. Beautiful views of the ocean and Maui, close to charming Hawi town, situated on the enchanting Kohala coast, fruit trees and birdsong.... The property is a slice of heaven in a magical part of the big island, this wonderful gem simply can't be captured in words or pictures.
