Beautiful with unbelievable views
This beautiful lodge is undoubtedly one of the best places to stay. It is spotless and has absolutely everything you need to make meals. It is rustic, yet modern, the best of both worlds. I'd stay here for morning coffee and the sunsets from the front porch alone.

The best place to stay on the big island!
This is the best place to stay on the big island. Great view, great vibes, great host. Away from the crowds but not too far from all the beaches and restaurants. We’ve stayed here two years in a row and plan on coming back next year.

The property and house were amazing. We have stayed at homes around the world and this one was just perfect. The views were amazing and the mini farm with the cutest goats and miniature horse were a great bonus.

Inspiring views in every direction.
Seven days at a wonderful place overlooking the Pacific, with Maui in the distance. We relaxed on the porch, took in many of the “must sees” in the North Kohala area. So much to see and Chris’ place is a great center point. We’d go back in an instant.

The pictures on the listing do not do justice to the actual accommodations and location. The views are spectacular, the grounds are meticulously maintained, and the house is clean, well decorated and the beds are super comfortable! I highly recommend this property to anyone who visits the big islaand!

We could not be happier with our stay. The property is beautiful and was the perfect way to disconnect. We enjoyed the stunning ocean views as well as the goats and horses we were able to pet each day. I cannot recommend this property enough and hope to be back soon!

This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. So quiet and secluded. Views were just breathtaking. The host, Chris, was out every day taking care of the huge grassy lot and everything was so well manicured. Hope to go back in the near future and take our grown kids. Thank you Chris!!!

Magical
This property was everything and more. I wasn't sure if we were in Montana or Hawaii ! The views from the deck were amazing. The animals and owner on the property a real bonus. We barbecued in the evening and sat on the porch relaxing for many hours. Everything was fantastic. We will be back. Thank you so much for an amazing stay .

Solitude
Beautiful home and surroundings. Absolutely peaceful. No traffic, leaf blowers, loud neighbors, barking dogs. Sitting on the porch watching the sunset and the owners cool animals. Great place to relax and get some rest. Plenty to do close by. One of the best vrbo’s we have stayed in. Even comes with a decent guitar and a very nice bass ukulele. Thanks to the owners for making this availability.

A refreshing time with nature!
We enjoyed our stay at Kohala Lodge while there on a business trip. The grounds are beautiful and I adored feeding Pua the Shetland Pony & Nova the spotted horse as well as the goats! The rustic ambiance of the lodge combined with the dense trees & green surroundings had me begin to relax my city mind & feel close to nature. I felt a real positive energy vibration while there & I hope to get to visit again! Thank you Chris Wej for your kind welcome✨

A healing homestead
This house and location was otherworldly. The feeling of a 100-year-old homestead, with all modern amenities, in a serene setting with incredible views of the Pacific and Maui. We could’ve spent the entire time on the huge front porch. And we appreciated Chris leaving us feed to give to the resident horses and goats. The location also gave us great access to everything up and down the northern Kohala coast. We’d absolutely stay again. Mahalo!

A timbered lodge
The lodge was clean and everything was functional. The structure was constructed with sturdy timbers and a open design which made it feel large. We were there 2 weeks in February for cycling and it was windy with periodic showers.

MAGICAL IN HAWI BIG ISLAND KOHALA LODGE
Do not look any further, I have stayed in many short term rentals and this is by far the best place to stay on the Big Island. The Kohala Lodge is so charming. A big bonus is viewing the animals at the Lodge and meeting Chris himself. If you want to get a sense of The Big Island, look no further. This place is SO SPECIAL, you will not want to leave. Book Now, before your dates are gone! Hopefully you can stay at this amazing place. There is nothing else like it on the Big Island!

Front porch views that invite one to never leave
Don’t hesitate. Book your trip if you want a special experience. Stay in a beautifully curated craftsman home with a front porch that overlooks the beauty of the grounds and the ocean. Prepare meals from local fish and produce in a well-stocked kitchen so that you can choose to never leave and eat on that same front porch. Get a taste of what it might be like to actually live on Hawaii. There are views from every room in the house, the beds are comfortable, the fire in the fireplace was welcome on cold evenings, and the host welcomed us with stories and great hospitality. We are ready to book our return visit.

If tranquility was a place…
There’s no photo or glowing 5 star review that can begin to illustrate the irenic “cabin in the tree line” Chis and Carol have created. My wife and I chose to spend second part of our honeymoon on the Big Island, and were lucky enough to stumble upon the Kohala Lodge while researching our accommodations. This is a truly one of a kind, special place. The thoughtfulness and purpose it was designed, built, and furnished with is evident within the first few moments on the property. If there’s availability at the lodge during the dates you’re looking to travel to the Big Island, I would strongly consider discovering the magic of this place for yourself.
