Magical
This cottage was special. From the outdoor kitchen/living room to the comfy bed and the private outdoor toilet/shower. Experiencing off-grid living was awesome. Neil was a great host and explained everything to us and we had some great personal "talk story" sessions. One of the reasons for this short staycation was to look at properties and we are looking forward to hopefully being friends and neighbors with Neil. We definitely recommend his BnB.

It was as if we entered another world along the lines of Swiss Family Robinson. It was a delight to be in a private setting so connected to the rain forest with kitchen and living room open to nature. Neil had gone to great care in insuring that guests needs are taken care of.

Perfect Getaway
This property was everything we hoped it would be. Sitting outside, cooking outdoors with the fresh eggs Neil left us, and our groceries from the farmers market was amazing. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. If we ever find ourselves back on The Big Island we will be staying here again for sure.

This is a beautiful property! All the typical amenities with the novelty of a tiny house. Tricky getting to, especially at night, but Neil’s directions are very clear and the start was definitely worth the challenge. Would recommend.

A Perfect Getaway
We spent a week on Oahu for my mother-in-law's memorial service and then came to the Big Island for a second week to recover from the first week. Mission accomplished! The property was described perfectly. When planning this trip, were initially concerned that we might be too warm without A/C, but we were perfectly comfortable the whole time. We loved the outdoor shower and the open kitchen and dining area. Neil met us at the gate on a dark and rainy night when we arrived, and he was a perfect host. Listen to his advice to turn off of Volcano Road onto Kulani (instead of whatever Google suggests, as of 7/2024). Neil gave some great advice for a good beach (Carlsmith) and good dining (Hawaiian Style Cafe - we ate there three times and loved it). We hope to be back someday.

Rustic and comfy cabin
Just stayed one night but the cabin was very comfortable and well-appointed, surrounded by well-tended grounds. Neil was the perfect host, gave us four fresh eggs and a bunch of tangerines from the trees just outside the cabin. There are coqui frogs so if these disturb you, bring noise-cancelling ear buds. Mahalo Neil!

When we arrived, Neil was there to greet us, show us how to handle the gate and number of things for the property. He was very friendly, kind and understanding. He checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. This property had great space to walk a dog for a pet friendly VRBO. We had amble space to walk our pet and enjoy the view and lot. Once it was time to check out , check out was simple and straightforward We appreciated his communication and outgoing personality We look forward to potentially renting his property again

Perfect Quiet Getaway
Our stay was amazing & we didn’t want to leave! Neil was a great host who met us at check in and explained everything about the property, and even had some treats for us and the pups. Plush bedding, soft towels, & plenty of hot water, our stay was more luxurious than I thought it would be being in a tiny home that is off the grid. We enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen, playing cards at the table, & just being surrounded by nature. By the end of our stay, we & our dogs were feeling so relaxed, happy, & refreshed that we wished we could stay longer. We will definitely be booking this again & highly recommend it!

Perfect getaway
We take our pups on a staycations around the island and feel very lucky that Neil allows for pets as not many places do. It was so perfect to chill in the outside area with the pups knowing they were safely fenced in and loving life. It’s a beautiful property, super clean and had all we could ever ask for. We can’t wait to return! Mahalo for your hospitality Neil!

Amazing Property
The property has all of the comforts of home in a private area far away from the tourists. The chorus of frogs and exotic birds at night was relaxing. We were only there for one night but wished we had booked it for longer. Neil is the best host you could ask for. This was one of the highlights of our trip around the island. Most of the time a Vrbo is just a place to sleep for the night. Neil's tiny house was an great experience.

Cozy home in the jungle
Everything about my 2 week stay was perfect. It was a cozy place that connected me with the island in a way a hotel never could. I loved the outdoor kitchen/eating area. It was very well stocked. The bed was a comfortable nest of soft blankets and pillows piled on a wonderful mattress. The rain and frogs sang me to sleep each night. It was wonderful taking a warm shower outside each morning. I’ve never done that before and thoroughly enjoyed it. The lot was private and I felt safe- especially traveling alone. Neil was a perfect host and was as helpful as I needed. I highly recommend this property and will be suggesting it to my friends. Enjoy the island. Aloha!

Enchanting Frog cottage
Wonderful place. Very rustic almost like glamping but with a roof and a kitchen. Neil was a great host. We actually dubbed it as a Frog cottage. Off the grid but still close to supermarkets, stores and Volcano national park. Neil was so generous and accommodating. My fiancee and I loved our stay. A magical enchanting rustic place away from the crowd. Thank you Neil. We loved our stay. Stay true to yourself and take care!

Perfect Oasis
This tiny home is a perfect place to (re)connect with the lushness of the rain forest and a life both simple and comfortable. Short drives from Volcano and Hilo, and instead of traffic noise, choruses of birds by day and chirping frogs by night. A wonderfully attentive host, available when needed but there was nothing to need - every detail was thought of. A fabulous find that was a gem in my stay on the islands. Mahalo, Neil!

This place is a treat for the soul
We're greeted with a wa m welcome and a very detailed walk through that made us very confortable with using all the features of the home. The property is surrounded by tall, beautiful, wise trees and all you can hear is nature. The shower is nice and warm, and the bed is so comfy that you almost don't wanna leave it. Even with raining almost every day, the experience was still amazing and very relaxing. It feel like a retreat where you can unplug and reconnect with what really matters. Hubby and I love the experience and would highly recommend to anyone!
