"Romantic and relaxing. We will be back during our next visit to the big island Most cozy peaceful sanctuary ever. The bananas were the best I've had and there forest grounds kept giving little treats including orchids in tree trunks and stone frogs that looked convincing under glow of a flashlight. I don't want to go back to reality"

"This beautiful bed and breakfast was even more wonderful then we imagined it was going to be! We love the feeling of being in the open Rain forest. We were thrilled to be removed from all electronics (w/exception to the relaxing music of the CDs) and loved being able to relax in nature. We hope to be able to visit again in the future. The outdoor shower tub was so enjoyable at the end of the day. We wish we could take it with us. This was the perfect vacation at a much needed time for us! Thank you! We wish we could stay longer."

"We were imagining many conversations between the two of you to the effect: "What have we forgotten? What more can we do to make our guests happy and comfortable and to feel at home-not on holiday-at home." And then you did it all!! Our entire experience of you as hosts and of our stay here is: meticulous, generous, and loving. When we take our leave, we carry this place, this time, and you in our hearts."

It rained frequently, but the gentle patter of the rain was a relaxing cadence; a soothing backdrop for extended soaks in the outdoor tub. Inside the confines of this place we felt ourselves becoming more thoughtful and deliberate, peaceful and aware."

"Mahalo for an amazing 2-night stay. I can't think of a more tranquil place. We loved waking up to the sound of the rain, and soaking in the tub and listening to the birds in the forest. What a perfect place to come "home" to after a day of exploring the wonders of the volcano, and what a perfect place to fall asleep next to my love."
-Alyssa and Thomas, Oakland, California

"As we said yesterday, we feel as though you plucked this place right outta our dreams. How you managed to make this place absolutely perfect, we'll never know. ...We're stunned. ...We'd like to replicate the entire thing and plunk it on top of our rented brownstone, but we'd still have to fly 13 hours to see the lava. Mahalo."
-Mike and Jessica Elvin, Brooklyn, NY
