My husband and I stayed in this beautiful little cottage for 4 days and we loved it. The air was so fresh and the night was so quiet. On sunny days in the morning the view from the lanai was spectacular. We just sit there watching the distant ocean for hours without feeling like doing anything else. The two cats really gave us a kind of company from fur friends. Especially lilo the gray. He likes to be pet and scratched so please do so when you see him. Thank you Jane!

This was a great location to explore the Northeast part of the island, and, if you should want to go west to Havi, Waimea or on to Waikaloa , it is the shortest distance from here to there from the east side. The house is....oddly cool. It is an interior "box" with all the stuff you need, surrounded on 2 sides by a glass enclosed "sun space", complete with seating, a great eating nook and an extra bed. The other two sides are open to a regular veranda on the long side and a great outdoor shower on the short side. Inside is a living room, a wonderfully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and oven, a small inside bedroom with a great bed (I did notice the bed comment below, I think the complaint might have more to do with the possibility that the porch might be a bit off kilter.....but I come from a land of permafrost so....didn't bother me) but, as it was cool we chose to sleep inside and no complaints there and....that bed is closer to the bathroom. Good wifi, all the basics, washer, drier, it is off grid so we tried to take care with power consumption. Could have done two couples no problem! Jane was great, responded quickly to questions and made sure we got there OK (this place is really in the hills with not much around!). Check out the "donuts" at Tex drive in and there is a wonderful italian spot in Honokaa to check out. A must do is the tour of Waipopo valley.

Wonderful place! Plenty if privacy, can get cold when there isn't a lot of sunshine so, one needs to have warm clothing.
Beautiful night skies, yummy fruit basket, outdoor shower (if so inclined)!
Our only complaint was with the bed on the porch. It is uneven & that made for difficult sleeping. We didn't try the inside bed, but it looked ok.
Great suggestions of what to do on that beautiful Island!
Thanks!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I was baffled by the comment about the bed. I think it may have been slightly to one side of the frame. I do apologize. Also it is a memory foam mattress and have a different feel. I did adjust it, test it and used a long level and it is in great shape. Thanks!

The other two reviews cannot be topped and yet I will attempt to do so. We are still here with our family and it has turned out to be the most pleasant Hawaiian experience I have had. The beauty and peacefulness of this place was what the doctor ordered for us travelers from the frozen north in Alaska! I hope to come and stay here again if it's still available. Jane, you are awesome and thank you for making our stay so nice! There is a nice vanilla farm with it's store and classroom is not far from the driveway entrance. The gift shop is reasonably priced for all things vanilla:) There is one concern I have for parents with active young children. There are two large pieces of plate glass in the backyard that are against the house. It was used to help grow tomatoes. the glass is thick but it may require some extra monitoring of your children to make sure they stay clear of them if they make you a little nervous. Otherwise, the house is very nice for a kinds of families:)

I stayed 5 days in this cottage around Xmas. Loved the view, the peace and quiet atmosphere. Jane was a pleasant, knowledgeable and effective host, very quick to help. The cottage runs on solar energy, and as such, at times, the solar battery may run low, which is what happened to me on Xmas day. Jane responded quickly to my call, came to the cottage and was able to get the problem fixed in no time. She even had a plan B just in case. Even though Jane doesn't live on site, she was always readily available. And any opportunity is great to get to know Jane who is a wealth of information when it comes to the Big Island.

We stayed in this delightful home for a week while we enjoyed the wonders of the "other side" of the Big Island.
This is a lovely country home complete with nice furniture, new linens and towels and a well equipped kitchen.
The house is only a few years old and is designed to blend with the vast outdoors. We spent hours on the glassed-in lanai overlooking the fields and the ocean beyond. At night the moon and stars light up the sky, a spectacular sight! The house is ideally located on a very quiet country lane. The rural roads leading to the house are all very scenic with views of pasturelands, forests and a variety of birds. We enjoyed walking along the roads, a pleasant way to enjoy the countryside. There was very little traffic.
This was a very different experience than the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas on the west side of the island. However, when we wanted to visit that side it wasn't very far away. The highway leads directly to the Kohala Coast and the best swimming beaches in Hawaii. You pass by the towns of Honokaa and Waimea on the way. Honokaa is conveniently close to Paauilo and has a good grocery store. Waimea has good restaurants, nice shops, and also grocery stores.
The Hamakua Coast from beautiful Waipio Valley south to Hilo offers some of the best tropical scenery in all of Hawaii with majestic ocean views, historic sites, waterfalls, and botanical gardens. HIlo is very historic with a wonderful "old town" and worthwhile museums. We didn't venture beyond Hilo, but the highway continues on to the volcano, thirty some miles beyond Hilo, an easy day trip.. All of our sight seeing destinations were comfortable driving distances from Pauillo. There was so much to enjoy and we didn't begin to see everything. We hope to come back soon.
