Lisa was a fantastic host, told us all about the history of the coffee plantation and her family's history there. She explained and detailed the process of roasting and bagging coffee. She made an effort and a point to guide us to wonderful places to eat and go in the area. Gounds were beautifully landscape and manicured with tropical plants and Lisa pointed out a lot of them to us. Our accommodations we're very comfortable with tasteful art and the whole experience really felt like we were in a old Hawaiian home which is what we were after, very restful. Next time we're in the Kona area we will come back and stay with Lisa it was a great experience!

Beautiful Big Island stay

We loved our stay at Lisa’s. The grounds are amazing. We came from Waikiki to here and everything is so much more relaxed. Tucked away but still a short drive to restaurants and shops in Kona. Perfect base for us to explore the Kona area and west side of Big Island. Lisa was a lovely host, making us feel really at home. Thanks again for our stay!
