Mary has created such a wonderful surrounding, full of calm and peacefully set against a picturesque backdrop. We were surrounded by nature, wildlife, and so many things to see and explore each day. Mary, herself, is amazing. We really enjoyed our time with her, visiting and learning about the community she's built and her fascinating life. And, she has the sweetest dog. We're so happy to have connected with her and glad to have made such a wonderful friend :) Our daughter loved the stay so much she didn't want to leave. We've moved around during our stay here on the Big Island staying at 3 different places, and she still says Mary's cottage stay is by far the best! If you visit Big Island, we'd highly recommend staying at Mary's beautiful retreat – It's a definitely must! ##### Kelley W. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RP S.

Enough kitchen to prep our own meals. Puzzles to build, comfy bed. What more do you need?! Definitely will go back ##### Laura W. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shauna L.
