It is perched on the side of a hill overlooking a genuine, flowing waterfall. The bank on the other side of the river is nothing but green tropical plants - we felt like we were in a treehouse. The flowing waterfall provides a lovely background for sleeping, meals and porch sitting.

And lovely outdoor living area near the creek and falls. The only thing that may be issues for some families is that all the bedrooms are upstairs. Hauling suitcases up may be problematic for some?

Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location, beautiful waterfall We enjoyed our stay at this spacious property, which was conveniently located a short drive away from downtown, beaches, botanical gardens, and ziplining. Beds were super comfortable! Property manager was extremely responsive to any needs. Listing states AC however only 1 room actually has a window unit. Regardless, there were fans in every room and windows could be opened, so we were comfortable. ##### Joanne Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ralph H. Nov 23, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location, property needs some work The location on the river is jaw droppingly good. It's better than most state overlooks in Hawaii. The house itself needs some improvement though. My wife had to vacuum the house on arrival. Parts of it are really showing their age. The windows in particular. That said, we did enjoy the property. The owners have equipped it well, with everything you need. ##### Ralph H.

Well equipped house. Lovely decor. Incredibly prompt and attentive service when we had a small plumbing issue. The sounds of the jungle and waterfall are your own relaxation soundtrack. And don't mention the beautiful geckos. Highly recommend it! ##### Andrew E. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura B. Nov 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved It!! This house was absolutely perfect. We wish we had stayed here and in Hilo all week. Well stocked and implemented for all kinds of activities. Close to airport, shopping, beach. Lovely breeze through the house, soothing waterfall and coqui frogs put us right to sleep at night. The owner communicates beautifully and is accomodating. When we come back we will try to stay here again! Mahalo! ##### Laura B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth B. Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent! What a location! And what a house! Very large and very very well equipped. The location is stunning, private and yet close enough to Hilo to be convenient. I have only two small negatives. Despite otherwise being the most well equipped house (in terms of useful things, from towels, to kitchen gear, BQ, etc.) I've ever stayed in, they don't have non-slip mats in the showers and bath. I hope they rectify this in the future.And perhaps important to some people, like just about every home in Hilo, there is a faint smell of mold. This is an Hawaii thing and very hard to get rid of entirely, but if you're not used to Hawaii, you might find this disconcerting. On the other hand - no bugs!We would stay there again. Heck, if I had the money, I'd buy the place! ##### Kenneth B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin P. Jan 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Retreat Overlooking Private Waterfall Our family of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hilo for New Year's week. Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots are nearby because it’s the same river flowing through the backyard Sitting on the lanai gave us a private version of those attractions. The secluded spot allowed us to get to other areas of the Big Island, such as Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea, fairly quickly while avoiding the hustle and bustle of a large resort. We were also able to walk into Hilotown within 25 minutes, which made it extremely convenient to grab meals or a shave ice. The only noise at night is the sound of Coqui frogs, which is a great alternative to the urban noises such as car alarms and garbage trucks that typically fill my home. The garage also offered beach towels and coolers, which were helpful when we headed over to the heated pools at Isaac Hale park. We look forward to returning soon. ##### Justin P.
