We loved our visit to the Big Island and staying at the Cozy Cottage. The setting was lovely, Peggy was an excellent host, and the location provided easy access to town. We highly recommend staying at the cozy cottage.

A really special place in Kohala
The setting was so beautiful. A lush, expansive, grassy lawn surrounded by gorgeous tropical trees and shrubs, a few ducks and hens roaming peacefully around the grounds. Very quiet, private, and peaceful. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook a light meal or to just sit and relax. Peggy and Ken were wonderful hosts, checking in from time to time to see if they could help us in any way. We'll certainly be back.

Lovely property! Peggy was so sweet and left me some tea and bruschetta in the the room and gave a quick your. I ended up getting sick but it was a great place to recover. They were very responsive and helpful. I enjoyed hanging out in the hammock, the amazing vegetation and the sweet animals! And the grocery store is so very close! Loved my stay here!

Kapua Gulch Farms
This was much more than a residential rental and far beyond my expectations. It was an experience. In addition to a well appointed unit ideally suited to a single traveler or a couple was a beautiful, lush, well kept and managed country farm. Hens with little chicks scurrying across an expansive lawn, an occasional duck joining in, and a botanical depth hard to describe were all your view from the kitchen table. Stroll the grounds farther to view goats and the sheep. The on-site host was welcoming and eager to share in the workings of the operation. The property was very easy to find, and also convenient to local stores, shops restaurants, and historical sites. I was sad to leave and would return in a heartbeat. Treat your self to this one.

Wonderful cottage on farm nearby historic sites. Nearby snorkeling at Mokukona and Spencer. Nice swimming and hanging out at Spencer and Hapuna. Not for everyone if you aren't looking for a quiet farm setting. It's home to world's sweetest dog, Sushi. Overall, 5 stars.

Good vibes and beautiful surroundings
We had such a wonderful stay! Peggy and Ken are warm, kind, good spirited people. Peggy surprised us with fresh Starfruit, avocados, apple bananas, and lilikoi. We never had Starfruit before and we were hooked, ate it everyday for breakfast. Their property is stunning and well maintained. We took a tour and met the goats, sheep, and cows. My daughter fell in love with Suishi, their sweet and friendly dog. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your happy place with us.

Our favorite stay on the Big Island!
We loved staying here! First of all, Peggy and Ken are incredibly warm and welcoming and such genuinely nice people. Peggy left us many snacks and other treats, and the unit is very private and feels like your own tiny cottage. The bedding and towels were older but cotton, and we were finally able to be comfortable (other places had polyester sheets that ran hot)! The location was excellent although very tricky to find and it's easy to miss the turnoff. We would definitely stay here again!

Very friendly and accommodating hosts, Peggy and Ken, arigato gozaimashita! The VRBO off the coastal road opens like a Shangri-La. It is close to the "high road" to Waimea and the coastal road towards Kona, great views both ways. Highly recommend.

Peaceful, small farm stay, with great hosts
We stayed 5 days and enjoyed being in this northern part of the Island and meeting Peggy, who showed us around the farm, and shared a few of their farm fresh products from the goats and chickens. The location was great for exploring Hawi, Waimea, and the Kohala coast for beaches and historical places. We stayed in 4 different areas of the Big Island, and each area has a different vibe. It wasn’t as “touristy” here, and there were some very nice galleries, shops, and restaurants. Also there’s a grocery store directly across the street from this property, so very convenient. We did fix some meals here and we had what we needed in the small kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and would like to return someday. You’ll experience some real Hawaiian life that you won’t get in a hotel.

We had a wonderful visit here. The hosts Peggy and Ken were amazing, friendly, and made us feel at home. Peggy even brought over homemade jam, bread, cheese, and a couple of slices of birthday cake during our stay. The property is quiet and beautiful. The cottage is well-maintained and private. It is also well within reach of many amazing Big Island beaches. We would stay here again!

Amazing property and great hosts
We had a wonderful visit here. The host Peggy is very sweet and helpful. We were very comfortable and the property is stunning. Do yourself a favor and wake up early and have breakfast outside! She has plenty of extra things to make your trip easier like beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and even some snorkeling stuff. She also had some guavas (I’m now obsessed) and eggs that we were happy to have. The property is like an apartment style attached to her garage. We didn’t see the hosts besides arrival and departure so we felt very private. We would stay here again and possibly buy it if it was on the market! It’s beautiful!

Exquisite Wedding Weekend
7/7-8/23 We stayed at this clean, comfortable, and charming studio cottage to be close to our niece’s wedding in Niuli’i. The sounds of the coqui frogs, light rain, and cool breeze lulled us to sleep. The view of the yard from the picture window each morning was relaxing, too. Peggy was friendly and accommodating the moment she greeted us upon arrival. She offered eggs from her chickens and fruit from her trees. On our final morning, Peggy brought over freshly baked breakfast cookies and two types of papaya. What a delightful surprise that was! Given the opportunity, we would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing a piece of your tranquil paradise!

Side trip to the Big Island
My husband and I spent 5 days on the Big Island prior to going to a family reunion on Maui. We participated and enjoyed the following activities on the north end of the island: King Kamehameha I Day (was within walking distance of the ceremony/statue), aikido (Aikido of Kohala), hiking, and snorkeling. Our hosts, Peggy and Ken, were excellent. Present if we needed anything but not intrusive. Beautiful property.
