Rivendell Oasis-Peaceful garden setting with private hot tub close to waterfalls

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful getaway! Definitely would stay again. Coming from Texas heat was admittedly nervous about no A/C, but the overnight temp and ceiling fan made it pleasant. We stayed 4 different places on this trip to Maui and Big Island and this was our favorite place. They have everything you need."

"In short, We loved it. The waterfall was amazing. It looked much prettier than the photo showed. I would love just to stay in the house and do nothing but listening the nature sounds. The house itself was very pretty and unique. The location is also good. so close to the town. overall experience is wonderful. I loved the stay."

"Interior design nicely arranged, but pricey for what it really is. Clean, good communication with host. Location OK, close to downtown hilo, breach front if you have a car, but surroundings of the appartment are not fantastic, Table for dinner is tiny, can fit 2 guests but not 4, what made dinner as a family of 4 challenging..."

"I’m not sure I can completely express how much staying here meant to us. This unit helped make our trip as wonderful as it could possibly be. The unit is bright and thoughtfully and beautifully designed and decorated. It is surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful flowers on the property, and it was neat and clean as can be.The owners are lovely and were so welcoming and helpful, especially with information and suggestions about seeing the current eruption at Kilauea. The check in and check out were easy and seamless.We had a wonderful visit to the Hilo side and this unit was a perfect place to rest and recharge from the days adventures. Thank you so much!"

8/10 Good
"Beautiful property in Hilo in a gated area but still close enough to walk to town. Met the neighbors who are so friendly. We were able to pick fruits from the yard and enjoy them. Great location for many activities. Communication was easy with the host. Didn’t realize when we booked that there was no AC and the house was very hot at first. They do provide many fans which helped but if you have a hot night like our first one sleeping was difficult. Lots of frogs making noise outside so that took awhile and ear plugs to get use to but having the windows open helps with air flow and to cool the house. Overall lovely older home with beautiful yard and huge screened in porch."

"Lory and Stewart were gracious hosts, and their property is a quaint island getaway! The room was clean and nicely furnished. The back yard was huge and beautiful. And the breakfasts served on the back porch were delicious and a nice opportunity to converse with the hosts and other guests."
