Happy New Year! Thank you, Babette, for being such a gracious hostess. After backpacking in Volcanoes Natl Park, your peaceful cottage was a welcome site. We enjoyed the coqui frogs singing us to sleep each night, the sound of the constant rain on the roof, and we even rescued a freezing gecko that somehow found itself trapped in the fridge. We give this cottage a 5 out of 5 stars!

Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay and explore this side of the island. It was more comfortable and much cleaner than I could have imagined! Thank you so much. Olympia, Washington -- May 2011
Thank you for the lovely stay. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this unique community. We are in awe of its beauty. Warm wishes, Jan + Drew -- March 2011
Thank you so much for renting out your awesome vacation cottage!! We had an amazing week here in this tiny piece of heaven.... The sound of the ocean and frogs every night was peaceful, as well as the full moon and tradewinds.... The black beach across the road was our favorite place - end of the road, hiking on lava, Kona mudpie milkshakes, good Thai food in Pahoa, tide pools snorkeling, warm ponds, etc. We'll definitely be back. Thank you again. Your friends, J+S -- April 2011
Thank you for taking us in on short notice. We had a great time exploring the area. Your studio was excellent: clean, airy, and very well stocked.
C+B, Canada -- August 2010
This has been a great stay and a very enjoyable cottage.... The beach down the road is a jewel. The lava field a few minutes away is impressive!

B, what a charming & lovely way to experience Hawaii for the first time! I love the "lonely Puna roads." It was just what I needed to relax and refresh my spirit. Thank you for your suggestions, your stories and your music. I hope you will visit me on the west coast sometime and I hope I can get back here to visit you again. Aloha until then, E -- July 2009
You are a delight and so is your cottage. I hope you will clear the calendar when I next call, because this will be my place every year! -- K, March 2009
