The Vintage Farmhouse was true to it's name and full of charm in every way from the fixtures, furniture and appliances. The home fit in perfectly with its setting in the up country of the Big Island north coast. In addition to the great, spacious interior, well appointed kitchen for a vacation stay, comfortable bedroom and awesome outdoor shower, the outdoor garden was a beautiful tropical garden with tons of variety. Because the house was near Honokaa town, it was a great location from which to explore both the Hilo side as well as the North Kohala coast of the Big Island. Also, Dale, the owner, has many thoughtful amenities including beach towels and chairs, flashlights, umbrellas and insect repellent if needed. There is even an outdoor sink for rinsing off sandy items.
I felt well rested and was lulled to sleep easily to the sound of the coqui frogs. The morning roosters did crow early but did not affect my slumber. My husband, however, did awaken easily due to their calls. But we would not hesitate to stay here again if we find ourselves on the Big Island in the future.
