Farmstay holiday rentals in Hawaii County

The Bananarama Cottage is the coziest place we've stayed at so far. Rob and Bob welcomed us with a delicious loaf of bread and a piece of cake from their own bakery. They are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. The cottage is beautifully furnished, and we didn’t miss a thing. After three months of traveling, this was the perfect place to slow down and recharge. The proximity to Volcanoes National Park is great, and the whole area offers plenty of opportunities for activities. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend it to everyone.

What a true respite from the hustle and bustle. Although the lodgings were somewhat humble, everything was comfortable and the setting was amazing! The grounds of the property are a true oasis of Hawaiian flora - ask for the tour! Amazing and knowledgable hosts who so graciously honored this request.

What a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. My mom and I really enjoyed the surroundings and the wonderful hosts. We appreciated Kayo and Roby allowing us to have our working dog stay with us at the rental. We hope to visit again in the future.

Sharon and Mark were so sweet! We got a little tour and lots of great conversation with them! It was cozy and a beautiful location.

Exactly what you would expect. Peaceful, beautiful, and a lovely escape from the daily grind. Unfortunately, it was dry enough that we didn’t get to see the waterfalls, but we could tell that they would be absolutely gorgeous under normal conditions. In general, you want a four-wheel-drive on the big island, and probably something along the lines of a Jeep Wrangler. There are some things that Keith told us about that we were interested in doing, but the vehicle we had wasn’t able to do them. We were able to spend an evening chatting with Keith and it was a great time. He has a lot of good ideas and hidden places to find on the island so you should really ask him about them. Ultimately, this was our favorite stay when we were in Hawaii, both because it was peaceful and quiet, but also because of the ability to get away from the bustle and grind of the rest of the island. The weather for us was beautiful and mosquitoes weren’t a problem. The mosquito coils provided worked wonders. App

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

Beautiful views surrounded by ʻōhiʻa in bloom. Wendy was responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Cherie was a great host. I stayed in her cottage while working in the area. The cottage was easy to access, clean, and a very restful place to land after a very full days of work!

Charming, peaceful, and full of character, this farm stay in Kona was a perfect retreat. The setting was lush and serene, with cozy accommodations and a sweet resident cat who made the experience even more special. We loved the quiet, natural surroundings and appreciated the thoughtful touches from the host. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy a more local, down-to-earth side of the Big Island.

Our stay was fantastic! The place was super clean and beautifully maintained. From sunrise to sunset, you’re immersed in nature’s beauty, making every moment serene. The friendly dogs, cats, and goats added such a charming, playful vibe to the experience. The host was incredibly responsive and supportive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this gem for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

Our stay at the farm was wonderful - beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was well appointed, and the screened in lanai was a fabulous place to gather, watch the sunset, and relax. Not a big deal , but the tv is in the bedroom, so watching a family movie is difficult. There was an ample supply of snorkeling gear, a cooler, and boogie boards, which we much appreciated. Rivah and Johan couldn’t have been more pleasant and accommodating. They’re great people, and they roast some delicious coffee beans. Thanks, Rivah and Johan, for sharing your paradise with us.

We didn’t want to leave! This was our home base while we waited for Kīlauea’s magical eruption, which was incredible! Our week long stay in this contemporary jungle loft was tropically tranquil and serene. We made breakfast with the coffee, honey, spinach and eggs that were provided by our host which was all farmed right there on the waterfarm! A truly farm to table experience. Our favorite part was making meals and eating out on the lanai and making friends with all of the geckos. In the evening, you can hear them making their calling sounds, and it is truly other worldly. You definitely need a car as Pahoa is about 20ish minutes away and Hilo is about an hour, so stock up on groceries if you’re staying a while. We went to Kehena black sand beach almost everyday, made some friends and got invited to see the famous Ledward Kaapana play at Kaleo’s Grill. The waterfarm was truly an authentic and off the beaten path way to experience the big island, and we loved every minute of it!

Sally's place did not disappoint--we so enjoyed being tucked away on the Big Island. There were plenty of nearby hikes and outdoor activities. It was also incredibly easy to just stay put and relax. We used the spot to get around to various locations on the island. We also had no issues driving back at night. Super great touches we appreciated, like having water shoes, snorkeling gear, and a cooler (all things we ended up using!). Appreciated the flexibility using the shared laundry machines. Sally also proactively offered a later check out on our last day since there was no on checking in. We hadn't planned on lingering, but ended up spending a little more time with our coffee next to the pond that morning!

We are back to visit Starseed Ranch again and again! This time we stayed in the Ohana Suite with a private bathroom and kitchen. The room was very large and beautiful with sliding screened doors and windows with a private sitting area. If you want to get away from it all and stay in gorgeous surroundings this place is it! The area near the Pololu Valley Lookout is completely magical and Starseed Ranch has its' own magic within it. The hosts are wonderful and the grounds are gorgeous with outdoor eating and sitting areas that include an outdoor gourmet kitchen as well. The yoga room that sits near the creek is a wonderful space to practice or relax in while taking in the breeze, listening to the birds, and the water running along the creek. The stars at night are amazing. We will be back every year to stay at Starseed Ranch as there is no place as magical as this. Thank you Dash and Erika!

Amazing view and great vibes at this place. Neighborhood was very chill and there is great coffee and breakfast burritos less than 5 minutes away at Uncle Kimos. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Hawaii.

I really love the place… it’s nice and clean and it feels right to spend time with family.

A great area to stay at - I'm really glad we chose this Airbnb! The cooler weather was welcome and mountainous scenery was beautiful.

We stayed at the Ranch for a solid week. This place is so nice and peaceful, the sounds of the frogs and the crickets lull you to sleep. The beds are comfortable and it had all amenities you could want. The way it is situated it has a nice ocean breeze that constantly keeps the place at the perfect temperature all time. When we arrived, we were greeted by the pups who would check up on us regularly during the trip. Dino would even come in for a short visit. The cows were great to visit throughout the day. They love the Ti leaves and there’s so many plants to pick and feed them. Deborah and Steve live on the property, and it’s like having the best neighbors ever. Never felt like they were to close but they were always there to help and guide. They are such amazing hosts, for sure the best hosts I’ve come across in all my travels. There is no doubt when we return to Hilo we will be staying at the Broken Dog Ranch and if there is no availability we will be just going up to say hi!!

This property and its hosts are something special. It is not, nor does it claim to be, a luxury property. If you want resort amenities, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a genuine feel for living on Hawaii, with a side of truly generous and friendly hosts, you have found your spot! Don't be afraid of the road. We rented a Nissan Rogue and had no issues. Take it slowly, watch for animals, potholes, and falling fruit, and you'll be fine. The property at the end of the journey is worth it! There is a lot of space to spread out in the house, and room to wander on the farm, with magnificent views from everywhere. The house is comfortable and has everything you need, and more. You won't find a more peaceful place to stay, and you won't find hosts that more perfectly personify ALOHA. They are available and excited to share their piece of paradise. We would definitely stay here again for the location, the landscape, the comfort, and (especially) the hosts.

Pavel and Irina were wonderful hosts — incredibly helpful and accommodating. The place is peaceful, comfortable, and surrounded by stunning views. Watching the sunrise was truly magical. Our daughter especially enjoyed walking around the farm, watching the cows and hens. We also picked fresh lychees.

We wanted to stay somewhere away from the city and have more of a genuine Hawaiin experience and we couldn't have been happier with our time at Kat and Joe's. Their property is serene, the proximity to the beautiful beaches is perfect and they are kind, welcoming hosts. We hope to stay there again sometime soon!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Watch gorgeous sunsets with panaromic voews pf the ocean right from the deck! Great snorkeling close by if you're comfortable getting in from rocks. Private pool to enjoy when you've had enough salt water for the day.

Words really don’t do a good job of describing just how beautiful this home and property are. So peaceful and serene. A true treasure. You will not be disappointed. Easy and straightforward check in. Great communication from Brenda. We look forward to returning.

KJ’s place was beyond what my husband and I expected. The location provides so much peace and privacy with so many fun amenities to enjoy in and around the property. We were also very grateful for the thoughtful itinerary that was provided to us after booking. We had a short visit to Kona but that helped us ensure we didn’t miss any of the major attractions. We cannot wait to return!
