The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. The view was incredible. This is a prime location for dinner at the Country Store-which I highly recommend as the food is yummy and they have live music. The property is close to several waterfalls and the cow sanctuary where you can literally hug cows! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. ##### Rachel R.

The location feels quite remote but is quite easy to get to and on a very lush and green part of the island. Excellent check in instructions from the host. The situation is simple and affordable and very low stress. We were able to get away from our cares and relax! Never noticed the guests in the cottage next door. Everything with our cottage was as I had hoped... except that the shower took so long to heat up that I thought there was no hot water, and then when it did, it didn't stay the same temp. But overall a lovely place. ##### Stephen R. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### little cabin The grounds and the view are great, the cabin has been partially restored. It was a very rustic kitchen set-up, but we made it work. Only real problem were ants. They could find a single grain of sugar anywhere.We named the rooster that hangs around there Hei-Hei. We also had the gecko brothers who kept sneaking into kitchen.The pond has toads in it and they sing at night, counted 6 one night. The water lily bloomed while we were there.The temp on the water heater needs to be turned up a little, it is just above warm.Feeding the chickens every morning was fun, they got to know me when I come walking up they all come running.Made it down to the stream and waterfalls a couple of times, absolutely beautiful. The hike down it not for the inexperience hiker, loose and steep, but worth it if you are able to do it. Cold water.Papaaloa store is a great place to stop in, they have a little of everything. They have a cafe and Fri. and Sat. nights they have live music.5:30-7:30, great food and nice people.I would definitely stay here again, would like to see this cabin after it is fully renovated. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne P. 26 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Tiki Cottage This was a favorite stay for us. Wonderful relaxing property with ocean view and cooling breezes. We also loved the nearby Papa’aloa Country Store and cafe. We will definitely come back here if we visit the Big Island again. Sidra and Chris were gracious hosts, and the eggs from their farm were delicious. Cell service was spotty. Be sure to screen shot a detailed map from Google BEFORE you get to Papa’aloa, and arrive in daylight. Messages from the owners don’t necessarily get through, especially after working hours. Also, don’t expect a luxury retreat. Our Tiki Cottage was clean and comfortable, if a little spare. Expect to relax and enjoy the communal farm property (there are a few cottages) and leave refreshed and happy! ##### Anne P.

We couldn’t find it. I stopped at several places including that general store. No one heard of it! Hours and hours of driving in such a remote area. No signal to communicate with anyone! In the dark. You can’t check in til 4. The address was just impossible ##### Kerry ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alysia 8 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Where do I even begin with how DISGUSTING this place is. I get that it is a "farm" but I didn't realize I was going to be living like an animal in BUGS and SQUALOR. I wish I could add photos to this review as a fair warning to all. I understand a few bugs getting in the room, its a humid, jungly habitat, but the host didn't even bother to clean up the THOUSANDS of dead bugs all over the floor, the counters, the window.. Then the live ones crawling all over the bed and my luggage. I fled the scene as soon as I could secure another room and just ate the $500 I spent. IT WAS THAT BAD. I would have rather used a public toilet seat as a pillow than spent another night here. But if you would like to see an advanced civilization of insects on the verge of establishing democracy and higher education then this is the place for you!! ##### Alysia Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jordan B. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy ##### Jordan B.

Thankfully the host was available to stay on the phone while we found the place in the dark. We were very grateful for that! Unfortunately, the next night when the power went out to the bathroom cottage, they were unresponsive. We were left to shower by cell phone flashlight, but the water was warm and we were in Hawaii, so it wasn't terrible. ##### Shawn H.

The sunrise ocean views here are an amazing way to start any day. The communication with the host was a little lacking, but the beautiful location more than made up for it. We stayed in one of their 3 cabins with a short walk to the bathroom and a our own protected outdoor kitchen. We really enjoyed the eggs and fruit from the site and sitting and enjoying the endless views. I would definitely recommend this stay! ##### Jacob E.

The water can be poor sometimes but it's part of the experience! Super cute place with nice beds and kitchen with everything you need! The communication with the owner was not that unfortunately :/ ##### Mathilde Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward T. 3 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Platform needed better cleaning .
