From our guest book...
You offer so much to your guests; I felt that we didn’t even have the time to take advantage of it all!!
We appreciate so much your relationship to your beautiful land and home and that you share that with us. It is
amazing to have breakfast from the back yard! Especially thanks for the homemade coffee—wow!!
I also love that the place has so many practical and artful touches – the attention to detail – while still being simple
and not overdone. We had a great stay and would certainly recommend you. Mahalo from DeAnna & Jeff, Oakland,
California

Thanks! We’ve spent 5 wonderful days in your B & B. The place is beautiful, the garden and the room is like a home,
perfect if you are traveling with small kids! I won’t forget your hospitality! We very much appreciated the turkey
sandwich when we arrived and all the attention you gave us. The breakfast was SUPERB! Finally my son was eating!
Thanks a lot, we do not know when we’ll have the chance to be back in Big Island but we will talk about you in Italy.
Lorenta, Luce, Matteo & Anna, Bologna, Italy

**************************************************************************************

We spent two weeks on the islands, and stayed at many different B & Bs. Couldn’t help observing that your place is a
much higher class than all the rest. You have paid attention to detail, and the hygiene here is impeccable. We are
very impressed by the art work around the house; your DVD collection, books, games etc. made us feel at home!
Breakfast was superb too! Thanks a million! We’ll be back in a few years for sure. Eva & Franco, Madison, Wisconsin

**************************************************************************************

This is the best B & B we’ve stayed at in Hawaii and we mean it! You’ve add a lot of nice touches in the room,
common areas and the breakfasts too! We’ll definitely tell people about it, and we’ll stay here again when we return in
a couple of years. Another big plus is how quiet and peaceful it is. Thanks for your hospitality. Susan & Michel, Palo
Alto, California

**************************************************************************************

Thanks for letting us stay  here. I was very comfortable and it was very comforting. I liked how the chickens would be

stay. Love, Samantha. Thank you for giving us a nice place to stay. Love, Anna

What a wonderful find! I was skeptical when my husband to be (now is) found your listing on the Web site. But

**************************************************************************************

We enjoyed our time here on the Big Island and at your place. Your home is absolutely lovely! This was our first time

the area. Thank you for your hospitality. Elaine & Adi, New York

We have had some really nice days on the Big Island and at your Bed & Breakfast. The garden tour ws interesting,
guided by Jerry. We enjoyed the nature around – completely different than in NC and in Berlin. Thanks for the great
hospitality, we would love to stop by again. We wish you all the best (that the lava will stay away!) Aloha, Sabine,
Andreas, Annika, Max & Luisa, North Carolina & Berlin

**************************************************************************************

I really would like to thank you for everything, I felt like at home here. The place in which you live is really fantastic. I
hope to come back here again one day. Breakfast was always so good, I don’t have a breakfast like that, not even at
home! You gave me a lot of interesting information to visit the best parts of the island. Marzia, Italy

Thank you so much! We had a lovely stay. (only wish we could stay longer.) Aloha, Hannah & Cory, Santa Cruz,

We had so much fun, but our visit was too short! I would have loved doing art projects – mosaics, flower pressing –
all of it! Breakfast was awesome and the farm tour here was so educational – when we move out here, we’ll definitely
need your advice. Thanks for a wonderful 2 nights, and we’ll stay in touch. Katie, Vin & Theo, Pueblo, Colorado (and
Waimea)

You both have been so wonderful. Thank you so much for your hospitality! We loved coming to such a clean place.

you have here! You will do great with this place! Keep smiling. Jubie & James, Beaverton, Oregon ps We’ll be back
when our family can make it (We’ll have at least 2 keikis by then).

Wonderful to see the other side of the island, and your B & B is great! Matt, Kailua Kona

**************************************************************************************

We can’t tell you how nice it was to arrive exhausted from the airport to find Art & Orchids spotlessly clean,
welcoming, and with all the comforts of home. You have obviously gone to a great deal of trouble to provide
everything your guests could possibly need or want. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and letting us share
your home. Linda & Mike, Annapolis Maryland

**************************************************************************************

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We enjoyed all your special touches. The art work and
orchids are a great touch. Thank you for all your baking & food preparations. We could feel the love
in your place as soon as we walked in. P.S. Will thanks you for the Birthday Gift & French Toast, too!
Donna & Will from New Jersey

**************************************************************************************

We’ll be back. You have a great space here and are the most welcoming and friendly hosts (not to
mention going out of your way to help us out).
Thanks ever so much
Monique & Gord from Winnipeg

Everything was lovely! Kim, Jerry, Jeremy from Honolulu

THANKS!!! The place is awesome, very tastefully arranged. The food was great. You really have a little piece of

Laura & Joel from Berkeley

**************************************************************************************

What a BEAUTIFUL place! This was our first time at a B & B and what a treat it was. The hospitality was wonderful
and the surroundings were warm and inviting. We loved all the special touches you have put into this place. As I
mentioned, my friends will be visiting the Big Island in May. I will be sure to “highly” recommend your place if they
make it over this way. Thank you for everything! Jim, Miyoki & John from San Diego

**************************************************************************************

Thank you for letting us pet your dogs Koko & Ipo. I had fun doing Chinese brushstrokes and painting Samantha.
The beds were comfy and the breakfasts were good. I had a great time. I really enjoyed playing with Koco and Ipo.
Also, I had a good time picking up eggs. I hope we meet again sometime.
