- "Beautiful property. A remote, relaxing location about 20 minutes from great beaches and cute towns with nice restaurant options. Make sure you walk the property a bit to take in the wonderful views. Very clean with all of the extras to help make your trip go smoothly. Would definitely stay again!" - "Terri's home was THE surprise of our trip. The home is comfortable and exactly as described. There is no view from the home itself, but this is more than made up by the views available from the ranch. Pictures online don't do justice to the breathtaking views that are available just a short walk from the home, where we have access to a very large "private" grassy area that is perfect for sunsets, stargazing or just relaxing. We were amazed how lucky we were to have access to such a perfect spot on a working ranch on Big Island, with cattle and horses and all! Of all the places we have been on the Big Island, this is the one that the kids miss the most. Terri was very helpful in getting the kids on a horse ride on the property at the last minute too! Just a short (always rewarding) ride from the Kohala coast beaches, the beautiful Pololu Valley, and the Waimea area. All in all, if you seek staying away from the crowds, you simply cannot pass this rental. Mahalo Terri!"

- "Love being in Waimea. This loft is small cozy. Like a tree fort. Beautiful. We ate in the trees on the deck with Lots of birds singing. My husband had a hard time sleeping hearing all the back and forth chatter. I loved it. Tough steep driveway but kind of a fun challenge. We figured it out." - "If you want to stay close to good restaurants and beautiful beaches but skip the busy areas such as Kona or Hilo, this is the place for you. You're 5 min away from the best restaurants in town, 15 min away from beaches with warm and clear water, and still close enough to the mountains to get some of that cool air. The neighborhood is super safe, quiet and calm! The host went above and beyond to accommodate to our schedule. And the home itself is super comfortable, clean, and unique. We loved the experience and would definitely recommend to anyone!"

The house was comfortable with everything you need to feel at home. The location was breathtaking with ever changing views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and the birds were amazing. Katrinka was warm and welcoming… and if she offers you homemade cookies say yes!" - "Catrinka was a great host and even met us with a couple fresh Mangos from her trees. She kept in contact to let us know which roads were closed due to wildfires and it was a memorable stay for us! Everything we needed was provided and the quiet peaceful location was perfect for our personalities!"

- "The 2 BDRM Red Ohana cottage is a nice little house, well appointed with a cute island theme. Really enjoyed staying in Waimea (shopping/restaurants 5 mins away) with elevation providing a cooler temperature but a quick and easy trip down to the beaches. Fans in the house and cross breezes were adequate (no A/C). The 3 BDRM Red Ohana is a short distance away (shared driveway) but the high vegetation around the deck makes it all very private. Property is near the Waimea/Hawi intersection and while set back from the road a bit, traffic is noticeable ... but generally it dies down to zero in evening/overnight. We love the Kohala area and would stay at the Red Ohana again!"

- "The home is just as advertised. Clean, roomy, comfortable, well appointed, and ideally located. The owner is a pro who is attentive and kind. If you are looking for a central location away from the resorts, the Red Ohana house is for you. Thank you Laura for making sure our stay was so memorable!" - "The house is beautifully updated with clean, comfortable furnishings. Plenty of high quality linens for beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Only suggestion would be to have bath mats as the bathrooms are tiled and is slippery when wet. The kitchen is well appointed with full array of table ware, plates, stemware, and glass ware. A complete kitchen for cooking. Several ways to make coffee, from a keurig, to French Press and a pour over melitta style. Electric tea kettle and traditional tea kettle on the stove. The garden and deck are clean and well maintained. The yard has nice grass and plants. The deck had table and chairs and a nice gas grill. For a day at the beach, Boogie boards and beach chairs were available as well. The house is cleaned twice a week and is well maintained. The location was perfect for our needs and would recommend to stay another time."

Just renovated!
Aloha, we'd like to share with you the story of our property, Pu'u Menehune, which was, until recently, bull pasture for Parker Ranch. Our pristine 13-acre parcel, located in the heart of Paniola (Hawaiian cowboy) country, is blessed with a meandering stream, abundant waterfalls, and unsurpassed views of sacred Mauna Kea ('White Mountain') volcano.

As you will experience when you hike Pu'u Menehune, this area was the summer playground for Hawaiian Ali'i (royalty) who came to Waimea for its cool upslope weather, open spaces, fun outdoor activities, and beautiful vistas. This is truly God's Country!

The 1920's paniolo style home (bungalow) was formerly part of the historic Waimea Hotel and was saved by the owners from the wrecking ball when it was moved to its present location and painstakingly restored to its former glory -- a project that took the owners over 2-years to complete. Each room is furnished with period antiques and fixtures including an old, double drain, porcelain kitchen sink, period porcelain pedestal sinks in the bathrooms, chandeliers and period lighting in every room, high ceilings with original crown moldings, as well as a wood burning fireplace with ample firewood, and a wrap-around porch to entice you out of the house for the evening. During your stay, you will feel as though you stepped back in time, to a time when life was easier, when relaxation was permissible, when sitting on the front porch was the evening's entertainment.

On a clear, moonlit night, you will be treated to unsurpassed views of Mauna Kea. Feel free to do a 'moon walk' under the star-filled skies. Greet the morning with your fresh cup of Kona coffee and watch the sunrise as you gaze across Parker Ranch's vast pastures and grazing cattle. Watch as the sun dances across two beautiful pu'u (cinder cones) fronting the property graced with frisky horses and Jurassic Park-like scenery surrounding the bungalow-house.

Pu'u Menehune is surrounded by beautiful, native forests, horse and cattle ranches, pastures, and unspoiled forests, and has its own flowing stream with numerous waterfalls and ponds nurturing moss-covered-river-rock. Look and you will be treated to the sight of Ring-Knecked and Kalij Pheasants, Turkeys, California and Francolin Quail, as well as endemic honey-creepers and birds of prey like the Hawaiian owl (Pueo) and Hawaiian hawk (I'o). Enjoy the beauty of your own stream and the many pristine waterfalls which cascade along its course forming numerous ponds. The property is partially forested with endemic Koa, Ohia, Iliahi ("sandalwood"), Hapu'u ferns, Maile, and other native plants. Fruit trees include apple, peach, pear, plum, cherry, orange, tangerine, lemon, lime, and clementine trees. Our 13 acre ranch offers you privacy, peace and quiet, hiking, and nature walks along our pristine stream just a two-minute walk from the house, breathtaking waterfalls, and unsurpassed vistas of Mauna Kea and of the Parker Ranch lands and is vast pastures below, as well as abundant and unspoiled nature -- an artist's and photographer's delight! Located at a 3,300 foot elevation, the property offers constantly changing weather patterns and it is not unusual to find yourself standing in a cloud or mountain mist.

Although you will feel like you are in a world of your own, the charming town of Waimea is just 5 minutes away by car and offers all modern conveniences. The only thing we ask is that you join us in cherishing and protecting our historic home and this beautiful land -- truly God's Country!

Our historic, plantation bungalow features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a day-bed, a gourmet kitchen having an antique porcelain double sink, modern stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, gas stove with an electric oven located on an island, microwave, kitchen fully furnished with dishes (some antique), glasses (including wine glasses), cutlery, pots, pans, baking pans, spices, and partly stocked pantry. Kona coffee and various teas are sometime available in the 'coffee bar'. Other features include high ceilings with original mouldings, antique lighting, wood burning fireplace, wrap around porch to enjoy those breathtaking views, vistas from every room, cable t.v DVD player, CD stereo (music will never sound better), and a walk-in, slate shower with panoramic views! The two bedrooms have queen sized beds that sleep 4 adults. One bedroom has a princess cradle for an infant or toddler. The living room has a 'day-bed' for a fifth adult or two if you like it cozy.

- "My husband and I stayed at this home for a vacation on the Big Island, but he needed to work for a few hours each day--the wifi was excellent. He set up on the dining room table which looks out to Mauna Kea. So many birds! The koa trees planted on the property are habitat for many, many birds. Waimea is at 2700 feet elevation so bring a hoodie! I wore shorts and a hoodie and was comfortable running around town. Hapuna beach is just down the hill, we went almost every day. This property is the perfect location for my husband and me (a birder): quiet, beautiful, close enough to the beach."
