Patrick sets the bar for hosts, and his place is the standard to which all bookings should aspire. You should feel lucky to get a chance to stay here. Let me tell you why. After coming down off a mountain after a hike, Patrick expedited cleaning to allow us to check in early (on Christmas Day), which was a boon to our tired bodies. Then he met us in the driveway with Irish cheer and showed us to our room, even starting the record player for us in a flourish of good will and hospitality. He regaled us with stories of coming to Hawaii and gave us innumerable suggestions on things to do while on the island (highly recommend planting a coconut on the black sand beach). After settling us in, he made himself scarce, and we had the magical place to ourselves. After a soak in the tub, we sat outside to drink a bottle of champagne and listen to nature (and more Hawaiian records). That night we slept like logs in the comfortable bed, and we awoke to a beautiful morning on the big island. He told us the big island was about the elements, and we had already seen fire (erupting volcano) and ice (summit of Mauna Loa), so we should see the wind meet the water on the cliffs of black sand beaches, which we did. Bottom line, this place is more than a stay, its an experience, and one that I highly recommend.

This is an amazing adventure unlike anywhere else we have stayed on the Big Island. The accommodations are rustic and private and make you feel like you are in a jungle setting. When the sun has set, take your glass of wine and sit at the counter in the open air kitchen. The wildlife sounds are captivating. Thank you, Patrick, for a wonderful stay at the Red Cottage and for your captivating stories.

Adorable little cottage in a quiet beautiful jungle. The pictures are accurate...there is an outdoor kitchen with lots of birds, frogs and chickens around to enjoy. The bedroom - bathroom are enclosed, so comfortable for sleeping. Patrick met us and provided an excellent overview. The little record player and records as well as the bowl of treats was a very thoughtful touch. Just ensure you are aware that you are 30 mins from Hilo and not too much around. This could be a positive for some.

It was as described and therefore, no issues.

We stayed 2 nights in the Red cottage, we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the vibe of the place, it is really well equiped with everything you need to cook a meal, very confortable bathroom and bedroom. The nature all around the cottage was amazing, we had a great time watching all the local geckos. Patrick, our host, was so nice and friendly, gave us wonderful tips for what to do in the area!

Be aware of the mosquitoes!! There were mosquitoes coils available for us (although we realized that only after buying some ourselves), and the coils did a great job keeping mosquitoes away.

It was very comfortable with a kitchen, great bathtub for soaking in, and a a record player with a nice assortment of records to peruse. I'll most definitely stay there again.

It was beautiful! My favorite was the giant claw foot bathtub! Patrick provides candles and incense. I put on some relaxing music and it was the most restorative bath I’ve ever had! Even though it was relatively secluded, I never felt unsafe! I have traveled solo before, and being a lone female traveler can be a bit scary. Patrick is a gracious host with a lot of local knowledge!

I only stayed one night!

The owner was awesome and such a friendly, war, very inviting and chill im definitely going to stay there everytime
