The entire property is Amazing! The owners and their dog are all very, very nice!
10.0
It began as a opportunity, but turned into a wonderful dream the property is such a green magical place. The blooming flowers rolling grass field and majestic palms. Fresh chicken eggs, the crocking of the frogs . It was hard to leave. Getting away from the busy life of the city and stepping back in time to a lovely peaceful place. This place will hold a special time for our family. Must visit. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful when needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kent and Marlene’s guest house, especially the big windows looking out on their beautiful property, the delicious fresh eggs and fruit, and the quiet and solitude. It is perfectly located for exploring the Hilo side of the island and the Volcanoes National Park.

Bowman’s guest house is a darling little house on a tranquil tucked away property. It is a delight for all the senses. Great place to unwind and enjoy the company you’re with. The beds are comfy and we loved juicing oranges each morning with our fresh eggs. We enjoyed exploring the Pahoa area and would definitely stay here again.

If you’re looking to kick back and relax, this is the place to stay. The guesthouse is just as pictured, situated in a beautifully landscaped setting. You’ll awaken to the clucking of the owner’s hens which also provide you with fresh eggs upon request. You’ll go to sleep to the sweet sounds of the coqui. Lava beds, beaches and funky shops and restaurants are close by. We highly recommend this guesthouse.

An adorable guest house, well kept and cleaned, with full kitchen facility. Located in a nice farm - wish we'd spent more time to explore (came home late every evening). Friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

Great property/Great location
Very nice, if spartan, guest house. It is exactly as described on VRBO. You're not getting the Ritz Carlton, but you're not paying for it either. The key thing about this place is that it is immaculately clean, and that goes a LONG ways for any place I stay. Kent was exceptionally prompt in replying to messages, and the directions were perfect to the place.
The highest compliment that I can give this property is that I would and will stay here again.

Peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting
Enjoyed the solitude and beauty of this guest house. Roosters, geckos, and lots of colorful birds right next door to Lava Tree monument. It is a good base for exploring Hilo, volcanoes, and the Puna coast, and the quaint town of Pahoa is close by. Very relaxing, thanks for hosting us here.

Quiet
Guest cottage was as described. Needs some more items for the kitchen to be up to par for making real meals though: a colander and a peeler would be a huge help.
It would have been helpful to know WHERE to take the trash out.
Didn’t love the rooster that woke my husband up every morning.
The location is perfect, being right next to Lava Tree State Park.

Beautiful big Island property
Had a fantastic time staying in Kent's guesthouse. It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of privacy. The property itself is calm and very relaxing - and while it's a bit far from the typical attractions, it was still an excellent home base from which to explore Hilo side :)
Mahalo nui loa, e Kent!

Peaceful Island Getaway
Such a beautiful place! Charming, well appointed cottage situated near the back of the property surrounded by forrest preserve. The Bowmans were very gracious hosts and furnished us with fresh eggs from their chickens! Hoping our travels take us back here soon.

Amazing Getaway Spot
My husband and I LOVED staying here during our last 3 days on the island. We previously stayed in Kona and it was extremely busy and touristy. But Ken and Melanie's guesthouse was just what we needed to take a step back and enjoy the peace that Hawaii has to offer. The landscape was beautiful and secluded. The guesthouse was also within reasonable driving distance to Hilo. Would definitely stay again!

Secluded Getaway
My SO and I had a great getaway at the Bowman's guest cottage. It looked to have been recently renovated and furnished with tasteful, simple finishes and amenities. They welcomed us w/ fresh eggs from their hens and a box of Macadamia Nut chocolates, both of which were welcome. If you're looking to unplug (and I do mean that--there's no tv, no wifi, and cellular data on AT&T was spotty for me) and get away (you're very much not in town) this is an A+ spot to do it.

Quiet Paradise
We rented this beautiful place for 10 days. It was very clean and quiet. The owners were very nice, polite, and responsive to any question or concern we had. The rooster woke us up every dawn and the rain was a beautiful sound to wake up or sleep through the night. Overall it was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend.

Beautiful property!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The couple who own the VRBO were great people, and so accommodating. The property was great. We really could not ask for more, except we wished we could have stayed longer. Definitely would come back.

Rest by the Lava Tree

Relaxing, Beautiful Stay
The Bowman’s were great hosts! They came over to the guest house to greet us upon arrival and let us know they were available if we needed anything during our stay. Their main house is a nice distance from the guest house. Our group of three came for meetings and team building so we were thrilled with the privacy, clean rooms, bathroom and kitchen/dining area. The backdrop of their beautiful property made having hours long discussions on the deck and in the dining area peaceful yet productive. High recommend!

Great Escape
If you want to get away and disconnect, this guest house will provide that for you. Hosts were welcoming and kind. Amazing views and property. Nice to a local hiking trail. Check it out.

Incredible night sky. Serenaded to sleep by the frogs
Very clean. Beautiful property. The host provided fresh eggs and fruit produced on the property. Suggest this house is for a maximum of 2 adults. Very small children might be able to sleep on the futon but it's too hard for a teenager or adult. Would be helpful to have a luggage rack or two. Fair warning that it gets light at 5am in the summer and with minimal window coverings, the whole place is light. The covered parking and complimentary Aloe were great.

We enjoyed our stay and we would return again. Quiet and relaxing.
We pulled in late, well after dark in the rain. Next day, after day break, we finally enjoy the well kept property. It was nice and quiet and we felt very safe at this property. The owners were very nice and accommodating.
