Absolutely lovely property and the quality of build and obvious care taken is such a refreshing contrast to the general quality of vacation rentals.

Loved this place. Very unique layout and architecture — everything about it was really thoughtful. Location is secluded and has a beautiful view. Definitely nice to be upland and out of the heat down in Kona and Kohala.

It was relaxing, very private, comfortable. The house was beautifully designed. Loved the sliding doors that open to the outdoors. We would definitely stay again

Mo's farmhouse lived up to all our expectations and then much beyond. The moment we entered we were at home. The sunsets and views from the patio were gorgeous. The house itself is very warm and cozy. It is equipped with everything you need. The weather was beautiful duriyour stay. It rained twice in late afternoon and that was a magical experience. The house is buzzing with nature with the lush garden and a cute coffee farm. We picked mulberries and sweet lemons. The small infinity pool is very cut. You will hear countless birds in the morning - and roosters. For us that was quite soothing. You can see stars right from the bed and although we could not get a clear sky at night duriyour stay we did get a glimpse of the stars on one night. All in all this was a magical experience for us. We came for our 25th anniversary and we could not have picked a better place! Thank you Mo for allowing us to experience your wonderful farmhouse.

This is such a special place! We stayed here during a busy wedding weekend and it was the perfect quiet respite. The house and views are stunning, of course, but there are so many thoughtful touches throughout that truly set this home apart: the beautifully maintained grounds, the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, the handmade ceramics throughout the house. My husband is a light sleeper but he loved falling asleep to the frog song. We’re so grateful that Mo has chosen to share this property with guests!

Incredible host. Beautiful garden. With extraordinary view. We were so happy here. Thank you

We LOVED our stay at Motter's beautiful Hawaiian home! It is high above Kailua Kona with an amazing view of the coastline below. The plantation animals that others write about are indeed a bit noisy with an occasional rooster noise in the middle of the night. But, they always die right back down and allow for blissful sleep. And, all the fun noises add to the charm of the place! There are abundant coffee farms along the historic road you take to get the house. The cleaning of the unit was impeccable. The owner was VERY responsive to our communications and was so kind as to encourage us to pick any fruit on the property during our stay. We will be back- such a lovely home and host!!

This was the most AMAZING VRBO property we've ever stayed in. Everything about the grounds and home are restorative. Fresh fruit grows on the trees, beautiful plants surround you at every turn, the bed is comfortable, the pool is peaceful and the view cannot be beat. No need to go out at night - we picked up fresh produce and fish each day from the local markets and cooked at home. The owner's descriptions are 100% accurate, so if you want quiet in the morning...choose another place. But if you love being a part of nature...this is for you. This place is truly special. Thank you to Mo for allowing us to experience Chris' vision. It's perfection and we can't wait to return.
