Tucked away in a tree line with sweeping views, this reproduction 19th-century paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) ranch house has two bedrooms and a ton of ambiance. The owner has showered attention on every architectural detail, from the lava-rock fireplace to the period plumbing to the retro-style appliances (which are actually high-tech). Has a three-night minimum stay.
The house is located about 2 miles southwest of Hawi, off Kohala Mountain Rd. Book well in advance.
