This was the most wonderful place we have ever stayed in. It was tastefully decorated with a beautiful yard and a great koi pond. We enjoyed preparing and eating meals in the outside kitchen, being part of nature. The hosts were very kind and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Having just spent two weeks island-hopping and staying in a variety of hotels and "resort" properties in Hawaii -- this charming, high-tech little home was by far the best (hands down the most-comfortable bed, too!). The hosts have clearly spent a great deal of time and creative energy landscaping this tranquil garden environment replete with koi pond, native plants, a burbling waterfall, an outdoor shower and kitchen, and a large hot tub perfect for stargazing. We loved our stay; with close proximity to the Volcano National Park and Kilauea, this property truly is an oasis amid the tropical paradise of the Big Island.

our favorite place to stay in Hilo

We liked the stay so much last time (21') that we hunted down the property for our visit this year. The layout is really nice for two and has everything you'll need. Hosts are great as well, very friendly / approachable. Final notes: LOVE the outdoor stove for cooking and the hot tub is a treat after a long day of exploring the island.

What an amazing place! Every single detail was thought about. We loved feeding the fish every morning, relaxing in the beautiful outdoor kitchen and backyard, an Simon the Siamese greeting us every morning was lovely! We loved the sounds of the coqui frogs at night and the sounds of birds in the morning. This place has everything and we highly recommend!

Truly an Oasis

The neighborhood was quiet, and the home was lovely and private. The backyard was also fantastic to sit outside. The bed was extremely comfortable which was perfect after being out all day and wanting a good nights sleep for the day ahead! Fantastic hosts as well. They were quick to respond if anything is needed. The location was also perfect to get to several different areas easily!

A real jewel

We have done many VRBO's & Air B&B's and this was by far the best place we have stayed. Absolutely immaculate & comfortable with no amenities missing. You have a gorgeous backyard with a stream fed goldfish pond, seating area, jacuzzi, bbq, and snorkeling equipment. Great location, five minutes to Hilo and central to all the exploring you want to do. Far better than the pictures can convey. If we ever go back to Hilo, this is where we will stay!

Unique stay at the Rivendell Oasis!

Gregory & Dana have created such a unique and beautiful space. We were able to disconnect during our stay just as we wanted. Everything was working as described. The indoor and outdoor kitchen were completely equipped and when we couldn't find something they got back to us very quickly. Thanks Gregory & Dana!
