"After a glorious week in the Big Island we were so delighted to finish our trip in Volcano at your cottage. Its been truly breath taking with the rainbow over Hawaii and ending with falling asleep listing to raindrops. We feel peaceful and relaxed. Our 5 year old wants to "Stay here forever." Mahalo for the glorious experience- We hope to return again."

"What a glorious place! We love being inside but feeling like were out. We prefer to be outside so this spot fulfills all our wants and needs. We went to bed under a sky filled with stars and woke to the most beautiful sunny day ever, with bird song coming trough our open window, 12 inches from our heads. Our 2 teen boys loved this place too. Aloha and Mahalo"

"We are having a lovely breakfast in "The Bamboo Guest House"! Were actually having breakfast with Frank Sinatra, and he is singing "I've got a crush on you," which was the favorite song of Mary Kay and my dad, Charlie. So Mary Kay is in heaven! The sunlight coming in through the tree ferns to shine on certain work of art.... so very lovely! I believe our fondest memories of Hawaii will be of the Bamboo Guest House and the Orchid of Hawaii ."
Nancy and Mary , CA

"This beautiful bed and breakfast was even more wonderful then we imagined it was going to be! We love the feeling of being in the open Rain forest. We were thrilled to be removed from all electronics (w/exception to the relaxing music of the CDs) and loved being able to relax in nature. We hope to be able to visit again in the future. The outdoor shower tub was so enjoyable at the end of the day. We wish we could take it with us. This was the perfect vacation at a much needed time for us! Thank you! We wish we could stay longer."

What more can we do to make our guests happy and comfortable and to feel at home-not on holiday-at home." And then you did it all!!

How you managed to make this place absolutely perfect, we'll never know. ...We're stunned. ...We'd like to replicate the entire thing and plunk it on top of our rented brownstone, but we'd still have to fly 13 hours to see the lava. Mahalo."
-Mike and Jessica Elvin, Brooklyn, NY
