Tranquil cottage in peaceful Kohala farm setting
About this cottage rental
Situated in Kapaau, this attractive cottage for $138 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This studio cottage sits on 5 acres of orchard, gulch and gardens with the Kohala coast as a backdrop. The owners farm the back 20 acres with cattle, sheep, goats and chickens. We are located midway between the towns of Hawi and Kapa'au--both known for their quaint shops and restaurants. Although only a 5-minute drive to town, the cottage is set back from the road and is completely surrounded by tall bamboo and ironwood trees ensuring a tranquil and private environment. Guests may wander the grounds to pick seasonal fruits, herbs and veggies, visit with the animals or kick back in a comfy hammock to enjoy the tradewinds. Complimentary Direct TV and internet are available for your convenience. There is a kitchenette complete with microwave, 2 burner hot plate, coffee maker, toaster oven, blender and refrigerator. It is fully supplied with dishes and cookware should you choose to prepare your own meals. There is a dining table with views of the front lawn and orchard and a country grocery store just across the street. The comfortable queen sized bed sleeps two and the bath has both tub and shower. Scenic Pololu Valley and lookout is a 20 minute drive to the north and Hapuna Beach State Park and Kohala resorts are a 25 minute drive to the south.

We loved staying here! First of all, Peggy and Ken are incredibly warm and welcoming and such genuinely nice people. Peggy left us many snacks and other treats, and the unit is very private and feels like your own tiny cottage. The bedding and towels were older but cotton, and we were finally able to be comfortable (other places had polyester sheets that ran hot)! The location was excellent although very tricky to find and it's easy to miss the turnoff. We would definitely stay here again!

Very friendly and accommodating hosts, Peggy and Ken, arigato gozaimashita! The VRBO off the coastal road opens like a Shangri-La. It is close to the "high road" to Waimea and the coastal road towards Kona, great views both ways. Highly recommend.

Charming cottage looking out over a breathtaking manicured property. Peggy and Ken were the perfect hosts during our stay at the north end of the island. Conveniently located to restaurants and a grocery store. We highly recommend.

We stayed 5 days and enjoyed being in this northern part of the Island and meeting Peggy, who showed us around the farm, and shared a few of their farm fresh products from the goats and chickens. The location was great for exploring Hawi, Waimea, and the Kohala coast for beaches and historical places. We stayed in 4 different areas of the Big Island, and each area has a different vibe. It wasn’t as “touristy” here, and there were some very nice galleries, shops, and restaurants. Also there’s a grocery store directly across the street from this property, so very convenient. We did fix some meals here and we had what we needed in the small kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and would like to return someday. You’ll experience some real Hawaiian life that you won’t get in a hotel.

Peggy and Ken are wonderful host! The property and location were exactly as expected! The singing frogs at night were just so relaxing. Look forward to visiting Cozy Corner in the near future. This is a must stay property.

We had a wonderful visit here. The hosts Peggy and Ken were amazing, friendly, and made us feel at home. Peggy even brought over homemade jam, bread, cheese, and a couple of slices of birthday cake during our stay. The property is quiet and beautiful. The cottage is well-maintained and private. It is also well within reach of many amazing Big Island beaches. We would stay here again!

We had a wonderful visit here. The host Peggy is very sweet and helpful. We were very comfortable and the property is stunning. Do yourself a favor and wake up early and have breakfast outside! She has plenty of extra things to make your trip easier like beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and even some snorkeling stuff. She also had some guavas (I’m now obsessed) and eggs that we were happy to have. The property is like an apartment style attached to her garage. We didn’t see the hosts besides arrival and departure so we felt very private. We would stay here again and possibly buy it if it was on the market! It’s beautiful!

7/7-8/23 We stayed at this clean, comfortable, and charming studio cottage to be close to our niece’s wedding in Niuli’i. The sounds of the coqui frogs, light rain, and cool breeze lulled us to sleep. The view of the yard from the picture window each morning was relaxing, too. Peggy was friendly and accommodating the moment she greeted us upon arrival. She offered eggs from her chickens and fruit from her trees. On our final morning, Peggy brought over freshly baked breakfast cookies and two types of papaya. What a delightful surprise that was! Given the opportunity, we would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing a piece of your tranquil paradise!

My husband and I spent 5 days on the Big Island prior to going to a family reunion on Maui.
We participated and enjoyed the following activities on the north end of the island: King Kamehameha I Day (was within walking distance of the ceremony/statue), aikido (Aikido of Kohala), hiking, and snorkeling.
Our hosts, Peggy and Ken, were excellent. Present if we needed anything but not intrusive. Beautiful property.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was well located for sightseeing on this part of the island and near to dining and shopping. The grounds were delightful and hidden from the main road. Peggy was gracious, accommodating and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Spectacular grounds with sweeping lawn and big trees and lots of interesting plantings. The chickens and ducks were fun to watch too. A well appointed casita with large windows and great views of the yard. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

We have been to the Big Island many times, but it was our first stay in Kapua. It won’t be our last! We had a quiet peaceful stay on Peggy and Ken’s beautiful farm. They were such gracious, kind people that shared food and farm tales. It’s such a peaceful place to unwind, would highly recommend.

The hosts, Peggy and Ken, were delightful and made us feel so welcomed during our 4 week stay. The little suite was really quite nice and totally functional given its compactness. We
recommend this listing for anyone wanting to enjoy the Big Island while staying away from the congestion of Kailua Kona city. Highpoints of the trip are many but meeting Peggy and Ken has got to be the top of that list.

We received a recommendation from our neighbor for the farm and we are so glad we booked our stay. Peggy was so very welcoming and informative; we so enjoyed the area and the fresh squeezed OJ. We will book a future visit!

Cute little town of Hawi nearby, quiet an away from hustle of Kona. Great access Rds to Waimea / Hamakua Coastline. Very highly recommended stay!

We loved this tranquil farm setting hear Hawi in the northern Kohala region of the big island. And our hosts were super hospitable and helpful. The roomy studio had everything we needed and was also cutely decorated and very clean. We'll definitely recommend to others and likely come back here ourselves on our next Hawaii adventure!

We loved our stay at the Cozy Corner Cottage on Kappau Gulch Farms! Peggy was a wonderful host and greeted us, provided a binder with local eats and maps, and a fully stocked cottage. The property is directly across from a local grocery store, as well as a 5 minute drive to Hawi or Kappau. There are great restaurants in either town, and there is the opportunity to see the sunrise over the Polulu Valley, as well as hike down to the black sands beach and up the trail, if you enjoy a steady climb as long as it's dry!
The cottage is exactly as pictured with a full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom in a studio separate from the host's house and attached to the garage, though you'd never know and this would not have deterred us from staying. We had fresh fruit and tea made on the farm and also had a lovely farm tour from Peggy.
We highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a full immersion of the Big Island, living like a local, and wants some peace and quiet! We'll be back again!

It was a treat to stay at Peggy and Ken's lovely studio in Kapaau. One of their other guests described it as "way cuter in person than the pictures can express" and I agree! I can't remember the last time I felt so taken care of by hosts -- especially great for us as we don't get to come to Hawaii often and love learning more about the island. The grounds and gardens that Peggy and Ken have created really add to the experience, and Hawi, Waimea, Pololu Valley, etc. are all a stone's throw away. Definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. Lush surroundings, an island breeze and welcoming hosts made for a perfect getaway. The studio has a beautiful bay window that makes mornings magical.

Exquisite property - a perfect place to slow down and get in touch with nature. It is immaculate with a comfortable bed and everything needed for a couple to stay comfortably - we stayed for 10 days and couldn’t have been happier. It is an easy walk into Hawi and a short car jaunt along the coast to to Spencer’s Park Beach and it’s trail to the other major beaches. The owner was kind, informative, attentive and never intrusive! Highly recommend and we hope to stay there again!

Peggy is so welcoming, and her home and its surroundings is so peaceful, cozy, and just so comfortable. Peggy is a best host ever - she makes the most amazing tea, she surprised us with flowers at our door, and she even sent us home with some goodies!
My sister and I fell in love with her place, and we will definitely be staying there when were in Kapaau.
