Superb
Liked: Such a unique experience. Raven and Mark's place is in the woods right near what used to be the beach but is now old lava flow. We had the guest suite and the space was large, with a huge private garden attached where you could shower outdoors. The frogs and birds were loud but somehow relaxing. Breakfast was the most amazing fruit plate, along with some fresh yogurt (and anything else you might want). Raven and Mark know so much about the island and it's history, volcanic and otherwise. The fridge was stocked with fruit and other treats for us, and there were any toiletries we needed. We felt like we were staying with old friends in some sort of garden paradise.
Disliked: It was a bit of a hike (~15 minute drive) to get dinner. Finding the place, especially in the dark, can be a bit of a challenge the first time.

Hawaiian hospitality to the MAX!
Liked: Off the beaten track, but close to town amenities- exactly what we were looking for! The breakfast was spectacular! Raven and Mark were very knowledgeable about the area and steered us to some beautiful spots to explore! We were able to walk out to the recent lava flows from their property to watch the waves crash on the cliffs.
Disliked: We loved it all!

Pure Big Island feeling
Liked: This location is heaven on earth. If you fancy 4-star hotels, this is not the right place for you but for all others, it's just great. The amazing oceanfront! The waves you hear crashing when you are in your room! The sounds at night! The geckos for breakfast! The incredible hospitality of Raven and Mark! We actually got married at this amazing, magic oceanfront and Raven was so helpful in all aspects. She took incredible care of us and our plans even before we arrived. We will never forget that - thank you so much, Raven!! She is just born to make her guests happy. So if you plan an elopement on Big Island - go for it and to Raven's place!
Disliked: We loved every bit and felt very welcome.

Superb
Liked: Having breakfast with geckos, seeing fresh ginger flowers outside every day, feeling like princesses in our mosquito-net beds, hearing the frog symphony at night. Such a cool bathroom too.
Disliked: Leaving. As soon as we left this place my friend and I were going "we miss Raven!"

Outstanding B&B
Liked: Excellent breakfast, magnificent location if you want to get away from the daily grind. Raven and Mark are outstanding hosts and will go out of their way to ensure their guests get the perfect holiday. Raven has a million stories to tell, and Mark helped us understand the local customs with great insights in living on the island.
Disliked: Nothing!
