Best little farmhouse ever!

I booked this accommodation for my visiting niece, her husband and their 6 year old son, and it did not disappoint anyone, one smidge. Within minutes of their (easily) finding the place and looking around I was texted "Ah my gosh, it's stunning!", "I'm obsessed! You have to come see it!". They enjoyed their stay immensely and found everything they needed for their time spent there or trips to the beach. I loved meeting Dale. Her talents are on full display both in house and garden, her having renovated and decorated the farmhouse - it is so comfortable and welcoming. We got a tour of the beautiful grounds the morning they departed: are they ever special! Do not hesitate to book this place. There's so much to love here. Aloha.

Paradise found!

Dale’s Vintage Farmhouse was just perfect. We stayed 8 days, using the farmhouse as our home base while we enjoyed the island. Our last day we rested at the farmhouse, just savoring the sights and sounds. Fresh squeezed oj, coquis chirping, gentle breezes blowing. We will truly miss this place.

Unique Experience!

My husband and I loved our stay in this old farmhouse. The owners have made great attempts to renovate the buildings without taking the feeling of being transported to a previous time when Hawaii was more rural and unexplored. The outside gardens are just fantastic! Take the time to enjoy them if you chose to go.

Vintage Farmhouse & Gardens

Peaceful place to relax and enjoy! “Vintage” describes perfectly with a house of character and comfort. Lots of space and quiet atmosphere. Amazing botanical garden to visit. Area has lots of sun but still cool. Dale was very hospitable and interesting to talk to about property and gardens. Well worth the stay and will return!

Very cute, and great location!

The host did a wonderful job of collecting and curating vintage pieces to create a "grandma's farmhouse" kind of vibe. Felt just like staying at my grandparents' cabin growing up. However, as with many old farmhouses, the different levels of floor did make it a little difficult to get around as a disabled person. Just go slowly, and hold onto the nearest wall. Otherwise, a comfortable stay in a serene location. Close enough to Honokaa to grab a morning malasada (or three) at Tex's Drive-In, or head over to Waimea or Hilo for shopping.

The Grounds are so beautifully landscaped by the owner and mindfully cared for by Dale and her husband. I enjoyed picking guavas from a guava tree in yard and enjoying it for breakfast! Plus I was given fresh avacados!

Amazing stay at the Vintage Farmhouse

Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about Dale and Ed’s Vintage Farmhouse. It is simply perfection in every way. From the absolutely gorgeous gardens surrounding the house to the incredibly charming vintage decor inside, this rental was truly wonderful. We so enjoyed strolling through the gardens, showering in the outdoor shower, eating meals on the deck, playing games in the cozy living area in the evenings, and falling asleep to the songs of the frogs. Magical! We hope to have an opportunity to come back one day and will absolutely recommend the farmhouse to friends and family!

Relaxing, tranquil, unique and beautiful!

My family of 4 from San Diego (daughters ages 19, 16) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Vintage Farmhouse. For three nights we cooked both breakfast and dinner and played card games. In the morning we walked the grounds and took morning walks up to the state park before our daily outings to waterfalls and volcano. Dale has thought of every detail. There is some much to see on the grounds with the plants and animals. We loved the outdoor shower and barbecuing on the charcoal grill. Amazing unique experience to get away and unplug. We loved it. Our girls left behind their swimsuits and Dale mailed them home and were here when we arrived home. I highly recommend booking this place. Mahalo for sharing your home!

Perfect Hawaiian Retreat

Our stay at the vintage farmhouse was memorable! The house and botanical gardens were outstanding, with every detail throughout a reminder that we were there to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature and each other. It’s location near Kalopa State Park and Forest Preserve made us feel as if it we were stepping back in time and experiencing Hawaii before tourism was an industry. The Vintage Farmhouse is a perfect Hawaiian Retreat.

A lovely retreat near Honoka'a

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vintage Farmhouse. Communication with the owner was easy, and she was very attentive. Dale gave us a tour of the gardens, which my husband and I appreciated very much. The home is very well equipped. It had everything that we could have needed. Fresh flowers were throughout the home when we arrived. The location is rural and quiet. The many beautiful plants on the property create a secluded oasis. Our college age son stayed in the birdhouse, and he really enjoyed that space as well. We felt this was a perfect place for us to stay for exploring the northern and eastern parts of the island. It also wasn't too far of a drive to get to sand beaches like Hapuna and Spencer's beach. Thank you, Dale. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Rainforest farmhouse

Very clean; comfy beds; fun to shower outside; fell asleep to the frogs; little traffic; within walking distance of the state recreation area; we picked oranges for breakfast. It is a bit of a haul up the mountain but then you have peace and quiet! We could come back! The communication from the hosts was helpful and timely.

absolutely stunning

We just came back From the loveliest stay. we were in Hawaii for nine days and this was our favorite home. The grounds are beautiful it was really fun to walk around the garden, the outdoor showers are amazing, the beds were very comfortable we were a group of four so we also used the birdhouse bedroom. We could see goats from our bed. everything you could need was provided including a very sweet welcome package, we cooked breakfast and dinner there because we didn’t want to leave. The town is great, if you were there on a Sunday there was a great farmers market with live music about five minutes away, it feels very local and welcoming. I would definitely suggest this place especially if you love nature and are willing to go a little bit off the beaten path. We found cane toads and other little frogs in the garden, my five year old and my 82-year-old were both so happy here.

So lush and beautiful!

What a great experience! This place is so unique and is a real treat for those who are looking for a retreatesque experience. Secluded in the rainforest, falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds (and rain!) The colors, textiles and comforting items…and the outdoor bathrooms! Pretty magical. Our toddler especially loved it, exploring the flowers and eating fresh tangerines everyday! Our father in law loved sleeping in the birdhouse casita, too! The local towns, Honokaa and Waimea, are great with the latter one offering more options. Definitely book this place for a unique experience!

The perfect peaceful retreat

I can't say enough about how perfectly thoughtful every little touch was in the vintage farmhouse. From the beautiful gardens to the well-appointed outdoor spaces, the kitchen that had everything we needed and the comfortable living and bedroom areas with plenty of windows that made it feel like sleeping in the forest... this house delivered on the perfect restful, slow-paced vacation. We did plenty of sightseeing, snorkeling, and learning around the island, but we also kind of never wanted to leave "home." If you're looking to stay in the area and for that simple life vibe, you cannot do better than this. I hope to be back.

Amazing!!!!

Stop looking and book now! We LOVED every minute of our stay at Dale’s Farmhouse. We rented both the main house and the bird house for our family of four (two adults and two teen agers) and had more than enough space: three bathrooms (!!), three beds, huge beautiful kitchen, comfy living and dining room, and gardens and outdoor space that will take your breath away. After two nights, we didn’t want to leave and are already strategizing a return…

Amazing Jungle Getaway

We had the most magical experience staying at this property in Honoka’a. It exceeded our expectations in almost all aspects. Dale provided almost everything you could need at the property to have a pleasant stay. We loved everything about this place. Highly recommend experiencing the island here. Kalopa was surreal walking through the forest, although there is no waterfall in kalopa state park as we came to find out. Honoka’a town is small quaint and beautiful. The whole Hamakua coast is just a wonderful area to experience the islands. Thank you again!
