We stayed in the beautiful Garden Room for our 5th wedding anniversary. Markie and Jerry were great hosts. The home sits on 3 acres of lush forest with many fruit and flowering trees. We enjoyed easy access to Pahoa and the Puna District as well as the B&B amenities. We appreciated the jetted tub in the room, the shared hot... more

I stayed in the Orchid Room. I wasn't quite prepared for the intense humidity but I got used to it after a while and rather enjoyed it once I got used to it. I liked having a DVD player in my room. I watched a few of the movies that Jerry & Markie keep in the common area for guests... more

The location is good for visiting Volcano and Hilo area. They provide a basic breakfast (nice granola) and some equipment. The place is clean and quite, and our stay was nice. You will be bitten by mosquitos, although all the nets are in a good condition. Also, the kitchen is in the common area which is inconvenient. Nice overall. more

We stayed 3 nights at Art and Orchids B and B and after three nights were we just not ready to leave! When planning the trip we wanted to stay near Volcano National Park and Hilo but off the beaten path - about 15 minutes to Hilo, 10 to Pahoa, 30 to Volcano Nat'l park. Art and Orchids was just... more

Art and Orchids was a very nice place to stay for traveling to many different areas in Eastern Hawaii. We loved the location. It was easy to get to many different toursity places including the volcanoes, lava flows, Hilo, and parks. The breakfasts were buffet style and had a variety of fresh fruits and breads to choose from. They were... more

Oh Man! This place is great. It’s secluded in a beautiful jungle/garden-like atmosphere. We enjoyed awesome fresh, organic breakfast everyday. Each morning during a community breakfast the guests engaged in interesting conversation about the previous day’s adventures. We also had the pleasure of getting to know our fun and knowledgeable hosts. They were always willing to provide us with whatever... more

Arts and Orchids was a pleasant surprise. My wife and I looked forward to the fresh fruit and eggs at breakfast. Our host was informative and very willing to help in any way to make sure our stay was pleasant. more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Art and Orchids for 2 nights while we were visting the Hilo side of the Big Island. After researching the property and finding all very positive reviews I was eager to get there for our first night. It was pretty easy to find and the directions that Markie and Jerry give you are very... more

Markie is a great hostess - good local food, great advice on places to go and things to do and fun discussions about local food and art at breakfast. Great location if you are doing both Hilo and Puna activities. May not be an ideal location if you plan to spend more time north of Hilo than south and are... more
