Art and Orchid provides the ideal tropical location away from the commercialized Hawai'i. My husband and I stayed at the beginning of February 2012 and ran out of time to do everything we wanted. Markie and Jerry are great hosts. Besides providing extensive knowledge and information on the island and area (two guide books and a Puna-area tour Markie wrote... More

We stayed at Art and Orchids for two nights to visit the Puna area and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. To begin, the location was perfect. Volcanoes National Park was only about a 35 minute drive away, very easy. And Markie and Jerry are so friendly and helpful! Immediately upon arrival, Markie gave us information and advice on a tour of... More

We chose this B&B for a four day visit to see the volcano, Hilo and Puna coast and were very pleased to find the location so central to everything. It is important to follow Markie's directions however, because it is in a rural area, off the beaten path. Every day begins with a delicious breakfast including an egg dish, bacon... More

Art and Orchids is a gem, and we could not have been happier with our stay there. Though the drive in is a bit disconcerting, don't give up...your treasure awaits behind the mosaic covered columns at the end of the road. This place is clean, charming, and comfortable. We stayed in the Rainbow Room, which has a comfy bed and... More

Absolutely loved this B&B located in what's basically the middle of nowhere. Markie & Jerry and their dogs and cats are all super friendly, with tons of tips about nearby attractions. We stayed in the garden room which is downstairs, our first visit to the Big Island. The room is way bigger than you need for 2 people - excellent... More

Art and Orchids is a wonderful B and B in a rainforest! Easy to access via rental car and provided directions. Markie was a really warm and welcoming hostess who takes the time to put in the little details that made our stay special. We loved that she served a variety of tropical fruits fresh from the garden for the... More
