Me, my husband and our two daughters, ages 9 and 12, stayed here for a week, using an incredibly comfortable cottage as a base to explore the island. Everything was fantastic, from the basket of food, chocolate and fresh fruit, to the luxurious master bedroom. Our girls slept on twin beds in the loft. Rick and Amy were so helpful,... more

Silver Oaks Ranch is a great location for those who want to get out and experience the Big Island. It's not on the beach or anything but a convenient base to operate from if you want to cover a lot of ground while you are there. The accomodations are really nice, very clean and the hospitality from Rick and Amy... more

I heard about this place browsing online. I checked the reviews. All 5 *s. Could not find one bad or even mediocre review. We booked the place and talked to Rick and Amy. We stayed for 5 nights with another couple. WELL, THE REVIEWS ARE ALL TRUE. THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Private, quiet, great views of Kona, immaculately... more

The cottages were comfortable and the breakfast fruit from right there at the ranch, and the farm fresh eggs and other food they brought to the cottages made a great breakfast. We didn't use the pool... more

We have just returned from a week at Silver Oaks Ranch in Kailua Kona Hawaii. The "ranch" consists of the home of the owners, Amy and Rick Decker, as well as several free-standing rental units. Animals on the ranch include many miniature goats, a horse and miniature donkey, free range chickens, and a "band" of several bachelor turkeys who promenade... more

My wife and I just returned from this great setting above the main town but just a short drive to everything. We had a large cottage to ourselves with private lanai, hot tub, fully appointed kitchen. Owners Amy and Rick were very friendly and offered great advice about restaurants, where to snorkle, etc. Provided us with computer and internet access,... more

Amy was terrific at welcoming us and making us... more
