As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Many people are unaware of the Aloha State’s fascinating paniolo — or Hawaiian cowboy — history, and even more surprised about the sheer number of incredible ranches, farms, and agricultural ventures you’ll find throughout the state. If you want to take your paniolo adventure to the next level, we suggest an overnight stay at this cozy inn found on the northern tip of Hawaii Island in the charming town of Waimea. 

Welcome to the always enchanting Kamuela Inn! Nestled in the heart of Hawaii Island’s paniolo country, this peaceful, 30-room boutique hotel is one of the best options for travelers looking to experience the island’s true charm.
