TARA COTTAGE

BIG ISLAND, KEALAKEKUA Here, dear reader, it is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe, and one wants to share the address with only the closest of friends. Therefore it comes as no surprise to learn that Michael Sisk, the owner, originally built and furnished this redwood and cedar octagonal house for himself. He now lives out of view in a second cottage on this ten acre parklike property in the agricultural Kona coffee country, with a dreamlike view of Kealakekua Bay and the shoreline of South Kona. Michael's dream cottage is for those select people in search of a special place for complete peace and tranquility.

They may simply rest in the queen size bed below a cathedral-like high ceiling with a skylight. Or choose to watch videos, listen to music, or select a book from his excellent library. One may also prepare a meal in the perfectly appointed kitchen. Or sit on the balcony and gaze at the stars. A special adventure is the open air shower in a lava rock grotto. Shielded by bamboo in the easterly direction, the sunrise here provides for the ideal beginning of each day.
