Facilities: Waterfalls Inn is a fully restored 1916 mansion built for elegant living. Your hosts, George and Barbara Leonard, have recently remodeled this lovely house so that your stay is luxurious and restful. The house, designed in 1915 by Honolulu architects Ripley & Davis, has been restored to its original beauty with a few modern enhancements. Each of the four bedrooms has a private bath, with whirlpool tubs in two of the four guestrooms. The original ohia hardwood floors on the first floor are polished and the wavy glass windows are repaired. The first growth fir floors on the second floor have been brought back to their original luster. Much of the original lighting fixtures from 1916 have been rewired and retained, along with new ceiling fans that have been installed in each guest room. The house has no air conditioning because of the unique design that catches the trade winds off the Pacific Ocean and / or the cool breezes off Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. You will need the down blankets at night to keep warm! The grand salon living room has a fireplace that can be used in "winter" when the temperature dips to the low 60's (F) at night.
Aloha, George and Barbara Leonard
