Eva Parker Woods Cottage

Historian Danny Akaka Jr.

Situated beside the historic fishponds at Mauna Lani Resort is the Eva Parker Woods Cottage. It was here amongst the palms and fishponds that Francis H. I‘i Brown spent much of his time with his sweetheart, Winona Love, the acclaimed Hawaiian hula dancer and beauty. The Eva Parker Woods Cottage today is a favorite site for Hawaii weddings and romance. History buffs will also enjoy the modest but unique exhibit that opens a window into the simpler era of Brown and his royal Hawaiian ancestors. The cottage contains displays on the ancient Hawaiian canoe, fishing gear, household items, spears and gourds. At the cottage you are likely to meet Mauna Lani’s resident historian, Danny Akaka Jr. who is happy to offer tours of the cottage and fishponds.
