The James Family

Our Journey

Erinn was raised in the mountains of Northern Utah and grew up hiking, mountain biking, snow skiing, camping, and exploring Utah's Fabulous Five (Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Capitol Reef NP, Bryce Canyon NP, and Zion's NP).  She is an avid travel reader, Zillow hunter, and activity planner.  She is excited to welcome you to explore the family's vacation homes and the area surrounding them, as it is a place that speaks to her and provides her with constant wonder.


Robert spent his early childhood in California's San Francisco Bay Area and his tween and teenage years living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lake Tahoe.  He owns and operates an engineering and manufacturing business that sells custom products worldwide.  In his rare spare time, he enjoys hanging out with his teenage kids, tinkering with projects, and listening to Jimmy Buffett songs.

​

Robert and Erinn are parents to three teenage children.  As a family, they first vacationed on the Big Island in 2015 and instantly fell in love.  In early 2020, the James family purchased an oceanfront home on Kalaniana'ole Street in Hilo and have been sharing it with family and friends ever since.  After hosting many Big Island visitors in their own home over the past few years, they decided to purchase two nearby vacation homes to open up their hosting ability to a larger and farther-reaching audience.
