It was a comfortable and unique place that was convenient to everything we wanted to do but isolated enough we felt like we were on our own island!

What lovely property. Comfortable bed, soft sheets, wonderfully warm semi-outdoor shower and bathroom. It came with a friendly orange kitty, and was surrounded frogs, lush jungle foliage and all wildlife sounds. Thank you!

We loved our stay here. Check in was easy, Dawn is super responsive, and the cabin is lovely. You feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle and immersed in nature: beautiful stars above and pleasant trees below.

I’m so happy you loved your stay! It means so much to hear that check-in felt easy and that you felt well taken care of throughout your visit. I do my best to be responsive so you can fully relax and enjoy your time here 😊 That feeling of being tucked into the jungle, surrounded by trees with those bright stars overhead, is exactly what I hope every guest gets to experience. It’s such a special little pocket of nature. Thank you for choosing to stay here…. I’d love to host you again anytime 🌿✨

This property is magical. We loved every minute we spent here. The outdoor shower was so refreshing with nature all around. Listening to the rain on the lanai was the highlight of my morning. Not to mention getting to pet rescue dogs and peak at rescue bunnies. I honestly wished I booked this place for at least a week instead of going back to Oahu. Will Def be back:)

Jungle vibes

If you’re looking for a jungle getaway, then this place is it. Seclusion, privacy, outdoor shower, rainforest sounds all added to the allure of the bungalow. The queen bed was comfy and there was a heater for when it got chilly at night. Would definitely stay here again.

Eco-friendly stay off the beaten path

Dawn has a lovely property within reasonable driving distance to Hilo, Volcano National Park, and beaches. If you read the description of the property and the reviews, you will not be surprised. Everything you need is there and you get a chance to interact with nature and fellow travelers. For a reasonably priced place to stay in the area, this property checks all the boxes.

My 10 year old daughter's favorite out of the 4 places we stayed, and I agree. Clean, affordable, and so charming, Tons of fruit trees and flowers, beautiful property. Great balance between eco friendly and comfortable. Guests are asked to conserve power (as location is solar powered and the location sometimes has long stretches of rain), but still great wifi, powerful fan, shampoo and body wash in the shower and a high water pressure endless hot shower. The fairy lights directing the way to each cabin was adorable. Dawn had a map of her favorite spots on the island hanging in our unit and a binder with travel activities. I appreciated that because it helped my daughter feel more involved in picking things to do. Beach towels and snorkels were available for free. Again, basic accomodations but with so many strategic amenities that made our stay super comfortable.And if you stay, opt for the hot tub! It's so worth the extra 20/day, especially after a long day hiking at VLPN or doing any of the other countless adventures on Big Island.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! Hearing that your daughter chose our little rainforest property as her favorite of the four places you stayed absolutely made me smile. 😊 I’m so glad you both enjoyed the balance of simple off-grid living with the little comforts and extras I’ve added along the way. I especially love that the island map and activity binder helped your daughter get involved in choosing your adventures! And yes….the hot tub after a long day exploring Volcanoes National Park is hard to beat. ❤️ Thank you for appreciating all the little details, and for choosing to stay with me during your Big Island adventure!

Beautiful Off Grid Property

Great, somewhat remote, totally off grid location! Perfect for a romantic getaway or a single person looking to explore the island. Outdoor bathroom/shower like nothing I've experienced! Dawn is insightful and willing to share her island knowledge... You can keep your stuffy hotel experience, I'll be back!

Jungle-like living

Manager was very nice and showed us all the fundamentals of where we were 🏝️I was here to play LavaLinks Disc Golf Course. Wonderful interaction with off grid living. Communal kitchen was great. Fresh eggs are usually available for the guests. Jungle atmosphere was nice. Really enjoyed our stay.

Rainforest cabin

This property is an unusual little gem tucked away in the rainforest. The host has created nicely appointed, comfortable guest cabins. The cabins, the shared kitchen/dining building and the grounds are well maintained and artistically decorated. The host clearly cares deeply about what she is creating for her guests.The price was quite reasonable. If you are visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the east side of the island, then I highly recommend this property. It is a bit “out of the way”, but that should be expected if you want to experience something unique like this.

Amazing place

Truly different experience especially for people who come from a city. We came home early every day so we can shower in the “jungle” watching the rain and hearing frogs. The apartment has everything you need for a short or long stay. The yard is beautiful with flowers and decorations. It definitely will make you feel like living in a rainforest. Dawn is very friendly. We had great conversation every night in the kitchen. (We seem to always have the same dinner time). Her cats and dogs are super cute. She even gave us fresh eggs from her chickens every morning!

Glamping is Accurate!

Dawn did a great job of communicating on her listing and all throughout our stay. So even if something wasn’t “perfect” we knew and that filled any gaps. Be ready for rainy season if you come at that time! We should have for sure brought some panchos and extra flashlights (Dawn still has a lot of the gap fillers like umbrella, bug spray etc). This was a great option for us as we did not want to fly with camping gear. This really was a sweet little space and we’d probably return when we visit the big island again as it’s close (and just far enough away) from Hilo and a quick drive to the volcanos.
