We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the treehouse. The extensive use of wood, the cozy furnishingings, well stocked kitchen, amazing views of the rain forest and privacy. This did not feel like a basic rental, there were loving touches everywhere that made it feel like a home. The bed was so comfy and the towels were thick and luxurious. An unexpected syrprise were the nice bathrobes. The treehouse is super clean and the windows sparkle! We would definitely stay here again!

Tree house on the big island!

What a beautiful home in such a quiet location. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing a few meals. We ate out quite a bit too. And we got to see the volcano eruption! We will stay here again if we return to the big island!!!

Fantastic Location and Place

We really loved this place. You felt secluded and could see the night sky. When the volcano erupted we were able to see the glow in the sky at night. Very beautiful and elegantly rustic. I would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Jungle Retreat!

This is a very special place! The accommodations were immaculate. Serenity permeated from inside and out! It was obvious that so much thought and love was put into this retreat!!! Well and tastefully furnished! Beautiful jungle views from every window! Close and easy access to the amazing Volcanoes National Park. Our only regret was we didn’t book longer! This was truly an awesome experience and we can’t recommend it enough !

That was a cozy and nicely laid out place, with an artistic touch. It is 10 minutes away from the Volcano park. We absolutely enjoyed staying in this cabin located in the midst of the beautiful fern forest, it was an unforgettable experience for us.

Charming and unique

The treehouse was very comfortable and clean. There were lots of personal touches that make this place very unique and interesting. Situated in a densely wooded area, there is only one neighboring property visible so we felt we had great privacy. If you are coming in after sunset, be sure to follow their directions and have a flashlight you can shine on the mailboxes for the house numbers.

Surrounded by trees in the rainforest, you can listen to the rain falling all night. 10 min away from the entrance to Volcano National Park! Clean and well stocked.

Beautiful environment

This tranquil and enchanting place in the middle of the trees is very unique and worth a visit. The views of the natural environment from all aspect of the house are beautiful. The inside was well appointed with nice hardwood floors. We had breakfast outside every day. The house is located next to Volcano NP and an easy drive to Hilo.

Serene getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved the tree house. The location was great, the gardens stunning and the silence (notwithstanding the birds and frogs!) was bliss. My only recommendation would be to advise guests to stock up on groceries before leaving Hilo. There is very little in Volcano and what is there is terribly expensive.

A beautifully appointed home in a magical setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Maile Treehouse was an ideal place for two couples to stay when visiting Big Island for the first time. Having coffee on the lanai in the mornings afforded us wonderful views of birds in the area. The grounds provided a magical and tranquil setting in which to relax. The home itself was beautifully designed and decorated. It was equipped with every convenience one could imagine... including a bidet in the bathroom. We wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely visit again. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful experience.

Our family truly enjoyed this rental, it’s location, and the games provided for family nights. We hiked in the park two days and drove the southern coast one day, each night coming back to a warm comfortable setting to enjoy family game night. We were able to make breakfast each morning before heading out and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep after long days of exploring. One item of note, not a complaint, just a heads up, the local diners are few and the hours should be looked at in advance. The grocery stores close early so planning ahead for meals is important. The restaurants we enjoyed were wonderful and the service was gracious. You’ll just need to be intentional on when you eat out and when you fix something at the treehouse. Wonderful experience!

lovely small treehouse type accomodation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a pleasant experience but it is quite small. Really best suited to a couple or two friends- why1. the upper part is quite open in that bedroom does not have door, limited privavcy eg if someone wanted to nap you would be able to hear everyhing from living area;2. the two bedrooms are connected by an outdoor staircase- so the second bedroom and bathroom is on the ground floor, living area, kitchen and master bedroom on upper floor;- it feels as though you are quite isolated in the second ground floor bedroom- and that is all there is there- laundry is outside the unit. But the pation on the ground floor is then only accessed by walking around the home ourside, or cutting through other persons bedroomThe home was clean, easy to find (do not use google maps- follow the property's directions)Beautiful scenery; maybe the quietest place I have ever stayed ( although in the big stoirms or eathquake- both of which we experienced you feel quite "rural"- but all in a good way.No dishwasher (lol I coped- none is listed FYI) and the town of Volcano has really all your basic needs and there are some good food trucks etc.Super close to VNP-could not be closer I think- maybe 4 minutes?Overall a lovely stay but was not quite what I expected- I may not have paid enough attention to the description.A lovely quiet, naturey stay, close to VNP. Just not quite what I expected- but would stay again.

Excellent accomodations! The day we arrived was rainy and the Treehouse was so cozy, perfect to curl up and read a book. The location was excellent for hiking Volcano thee next morning and then popping back at night to see the lava. Also great location for visiting Panalu'u, a black sand beach with turtles!
