There was so many great things to say, I’ll just touch on the highlights. 1. Secluded and quiet. The property is well off the beaten path. This allows for beautiful clear night skies and amazing sounds from birds and critters night and day. 2. Off grid and minimalist. This is certainly our style and the property didn’t disappoint. 3 Excellent communication and friendly hosts. Nothing to add here. It was a pleasure working with them. 4. Adorable cottage. The photos don’t do it justice. Rose cottage is cute and quaint. We would definitely recommend this stay. Thank you for a great experience
Owners were amazing and the property was old school hawaiian. The lush property and drive down papaya farms road was incredible! Couldnt have asked for better place to stay!
They have created an amazing space. The location is secluded, far away from the noise of cities. It was by far the most relaxing vacation stay. The owners were friendly and respectful of our privacy. You cannot stay there without noticing the respect, understanding and kindness they have for the land and animals.
Fantastic place. One of the best sounding places I have ever slept.
Beautiful, off grid, comfortable cabin with beautiful rainforest surroundings and amazing night sounds. We loved everything about it and it was just what we wanted. Pahoa is a cool community . Why would anyone ever stay in a hotel when there are places like these?
Staying on the papaya farm was a rustic refreshing change. Sleeping to the sounds of tree frogs and birds was lovely. Our hosts were great. The only issue we had was this property is listed as handicap accessible. I hope the host removes this before someone who is really handicapped rents it. There were rocky steep steps going into the cabin (the host gave us a sheet of plywood to lay down, but it was too steep for the wheelchair). There was also gravel going from the bedroom to the kitchen (wheelchair sank), as well as a couple steps. Luckily, I am able to get out of my chair and crawl, but many handicap people do not have that option.
We are Hopeful Roots. A couple and now family who came to Hawaii to live the dream of homesteading. Coming from the suburbs of New York, we have learned first hand a lot on our food independence journey. Our intention is to help others grow food no matter where they call home. We love showing this beautiful island and her delicious foods to people. We love inspiring others in off grid eco living.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is full of earth conscious off grid folks like ourselves. We are all committed to live a life more closely connected to nature. Our neighborhood attracts a lot of woofers, work traders and guests who've come to see what living with minimal inputs can look like.
What makes this property unique
Honestly, I think it's our hospitality and eagerness to share this way of life that makes our property unique. The gorgeous fruit trees, gardens, fun farm animals and star gazing just enhance the atmosphere.
