About this property

3.6-Acre Hawaiian Forest Retreat, King Suites, Hot Tub, AC

Secluded on 3.6 acres of lush Hawaiian forest, this 1,295 sq ft custom-built home offers a peaceful and private East Hawaiʻi retreat. At about 900 feet elevation, guests enjoy cooler temperatures, tropical breezes, native forest surroundings, birdlife, stargazing, and a true sense of seclusion.

Highlights include:

→ Solar + Tesla Powerwall backup
→ Forest views, patio, and hot tub
→ Portable AC in every room
→ 2 king beds with ensuite bathrooms
→ Well-equipped kitchen
→ UV-filtered, purified rainwater
→ Smart TV + DVD collection
→ Onsite washer and dryer
→ 200 Mbps WiFi

Designed for couples, families, or small groups seeking privacy, space, and nature immersion, the home combines comfort and practicality in a beautiful tropical setting. AC is available in all rooms and is supported by rooftop solar and Tesla Powerwall backup for added resilience in changing island weather.

Sleeping arrangements include 2 king beds, including one flexible split-configurable setup, plus 1 fold-out futon.

You’ll also find self check-in via lockbox, easy onsite parking, beach essentials, a coffee maker, blender, ceiling fans, and generously sized screened windows throughout the home.

This is also a family-friendly space, with a crib/Pack ’n Play, children’s dinnerware, books, and board games.

The location is ideal for exploring East Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty and local favorites. Nearby attractions include:

→ Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park: about 30 minutes
→ Hilo Airport: about 25 minutes
→ Paradise Cliffs: about 17 minutes
→ Kaleo’s Bar & Grill: about 10 minutes
→ Hilo beaches and snorkeling: about 30 minutes
→ Black sand beach and volcanic hot ponds: about 45 minutes

Road access note: the final stretch of road is unpaved. Most guests do fine in a standard vehicle by driving slowly and carefully, though an SUV or Jeep is recommended for added comfort.

The home is eco-conscious as well, with triple-purified rainwater, solar-heated showers, and low-scent vegan toiletries. While we prioritize eco-friendly products whenever possible, the home is professionally cleaned between stays.

Please note that this is a private home in a peaceful setting, not a hotel. If anything comes up during your stay, we will do our best to assist as quickly as possible, though we are not on-site 24/7.

Host profile image
Aloha — We live on the Big Island and love sharing this beautiful side of East Hawaiʻi with guests. Our goal is to provide a peaceful, comfortable home base that feels welcoming and easy to settle into. We value clear communication, a smooth arrival experience, and the thoughtful details that help a stay feel relaxed and memorable. We’re also always happy to share local tips for exploring the island.

Why they chose this property

We love this part of East Hawaiʻi for its peaceful forest setting, cooler elevation, and laid-back local feel. It offers a quieter, more spacious side of the island while still being well located for exploring Hilo, Pāhoa, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. It’s the kind of area where you can head out for adventure during the day, then come home to something calm, private, and immersed in nature.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home special is the combination of privacy, comfort, and nature on 3.6 secluded acres of Hawaiian forest. Guests enjoy a custom-built home with 2 king suites, a hot tub, portable AC in every room, solar + Tesla Powerwall backup, and peaceful forest surroundings with birdlife, stargazing, and cooler temperatures. It’s designed to feel relaxing, private, and deeply connected to East Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty.
