About this property
Romantic waterfall cabin in the rain forest
Your own private log cabin and waterfall! Listen to the rushing stream as it cascades over your own private 50 foot high waterfall in your own private cabin. For the writer. For the dreamer. For the romantic getaway. Be inspired, transported and immersed into our Hamakua Coast rain forest oasis. Located next to the Waipio Lookout, our rain forest property is the perfect place to recharge and rejuvenate. We’re a ten minute drive to Historical Honoka’a Town. Our "Banana Belt" climate is perfect!
This is a one of kind, unique one bedroom romantic and whimsical log cabin getaway that overlooks the Waiulili stream, gulch and waterfall. There is nothing else like it on the Island. Hand painted detailing, charming and fun, adorn the exterior walls and floor. There is a small kitchen, all original cabinetry, and includes a mini-refrigerator with freezer, toaster oven with convection function, microwave and dual infrared stovetop; dishes, silver-ware and coffee maker. It is fully furnished and cozy with a king sized bed and couch for putting your feet up and resting. There is a separate dining and office space that overlooks your private waterfall!
The bathroom has a shower overlooking the stream, and its own separate sitting area. Separate from the main room of the cabin, the bathroom is accessed by turning to the right under your private lanai.
We have HiSpeed Internet and cable TV. For the remote worker or writer, the cabin can be your live-in remote office or studio. Washer and dryer are available on premises.
Running through the middle of the property is a peaceful year round stream, molded with spiritual sized rocks and surrounded by rain forest. The stream cascades over small waterfalls among the rocks, and terminates in a dramatic 50 foot water fall. Put your feet in the water, play with the craw fish, or layout on the rocks in the sun. Listen to the rushing sound of the river, enjoy a book by the stream or explore the magical gardens that weave in and out of the gulch.
There is a shared BBQ area for your use by the stream in the gulch.
Our sunny climate is tempered by the trade winds. There is a constant breeze keeping temperatures cool, comfortable and perfect. We're a five minute walk to the Waipio Valley Lookout. Take in the majestic high valley cliffs and ocean views. Watch whales breaching with views to Maui.
Guests have access to the magic gardens, backyard to the small cabin, the front yard garden in front of the log cabin primary residence, the gulch and to views of the waterfall. There are two apartment units at the front of the property that you do not have access to, though both can be rented for additional guests.

Amazing Waterfall Cabin
We arrived later into the night and check-in was seamless and we were able to settle in quickly and starting enjoying the waterfall immediately. The whole property is just stunning, we woke up and ventured around, we took a couple days to just chill in the stream. Went into town and got vegetables, fruit, fish and meat and hunkered down for a few days. It was amazing, there is a great pellet grill that we put to work. Wonderfully fresh veggies and fruit, made a fresh fish curry and poke bowls. I can't suggest this property more. It was perfect for me and my partner. You might have to juggle appliances due to power constraints but we were careful and never ran into any issues. Can't wait to come back :D
