About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Off-Grid Rainforest Retreat
Our property is located 30 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
We hope you will choose to stay with us if you're planning to explore the National Park and enjoy the peace and quiet of a remote location and understand off-grid living.
We get 300 inches of rain a year on average, so you'll be happiest at our place if you enjoy the sound of rain on the roof while you sleep.
Our elevation is 1900 feet. You will want to bring warm clothes - 55⁰ at night is colder than it sounds!
Your cabin features a queen size bed, queen size air mattress, a space heater, ceiling fan, floor fan, & open space for yoga & stretching. Relax & start your day with a complementary cup of coffee or hot tea on your lanai.
Amenities include private outdoor restroom with a sink, flushing toilet, and hot shower.
The purple cabin is your private space.
We will be sharing the kitchen with you, but will always yield to you. Thank you for being mindful of shared use when you are in the kitchen.
You're also welcome to prepare & enjoy meals in our screened communal & well-stocked kitchen, where you'll feel close to nature with lots of space for meal prep & dining.
We provide coffee and tea, and occasionally have farm fresh eggs as well (feel free to verify that our chickens are laying before you shop).
While you won't find a tv in your cabin, we do have cards, board games, books, and wifi. We have an incredible view of the Milky Way from our driveway, and are happy to let you stargaze with our telescope, weather permitting.
We live on-site, and enjoy sharing recommendations, space, and stories if you're into that type of thing.
Optional add-ons include transportation, on-site laundry, and massage sessions with a Hawaii-licensed therapist. If you would like to do a load of laundry during your stay, just let us know. We're happy to switch it over while you are out adventuring.
It is VERY HUMID in the rainforest - rain is in the name. You are welcome to refresh your wet towels in the dryer if the sun isn't shining to dry them - please check with us first as we are powered by solar.
Our newest add-on: a meal prepared while you adventure. Maximize your time on island and let us cook for you!
* You do NOT need a four wheel drive vehicle to navigate our gravel road.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk. Change of towels is available on request.

Sweet Rainforest Retreat
We loved the full kitchen. Was really quiet. We really appreciated Misty working with us on an extended stay.
Totally unique off grid experience smack in the middle of the jungle. Think tiny house meets summer camp! Misty, the property host, gave an excellent introduction to the property and amenities. Her knowledge of flora and fauna enhanced our experience. Don’t worry about trading comfort for rural retreat. Our bedroom cabin was super clean, warm, appointed with quality linens and towels, and worked well for the four of us. This is a must do experience you won’t stop thinking about.
