Houten huisjes in Big Island

A quiet, clean and private space in the Big Islands most beautiful place. Conveniently located near the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, while remaining a safe distance away, allowing me to rest peacefully on an active volcano! Did you see the part about the hot tub? Enjoy the sounds of forest birds from the warmth of a bubbling jacuzzi, beneath the Hawaiian moonlight, shadowed in the canopy of an old growth forest. Sip a glass of your favorite fermented grape juice, locally made just a stones throw away. The Ohu Bean coffee truck down the road serves up the best espresso and lattes around. I hope you enjoy your stay, I sure did.

One word to describe this property was “breathtaking!” I didn’t realize I was getting a jungle resort! This property had character at every stop…cabin, private lanai, hot tub, pool, sunrise/sunset deck with ocean view, outdoor kitchen, outdoor showers…. I enjoyed watching the wild pigs and roosters frequent our fenced in view, as well as petting Psych (one of many) tame cats. We enjoyed eating fresh mango and bananas off the trees! We look forward to bringing our entire family back to this home away from home! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us! Hands down this property beats any condo or resort with it’s charm and island feel!

Just cute as a button and so darn restful inside! Kitchen is top notch. Beds were very comfortable. Lighting is a nice touch and fittingly relaxing like everything else about this place. Deck is covered ensuring outdoor evenings. It’s VERY close to Volcanos National Park and makes it very easy to explore that place. When you’re not exploring this is a terrific place to put your feet up. Bring some good cause you’ve got a great kitchen and there aren’t a lot of amazing options in town. Stop at a farmers market, get yourself some Ka’u or Kona coffee, and come relax!!

Looks just like the photos! The place was cute and had all the amenities described. Would stay again!

I took my wife here for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved the place! It was very well cared for, had everything we needed including snorkel gear, was very clean, and quite peaceful. The roads are easy to drive and it is not far from the airport. We were treated with fantastic coconut water, chocolates, and champagne! The hot tub was also awesome and we enjoyed our evenings there. Sundara is great!

If you are going to be in this side of the Big Island this airbnb is a must! Love the place!! I wish we would have stayed longer! First of all what a paradise, very cute and clean. Love the outdoor shower and of course all the amenities. I personally enjoyed walking up in the morning have a cup of coffee in the porch and at night returning from all our sightseeing and enjoy the hot tub while listening to the frogs and the birds outside. Our host was very proactive and return a message promptly even though I was not expecting it. Thank you for everything!

Great place, very close to the park entrance- a little off the grid, but plenty of heaters and blankets and a great base camp. Gary was very responsive and helpful

Magical jungle living close to the Volcano National Park. Dawn is a wonderful and friendly host whose put a lot of love into her jungle property and it shows. The outdoor bathroom was excellent, kitchen well stocked and falling asleep every night listening to the sounds of nature made it a wonderful place to explore the Hilo side of the Big Island. Adding on the Hot Tub was a great perk after a long day at the park. My partner and I also loved chatting with Dawn and meeting her resident pups! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a true jungle experience in Hawaii.

Our stay was amazing, and Saige was so kind and responsive, she has a wonderful spirit 🙏🏻💙 everything was exactly as we expected, the room was perfect, a wonderful breeze, most windows were screened, and the rain on the roof was divine. The living area/porch was wonderful too, an amazing view and room for 2 to comfortably spend time together. We had friendly (brave) geckos, and the sound of the curtains blowing was calming. The geodesic dome was peaceful, expansive, and simple, room to create an alter, meditate, and spend time laying and enjoying the peace and quiet. Saige created another space under the trees to relax in the coolness of the shade, surrounded by lush vegetation that felt cozy. The bathroom/shower were lovely as well. The neighborhood isn’t walkable (as we expected) and was very private with only a small handful of cars we noticed during our 3-night stay. We had a few hiccups with the power/water pump that Saige promptly troubleshot and was very accommodating. 🌟🌟🌟

Kirpal is a fantastic place, with a real community vibe. I'd highly recommend it as a place to getaway and embrace your mind, body, soul and connect with new people and the environment. It's off the beaten track, so having a car is preferable. Take advantage of the yoga classes and vegan meals, they are fantastic. Befriend the other guests and workers, they'll become your family after a few days. Make sure you ask before eating the fruit from the orchard, some isn't safe/ready.

Holly’s Place was very beautiful and secluded and serene. We loved the surrounding forestry and the amenities! She was very communicative and brought us some yummy fresh eggs! We enjoyed our short stay and highly recommended it. Well worth the price. Yes the roads here in Hawai’i are pretty treacherous. Just follow her instructions well and it’ll be no problem to get there.

A great peaceful place in Fern Forest on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Love how peaceful and wonderful the wildlife was such as birds, frogs and chicken surroundings the property. The property was also was surrounded by beautiful vegeation. The host was very responsive to replacing the broken TV and address the wire that fell in front of gate during a windynight. Highly recommend the property to the people visiting the Hawaii Island.

The pictures on the site don’t do it justice!! The views from here were fantastic! I loved the sounds of sheep and frogs at night. Even in a drought the place is magical! One additional note- this home is spotless. With all the natural wood I would have expected a little dust or a cobweb- and it was shiny and clean!!

Wonderful stay! Private, peaceful, gorgeous views. The Mango hut was added bonus to sit with morning coffee. Close to local beaches and close enough to Kona. We experienced local Hawaii, outdoor bathroom, the song of the frogs, the slower pace. All that we imagined.

I would say that this location is not for everyone - as Louise states very clearly. We loved it! But it is definitely a little rustic outside. The inside is very clean with a funky decor. The amenities are great if you have a small child with you - lots of toys for them to play with. There were chickens and baby rabbits to see and a great tree to climb. We had a very nice time and Louise was very attentive but respectful of our privacy.

One of the best places I’ve stayed in the Volcano area. I travel up here a lot, coming every time Kilauea erupts as a professional photographer. Kris and Robin’s place was beautiful, thoughtfully designed and the amenities were excellent. The cabin has large glass windows that look out to the lush tropical forest. Much attention and effort has gone into maintaining the native forest species, like Hawaiian ferns and old growth O’hia, while removing the invasive ones. Something I highly appreciate. The wood burning stove was a nice feature that warmed the cabin and provided the perfect ambiance after spending all day/night chasing lava at the volcano. The kitchen appliances were nice too. The complimentary local coffee was excellent and English muffins with strawberry jam were a nice touch too. Overall this is my favoeite place I’ve stayed so far. I will certainly return and let my traveling photog friends in Hawai’i know.

We had a wonderful stay with Debi and Bob! Hosts were easy to communicate with and exceptionally kind and had plenty of recommendations for activities in the area. This Airbnb is a peaceful sanctuary, overlooking the west shore. You can get some really beautiful sunsets (and the sunrises can also be quite breathtaking). Highly recommend, would absolutely stay again. The cottage is private, clean, well stocked and very perfectly located for all sorts of activities in Kona. The pool is exquisite and are a fantastic way to cool off. Thank you so much for our perfect stay!

This was out second stay at Connie and Andrew’s Pahoa hideaway and it was just as wonderful as the first. This property is a wonderful place for a couple to spend a relaxing vacation. We spent most mornings enjoying the rental and its lush grounds. Saw the volcano eruption from the road nearby and were in volcano less than an hour later watching it in person, only hours after it started and it was done by the next morning. The “red road” in Puna was wonderful. We enjoyed Hilo and the Hamakua coast, as well as the charm of Pahoa. There is always a bit of driving to do on the Big Island and it was a respite to return to the Pahoa hideaway and relax under the stars. Thanks for another great stay. Hope to see you again soon.

This is such a tranquil and relaxing space on a beautiful part of Big Island. So close to the Volcano National Park and Hilo. The town of Volcano has some good eats and a fun art gallery. The accommodations so chill, well thought out, and just feels peaceful. You just need to be mindful of taking your own supplies of food and water from somewhere bigger like Hilo when coming here.

This is old school Airbnb at its best! A host next door, live persons to communicate with. I fully enjoyed staying there. Did not miss a thing. The tranquility, the rhythmic sounds of the frogs from sunset, the exquisite water from their own well, the ventilation was super & I'm happy there was no cold-provoking, brumming AC. A perfect get-away, still close to the main attraction which of course is the Volcano Park (40 min ride). These people are super hosts, but first and foremost very gentle people. Finding the address was no problem for me with Google. And then there's the large photo of the cute dog right by the entrance. Thank you, Bill & Anzu for a great stay♥️
