Enjoy the country life in Kau on the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 19 acres on Road to the Sea, which has a remote green sand beach at the end of the road (4 miles down from us). We call our slice of paradise, Honua Laa (a sacred place). Straight down to the coast is a beautiful black and green sand beach and a huge tide pool. Rent a four-wheel-drive to get there, but you don’t need 4WD to get to our place, but you do need to rent an SUV or truck with high clearance. No sedans. Go slow the road is rough and bumpy in places..
Off the grid. Rustic, but fun. If you are a Eco tourist or seeking adventure, you will love our spot!
The silence is golden and the stars are amazing.
Don't expect a hotel...this is upcountry glamorous camping.
It's one-of-a-kind! Most of the parcels are 20 acre parcels around… But a few smaller parcels across the road. We have nice neighbors who keep an eye on things.
The nearest grocery store is about 3 miles away. The Hele-On Bus is just 1.2 miles up the road. If you want to drive to the green sand beach at the end of our road, rent a 4 wheel drive. If you are athletic, you can walk, but it is 4 miles down and 4 miles back. I recommend going early in the morning and take water.
Hot water shower is propane. Bring ice for your ice chest. Bring drinking water. There is a gas grill and propane single burner. Bathroom has manual flush toilet,.
This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. You can charge your phone and have a lamp in your cabin. No wifi. I use ATandT and I understand that Verizon and T-Mobile work here also.
The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing!
Our glamping cabins are in the front 3 acres. The back 17 acres is an old Ohia forest with 500 year old trees and lots of birds. You might even see a wild goat or a wild pig. There are small caves and gorgeous rock formations. It backs up to Manuka Forest Reserve.

Sleep under the stars on the slopes of the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa. Located at 3700’ on a 250 year old lava flow, enjoy camping in a native forested lot that is accessible by 2WD vehicle.
This is a great base location to enjoy activities on the south side of Big Island, including Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, Papakolea (Green Sand Beach), Punalu’u (Black Sand Beach), and Ka Lae (South Point). Break up your island wide cruise and spend more time in scenic Ka’ū, one of the last bastions of old Hawai’i.
Mutiny Farms is 100% off-grid. There is currently no power available at either site. You will need to bring flashlights and rechargeable battery packs if you require any portable power.
The property is about a 15 minute drive to Ocean View town center, and about an hour to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Ocean View is the only community between Captain Cook and Volcano with restaurants, grocery stores, and other amenities.
There are dogs, cats, and peacocks living on the farm. There are a variety of native and food plants growing on the property. At this elevation, the climate can be quite chilly, so please come prepared for the weather.
We are happy to provide guided adventures in your personal or rental vehicle, or provide information to enhance your adventure.
Your booking helps us continue to improve the property, which is dedicated to food sustainability for the district of Ka’ū.

Stone & Sky Homestead
4. Stone & Sky Homestead
Hawaiian Ocean View, HI · 1 site
Welcome to Stone & Sky Homestead, a secluded off-grid retreat tucked into the raw lava landscapes of Kaʻū on Hawaiʻi Island. This is a place for quiet mornings, star-filled skies, creative reset, and connection to the elemental beauty of the land itself.
Wind moves through the grasses, lava fields stretch toward the horizon, and the nights are dark enough to see the Milky Way overhead. The experience here is intentionally simple, grounded, and deeply tied to the rhythms of the island.
The property is home to small off-grid structures, open skies, local birds, and a slow-living atmosphere designed for rest, reflection, art, writing, exploration, and adventure. Guests are within driving distance of South Point, Green Sands Beach trail access, Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, Kaʻū coffee country, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
Your stay supports a working homestead lifestyle centered around sustainability, creativity, and respectful relationship with the land. Expect a more rustic and authentic Hawaiʻi experience rather than a polished resort environment.
Whether you’re here to explore the island, unplug for a few days, watch the stars, drink coffee in the morning breeze, or simply experience the quiet of the lava fields, Stone & Sky Homestead offers space to breathe and reconnect.

Weekend Trip to Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
What a unique and remarkably peaceful place. The yurt was extremely comfortable, including the bed, and the hosts were very kind. We would 100% stay here again if we were in the area. Our two-wheel SUV did okay but we needed a little momentum to get up out of the property back onto the road. We did not attempt to take it down to the green sand beach. Definitely stay here to get away from the crowds and absolute silence aside from the sound of rain on the rooftop when it comes and tons of lovely birds.

1 night at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
Lovely stay, I wish we had more than one night. The stars at night were so clear. We didn't meet Debbie in person but she was so kind, attentive, and quick to respond and check-in with us. They've clearly put a lot of thought and care into both the set-up of the cabin and the surrounding area, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The scenery was like being on Mars. The night we stayed was so very windy we had to make sure our items weren't being blown away - part of the fun!! Definitely check the weather ahead of time if you're wanting to do a campfire. The hot outdoor shower was the best we had on Big Island and so welcome with this chilly weather. The green sand beach was so much fun to visit but you definitely need 4x4. The approach road to the campsite is not bad at all, just go slow and make sure you get groceries etc. in advance/early as the area's quite remote.

3 nights at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
My man friend and I stayed at the Coco Hut just as it was coming back online after a period of less frequent hosting. We were lucky enough to spend three nights here in a surreal landscape of lava rock, intermittently spaced okai trees, breeze, sky, and, at night, an aggressively loud set of stars. That's the only loud thing about this place as it is otherwise incredibly serene and peaceful. As people who were intending to camp, we were super comfortable in a big bed in a clean little rondavel / yurt/ cabin with a detached rustic toilet area. Thoughtful touches with a disproportionately wide reach started with warm hospitality and responsiveness by our hostess, Debbie, and extended to the cooler (stocked with enough ice for the first night), the outdoor shower stocked with all of the toiletries one would need, a propane burner, a cleaning station for dishes, two serviceable knives and a cutting board, & two each of utensils/plates/mugs.
The location is close to very cool outdoors activities. We enjoyed driving and then walking the rest of the way down the increasingly ROUGH Road to the Sea to check out the green sand beach, as well as an excellent tour of the volcanically created lava tubes, Kula Kai Caverns. At the caverns, you can go on a low commitment, short tour or a longer tour billed at $98 for 2 and 1/2 hours. We chose the latter and had a deep reveal in all senses of the word under the care and education of can tour guide Mo. Wonderful stay w/ great folks!

3 nights at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
Comfortable bed, beautiful view, very remote. David was a great host! Very friendly! Everything worked as described. The stars were beautiful and the sky was vast. Great place to stay if you're not scared of a little off-roading and "roughing it"!

Kristina's site allows you to experience the volcanic landscape similar to what you would see while driving through the volcano park nearby, but with the simplicity of being able to car camp instead of requiring any backcountry gear or long hikes.
