WINNER of 2024 Hipcamp Runner-Up for Best in Hawaii! *Update 1/1/25 We are renovated! Warning! This is a Hipcamp not a resort lol. If you love tranquility and nature this might be the spot for you! It is an open air establishment complete with lizards and yes, some bugs and even a few mosquitoes. We have new mosquito nets up and bathroom now has a cool bamboo door for privacy. Because it is open air please do not expect it to be sterile. Mahalo! 🌺 I bought this land 14 years ago and have slowly been hand clearing and building fancy forts ever since.

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, and we recommend a 4WD to get to our place, since a recent storm washed our road out. Waiting on FEMA. 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. WE HAVE WIFI. Good cell coverage. The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing! Our glamping cabins are in the front 2 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 or the mouflon sheep.

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

10/10 would recommend! Hope you’re feeling “foul” …. the natives are hungry. Be prepared for the welcoming party. The peacocks and ducks are so cute and it felt like we created a unique bond with the farm. It was hurricane Lala and she was creating quite a “whirlwind”. In the eye of the storm the peacock kept watch. I would love to upload a video bc it was surreal. Christopher and Esther were the nicest people. Gracious…kind…helpful… welcoming… they made sure we felt safe and checked in with us the entire stay. I felt like I was visiting friends or family. Truly blessed to have had this opportunity! Mahalo Christopher and Esther you two are a blessing. Stay safe…until the next time…Aloha!

6 nights at Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views

We fully enjoyed the Opihi Coastal View Cottage and lush environs during our five-day, six-night stay. The yurt was light, airy, clean, well appointed and maintained. The bed/bedding were very comfortable. The shower and toilet were a short distance from the yurt and in good working order. Jasmine and associates were excellent hosts and very knowledgeable about the agricultural and natural history of the area. We highly recommend the edible farm tour!

8 nights at Honaunau Farm

The tea house was such a lovely place stay. Absolutely beautiful views from all directions, gorgeous bird, frog, and other animal sounds - truly a place to shut out the busy world. Steve is great host - gave wonderful suggestions via his guidebook for local restaurants and other necessities, the house has the perfect amenities. Composting toilet is just a short walk away and exceptionally well maintained. Also - the outdoor shower is to die for!! I’m very afraid this may have set my bar for outdoor showers and that it might never again be reached!

We loved our experience staying at sky and stone for our week here in Hawaii. The property lays on top of lava rocks and the view of the ocean from our room is incredible. The property itself has everything you need, a clean working shower with toilet, oven with stovetop and fridge. The room has two beds but definitely enough space for 3. The host was extremely accommodating and helpful for finding local gems. Highly recommend staying here for your next trip to Hawaii!!

Donie has such a caring heart. He is so kind and went way above and beyond for me to get wifi working. He has a kind heart and a gentle soul and really wants to always do his best. You'll be in good hands staying with him! The bed was very comfortable, he treats his guests to fine linen! Egyptian cotton sheets and towels and they don't smell like scented soap. He made me coconut cream the next day for my tea and sent me off with blessings. It was a great experience to see his setup at the Lava Fields. I felt comfortable and cozy. I highly recommend giving his place a try!

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

We loved Christopher and Esther's little homestead! The location was perfect: secluded and serene, but close enough to Hilo and Volcano. The ducks and peafowl absolutely made the trip. It brought us so much joy seeing them all waddle down to our spot to greet us, even if all they wanted was for us to feed them duck food! The place was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the hosts were super helpful and friendly. Will definitely be booking this again!

My brother and dad stayed at Ohia Cabin and had such a great time! They said it was the perfect size for two people and loved how quiet and private it felt. Being surrounded by the jungle made it feel so peaceful and connected to nature. Definitely a unique and relaxing stay!

1 night at The Tranquil Homestead

Such a beautiful spot! Christopher and Esther were super lovely and showed us through the cabin. It's a little eco-paradise with everything you need as a base to explore the local area. Loved it :)

Weekend Trip to Sacred Mauna Fern Forest Retreat

I loved the cabin! So cute and bigger than I thought. Host family was very nice and welcoming and would definitely choose to stay here again.

6 nights at Cozy jungle 2-Bedroom Cabin

I loved the private location, the mesmerizing sound of the Koki frogs, the wild pigs and piglets, roosters, pheasants and chickens. The resident cats and dog were sweet and Christophe and Bonnie were just lovely people. We rented Scooters and visited many shoreline access points, and the recommendations for places to eat and check out were on point! Reading in the hammock and the hanging pod were favourites of ours, it was such a great home base for our Adventuring.

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

Thomas’ land/cottage is the perfect place for a remote, comfortable night close to Volcano National Park. He is a very gracious host and willing to assist you in any way necessary. I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, yet comfortable place to stay.

2 nights at The Tranquil Homestead

We stayed here for two nights with my wife. Even beyond what the reviews and photos show, Christopher & Esther were truly wonderful hosts, and The Tropical Duck is a beautiful place filled with charming animals. If you’ve found this place, I highly recommend staying here. The cabin had everything we needed, and everything was clean and very comfortable. We also tried the optional duck eggs for the first time—they were very large and delicious. Feeding the ducks, seeing peacocks up close, and spending time comfortably surrounded by Hawaii’s great nature was an unforgettable experience. Most of all, it made me so happy that my wife said she wished we could have stayed longer and that she wants to come back again. Next time we visit Hawaii, we’ll definitely return with our family and children. Thank you so much, Christopher & Esther!

These colorful geckos were all over (but not indoors)

Weekend Trip to Sunset Ocean View Studio

Jasmine was a wonderful host, welcoming and present without hovering. Her studio was perfectly located—close to Kona, a large grocery store and wonderful snorkeling and hiking—and it was very peaceful with bird sounds and an ocean view to the west right from the window of the screen porch for lovely sunsets. Everything was in great condition and it was spotlessly clean. The bed was super-comfortable. Jasmine’s suggestions for eating and adventuring were spot on. Just a wonderful, restorative place to stay on the Kona coast.

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

Probably the best hip camp we've stayed at yet, I could literally live out of this little cabin. The property is beautiful, the ducks and peacocks were so cute and the hosts Ester and Christopher were very kind. The only thing I'd change is that I wish we booked more nights here.

3 nights at Sacred Mauna Fern Forest Retreat

Clean cabin, helpful and responsive hosts, very quiet atmosphere. No street noise at all, just birds and rain. There are 2 dogs that can be noisy at times, and can steal your shoes if you leave them outside. Plenty of space inside to store them. Shower wasn’t working when we arrived but was fixed by the second day.

2 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

The tree frog serenade must be heard to be believed. If you're looking for an inexpensive and beautiful place to stay near Volcanoes, Yip Camp is great -- has a marine toilet, an enclosed shower with hot water, and Thomas keeps fresh batteries in numerous lanterns for you to use. They're in the middle of a fern and 'ohia tree forest. Thomas and Yip the dog are friendly and courteous. Don't be put off by the drive on a dirt road -- there are plenty of those in Big Island upcountry!
