Enjoy the country life in Kau on the South End of the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 20 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. You don’t need a 4WD to get to our place, but you will need a SUV or truck. Go slow the road is bumpy and rough in places. We are 1.2 miles from the highway. 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. Shared bathroom (see photos) about a 100 feet away. Hipcamp kitchenette includes a propane single burner, ice chest, No fridge. No oven. We have an outdoor fire pit, if you like campfires! 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 plenty of coffee and tea in the kitchenette. Boil hot water in the kettle, put cone filter with a paper filter and ground coffee inside and on top of thermos. Drip. It's delicious! This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. No wifi. I use ATandT and I understand that Verizon and Tmobile work also The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing! The back 15 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.

Weekend Trip to Magical yurt, stunning spa bathroom

We had an absolutely magical stay at Krista’s yurt! The place truly has everything you need and the bathroom feels like a spa! The location is perfect for easy access to beaches while feeling secluded in your own farm spot worlds away from the resorts. Would recommend to anyone!

2 nights at Skyes Treehouses

It's a rustic, adventure-lovers' perfection! Our kids are 10 and this is the perfect age (I would NOT recommend kids 6 and under because the posts in between the boardwalk railings are far apart and the spiral stairs are narrow). So many cool details in this house. It is for nature lovers so if the sound of non-stop coqui frogs annoys you or finding bugs freaks you out, I would not recommend. But we LOVED the sounds here! O, it's exactly like those sound machines you pay for - rain, birds, frogs, it's so peaceful. My favorite part is the walking path to the house: lined with anthurium plants, it felt like red hearts were welcoming you home. I appreciated the pool noodles fitted to the exposed beams right above the lower beds so that when kids sit up in bed, their heads bump the pool noodles instead of the wood beams. There's already lots of games and even DVDs to stay entertained. The home was clean and I liked the straw mats covering the floors with area rugs and the abundance of plants indoors. Kids liked the mini "treehouse" that housed the tube lighting above the kitchen. We came a week after Hurricane Lala and there were some minor issues that Holly and her team fixed immediately so that's appreciated. I would absolutely stay here again!

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!

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!!

2 nights at Skyes Treehouses

Skye's Treehouse or Volcano Treehouse is the most incredible, fun, enjoyable, and adventurous place to stay in Hawaii!! We thoroughly loved our 2 nights there and so wish we could've splurged to stay another 2 more nights. Alas, our 2 nights went by so quickly but they are still the highlights of our stay in Hawaii and Oahu. The place is a bit hard to find, but once you get there, you certainly appreciate that it is in the middle of no where! We met up with Holly who is one of the most delightful people you will ever meet! She was so kind and showed us all around the Treehouse. We were literally squealing with delight -- it was perfect! So beautiful inside and we felt exactly like Swiss Family Robinson from the Disney parks! Holly recommended a delicious restaurant and we also visited Volcano National park but our favorite was just sitting and enjoying the sound of the rain, the warmth of the fireplace, and playing a card game at night. The main bedroom area is so neat with all the open windows, I loved taking a shower and seeing right out into the trees. My 17yo slept in the hidden hide-away bedroom and loved it. My 21yo slept in the living room because she is tall and the single bed under the main bed wasn't going to provide enough space for her. It did rain nearly the entire time we were there so be prepared for that! We actually didn't get to enjoy the outdoor patios but wished we could've just spent a few hours relaxing outside.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the treehouse! In fact, we like it so much that we changed some plans so we could spend more time hanging out and enjoying the uniqueness of the space. We loved sitting on the lanai’s and the feelings of peace and serenity of just hanging out in nature! We fell asleep listening to the euphony of frogs. I wish I had planned for more than one night. The check-in process was very easy - and the instructions and combination were great! I recommend meeting the property manager there instead of self check-in. I appreciated her helpful advice on local places. I hope we have the opportunity to come back and stay again for a longer time. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique place to stay and loves the outdoors!

2 nights at Skyes Treehouses

Truly one of the most magical places I've ever stayed at - we didn't want to leave! We loved everything about our stay, from the fun way to enter the house, to the dreamy fairy-lit path through the forest, to the well-furnished treehouse itself. We kept admiring all of the handcrafted nature of the house during our stay and discovering fun little details. And the bonus was being 15 min away from the park, allowing us to catch an actual eruption! We hope we will get the chance to come back another time!

Weekend Trip to The Kikala Waterfall Lodge

We really enjoyed our stay at the waterfall house. We live locally and it provided such a sweet little getaway. The waterfall view with our morning coffee was such a unique and special experience!

3 nights at Magical yurt, stunning spa bathroom

Lovely yurt and spa bath and sitting room on a farm. Fell asleep listening to rain and frogs. Near everything we wanted to do. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Kikala Waterfall Lodge

Wonderful cabin! WE loved hearing the river as we sat on the lanai and as we slept! The common-area building is fully stocked with cooking equipment, and there are two full bathrooms. Swimming below the enarby waterfall on the property was a joy. But we were only there for less than 24 hours. I am sure there is much more!

1 night at The Tranquil Homestead

We enjoyed our stay at the Tranquil Duck. It was nice and cool, which was great after a hot day. The shower was nice and we enjoyed coffee with the ducks and pea fowl. They were so cute! Very comfortable and a nice stay close to volcano national park and Hilo. We would love to come back!

2 nights at Gingerhill Farm Retreat

I loved staying in the Jungle Canopy! It was incredible to hear the birds in the morning when making coffee, and hear the frogs sing at night. The bed was super comfy and it was awesome to have my own bathroom with the cool outdoor shower (with hot water!!). The Canopy is a short walk from the parking area so it’s easy to bring your bag up, just don’t forget to bring some bug repellent for the mosquitos, and don’t forget to go say hi to the goats and chickens down in the garden! This place is a true delight and I’m excited to come back one day.

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!
