Learn more about this land:
The ultimate local experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes!
For guests unfamiliar with the Big Island, it is not like the other islands people travel to. If Oahu is more Americanized, the Big Island is still more of a Polynesian Island. Our property allows guests to enjoy a genuine local experience.
The cabins have power and endless hot water. All water on property is rainwater harvested from our roof!
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them 🐸 Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer. More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal Kings baths, to prawn hunting to hikes that lead to waterfalls! They are all local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency. We are updating our ig @bathingsuitsandrainboots regularly with footage from adventures as well!
Beach gear such as surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear is also available. There is a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island!
There are a total of 4 cabins on the one acre lot. The owners are on property, other guests may or may not be here as well. There is a dog Valentine, two outdoor cats named Ghost and Tomi, and chickens/ducks.
Each cabin has a queen mattress. We rent both cabins out for larger groups.
Jungle massages are available on site starting at $100 for the hour.
Please note the main image capturing a lava cliff sunrise is not visible from the cabin. It is about a 30-40 minute drive from us 🌊 ☀️ 🌋
We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, I suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

The result is a cool and wet climate zone that supports many of the world's endangered palms and conifers.
The bioreserve features 14 acres of riverfront Cloud forest. The Kikala river runs through the middle of the bioreserve, so Kikala Waterfall Lodge guests on the bioreserve have private exclusive access to prime waterfalls and swimming holes.

We are an off-grid intentional community in the rainforest of East Hawaii in the Puna district. We have acres of tropical fruit trees, clumping bamboo, bananas, and other plants. We have about 20 different tropical breeze houses, which are hand-made, screened-in structures nestled into the forest along walking trails. We're at the end of a 3-mile-long unpaved road, so we are very secluded and have little outside noise.
We are not a bed-and-breakfast, we are not a farm, we are not a place looking to rent cabins — we are an intentional community and Permaculture homestead whose primary mission is healing, activating, and living our holistic hearts in a multigenerational, bonded community. We are growing a holistic culture and creating a beautiful world together. We want to share this place and find partners in our mission/play/joy (both short and long term).
We have a men's dorm and a women's dorm and breezehouses for couples and families. We do allow camping, but we rarely have it happen. People usually sleep in our buildings. We have two communal kitchens, a living room, dining rooms, communal showers, and lots of space to explore nature.

As a full-time host and tour guide, I take pride is giving people the best experiences possible while on island! Our properties are cozy and provide everything you will need being your home away from home while on vacation!
Learn more about this land:
The ultimate local experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes!
For guests unfamiliar with the Big Island, it is not like the other islands people travel to. If Oahu is more Americanized, the Big Island is still more of a Polynesian Island. Our property allows guests to enjoy a genuine local experience.
The cabins have power and endless hot water. All water on property is rainwater harvested from our roof!
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them 🐸 Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer. More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal Kings baths, to prawn hunting to hikes that lead to waterfalls! They are all local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency. We are updating our ig @bathingsuitsandrainboots regularly with footage from adventures as well!
Beach gear such as surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear is also available. There is a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island!
There are a total of 4 cabins on the one acre lot. The owners are on property, other guests may or may not be here as well. There is a dog Valentine, two outdoor cats named Ghost and Tomi, and chickens/ducks.
Each cabin has a queen mattress. We rent both cabins out for larger groups.
Jungle massages are available on site starting at $100 for the hour.
Please note the main image capturing a lava cliff sunrise is not visible from the cabin. It is about a 30-40 minute drive from us 🌊 ☀️ 🌋
We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, I suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

The Kikala Waterfall Lodge at the Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve is a lodge nested in a botanical garden and farm dedicated to the preservation of the world's plant biodiversity. Situated on the southeast facing flanks of Mauna Kea overlooking Hilo Bay and the Hamakua Coast, the bioreserve benefits of a unique climate where the lowland rainforest climate zone (Koeppen climate Zone Af) overlaps with the oceanic temperate mountain zone of Mauna Kea (Koeppen Climate Zone Cfb). The result is a cool and wet climate zone that supports many of the world's endangered palms and conifers.
The bioreserve features 14 acres of riverfront Cloud forest. The Kikala river runs through the middle of the bioreserve, so Kikala Waterfall Lodge guests on the bioreserve have private exclusive access to prime waterfalls and swimming holes. The Cloudforest bioreserve isn't just home to botanical wonders, Hawaiian native hawks and many other beautiful Hawaiian birds like to nest in the cloudforest.
The lodge community center features a Zendo that can support a contemplative yoga and meditation practice. The Bioreserve features gardens with a Japanese Zen influence to encourage a contemplative retreat experience.

We are an off-grid intentional community in the rainforest of East Hawaii in the Puna district. We have acres of tropical fruit trees, clumping bamboo, bananas, and other plants. We have about 20 different tropical breeze houses, which are hand-made, screened-in structures nestled into the forest along walking trails. We're at the end of a 3-mile-long unpaved road, so we are very secluded and have little outside noise.
We are not a bed-and-breakfast, we are not a farm, we are not a place looking to rent cabins — we are an intentional community and Permaculture homestead whose primary mission is healing, activating, and living our holistic hearts in a multigenerational, bonded community. We are growing a holistic culture and creating a beautiful world together. We want to share this place and find partners in our mission/play/joy (both short and long term).
We have a men's dorm and a women's dorm and breezehouses for couples and families. We do allow camping, but we rarely have it happen. People usually sleep in our buildings. We have two communal kitchens, a living room, dining rooms, communal showers, and lots of space to explore nature.

We will provide bath towels and there is soap in the shower for your use, as well.

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
This was such a fun stay! The cabin was full of character and Thomas was so welcoming and laid-back. We loved our encounters with the namesake host and property security (Yip). The cabin is close to a couple other camping sites on the land but it still feels private. The cabin itself was super comfortable - warm bed, hot shower, and cool loft which came in handy for drying our perpetually damp clothes.
The rainforest around the site is lush and dense. No stars as it was dumping the whole weekend but the sounds of the rain pattering on the roof and the symphony of coquis made for the perfect lullaby. We had a 4x4 so getting to the cabin was no problem but I'd definitely drive slow on the approach road as it's very dark at night and puddles/potholes seem to spawn in a few hours!
Mahalo again, Thomas! We hope to see you again.

1 night at Hawaii Earth Nest
The Earth Nest was magical. If you love nature, you should definitely stay here — many of the walls are completely open, which makes you feel like you’re outside while still in the comfort of a covered lodging. It was super easy to find, and the bathroom was steps away from the main cottage. There was a mosquito net over the bed, and the bed itself was unbelievably comfy. The bathroom was well-maintained and clean, and the shower had hot water, which was so nice. There was a full kitchen, which we didn’t end up using as we were just there for a night but would be super nice if you wanted to cook (and having a fridge was great). The area was quiet and beautiful. My one issue was that we felt a little nervous about the walls being completely open without any screens or anything as it didn’t feel completely safe, but we had no actual issues and it seems like a pretty secure site otherwise so it wasn’t too much of a problematic. This place really felt like something out of a fairy tale, I would definitely recommend.

We loved staying here! It had all the bare necessities and such a beautiful space. The perfect getaway stay-cation. The only downsides: the walls aren’t screened it so mosquitos were very present! More candles would help. Also, make sure to bring your own spices and things for cooking. The pots, pans, plates and utensils were all provided but definitely bring oil, spices and any extras you’d want :)

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views
I loved this site!! Situated on a beautiful farm with a fantastic view of the ocean, this was the perfect place to spend a rainy night.
The cabin itself was super cozy and cute, and while there are two other cabins on the property, ours felt completely private. The porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever encountered, and the outdoor shower had hot water, which was super nice. I appreciated how well-lit the site was, with motion sensor lights right outside the cottage and by the bathroom area. The property was gated and the door locked with a key, which made us feel super secure.
This site was amazing, and I would definitely return!!!

Christopher & Esther were such lovely & attentive hosts. They have a thoughtful set-up with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable night's stay, and the cabin feels very private. The view is lovely, surrounded by painted Eucalyptus. They have a small flat area for a tent site nearby which was lovely to stretch on beneath the trees. The ducks and peahens were so entertaining - they truly run the place! To boot this place is close to the Park & some quick food stops. The stars at night were so bright. I would love to stay here again for longer.

7 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
Yip Camp is easily accessible, located on the big island of Hawaii. This property is just a few miles from Volcano National Park off a cinder forest road. It’s a beautiful place, with chickens and roosters roaming the grounds, very green lush and peaceful. We stayed in the tiny “cottage”. It was exactly what we expected. Rustic, & charming. A dry place to lay our heads after a long day of exploring the island. It has a queen sized bed, a loft with a bed, a table, lanterns, a tabletop burner, pans etc. There is an outdoor toilet and shower with lots of hot water. A table and chairs to sit on outside. There was also a place to have a campfire and a picnic table. Thomas was an excellent host, very friendly and offered ideas of places to visit, explore and dine. Yet he gave us plenty of privacy. He was very easy to get a hold of the day we flew in & returned phone calls promptly. I intended to camp in a tent, but I’m happy I booked the cottage as it rained every day the entire week. Even though it was wet the roads were always accessible. My husband and I had a great experience and would recommend Thomas property Yip Camp to others who were looking for an adventure and a bit of the outdoors and the country over staying in Hilo or Kona.

We had an amazing stay at this off-grid homestead and can see why it had such amazing reviews. The hosts, Esther and Christopher were truly lovely - relaxed, down to earth, and made everything feel easy from the moment we arrived. We really appreciated accommodating us when we arrived late.
The setting is something special: tucked into a beautiful rainbow eucalyptus rainforest with giant ferns and native trees, that made mornings feel so peaceful. It felt calm and restorative, with the gentle sounds of nature at night and a sky full of stars. We certainly lucked out being able to enjoy Hawai'i the way it was intended to be enjoyed.
The location is also perfect if you’re visiting Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and being in the laid back local town of Hilo. Being so close made it easy to explore the park and come back to a quiet, tranquil place to unwind. We also loved the homestead touches! The sweet ducks, Jasper, Mable and June (peacocks) were a highlight, and it felt like a genuinely unique, memorable experience.
If you’re looking for a calm, nature-filled stay near the volcano, this place is a gem. We would absolutely come back.

Weekend Trip to Hamakua Christmas Tree Forest
Our host, Nancy greeted us warmly when we arrived and helped us to find the entrance to the property. The bungalow was very private and cozy. We loved waking up to an incredible view of the ocean! There was a lot of cool wildlife around, including lizards, wild pigs, and parakeets. Unfortunately, we had a cloudy sky at night, but given clearer conditions, the bungalow would have been perfect for stargazing, and there was even a telescope available for us to use. One thing to note, there is a long, grassy, uphill driveway to the property. We arrived in a brand new BMW convertible and suffusive to say that was not the right car for this location.
