Weekend Trip to Faris' Farm

My sister and I stayed here for two days while exploring the surrounding area- and I can’t say enough good things about the property, Patrick and Brian, and our accommodations. Everything was so thoughtful and comfortable, falling asleep to the sound of frogs at night and waking up for homemade breakfast each morning was such a treat. Patrick and Brian were so knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any question we had, and it really felt like we were staying with friends. Showering (hot water!) surrounded by foliage was perfection as well. If we’re ever on the big island again- we’d stay here in a heartbeat.

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

Our stay at this "Off Grid" cabin was pure magic. The setting is absolutely stunning—tucked among striking Rainbow Eucalyptus trees that make the entire property feel like a hidden tropical dream. The natural beauty here is unreal, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind and disconnect. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and perfectly suited for a restful escape. Everything was thoughtfully maintained, and you can tell the hosts care deeply about the space and their guests. Speaking of the hosts—they were incredible! So warm, friendly, and welcoming. Their hospitality truly made our stay even more special. One of the unexpected joys of our visit was spending time with the Muscovy ducks. They were such a delightful part of the experience—full of personality and charm. We loved watching them waddle around the homestead! We honestly wish we could have stayed longer. This place is a true gem, and we’re already dreaming of coming back. Highly, highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

So nice! Great value and set up of amenities! We loved it for so many reasons!

2 nights at The Tranquil Homestead

We had such a beautiful and peaceful stay at The Tranquil Duck! The property is serene, charming, and surrounded by nature—truly the perfect escape. We especially loved the rainbow eucalyptus trees right outside the homestead; they added such a magical touch to the surroundings. Christopher and Esther were incredibly sweet and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were also so flexible and kind in allowing our pups to stay, who had an amazing time exploring the property and soaking in the fresh air. They even took the time to give us an extensive list of recommendations, which made our trip even more enjoyable and stress-free. We’re already looking forward to coming back and would absolutely love to stay here again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

2 nights at Lava Rock Cabin ~ Off Grid Hale

We had a fantastic time! Sanna showed us how everything worked and gave clear instructions. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and the shower’s hot water warmed as fast as normal plumbing! We were able to get in and out of the property easily with the locked gate. Overall we had a great time and I would definitely book again.

1 night at IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

What a magical and private location! Super cozy and comfy for two with all the amenities to be comfortable. If it rains, the large umbrella cover's the entire deck so you can still enjoy the beautiful views.

Weekend Trip to IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

Io's nest was a gorgeous and comfortable stay! Coqui frogs and the sound of rain on the metal roof was soothing and easily serenaded us to sleep. Close to Akaka Falls (an easy 30 ish min walk right from the stay). The host (Krystle) was super responsive, gave good explicit directions. Comfy bed with stellar views, especially of the sunrise over the ocean. Nice to have a sink right on site, with access to a bathroom and outdoor shower nearby. Strongly recommend staying here!

2 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

Yip Camp was a delightful retreat in the jungle near volcanoes. Thomas was very communicative and friendly, and added finishing touches like a fresh bouquet of flowers on the nightstand in the tent. Great base camp for visiting the south and east parts of the island, falling asleep to rain on the roof and coqui frogs.

1 night at The Tranquil Homestead

We loved our short stay at the tropical duck cabin. Our hosts were gracious and the cabin was comfortable. Would love to return and stay longer to learn about their off grid living.

2 nights at Hawaiian Retreat

Amazing little bungalow in the rainforest! Janelle was a great host and brought us a lovely basket of fresh fruit. The outdoor shower was so fun and the sounds at night were exotic but not overwhelming. Would love to stay here again!

2 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

I loved camping at this Yip Camp! Thomas was such an amazing host, made us feel very comfortable and recommended a lot of cool locations around the area! Even offered to make us some coffee in the morning before our outing and brought us some towels when we had forgot ours. Volcano national park is just a 20 minute easy drive. This location is pretty isolated and about a 15-20 minute drive to any food/ restaurant, the choices are pretty limited but I would DEFINITELY recommend mt view bakery. Small local bakery with the best treats and sandwiches. Also recommend Frankie’s pizza nearby which we also really liked. Thomas also has a little dog named Yip and we loved him! The cabin itself was very cozy, bed was very comfortable and we stayed warm all night. If you’re looking for a fancy airbnb or glamping to stay at, this is not the place for you. This is definitely more of a camping feel, more in tune with earth and the nature around you, with outdoor shower and toilet, no electricity, and no sink so be prepared & there was a gas stove available for use. But that definitely didn’t stop us from having an amazing time. Loved hearing the coqui frogs all night, the roosters crowing in the morning, and being greeted by yip on our arrivals. Would definitely stay here again if given the chance! Thank you again for your hospitality!

5 nights at Faris' Farm

Great accommodations! Will definitely repeat. Just as described and then some more. Outstanding farm with all of its trimmings. Hosts make you feel right at home!

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

2 nights at IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

My husband and I loved that Esther and Christopher's hospitality made us feel like family. Their property was beautiful! The little cabin we rented was a perfect space for two. The bathroom, adorable and a porch where you could get fresh air and admire the beauty of Hawaii Island was amazing. And then there were their ducks that greeted us in the mornings! It was a short stay but an awesome one! Mahalo Esther and Christopher for your welcoming hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Faris' Farm

Patrick's spot is beautiful and clean, and Patrick and Brian are excellent hosts. I loved meeting the animals and talking about plants with the hosts. Would definitely recommend this sweet private bungalow!

3 nights at Hawaiian Retreat

Cabin worked great! It's well stocked for the kitchen, and the outdoor shower was warm and had great water pressure. Directions made it easy to find, and you're pretty well removed from traffic and people. I will mention two things: the tree frogs and some wild pigs are pretty active at night, so you may need earplugs. Second is that you'll wake up with the sun, so if that's not in your plans, a sleep mask wouldn't go amiss.

Here's the tent, outdoor kitchen, and the green potty tent.

Faris' Farm

We started our Homestead over 7 years ago on a Level 3 lava zone, knowing it is some of the newest land on the plant. Leaving much of the Natural topography intact, and clearing by hand while introducing many tropical varieties of vegetation to the land has given us a glimpse into nature completely unexpected! We were suggested to open our home last year to people looking for a simple reprieve from weight of the "go-go-go" and have done so with great enjoyment. We hope with hipcamp to be able to reach more people, encouraging the experience in & of biophilia that has brought such tranquility to our lives. Aloha Aina! Learn more about this land: Faris' Forest offers a private & magical get away for your Big Island retreat. We're located on a 3 acre homestead between Volcano National Parks, Historic Pahoa town, and Hilo in a peaceful Ohi'a forest. Our land is home to 100's of plant varieties from exotic fruits like Cacao and Pineapple, to dozens of orchid varieties and other tropical flora. We have worked hand-in-hand with the land to create a biophilic experience in hopes of offering our guests an inspirational and energizing experience The spaceWe started our Homestead over 7 years ago on a lava 3 zone in an O'hia forest. Knowing this is some of the newest land on the planet we have left much of the Natural topography intact while clearing by hand many invasive species and successively planting many tropical, and native varieties of vegetation bringing about this beautiful space. This has given us a glimpse into Nature's hidden biognosis... And what beautiful wisdom it has revealed which we would like to share now with you our guests :) We're conveniently situated between Volcano National Park, Historic Pahoa Village, and Hilo's Port Town. We were suggested by many after our first 5 years here to open our homestead to others looking for a simple reprieve from the weight of the go-go world with hopes that people leave more connected to go with the flow. We hope by welcoming you to our homebase for your Big Island adventures we'll be able to help connect more people to the biophilia that has brought such tranquility to our lives. Aloha Aina!! Your private space is a 20'x10' raised cabin that offers covered outdoor space as well as indoor accommodations. You will find the inside furnished with two full spring mattress bunk beds, a small eating bar overlooking our backyard area with two stool seats, a personal work area with an accommodating cooler for perishables (Please provide ice or we can arrange for block ice from our local general store if desired), and personal clothing storage, as well as wi-fi options. Your private cabin space does have full electricity separate from the commons, but still off grid so please refrain from using strong energy draw items like hair wands or instant heaters, such electrical items are not suited for off-grid electrical systems. Our Common space is open from 7a.m.-10p.m. During this time, you will have full access to a shared kitchen, as well a full bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower. The bathroom is available around the clock but after-hours hot water is off so please be aware if you're planning on taking a midnight shower. Please let us know if you need any amenities such as hot water or wi-fi after 10p.m. or before 7a.m. Please make note of these times and being off grid means that we schedules use of high energy items with the daylight hours, and we will set a timer for your convenience of smaller items like internet with advanced notice, otherwise we are very energy efficient in the commons, this is hipcamp, so please don't mistake us for a Hilton :) We are currently home to 4 wonderful dogs that may greet you as you drive up, 3 spectacular cats, 1 mischievous parrots, 3 goats, 12 chickens and 1 rooster. So please know there are animals present than are part of our Ohana. We ask for you to take into consideration that we are a "Working homestead" and we are "Off Grid" so there will be projects much like any farm setting, for this reason we are not suitable for infants or young Children. There are animals that can make noises, there are mulch piles always moving around, compost piles that might not be your cup of tea because they smell, but they certainly make great compost teas to help the flowers grow that smell beautiful right outside your window! There are small projects that may look like clutter, such as seed saving, or canning, but those small clutters grow the plants that fill those jars! On occasion we have people who overlook this reality of nature and our connection to it... possibly because they've seen too many staged reality shows or maybe they have never visited a real farm in person before, but we are grateful that the overwhelming majority of people who have had this attitude have left with an appreciation for nature many expressed they never knew they had!! Those guests have filled our hearts with their kind gratitude :) This is a place full of joyful work for us, so please understand we are a destination for many who love nature, and if you're afraid of dirt or nature in general, this might be a great opportunity to connect with what has always been waiting for you to discover!! Guest accessThe last two blocks into our homestead are rock road as we are a rural location. We will provide a map upon booking with the best access through our Ag-lots for your convenience. Please travel safe and plan for our check-in between 3p.m. and 9p.m. with early and late check-in avalible with approved notice :) Parking is available to either side at the end of the driveway. Other things to noteAlittle about our homestead;Please understand that we are off-grid, and while we've been off grid 8 years now, we've only been hosting stays like this for 3 years, and we see that we are a destination for many visitors looking for a nature bathing kind of experience, but it's not everyone' cup of coffee... Sooo speaking of coffee, if you are looking for things like an General Electric coffee pot or any electric coffee maker (that are literally designed to wastes energy to just make money) we probably aren't the best fit for your stay ... BUT ... If you want to experience home grown Cacao added to fresh ground coffee brewed Italian style to make an amazing Mocha, FRESH, then we can easily make that while showing you some great energy saving ideas to take home :) like make coffee the way our great grandparents made coffee, it tastes better and is really easier than one may think! We share some toasted homemade sourdough bread out of fresh harvested stocks too, but it again isn't an energy guzzling shinny toaster that does the toasting, it is a cast iron skillet that we toast on, just like our great grandparents did too... Actually one of my favorite skillets belonged to my Great Grandma, so this is the real deal :) Come up and join us when we turn the commons on at 7a.m. if you're interested. We have very little light pollution which will afford beautiful star gazing on clear nights, and epic full moons!! But this means that you should use a flashlight or headlamp which we can provide at your leisure. We don't poop in a bucket in the woods, we actually have a working toilet, and Hot water for showers, a gas powered full range stove. But we also compost and make methane for 100% green energy use... There are chickens and goats, parrots, Dogs & Cats. We have been told by some that it is too cluttered, and by others you make me our home look clean our kitchen table (3'x9') always has some sort of a project on it. One guest said they were so happy to see so much going on as they sat watching us make bread, while another was upset that they didn't have a private kitchen. We feel we are very affordable for what we have to share, and if you feel this description will not fit your needs, then please don't book us because we're affordable. Trust us if we could offer a private kitchen it would only raise our price. We really hope more than anything to share and inspire what a homestead is, and that even in a suburb, or a rural apartment there are small things we can do to save energy and bring ourselves closer to nature!!

If you love East Hawaii and eco-friendly accommodations, you'll love our off-grid location! We have maintained a 5-star review and guest favorite rating on another site, but due to the national boycott concerns we have decided to try hosting on this platform. We can provide past reviews upon request. The cabin is a single room with a queen sized bed. There is a covered outdoor minimalist kitchen that includes a refrigerator, propane camp stove, hot and cold sink, filtered bottled water and outdoor seating. Please note that we are off-grid, so there is no microwave oven. Attached to the cabin is an outdoor hot shower on one side and a private composting toilet on the other side. Solar provides electricity for the refrigerator and lamp only. There are no outlets available for high energy use such as hairdryers. Our house is approximately 200ft away with palms and mango trees growing between our house and the cabin. Electric fencing surrounds the entire driveway and building compound. It keeps our local feral pig friends from destroying our driveway and garden area. Parking is provided next to the cabin.

GaiaYoga Gardens

We are an off-grid intentional community in the rain forest 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 that are 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 multigenerational bonded community. We are growing 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 breeze houses for couples and families. We do allow camping, but we rarely have it happen. People usually sleep in our buildings. We have two communal kitchen, living room, dining rooms, communal showers, and lots of space to explore nature.
