Dawn's place is a cozy, well-equipped cabin near Volcanoes National Park, embraced by the lushness of the jungle. Guests love the outdoor shower and the warm hospitality, with friendly animals including cats and dogs adding to the homely feel. While some mention the loud coqui frogs and rain on the tin roof, earplugs are available for light sleepers. The secluded location and thoughtful amenities make it a great base for exploring the island.

Dawns place was perfect for a lovely and price conscious stay near volcanoes national park. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed for a comfy stay (including an amazing hot shower!), mini fridge, easy secure access on/off the property, and close to VNP. Dawn was super friendly and shared some great stories and tips about the big island. Mahalo for letting us stay! Weâll be back soon!

Dawn was a great host. She thought of everything you could want or need. We loved the vibe and the remote location. Coqui frogs are loud - we love them but others may not so just know ahead of time they are there. The cats are super friendly and keep you company on the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our time at a green cabin. Property is organized with love, every detail is magical, string lights along the path, cute cabin decor, jungle shower, big comfy bed and lovely cats and dogs who came for a visit to our cabin terrace (donât worry they do bark but they are sweet). Thereâs warm water in shower, itâs also private to your cabin! There was separate kitchen building but we didnât cook. Would love to spend more time there and will definitely come back <3 thank you!

Awesome stay. Great base for getting into Volcanoes National Park. I slept like a baby every night and would often make it to the park by sunrise. I loved having the cats and dogs around. The dogs will bark when you arrive but settle down fast, so donât let that put you off. They are all friendly especially the puppy named Pocket. Dawn was a gracious host, mahalo!

The cabin at Dawn's property was simple and perfect for us. We loved having an outdoor shower surrounded by such dense foliage that a shower curtain wasn't needed at all. Dawn was easy to work and communicate with. The shared kitchen is huge and well-equipped; we met some Austrian travelers there. The property is far from the nearest streetlight or business, and feels very secluded. It is among other houses, but the greenery is too dense to see them. All in all a great value and a lovely getaway!

It was a brief, but great stay! We were taking a weekend trip from Oahu, so we just spent one night. By the time we arrived, it was pitch black but we had no problem finding the property or getting back to the cabin due to the very thorough instructions. We were greeted by the sound of very talkative coqui frogs (seriously, it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but SO cool) and a very friendly kitty that followed us to the cabin and sat with me on the porch for a long time. The room was comfortable and had all the basic things needed. My only complaint is due to all the solar lights outside not working, it was pitch black while trying to use the outdoor bathroom/shower. We needed to utilize our phones lights or the small lights provided to walk around. I was nervous but really enjoyed the âopen airâ showering facing the woods, but it was a really cool experience. Would definitely stay again if I find myself on the island! Very loud at night between the frogs and rain on the tin roof, so if you donât mind that youâll have a great stay (and if you donât, dawn provides ear plugs in the room! All in all, beautiful location and awesome stayđ

Amazing and unique cabins. We stayed in the purple cabin 2 nights and we certainly enjoyed it. The bed was comfortable and it was very nice that the cabin had its own bathroom, as well as a refrigerator. Mountain View is a jungle community, and it has the most precipitation in the US, but there were almost no mosquitoes that disturbed us during our stay, so everything was great.

We loved staying at the Jungalo. Dawn was welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. The space is fun and funky, the shared kitchen met our needs, and the hot water in the outdoor shower was a real treat. We were able to extend our stay by an additional night and would definitely come back to spend more time exploring Hilo, Puna and Volcano NP.

Amazing and magical place. Dawn was the friendliest of hosts i've met over the continents I've travelled. Having her as a guide, host and general friendly person around you while you're exploring HawaĂŻ is already 6/5.
She had the greatest tips for volcano explanation, farmers market and general unwinding.
Must stay for HawaĂŻ big island. â¨

Dawnâs lodge and land was amazing! The mermaid lair was very cozy and so cutely decorated with a blue and purple ocean theme. Absolutely loved the outdoor shower and bathroom setup too. If youâre looking for a place to stay in the rainforest that is close to the volcano and Hilo, this is a perfect destination!

This place is magical!! Right in the middle of rainforest, right in the middle of the volcano park and Hilo. Really nice patio to meditate, yoga and just relax. Mist importantly, Dawn is soooo sweet and hospitable. Sheâs super knowledgeable about the island and makes us feel at home. Her animals are so adorable. Could not ask for a better stay.

Awesome spot in the jungle! Outdoor shower and toilet, but both very clean and private. Would recommend going to Hilo for food options.

Dawn is a heart of this place. She is more than welcoming and she is happy to share any tips for sightseeing.
Perfect spot to stay when you are discovering volcano park.
The pleads is designed in tiniest details, which is impressive. Bed is spacious and comfy, and we enjoyed the outside warm shower with a jungle view!
Extras include the sweetest dog and two cats plus home picked eggs!
The nature around the house is vivid, actually we saw there more Hawaiian species than in National Parks where they hide from people.

Dawnâs ocean themed Jungalow was so cute and more spacious than expected! Super comfy bed and lots of fun little artistic touches make this place memorable and unique. The outdoor shower with a jungle view was an awesome experience. Dawn was a super host- extremely kind, knowledgeable, and quick to respond! I would definitely recommend this place!! Be aware that the property is a bit of a drive off the main road and âoff the gridâ- kind of in the middle of nowhere but still close to Hilo and the volcano. This was no problem for us, because that is exactly what we wanted! Thanks Dawn for the incredible experience!

Dawn has a great property and she is very kind. I really enjoyed my Jungalow stay and the outdoor shower was awesome. The bed was comfortable, the large covered patio was amazing for relaxing while watching the rain and the kitchen was very coolâŚand free fresh eggs!

Dawnâs place exceeded my expectations. Driving there is definitely a journey on small country roads, especially in a downpour, but it was easy to find with instructions. Cabin was beautiful and cozy and the private shower/bathroom was so lovely! Hot water under ohia trees was a dream. Loved the big porch area to snack and chill after a long day of adventure. Shared kitchen was very clean and easy to use. Eating fresh eggs from the hens in the morning was lovely. Really friendly cats to hang with. Lovely environment to unwind and Dawn literally has everything you need (floaters, snorkel gear, robes, boat vests etc. for adventure, and all types of toiletries in case you forgot something). Appreciated the mini fridge, water and guide book in room. Felt very taken care of even if I didnât have a chance to meet Dawn this time. Would definitely come back!

This was an absolutely incredible property with a helpful host and super cool accommodations. Even with the rest of the property, your spot in the jungle feels very private. This place is an ideal, incredibly relaxing place to stay close to VNP! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Dawn's space was deeply nourishing and enlivening. My friend and I enjoyed having our own little bungalow with an outdoor shower to be immersed in the jungle. The full kitchen accommodations were close by and surrounded by beautiful plants. 10/10 would book again!
