I hate to write a negative review of this place. There is clearly lots of effort in this place, Wendy was nice through the phone, and they had an incident so the caretakers had to leave. But our experience just wasn't very good.
Main thing: the place was dirty. There was poop everywhere. The bed cover, pillows, nightstands, every horizontal surface had poop. Probably gecko droppings, but we didn't know if anything else (bat, rodent). Wendy told us where to find fresh sheets and we changed them, but still couldn't trust any other surface in there until disinfected.
We expected, from the pictures, that there would be a mosquito net. But there wasn't any. There were mosquitos waking us up, so we had to apply repellent regularly throughout the night - not just at sunset or sunrise.
Lastly, the bathroom doesn't have a door. The little sheet covering the entrance flies in the wind. It was fine while we were alone in the property, but cannot imagine how it is with when all three rooms are occupied.

We loved staying at Wendy’s. We were welcomed by Camille and it felt actually like staying with a friend. The whole property is beautifully designed and the treehouse is a special place to stay in with all the sounds of nature and ocean breeze. It is close to the awe inspiring green sand beach, a black sand beach with green turtles, a great bakery, and around 1 hours from the volcano park.
Just be aware that it is an open space and my 6 feet husband had a tight fit under the mosquito net. We had no issues arriving at the property following the host’s instructions (with a Jeep).

What stood out to me was that Wendy’s place is one of a kind. It is legit. It is old Hawaii. I fell immediately at home in the common areas. The treehouse was pure magic. The road was rocky to get in but well worth it! Truly, a hidden treasure. Not many places in the world left like this one! We will be back.

During our visit to Rainbow’s End, we rented both the cabin and the treehouse, and once again, the experience was nothing short of amazing. My personal favorite is the open-air treehouse—it offers the perfect blend of sleeping in nature while still enjoying the comfort of a cozy bed.
The property is clearly designed with care, with thoughtful details and charming decor that make it feel truly special. This was my third stay in the treehouse, and it somehow gets better every time! Wendy is an incredible host—warm, welcoming, and always ensuring we have everything we need for a perfect stay.
We loved spending time in the open-air living room, playing cards, and fully embracing the off-grid lifestyle for the weekend. Despite the open layout, I always feel completely safe here, which makes the experience even more relaxing. If you’re looking for a unique, handmade retreat that lets you disconnect from the daily grind, this is the place to be. Wendy is a true pro—kind, communicative, and always available if needed. This remains my favorite spot in the area, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable off-grid escape!

Our stay on Wendy’s land was nothing short of magical—perfect for a weekend escape. This was my third time visiting, and I keep coming back every year when exploring the South Point area. The rustic yet charming cabin is a true gem, with a peaceful deck ideal for watching the sunrise. The fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy, and our group loved gathering in the open-air living room, soaking in the serene surroundings.
Wendy is an incredible host—friendly, responsive, and always ensuring we feel at home. This year, we were delighted to find several upgrades, including stylish new living room furniture and a stunning semi-outdoor bathroom addition, a major improvement that made our stay even better.
If you’re looking for a unique and immersive nature experience, this property is perfect. It offers a peaceful escape from everyday life while keeping you close to the area’s top spots—we highly recommend hiking to Green Sands! Wendy and her son are truly the best, and we can’t wait to return.

The cabin was super cute, clean and the covered deck provided a wonderful spot to relax in the rain. The kitchen had everything I could ever need and check in was easy. I hope to return!

This was a wonderful launching point to visit Green Sand Beach (which we had to ourselves for half hr one morning) and Southpoint. Close to Volcanos, we got to see Kilauea erupt the morning after we departed. Truly a magical trip for us. Rowan was a great host and answered all our questions. It had everything we needed, plus a perfect tiny pig. Thanks Rowan!

The tree house was fantastic and the property is beautiful. Do yourself and your vehicle a favor and follow the directions provided by the host through Hipcamp. Google maps seems to have adventure in mind with its directions!

A very lovely, beautiful, quiet glamping experience. It was nice to sleep in an actual bed with power outlets, and look out into the rainforest. It’s close to punalu’u beach, one of the best snorkeling spots/black sand beaches in Hawaii, filled with seat turtles and fish, and a short ride from the incredibly unique greensand beaches trailhead.
It was nice to have a stove, cooking equipment, and a fridge to use!

Such a beautiful treehouse that we stayed in. Waking up there was amazing and magical. Rowan the host was so helpful and kind. Make sure you double check that your gps has the correct location since Apple Maps was tricky!

Great little cabin for nature’s lovers! We were cozy and private. You have everything you need and the balcony his a highlight. The only thing is the road to get there is very rough. I recommend a SUV for peace of mind, however we managed to do it with the rental Dodge Charger we had.

Arcanum was a great host. Super friendly and has lots of info on spots on the island to check out. The space is super peaceful and chill. Would love to try out the treehouse next time. It was a little further back in so if you are going for a little more private the treehouse might be your vibe.

Lucked out and ended being the only guest there during my 3 night stay. Arcanum even spent a day showing me to different local spots. Truly enjoyed the daily conversation, stories and local tips from him.
Was worried about staying this far from the 2 major cities but it was actually perfect. Good middle point that I could drive to either city and not have it take the entire day.
Tree house was amazing! Falling asleep to the breeze and waking up to the birds was amazing. It stormed 1 of the nights and I was surprisingly dry. Didn’t feel a single drop of rain. Fair warning though, the rain did get loud on the roof but I didn’t mind, I still found it relaxing. They have curtains hanging if you want to use those but I didn’t. There’s also a mosquito net you can put up but I didn’t and was fine. Theres 2 other buildings but the trees made the space feel private and hidden. You do walk past the other 2 to get to the tree house so I feel tree house is best for privacy.
Keep in mind this is hip camp. Other than the cabin, the tree house and the communal space are open spaces. You’re in nature and there will be critters. Mainly geckos. Not too different if you were actually camping. Cats and chickens on property.
It is off-grid(ish). They have solar for power, running water, compost toilet and a shower. Service was decent on my phone. Only MINOR complaint was the sheets but not enough to make it unpleasant. Still slept like a baby.
If renting a car, higher clearance is better.

“We had a wonderful stay at Wendy’s! Our host, Arcanum was fantastic, and the spot was incredibly private. The hot shower was a nice touch, and while we didn’t use the communal kitchen, it was great to have the option. This spot is conveniently located to some great spots to south point, black sand beach, and the volcanos. Just a heads up, the road in is a bit rough, but manageable even with a sedan. We drove in with an SUV, which made it a bit easier.”

The treehouse bedroom is absolutely beautiful! Drifting to sleep to the sounds of the forest and the raising moon is amazing

Definitely a peaceful place. The host was kind and really nice. I would come back for sure!

I had the most relaaaaxing weekend. Came to the treehouse for some me-time. Yoga, journaling, painting, etc it was perfect for all that. The treehouse really felt like I was living in a tree. It felt very private but don’t expect to feel like you’re completely alone. I could hear the cheerful sounds of my host nearby, but that just added to the very relaxed vibe. Adorable cats too 😊

We absolutely loved staying in the treehouse. The oceanview at dawn was 12/10 🤙🏻
Wendy and Arcanum are there with a helping hand, interesting stories and useful tips. 4WD can be helpful on the way to the property, but it is definitely not a must.

I really liked my time staying in the treehouse. The temperatures at night and the night sounds were really relaxing. The warm shower was very appreciated.
Make sure you have a vehicle with a bit of clearance as the property is off of paved roads.

Wendy and Arcanum were outstanding hosts. Arcanum always went out of his way to make sure I felt welcome and comfortable. The cabin itself is relaxing and the homestead feels deeply connected to nature. Make sure to see the stars if it’s a clear night. Mahalo Wendy and Arcanum 🩷

This was truly a unique and fresh experience. For once, I am leaving a trip feeling refreshed rather than drained. Waking up to the sounds of nature and distant views of the ocean was so worth going the distance from the cities.
Definitely be ready to do lots of driving if you have specific plans of where you want to explore the island. This location is quite secluded and rural which is what we wanted. Do research on the area and ask Arcanum and Wendy for advice if needed. Arcanum suggested we spend time in the hot springs which is a 2 hour drive but with their affordable car rental this was so worth it for an unforgettable day trip.
The car isn’t brand new it makes some fun noises and you will have to go very slow on the unpaved roads to Rainbows End farm. It got us where we wanted to go with no problems so we were very happy with it.
Overall, this is a very admirable homestead. The area itself was so charming we could’ve spent the whole trip there and been happy.
Thank you Wendy and Arcanum for being the kindest hosts.
