We welcome you to experience our Sacred Mauna oasis nestled in a tropical Rain Forest thick with majestic Ferns and sacred native Ohia tree. Take an opportunity to experience a beautiful escape from the realities of big city life. Wander across the island, soaking up the sun's warmth, and then retreat in solace in a lush, jungle-like campground. Here, you can immerse yourself in the captivating beauty and soothing sounds of our tranquil forest sanctuary. The land here is a serene escape offering a cozy experience of re-connection with nature. Hear and observe the melodies of native birds and plants species. Tap into the outdoors on the land by taking a leisurely tread along the path, seek a peaceful breathtaking spot for meditation, practice sun gazing, or simply take a moment to inhale fresh air and engage in deep breathing to soothe your nervous system. As the sun sets, take pleasure in moon and star gazing, and delight in the beauty of the constellations while listening to the distinct sounds of the coqui frog. There are three primary structures situated on a three-acre lot. This property rests 2,000 feet above sea level on the Big Island of Hawaii, in a peaceful neighborhood of Fern Forest. It boasts a central convenient location for tourists attractions. We take great pride in transitioning into a minimalistic lifestyle and fostering an eco-friendly environment. We relish the natural benefits of off-grid living, such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting. Our homestead offers shelter and comforts along with a camping feel. Therefore, beyond the hot water, this campsite has no potable or running water available . Please bring your own water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. We have great respect for the Aina. We are mindful of noise levels as to respect the nature, retreat residence and any other campers onsite. Sacred Mauna is about 4 miles ( approximately 15 minutes) from the main highway PLACES TO VISITt: National Volcano Park which is a 15 minute drive away. Numerous beaches within a 40 minute drive Hilo Farmers and Craft market is about 18 miles (approximately 40 minutes away) Pahoa area is about a 45 minute drive Punaluʻu black sand beach is 45 minutes Naalehu Is 1 hour driving distance We look forward to you booking!
