Learn more about this land: Aloha,I built the treehouse to be a very romantic hideaway for myself and my honey, and now that I'm renting it out, the couples and families who have stayed here, including many honeymooners have appreciated the romance of the setting and ambiance. (In fact, we had considered calling it KamaSutreehouse when setting up the website!.) It's not just romantic though it's really fun for the kids. The setting is so private, surrounded by such natural beauty that one cannot help but be inspired. My favorite romantic details are the fireplace and the bed perched high up in the loft where you're surrounded by windows looking out at the moon and stars at night and native trees, birds and cloud formations by day, the low ceilinged double futon bed approached by inside later ( which is mostly for kids) and also accessible by crawling under the Master Bed ( about 5 feet up). The Sky-Walk 90 feet out into the forest is the latest whimsical and fun additions. The location is great it's very private and quiet, hidden in the rainforest yet it's only 3 miles from Volcano Village and 5 miles from the park entrance. Some guests a never leave the Treehouse. The TreeHouse is at 2860 feet above sea level, plus 20 ft. for the TreeHouse, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is at a little over 4000 feet above seas level for the viewing of the glow from the vent at a mile distance, on the edge of the crater. For the most comprehensive information about the island and local area, I recommend the book, The Big Island Revealed. The main attraction locally, of course, is Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the hiking thru lava fields, lava tubes and even across the floors of craters. Volcano Village is well known as a premier artist colony and is home to many scientists, as well. Hilo is 25 miles away and has many attractions, including a new, state of the art astronomy museum that shouldn't be missed. And of course the Island is surrounded by beautiful blue ocean and all the activities that go with that.

We loved staying at Skye's treehouse! It truly is a piece of art, and feels like a really special experience. The area is very secluded and private, with the entrance through a secret door making it feel even more like you're in your own little world. Skye was a great host, and even brought by treehouse tshirts for us and our daughter, which was a sweet gesture. We feel lucky to have experienced staying here and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a magical Hawaiian getaway.

Skye’s place was magical- there’s really no other way to describe it. The covered deck was fantastic for yoga in the rain, or just meditating while listening to the birds and frogs. The kitchen was better than any regular camp-kitchen, including a two-burner gas stove (no oven) and a 3/4 sized fridge (not “full-size”, but larger than a bar fridge by a lot), and all of the basics for good cooking. Eating “at home” was easy; cooking while surrounded by the sites of the rainforest was incredible. The treehouse had lots of space- it was very comfortable. Lots of windows made waking up early easy- again, surrounded by the sights of the forest (just make sure you go to bed early too!). This was a truly unique experience. Highly recommend! If we return to Hawaii again, we will definitely stay here again!

The Tree House was magical! I loved all the creative touches that had been woven into Skye's architecture. My kids and I loved experiencing the first light of morning ascend around us in the lofted bed. The rainforest sounds were soothing, and the covered walkway was a tranquil place to do eat meals, do yoga, and star-gaze.
