Near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park Visitor Center.

Welcome to our extraordinary off-grid retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii—featured on Discovery Channel’s Homestead Rescue: Between Two Volcanoes. Nestled between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea in the Kaʻū District, our 100-acre working farm offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience in nature, culture, and adventure. Just 10 minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and a short drive from Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, this location is a dream for explorers, stargazers, and nature lovers. Whether you're looking for solitude, eco-tourism, wellness, digital detox, or an enriching family getaway, this is the place! Step outside and you’re immersed in a living classroom of native flora, lava tubes, fruit orchards, and starlit skies. Wander trails through macnut groves, sip fresh coconut water under the monkeypod tree, or pick fruit straight from the trees—mango, banana, lilikoi, citrus, and more. Kids love the three-level treehouse, and families enjoy meeting our friendly farm animals: horses, cows, and farm dogs. At night, the Kaʻū Desert transforms into one of the darkest skies in the world. With no city lights for miles, stargazing is beyond incredible. Lay back with a blanket and marvel at the Milky Way, constellations, and even passing satellites or meteor showers. Our farm is rooted in Hawaiian values of sustainability, ʻohana (family), and aloha ʻāina (love for the land). We're happy to offer an optional guided farm tour or share stories about off-grid living and the volcanic history of the land. Guests leave not only rested, but deeply connected to the land and local culture. Please note: we are truly off the beaten path—no streetlights, no traffic, and no tourists. The final stretch of road is unpaved and best suited for SUVsBig Dipper is located among fruit trees, manicured grass and plenty open space. There’s a fire pit, outhouse, picnic table and level space for tents.

Big Dipper

Good size camping spot. Nice palm trees. We watched stars and had campfire. We liked this place a lot. The road is rough. If you are not SUV, or not use to rural roads - you gonna scrape the road. That is the only downside we can admit. Overall - we would rent it again!

Big Dipper

The hosts were quick to reach our and communicate with clear directions. The orchard was easy to find and access. There are beautiful horses and goats, and acres of lush macadamia and fruit orchards. Pahala is a very small town with no grocery stores or restaurants, so it would be best to stock up on supplies someplace like Kona or Hilo beforehand. We had a picnic in a giant treehouse, and a good night's sleep camped in our vehicle. We look forward to camping here again.
