It is in a jungel, which is amazing. The terrace was the best, as you can sit in a jungel sourranding you, but be in a comfort, and the best idea to have a kitchen there, outside of the house. For three people it is a bit of compromise, but we had...

Really not too far from Hilo and Volcanos National Park. You really feel close to nature, with lots of relaxing noises from the frogs at night. Host was very easy to contact.

It is like an beautiful oasis in the rainforest! On the lanai you will feel like you are IN the rainforest, while still being in a cosy living room, since it is protected with roof and screen walls. The location is rural and you need a car, but to...

Nous avons adoré la véranda et le magnifique jardin tropical. C'était agréable de passer nos soirées à écouter le bruit de la nature et le concert des grenouilles. Notre hôte Doug a été très réactif quand nous avons eu un problème ! L'emplacement...

I came for episode 31 of the ongoing eruption of Kileaua. The remote check-in allowed me to come late, then leave almost immediately for HVNP, where I spent much of the next 24 hours. After the eruption, I needed the comfy bed. I relaxed,...

Semplicemente incantevole. Doug è stato un host fantastico, molto caring con la giusta discrezione. La casa è una bomboniera, arredata in ogni dettaglio con gusto e ti da una sensazione di coccola e calore. Cucina fornita di tutto per cucinare...

We loved staying in a private, homey space tucked in the tropical forest. It had all the amenities and supplies we needed for our stay. The location halfway between Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Hilo was perfect for what we wanted to do.

This place is a real tropical paradise. The place was clean and well stocked. We admired all plants and flowers on the property. It felt like a small botanical garden.

Relax in the embrace of the Lemon Tree Lanai, a detached unit featuring a long, sunlit, screened lanai with seating area, dining area, and kitchenette. Double doors open into a small living room, bedroom, and private bath. Kitchenette includes ¾-size fridge, cook top, microwave, and toaster oven, along with coffee maker and electric kettle. China dishes, glassware, cutlery and most kitchen tools are provided, along with coffee, creamer, teas, sugar, and basic cooking needs. Property sits in a tranquil oasis of old-growth ‘ōhi‘a rainforest forest.
I am a Hawai‘i specialist from the University of Hawai‘i and former senior scholar at the Smithsonian Institution. I can provide information on sites, local history, Hawaiian ecosystems, and places to visit. Private tours can also be arranged.
This little pocket of old ‘ōhi‘a forest sits conveniently halfway between Hilo and Volcano and just minutes from the highway. Neighbors are few and not nearby. The tranquility is palpable.
