We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful lodge in Hilo. Being tucked away in the secluded rainforest was such a gift â surrounded by the most gorgeous foliage, peaceful greenery, and the nighttime sounds of frogs and other little creatures that made it feel magical.The location couldnât have been better. We were so close to Volcano National Park that when the volcano started erupting, we were able to hop in the car and get there quickly. Such an unforgettable experience!The home itself was quiet, spacious, and perfect for our family of five. We especially loved relaxing out on the screened lanai â enjoying the fresh air and the view without the bugs. It quickly became our favorite spot to unwind.We truly enjoyed everything about our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Hilo area!
This was a lovely home, tucked away in a very peaceful garden. The screened in porch with the sounds of nature made it very difficult to want to leave the house for activities. The house was very clean and comfortable. One bed was firm, the other more soft, which was nice to have options! Truly a magical space to stay!
I love this property a lot. Especially greenery around. We really spent 1-2 hours outside of the house in yard and outside. Thanks Linda for responding quickly.
Great location close to Volcano Natâl Park and Hilo with a fabulous porch and very comfortable beds. Really appreciate that the drinking water was provided. Loved the rooster and enjoyed the fruits growing on the property including stardust, guava and oranges. We have family that will be returning over the next year and weâve recommended Lindaâs place.
This place was heaven. Coming from a big city area, this place was quiet, peaceful, tranquil, and only about 20-25 minutes from most everything we wanted to see and do on the island. The host was helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We absolutely loved our stay here. I'm hoping to go back soon!!!
Setting was in a beautiful private landscape that felt like a miniature botanical garden. Just far enough away from town, not to be crowded, but close enough to Hilo to quickly visit. Host was easy to communicate with.
Quiet, well maintained property. The cleaning prior to our stay could have used a bit more focus (the bathroom looked like it had not been cleaned). The beds were excellent!
Like being in tropical heaven. Property is amazing and accommodations are conducive for total relaxation. Will stay here many more tines in the future.
Great all around property and location. Very clean, secluded and beautiful location, and centrally located between Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Hilo. Our family of 5 was very comfortable here and would definitely choose to stay again if we are in the area.
This house had everything we were looking for during our stay on the Big Island. We wanted a place close to both Volcanoes National Park and to the town of Hilo and this house fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of room for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked, the full size washing machine and dryer were great to have, and there were plenty of beach towels, blankets, and even a full size cooler to use. I was a little nervous about the temperate of the house since it doesn't have air conditioning. We stayed in late July / early August and the evenings were pleasantly cool. We had to close the windows and use the blankets at night as the evenings got down to the 60s. Would definitely stay here on again on a future trip. The host was quick to respond to the few questions I did have.
I have lived in Hawaii and also stayed on vacation several times. Lindaâs rainforest home is truly the most unique and peaceful stay Iâve had. The home is super clean, and comfortable. Location to volcano park is the best you can get outside the NP. We spent the day at the park, came back home for dinner, found out the volcano was erupting (thank you Linda!) and zipped back to the park to view the glow of red lava! Falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest is the best! You could spend hours just exploring the homeâs beautiful rainforest surroundings! If you donât stay here youâre missing out on the best of Hawaii. Shout out to Linda for being a super host and always responding quickly to questions! Mahalo! We hope to return someday!
If you are looking for a hidden gem, this is it. Not anything fancy or luxurious here. Beautiful rainforest surroundings. One thing, bring ear plugs, the nighttime creatures are very loud. Clise to Volcanoes National Park. Shopping needs in Kurtistown. Highly recommended for an inexpensive stay.
Large comfortable cabin. Beautiful, heavily vegetated setting. The sounds of frogs and insects at night are amazing! Very private and relaxing. Convenient to sights at the National Park and the Hilo area.
