Adorable little cabin in the hills of Kona. A great place to cool down after a hot day in town. You feel like you are in your own private jungle. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day of frolicking in the volcano. We are aleady planning a return trip.
My daughter an I loved every minute it was just what we imaged secluded but yet close to everything we needed. Caroline is an awesome hostess gave us great ideas of places to see and places to eat. Highly recommend
Caroline is the perfect host! Everything clean, cozy and comfortable. Up in the hills, the evenings were cool, but we had layers of blankets and even an electric blanket and space-heater. We had a fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, and the hot tube was at the perfect temperature! We would definitely stay here again!
Didnât want to leave. Everything about the home was perfect! We loved it. The cooler mountain location, the quietness, the remote location it was all wonderful. Canât wait to go back. All the amenities were perfect. Beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler everything you would need to enjoy the beach and traveling around the island.
Staying at Carson's Kaloko Mountain Cabin was such a relaxing and unique experience! The cabin is tucked away in this beautiful cloud forest above Kona, and it feels like a total escape from the busy world. It had everything we neededâfully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and the best part: the hot tub surrounded by lush greenery. Waking up to the sound of birds and occasionally spotting some chickens or sheep wandering around was such a treat. The cooler mountain air was super refreshing compared to the heat down by the beaches, and we spent so much time just hanging out on the porch enjoying the peaceful vibe.
Even though it feels secluded, itâs only a short drive to Kona town and the beaches, so itâs super easy to get around. The hosts, Caroline and Scott, were awesomeâsuper friendly and quick to help with anything we needed. We loved coming back to the cabin after a day of exploring and just chilling in the hot tub or cozying up inside. Itâs such a special spot, and weâd absolutely stay there again. Highly recommend if youâre looking for a chill, off-the-beaten-path getaway!
Beautiful tucked away. Oh so cool at night. Awaken to bird songs, enchanting view out of each window. Hot tub surrounded by a forest of ferns and flowers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this secluded cabin! Sitting on the deck and enjoying the beauty of the forest/jungle and the beautifully landscaped area around the cabin was very pleasant! The hosts were friendly and communication was great! The cabin was well supplied! All in all it was a great experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. We arrived late but we found our way easily with directions from the hosts. The place is magical, with ferns overhead, frog song and lush foliage and flowers surrounding us. Thereâs a lovely rustic feel to the cabin and we had everything we needed. The hosts were so kind, helpful and responsive. We were very comfortable in the cabin, out on the deck and the hot tub!
We loved that we were removed from Kona by only a short drive but that it felt like a whole different peaceful escape. We enjoy finding special places off the beaten path and out of the condo world and this place satisfiedâwe hated to leave. We would have easily been happy doubling our time there.
We rented this cabin for a week, it was perfect! Everything was what we were hopping for, you are in your own private little rain Forrest and it is very relaxing. The hot tub was very clean and we were easily able to fit the three of us in there. Not too far of a drive from town or the beach so it gives you all options while costing, along with privacy for when you return back. Nothing but praise for this rental!
Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! Our daughter loved the chickens greeting us every morning and the sheep walking up the driveway. We loved getting away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and traffic to our secluded cabin in the woods.
Enjoyed staying up Koloko in this little cabin in the woods. Privacy was nice and the hot tub was relaxing. It is a small cabin but has all of the amenities most people would need. I enjoyed the daily visits and songs from the chickens! Caroline and Tom are sweet and helpful hosts! Thanks for a unique stay!
Absolutely perfect rental. We all loved everything about the place - ideal location (very close to downtown Kona but in a quiet neighborhood), view of the ocean from the front, extremely clean and well decorated, with lots of special touches that made us feel at home. Excellent communications with the property manager as well.
What a fun find! We spent part of our time on the BI here, and part in the busier âtouristyâ part of the island near the shore. It was fun experiencing both. It was nice and cool here, and we loved hearing the coqui frogs at night. We definitely recommend.
This was a very cute cabin, not a house. The walls are thin. You need to turn on hot water about 10 minutes before use. That being said, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was nice to be away from town, secluded in such a pretty place, while still being only a few minutes away from everything. The hosts were great. We were welcomed with a nice note, fresh cut flowers, and after a bit, a greeting from Scott. Very nice place :)
Our stay at Caroline and Scottâs cabin in the cloud forest was even better than we hoped. It was so wonderful to come back up the mountain every afternoon after a morning of sightseeing or snorkeling to settle down and relax on the lanai, work on dinner (my awesome partner really enjoys cooking), and take a dip in the hot tub surrounded by the most amazing flora and fauna. The frequent afternoon rain showers were a bonus for this rain lover. The chickens WILL visit youâŠlol. The red girls came to check us out almost immediately. We loved them and shared bits of food with themâŠthus they came by regularly! Caroline and Scott are extremely thoughtful and generous hosts, and we were so appreciative of their hospitality. Very, very happy with our choice of home base during our Big Island adventure.
When you arrive and see a closed gate, someone just has to jump out and open, then close the gate - it is held by a rope. Instructions are on the gate. Stay to the left after the gate, pass the house on the left and continue up to the cabin.
This unit is in the cloud forest, so it's chilly at night and mornings. The bed is comfy and warm, but bring a good jacket and socks for waking hours. Then, just 10 min. downhill to the coast it's warmer and sunny. Among the farmyard animal array that mostly stay near the primary residence down the hill, it is the roosters that will show up in the morning. If you don't feed them, they will eventually leave, but watch out for the slick spots they leave on the deck. The shower pressure was exceptional for a cottage. In the corner by the Bose you will find beach chairs, an umbrella and coolers. The host were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed staying at the cabin in the forest, the hot tub really added to the experience! Also appreciated reasonably close proximity to beaches and airport.
