This is a hosted rental with our family also on this three acre property. You will likely see us only coming or going in the driveway. We are surrounded by forest reserve so you will be surrounded by the cool dreamy mists of Hualalai mountain and the sounds of nature, including birds and coqui frogs.

This is an opportunity to stay in the only "cloud forest" in the USA! Unlike rainforests that are typically muggy and humid, cloud forests are at cooler elevations and often shrouded in a dreamlike mist.
