Our unique jungalow provides space to relax & experience nature & adventure like never before. Nestled in a beautiful Hawaiian forest, this listing features a cozy cabin with a queen bed. The bathroom is traditional open Hawaiian style although still private. Showering outside in the rainforest is truly magical!

The space
Experience the ultimate Big Island rainforest escape while still enjoying the comforts that make your stay relaxing and easy. Stay in a traditional Hawaiian-style cabin surrounded by lush jungle, tropical fruit trees, and the soothing sounds of nature.

Our property is off-grid and powered by a newly upgraded solar system with battery storage and an automatic backup generator, allowing you to enjoy a sustainable stay without sacrificing comfort. We also offer strong Wi-Fi throughout the property and a 10,000-gallon rainwater catchment system that stays full year-round, providing endless hot rainforest showers.

This rustic under-the-sea themed jungalow features exposed stud walls, built-in shelving, and a cozy open feel inspired by island living. The cabin includes a queen bed, mini fridge, propane heater, private full bathroom, covered lanai, and thoughtful touches designed for comfort and simplicity. Please note this particular cabin does not have a window.

A shared outdoor-style kitchen is available and shared with just one other rental, creating a great opportunity to meet fellow travelers. The kitchen includes a brand-new washer and dryer, stainless steel sink, and all the cookware and essentials needed to prepare meals during your stay.

To help you experience the island like a local, we provide a detailed welcome guide filled with our favorite beaches, hikes, waterfalls, scenic drives, hidden gems, and mostly free activities that past guests have loved.

HOT TUB
Upgrade your room to include hot tub access. Relax beneath the stars in our communal hot tub deck featuring a plug-and-play spa surrounded by rainforest. Hot tub access is available for an additional $20 per night for the duration of your stay and must be arranged at least one day ahead of reservation.

TOURS & RAINFOREST NIGHTS
At night, you’ll be surrounded by the sounds of the living rainforest. To get a feel for the nighttime ambiance, search “Bathing Suits and Rain Boots” on YouTube for examples of what the coqui frogs sound like at night. Think of it as the rainforest’s own nighttime quartet — a uniquely Hawaiian soundtrack many guests find peaceful, cozy, and magical.

BEACH GEAR
Guests are welcome to use our boogie boards, surfboards, snorkel masks, snorkels, and beach towels for island adventures.

ANIMALS & FARM LIFE
We operate a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue on the property, so there may be rescue dogs on the acre at any given time. Guests are welcome to interact with the dogs after coordinating with the host, and some guests enjoy taking them on walks or outings to help socialize them and prepare them for adoption.

The property is also home to chickens and a working tropical homestead where we grow foods such as lilikoi, bananas, papayas, pineapple, figs, strawberries, poha berries, sugar cane, lemons, blood oranges, rosemary, basil, and more depending on the season.

MISC DETAILS
There are four cabins total on the one-acre property. While the cabins are nearby, guests generally find them more private and peaceful than hotels or condos with shared walls.

Rainforest massages are available on-site starting at $100/hour.

At approximately 1,880 feet elevation, evenings can become cool and cozy, especially during the winter and rainy season. All cabins include propane heaters for comfort. If visiting during winter months, we recommend bringing light layers, a rain jacket, and rain boots for exploring comfortably.

This stay is perfect for travelers looking for an authentic, sustainable, and memorable rainforest experience that combines adventure, nature, community, and island charm.
