Symphony of Croaky Frogs
Lovely area, laundry a bonus, air cooling units a plus, fire detector battery needs changed, a few more towels would be nice, and an extra baking sheet also. A bit dusty and locks could use a spray of silicone regularly. Overall a nice place to stay.

Wonderful cottage in the rain forest
We absolutely loved our stay! The location is perfect, right between Volcano National Park and Hilo. The grounds are amazing and the frogs sang us to sleep every night. The screened in porch is wonderful for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. The house is well maintained and very clean. Highly recommend.

Truly Special Rain Forest Property
Our family of four (two adults, two boys, 5 & 8) stayed here for 3 nights to explore the east side of the Big Island. We loved it! If you are a nature lover, you should definitely stay here. Every night, we played cards in the screened in porch and listened to the music of the frogs, birds, and other critters (truly special - you need to experience it yourself!). The cabin was the perfect size for us, had a great layout, and had a kitchen with everything we needed. Boys loved playing in the yard/garden and watching the chickens and other birds. I loved listening to the nightly rain on the roof, sipping Kona coffee on the porch, and enjoying the private garden atmosphere. It's close to Hawaii Volcano National Park, but also not too far from Hilo and other area sights. This is one of the most special and unique properties I've stayed in!

Delightful stay
Great property. We loved the secluded rainforest surroundings. Spent plenty of time on the screened in porch. Not much in the ways of amenities/attractions nearby, but that was expected, and not necessarily a bad thing. Loved the outdoor shower too.

Very homey feeling Hawaii-style! The kitchen was great, I found everything I needed. The beds were big and comfortable, plenty of blankets for cool evenings in the rain forest. The cute little electric fire place was adorable and the family sat around it. Everything was so clean and welcoming. The washer and dryer were excellent for all the beach towels and laundry. very family friendly.

Beautiful yard and cute little house
It is a lovely place to stay. It is fairly clean and tidy. It smells a little mildewy but I think given time of year, and environment, hard to control. The yard is marvelous. I was disappointed there was no hot tub as the listing indicated there is one. The TV is a smart tv and functional, but doesn't have hardly any apps to use.

Rainforest Hideaway
The Rainforest Hideaway was a perfect spot for taking in Volcano National Park! The house was not only convenient but charming! Decorated in a casual Hawaiian style - it made us feel like we were truly "living" there and not just visiting! Situated down a long drive with trees, orchids and a variety of Hawaiian plants - what an experience! Thank you so much - Mahalo! Marilyn and Myles

Cabin in Paradise
As soon as you pull onto the property, you know you're somewhere special. The property grounds are gorgeous, and you feel like you're all alone in the rain forest. There's no A/C in the house, but it is absolutely not needed. Open the windows and turn the fans on and it is perfect inside. There is also a rainwater catchment system, so they don't recommend drinking the warer out of the faucets. But the owners supply plenty of drinking water, so there are no problems at all! The location is perfectly situated to be able to spend time in Hilo and explore Volcanos National Park.

Rainforest Paradise
I booked this after reading the positive reviews and am happy I did so. The rainforest this house is nestled in is endlessly gorgeous. We spent a lot of time out in the screened-in lanai and in the evenings I sat out there with the lights off and eyes closed to enjoy the sound bath of nature. Super meditative! We spent a few days exploring the volcanoes (less than half an hour away) and Black Sand Beach (about an hour). We ate out both nights at Coconut Grill (our kids loved the fare). The house itself is cute, well equipped with fans and appliances. It was great to be able to wash our clothes in the washer/dryer. Beds were comfy. We stayed in our last night and cooked so we could enjoy the house and lanai. We were surprised that we weren't too bothered by mosquitos even though a few slipped in. We tried to seal a tiny hole in the screen in the lanai with the only "tape" we could find (a bandaid). Appliances (stove/oven, microwave, washer/dryer), showers, etc are great, but you may need to bring your own spices, foil, maybe an aluminum pan for baking if you plan to cook a lot, and a lighter for the mosquito coil. (Owner should consider adding a silicone spatula for use with the non-stick cookware). We made breakfast every morning and a fairly elaborate dinner our last night. Grocery stores/restaurants are about 26 minutes away. Once you pull into the property, you will feel like you're on your own secluded tropical island. We loved our stay and hope to return someday.

Wonderful Home With Talkative Wildlife
This is a fantastic, clean, affordable and cozy place to stay. At night the wildlife wakes up and sings you to sleep with really cool croaks, tweets and whistles. It’s off the beaten path just enough to get some quiet, but still close to the main highway to reach the national park easily. Owner is very communicative and friendly. A+

Great experience in the rainforest!
This home had everything we needed to spend our two nights comfortably and the location was perfect, not too far from Hilo or VNP. The birds singing in the morning and the coqui chorus at night were my favorite part about this stay :) My kids called it “glamping in the rainforest” haha! I was concerned about not having AC, but we didn’t even need it (although I think there is a portable one in the living area) and even got a little chilly at night sometimes. The weather was very pleasant when we were here (mid July) and the ceiling fans were enough for us. Also, for those who neeeeed white noise to sleep, there is an air cleaner in the master bedroom! Things to be aware of: -the roads leading up to the property are very dark at night. We got to the property around 8-9pm and it was pitch black from the main roads all the way in. Driving in the rainforest at night was an unexpected adventure haha -if you’re sensitive to mosquitos (aka sweetblooded), you will get bit but that’s expected in a rainforest. We sprayed ourselves with bug spray constantly but still got several bites. Linda does have a lot of mosquito repellent things on the screened lanai to help with this. -water pressure is pretty low but it wasn’t too bad for the amount of time we stayed. It takes a minute for the bathroom sink to get a good flow. Overall we really enjoyed our time staying here and would highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you Linda for sharing your beautiful property with us!!

Secluded, yet close to Volcanos National Park
Loved this place. It was nice to be so close to Volcanos NP. The Coqui frogs were a little noisy, but we'd brought earplugs. Hard to get away from them on the Big Island. Nice place with a screened in porch for relaxing. Washer and dryer in an outbuilding (along with the second toilet), which was handy. Enough kitchen things, although make sure you bring some oil (we brought ours). Rain water used for showering, etc. Owner brings water for drinking. Nice place, responsive (no issues). Thanks for hosting!

Rainforest getaway
We wanted to stay in a couple of different environments on our getaway to the Big Island, and this Mountain View home situated on 2 acres of tropical rainforest fit the bill nicely. Home was clean and the kitchen was well appointed. Beds were comfortable. Spent much of our time on the screened-in lanai. The grounds were appointed with many tropical flowers and plants. Home was in a quiet neighborhood, located about half way between Hawaii Volcanoes Nat'l Park and Hilo. Trips to Akaka Falls, Hawaii Tropical Bioeserve and Gardens, and Waipio Valley were all within an hour/hour and half drive. Property manager was friendly, communicative and helpful.
