A very special place!
We loved to stay in the yurt: the room is lightabd airy, with beautiful wooden furniture and floors as well as comfortable furnishings. At night the yurt is cozy and the setting in the Fern Forest is very special. We had the perfect location for both the Volcano National Park and exploring Puna. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We would stay there any time again.

Quiet & relaxing in an amazing clean yurt!
We had a fantastic stay at the yurt! It’s quiet besides the welcome evening noises of nature. Stars are super bright and we spent hours on the porch in both sunshine and rain relaxing, reading and playing cards. The yurt is beautiful and super clean. Bed is comfortable, nice hot shower, and we have everything we needed. We were sad to leave and wished we had booked a few more nights. Super close to the Volcano national park for hiking, great Thai restaurant and little grocery in Volcano on the way home. I would stay here again and will recommend to friends/family that want to venture away from the Kona side. Hosts are extremely responsive, sent good directions and we felt welcome immediately.

Exotic!
This was our first time in a yurt! We are a family of four and totally enjoyed the experience. The sunroof lets in a lot of daylight, the barbecue and outdoor kitchen table were very convenient, and the way it is divided up makes it feel very spacious.

Very pleasant place
We enjoyed staying at Hale Kipa Fern Forest. We toured from Volcano Village to South Point with plenty of time just staying comfy in the yurt. Very well appointed with obvious attention to detail. We'll recommend to friends visiting the big island.

Amazing Yurt experience, zero carbon footprint. Eco living with modern amenities.
Gypsy & Dawn are amazing hosts. Upon arrival we were greeted and welcomed immediately. They gave us a tour of the property including their solar powered battery array and catchment system. Staying here was such a great experience, I've never stayed in a yurt before but it was everything you needed and more. Zero carbon footprint, rain water that is filtered, I felt socially responsible staying here and it was close enough to everything we wanted to see including the volcano National park. I will definitely look at this property when visiting the Big Island again!

Amazing vacation spot!
The yurt was immaculately clean and perfectly cozy! We were looking for place to stay close to friends without having to drive to a hotel in Hilo. This beautiful spot is exactly where we wanted to be. The bed was so comfy and the shower was hot. It can get cool outside in the evenings in Fern Forest but the yurt stayed comfortably warm inside and cool when you open up the windows during the day. We were able to have our friends over to bbq on the large back porch. We also love how peaceful it is off the beaten path!
