Lush tropical cabin
Dawn was a great host. She thought of everything you could want or need. We loved the vibe and the remote location. Coqui frogs are loud - we love them but others may not so just know ahead of time they are there. The cats are super friendly and keep you company on the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our time at a green cabin. Property is organized with love, every detail is magical, string lights along the path, cute cabin decor, jungle shower, big comfy bed and lovely cats and dogs who came for a visit to our cabin terrace (donât worry they do bark but they are sweet). Thereâs warm water in shower, itâs also private to your cabin! There was separate kitchen building but we didnât cook. Would love to spend more time there and will definitely come back <3 thank you!

Mermaid Lair with Rainforest Shower
Awesome stay. Great base for getting into Volcanoes National Park. I slept like a baby every night and would often make it to the park by sunrise. I loved having the cats and dogs around. The dogs will bark when you arrive but settle down fast, so donât let that put you off. They are all friendly especially the puppy named Pocket. Dawn was a gracious host, mahalo!

Dense Rainforest Getaway
The cabin at Dawn's property was simple and perfect for us. We loved having an outdoor shower surrounded by such dense foliage that a shower curtain wasn't needed at all. Dawn was easy to work and communicate with. The shared kitchen is huge and well-equipped; we met some Austrian travelers there. The property is far from the nearest streetlight or business, and feels very secluded. It is among other houses, but the greenery is too dense to see them. All in all a great value and a lovely getaway!

Mermaid Lair with Rainforest Shower
It was a brief, but great stay! We were taking a weekend trip from Oahu, so we just spent one night. By the time we arrived, it was pitch black but we had no problem finding the property or getting back to the cabin due to the very thorough instructions. We were greeted by the sound of very talkative coqui frogs (seriously, it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but SO cool) and a very friendly kitty that followed us to the cabin and sat with me on the porch for a long time. The room was comfortable and had all the basic things needed. My only complaint is due to all the solar lights outside not working, it was pitch black while trying to use the outdoor bathroom/shower. We needed to utilize our phones lights or the small lights provided to walk around. I was nervous but really enjoyed the âopen airâ showering facing the woods, but it was a really cool experience. Would definitely stay again if I find myself on the island! Very loud at night between the frogs and rain on the tin roof, so if you donât mind that youâll have a great stay (and if you donât, dawn provides ear plugs in the room! All in all, beautiful location and awesome stayđ
