This campsite offers a unique off-grid experience nestled in the lush greenery of a fern forest. Guests rave about the tranquil setting, enhanced by the soothing sounds of nature, like frogs and rain. While amenities such as hot showers, a full kitchen, and WiFi add to the comfort, visitors should be prepared for the rustic charm of solar power and rainwater systems. The hosts, Sanna and her husband, are noted for their hospitality, and their dog Rocco adds a friendly touch to the stay.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the cabin! We were smack in the middle commute wise for everything we wanted to see and do. While it still feeling we were the only was on ground in the area! Our hostess Sanna was amazing! She told us all about the area and how her husband made the cabin from the ground up with his own two hands. 100% enjoyed our stay!

Lovely place to stay near the Volcano National Park, especially during summer, it was lovely to waking up surrounded by the nature. Reese was very kind and helpful.

Impressive off grid setup. Quiet (except for the coqui frogs). Very much off the beaten path. A unique experience. Maybe not for everyone; not quite camping, but not a hotel. Town is 15 to 20 minutes away, so bring your own food!

Sanna's place was amazing! Perfect place for Valcanoes National Park and seeing the Muana Loa eruption. A beautiful setting with plenty amenities. I definitely will be staying here again.

Sanna has put a lot of work into carving a homeplace out of the jungle and it shows. We stayed in a unit next door to the one you see in the listing - brand new to guests. Many little sweet touches had been made for our comfort - new lounge chairs on the lanai, matching towel sets, etc., and as time goes by I'm sure even more will be added. Map the location well when you are considering staying here - you will see that you get all the peace and joy of the jungle environment, and none of the town life. It's fully 30 min to VNP, but also that much closer to Hilo and points downhill. Also be aware of the fact that while you are still "camping" - real camping with pit toilets or outhouses is a number of steps rougher than using this very tidy biolet. It only requires that you care at all about energy efficient waste disposal, and are willing to spend one extra minute in the bathroom per use. The shower is hot and glorious. We spent many peaceful hours just enjoying the wild nature around us. Highly recommend.
