Please read the entire description of the cabin so there aren't any surprises.
Come experience this cute cozy OFF GRID cabin nestled in the woods, surrounded by tall Ohi'a trees with lots of tropical birds to serenade you. Situated at 2000' elevation (which means it might get a bit chilly at times), on a very private, peaceful, gated 20 acre piece of land on the Southern most part of the Big Island. Located half way between Kona and Hilo with 2 grocery stores and a few restaurants nearby, 60 miles from the Hawaii Volcano National Park entrance, 15 miles from the famous Green Sands Beach and Punalu'u the black sand beach where you'll find Hawaiian Hawksbill turtles sunning on the sand.
The Kahuku Unit of the Volcano National Park is right around the corner and is now open to the public. There are beautiful hiking trails, guided or on your own, a gift shop, and information center. Open Thursday - Sunday 8-4
There are a few restaurants nearby for your dining pleasure.
The cabin is half way between the Kona and Hilo airports and takes about an hour and a half to get here from them.
The cabin has one bedroom with a queen size bed, one bathroom with plenty of tankless on demand hot water, a complete kitchen (2 burner stove top - NO OVEN) and is completely self sufficient - solar power, rain water catchment, propane appliances. Linens, dishes, pots and pans, and a coffee press are available for your convenience. Since the power is from the sun, no hair dryer, curling iron, or things of that nature can be used. There's a DVD player with a variety of movies for your entertainment. Most cell phones work here and wi-fi is available.
Smoking permitted outside only. Please no outside guests or visitors or pets.

We were looking for a quiet place off the beaten path, and this property more than met the bill. The host Connie is outstanding! She quickly replied to any questions we had. The off the grid cabin is perfect for an out of the way stay. Located on the south side of the island, you are between Hilo and Kona. We so enjoyed the area's black and green sand beaches. Thanks to Connie for sharing her bit of paradise with us.

We loved the privacy of this nice little cabin and couldn't get enough of all the beautiful tropical flowers in the yard. It felt very private while still being close to amenities, and Connie was great with answering any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful--We played Jurastic Park Theme every time we drove in and out ...You expected dinosaurs to pop out.

We loved everything about our 4-night stay here and only wish we'd had more time. The cabin is cozy, comfortable and provided everything we needed to relax and feel at home. We really enjoyed being off-grid and appreciated being conscious of the amount of electricity and water we used-but certainly didn't lack anything we needed. We cooked light meals in the evening and enjoyed a few movies before bed. The stars at night from the deck were amazing. It does get cool-pack layers.
The cabin is situated on the property to allow for total privacy as it's tucked back along the border of HVNP-Kuhuku Unit. The property is an oasis-the variety and mix of plants/trees is delightful. The location is excellent to explore HVNP and there are several beach options just a short drive away.
The owner, Connie, provided just the right amount of hands-on when we arrived, to get us situated and provide what info we needed for the cabin and to answer any questions we had. After we checked in we didn't see anyone the entire time we were there but exchanged a text or two with Connie to ask a quick question or send a friendly check in. She really made us feel at home-like we were her invited guests as opposed to just 'renters.'
We'd definitely recommend this place to any friends and family looking for an authentic taste of Hawai'i. We certainly hope to be back.

Terrible service, wall to wall bed is fine if you can pull it out to make it. Ants and traps, termites spiders and webs. Recliner falls in on one side. The other option is a futon that I never bothered to pull out.
Didn’t bother to cook the few nights were there. This was the worst customer service I have ever paid for being yelled at then saying she “might have been a bit harsh”
Left to go to a nicer place. Then she had the gall to argue with me for almost an hour then texting me saying that not one ant there. If you have the ability to be totally off grid even with out Wi-Fi to do business or any more than 3/4 roll of TPaper and you have to watch the batteries and not let it get down below a certain level and don’t mind bugs it’s ok. But make sure you don’t mind being yelled at or arguing with the owner this is the place to go......

I truly appreciate this lovely quiet cottage...after a day of exploring it was. Nice to come home to . We came in March..weather wasn't always great..but a nice rainy day gave the excuse to slow down and take it easy with good food, movies and books. That in itself is worth everything..for those of us that don't have slow lives! Connie is great..fun to talk to..and very nice about giving you your space..I enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.
