Hilo House Summary

A year round stream just outside the door, a spring fed koi pond, a 79,000 gallon fishing pond and absolute total privacy, all make this rain forest house a truly a unique vacation experience. Relax by the stream and read or enjoy the private indoor sauna. You can curl up by the fireplace in a truly romantic hideaway. As you enter this property you drive along a private 400 ft long driveway surrounded by giant tree ferns, 100 ft. tall palms, wild mango and avocado trees and fragrant ginger. This lovely property invites you to become 'one with the aina' (the land). The entire 2+ acres is it's own secluded valley and offers you absolute privacy. It cannot be seen by any other house and has only one gated access. This vacation rental gives you the ultimate 'get away from it all' experience without driving out to the middle of nowhere. We are easy to find and we are NOT off the grid. This house has Hawaii County Water and electricity, no catchment water or generators to deal with.

The Hilo side of the Big Island is truly unique and offers unparalleled sightseeing. This property is close to numerous waterfalls; Umauma Falls (3 min.), Kolekole (5 min.), Akaka Falls (15 min.), Rainbow Falls (20 min) and beautiful Onomea Bay (10 min.) yet only 20 minutes from the quaint historical Hilo Town. Pick up local fresh fruits and vegetables at the wonderful Hilo farmers market or take a drive up to Volcano's National Park and experience Madam Pele (Hawaiian Goddess of Fire) at her best. Hike out to where 'aina' is being born as Kiluea flows hot molten lava into the ocean. A short 3 miles back down Hwy. 19 to Kolekole Beach Park will give you the opportunity to swim in a huge waterfall that drops into a stream. This waterfall is located in a City & County Park and admission is free. It is rarely found by tourists and is easily accessed by car with a nice paved road (no hiking required) it even has a rope swing. *See the photo of this great waterfall.

Hilo House Details

'Romantic Retreat With A Fireplace & Indoor Sauna': Build a romantic fire in the fireplace or enjoy a steam in the private indoor cedar sauna. The master bedroom welcomes you with a new 'Perfect Sleeper' Eastern King sized bed with an adjacent master bath. Both bathrooms have full size tubs and showers. The second guest bedroom offers you a new Queen Size pillow-top bed. And a very important feature...This private little valley and surrounding area is 'Cokey Free'. (NO 'high pitched' screaming Cokey Frogs!) Fall asleep to the crickets singing and the soothing sound of the stream running over the rocks. It is also one of the few houses on the Hilo side of the island that does not have a metal roof (less than 1%). Metal roof you say? If you have stayed on the Hilo side before and have found yourself wide awake in the middle of the night to the clatter of rain on a metal roof or the racket of the high pitched Cokey Frogs, then this is the house for you. It has a conventional shingle roof and so far....No Cokey Frogs!!!

'Two Ponds And A Weeping Wall': The master bedroom has a large Koi Pond just outside the window and the koi will be stirring and waiting for you when you wake up (their auto-feeder is set for 9:00am). Both bedrooms look out onto a beautiful year round stream that runs completely along the perimeter of the property. A second large pond (79,000 gallons) stocked with tilapia, is just outside the front door. There is also an outdoor shower for those who like to enjoy nature at its best. Just outside your living room windows, across the pond there is a weeping wall, constantly running water down its rough lava face. These places are often called 'Pele's Tears'. It is said of 'weeping walls' that 'Pele' the Hawaiian Fire Goddess who created the 'aina' is weeping for her children (the islands). We often see a beautiful and rare Hawaiian Hawk (Pronounced...'Io). She likes to come in the mornings and hunt crawdads out of the stream. Watch her from your table as she perches on the large boulders and enjoys her breakfast.

'Become One With The Aina (the land)': This lovely 2+ acre property invites you to become 'one with the aina' (the land). The entire 2+ acres is it's own little secluded valley and offers you absolute privacy. It cannot be seen by any other house and has only one way in and out. The bordering sides of the property are steep valley walls. This vacation rental gives you the ultimate 'get away from it all' experience without driving out to the middle of nowhere. We ARE NOT off the grid. This house has County of Hawaii Water and Electricity, we ARE NOT dependent on solar, generators or catchment water as most rain forest properties are. A short 3 miles back down Hwy. 19 to Kolekole Beach Park will give you the opportunity to swim in a huge waterfall that drops into a stream. This waterfall is located in a City & County Park and admission is free. It is rarely found by tourists and is easily accessed by car with a nice paved road (no hiking required) it even has a rope swing. *See photo below of this great waterfall.

Guest Book: Thank you so much for letting us stay at your amazing place. It was absolutely beautiful. There was nothing lacking; it had everything we could have needed. The sound of the stream, the lush forest and no cokey frogs, what a great place to spend Easter. It left us wanting nothing but more time and another visit. Stefanie Stephenson, Salt Lake, UT (stef.jeppson@gmail.com) Just want you to know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and the garden/waterfall/and ponds were breathtaking. We did and saw so many things. I would recommend your place to anyone who wants to have a beautiful private getaway. Mahalo ( thank you for the enjoyable time) Barb & Verne (sfscgirl@yahoo.com) The word is 'Indescribable'. For a few days, I thought I was in Heaven. Nowhere in all my years of traveling have I been surrounded by a 'lost valley' of such magnificent beauty! Add to that the complete, lovely house amenities and you will never forget this Shangri-La corner of paradise. Ada
