This has been one of the most special places I’ve ever been to. The sounds of the forest at night are surreal and can touch your soul.

We loved this peaceful retreat in Hilo! Our kids especially loved swimming at the waterfall, catching tadpoles, and looking at the goats. One of the workers, Tim, was very kind, thoughtful, and quick to help with whatever we needed. We would absolutely stay here again!

The lodge is on a beautiful piece of property, all of the cabins are super clean, prepped with fresh sheets and courtesy towels. The the public areas are incredibly well maintained and tidy, two bathrooms with showers and hot water, as well as a common area with a full kitchen, table, and couch. Hosts are very responsive and welcoming. Looking forward to staying there again!

This was a really lovely place to stay! We had a river-facing cabin where you could hear the waterfall clearly. My friends and I loved swimming in the waterfall area in the morning - and the stars were incredible at night. Very clean and very accommodating hosts.
