Cabin vacation rentals in Hilo

This house is just as tranquil and majestic as it looks in the photos. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, drinking our coffee outside in the morning in a jungle oasis, and dipping in the hot tub in the afternoon. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park and was the perfect home base while we were explored the area. We will definitely come back and would recommend to all!

Great stay! Perfect location right by Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! Enjoyed the hot tub on the cool evenings!

Es un lugar muy bonito y si lo que buscas es la aventura seguro te encantará. En nuestro caso, buscábamos descansar, pero debido a los ruidos del ambiente no pudimos. El acceso a las cabañas también nos resultó un poquito complicado porque no hay nada de luz por las noches. Pero en general es muy bonito.

5 STARS 5 STARS 5 STARS!!! My girlfriend and I went here for our 1 year anniversary and it was pure bliss. Far enough away from the city so you can have your own peace and comfort but close enough to drive wherever on the island. We loved the solitude of the location and the soothing sounds of rain, frogs, and birds surrounding the place. This place is a gem! To add, Malie was very responsive before, during, and after the process! Super helpful with great suggestions and clear instructions. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and experience!

Lorena's place here was a little sanctuary for us to retreat back to after venturing all over the different trails near the volcano (maybe a 10-15 minute drive to most of the areas you'd want to see). While I'd definitely suggest not driving in a sedan to her home (the roads were a bit bumpy), it was nice and secluded and the trek into the neighborhood truly added to the feeling of being immersed in nature. The house was clean, looked as expected, and we loved the hot tub to relax our muscles after the long hikes. The hot tub was really clean and obviously well maintained. I also appreciated Lorena reaching out multiple times with instructions and the address to make sure we got there safely. Thanks Lorena!

Enjoyed our stay in Cabin 6, it had everything we needed for trip to the island. Short drive to VNP and other Hilo. Birds are quite vocal through the night but that’s just a part of staying off the beaten path.

Loved the view of the volcano. Actually caught a rainbow in the clouds with the volcano behind. Great stars at night if it’s not cloudy. Make sure to bring warm clothes as the place gets pretty chilly. Space heaters and cozy blankets helped. Definitely use the fireplace to get a nice temperature in the living room.

The hot tub was amazing! This is the best air bnb I've ever stayed at in Hawaii and I'm super hard to please! Thankyou Marsha for the wonderful experience it's people like you who make Hawaii special!

I really enjoyed my stay at Kanixa's hale. The space was so cozy, comfortable, and clean. I liked the open air appeal from the outdoor kitchen and bathroom to the screened in living space. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt incredibly safe. Kanixa was proactive in providing house info and coordinating a check in time to ensure the space was clean before I arrived. I would stay here again if I spend more time on this side of the island.

great place to relax

We are so happy we discovered this hidden gem and will definitely be returning! It was the most incredible place we have stayed on the big islands: a perfect mixture between luxurious and natural! The pool front bungalows are pristine, comfortable and clean and are on an amazing pool deck which is like a huge tree house built in and around a vast forest of endemic Ohia trees! The pool deck features a pool, hot tub, rain showers, clean bathrooms, shared kitchen and a lounge area with many tranquil areas to relax and enjoy the forest. Drinking my morning tea in the hot tub, I saw several native birds flying among the Ohia trees! I highly recommend this place for people of all ages! My children loved it and enjoyed the freedom of not having to wear swim suits! Hosts were responsive and flexible and very accommodating!

The house was exactly what I was looking for and more — private, safe, surrounded by nature, within 15 minutes of a beautiful beach and pet-friendly. I was also happily surprised by the number of stores 10 minutes away in Pahoa’s town center including a Whole Foods like store called Malama Market, a CVS affiliate called Longs Pharmacy, great Thai food at Ning’s Thai and delicious breakfast at the Tin Shack Bakery. The weather was also better than I expected — I’d (correctly) anticipated daily tropical rain showers, but the late mornings through afternoons were almost always sunny during my June stay. And I was also pleasantly surprised that Instacart delivery people were able to successfully deliver goods from Hilo, 30-40 mins away. The house itself is beautifully decorated. I personally loved the crystals around the bed and flickering decorative lights. Those relaxing touches along with the sounds of nature — birds, frogs, insects and intermittent tropical rain — helped set the stage for some very restful sleep. I didn’t do any cooking beyond warming things up during my time there, but the refrigerator, freezer, oven and stove worked perfectly, and the shower water was nice and warm. Also, the car I rented from Kristen was perfect for my needs. You definitely need a car when staying here and one that can handle unpaved terrain. I loved my stay, and as long as you’re ok with lizards, insects, tropical rain, spotty cellular service supplemented by GREAT wifi, friendly kittens and a dog roaming the property, you’ll likely love it too.

Great place to stay. I loved listening to the chorus of frogs at night (bring earbuds if you need silence to sleep!). If you're shy or considering this for a trip with friends, note that there are no actual lockable doors between the shower/bathroom and anyone else - just curtains and well-managed angles. I was a little surprised by the free-roaming cats (since the Airbnb is otherwise quite nature-friendly), but enjoyed spending time with the more friendly cat who would stop by my unit. This was a great home base for visiting HVNP.

Probably one of the best Airbnb ever!! The place is just amazing, you can really tell that it was created with love and attention to details! Al is the best host, he was super fast in answering to all our questions and helping us with a small problem we had. Definitely a place to stay! Highly highly highly recommend !!!

An off grid location in a peaceful and natural island setting with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Only 10 minutes from either beautiful sites on the south coast or shops and provisions in Pahoa. Our boys loved the separate bunk building with two beds. Our group of five used alot of water but we only ran out one time. We let the host know and a refill was promptly ordered and waiting for us upon our return from the days activities. If you need communications, an AT&T network phone worked for us..(Pre-paid phones can be found at Walmart) Our group used alot of power, but the solar/battery system kept up well concidering. A group with reasonable power needs should have no problems with power availability. If you rely on a CPAP or simular device, a backup battery may be advisable to avoid interuption. Note that the nearby black sand beach is very beautiful but is a "Clothing Optional" beach. This place is at at the top of my list if I return to the east side of the Big Island.

I had a great stay at Ben and Katherine's property. The photos do not do it justice - it's tucked in the forest farms yet not far from the main road. The outside is lit up at night with plenty of solar lights through the evening and plenty of lighting inside as well. The cabin has EVERYTHING. Hot water, electricity, BBQ grill, a nice big sink by the grill for dishes and pans. The bathroom was super cool! Although it's open air, it does have two walls and a ceiling but the open area faces away from the road and into the forest for privacy. In the afternoon you can shower in the sunlight. Their son does an excellent job with the upkeep and the details throughout make you feel right at home. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive. If you want a quiet place to wind down to and wake up to close to volcano or even Hilo, this is it! I highly recommend and I look forward to coming back 😎

Beautiful location at what feels like the end of the world. We slept well and enjoyed both the sounds of nature and the beautiful and unique surroundings. While there are plenty of neighbors in the community, everyone seems to keep to themselves. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. The firepit in the pictures is not operable, which we found out after booking and really the only downfall for an otherwise great stay. A rental vehicle is required to get there and we were grateful to have rented an SUV. Highly recommended as the roads are rock/gravel with some small hills and quite the drive, but the closest town is about 15 minutes and will have anything else you need. Bring drinking water! The pictures do the cabin justice; it is open air but well maintained, comfortable, and worth the stay. Overall very good experience!

Holly's place was exactly as described. The photos do not do it justice. Sitting on the patio at night in the hot tub or next to the beautiful firepit was extremely relaxing looking out to the tropical forest listening to the coquis exceeded all expectations. I also picked up several fantastic ideas for our upcoming home in the same area. Their home was beautiful and extremely well built and planned.

Lovely cabin in a magical, lush Hawaii farm. I loved the sound of the birds and insects and the relative privacy I felt in my cabin tucked in the back of the farm surrounded by trees. The shared bathroom was well kept and the water was always warm.

I loved going to sleep to the frog chorus. and waking up to the chickens clucking. The jungle-like surroundings are beautiful, and it's very tranquil. I was a bit unsure after reading an earlier review that said there were bugs and the hosts were difficult. I'm glad I read all of the positive comments from other guests and stayed there anyway. I found it very clean, and didn't have any "roommates" or other issues. The hostess was sweet and very available. I will come back to this lovely spot.

I really enjoyed my 5 night staycation from Kealakekua Bay. Such a contrast . Loved the misty cool air and the landscape. I especially loved that I got to bring my two small dogs. They really loved the yard ! Listing is exactly as described ! Very convenient location to Volcano National Park and the Village ! I hope to return soon! Big Mahalo and Aloha, Heidi
