~Ao Lele~ Flying Cloud of Kīlauea

Tucked high in emerald treetops, on the forested slopes of Kīlauea Volcano, a cedar cabin outlooks the native rain forest 1.4 miles (2.2km) from Nāhuku (the lava tube) in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This sojourn allows one a presence with the environment, to embark on adventures around the island, and be at ease afterward. Your occasional companions include moonlit mist-laden trades, the subtle glow of the Milky Way, and peaceful morning light as melodic birds dart about the lanai.

Peaceful Rainforest Treehouse Retreat

Our Retreat is a labor of our love and was built as such. A getaway to relax, hike the nearby beaches, forests, and volcanoes and to simply enjoy life. Our place is a peaceful spot completely off the grid in nature. It is 8 miles to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. You’ll love our place because of the location, the ambiance, and the outdoor space. Our goal was to bring the outdoors in and the indoors outside. Our place is good for couples and solo adventurers.
