Enchanting Rainforest Hideaway, on 2 Private Acres to yourself. Pahoa/Keaau

This property is much nicer than we imagined. It’s beautiful, private, safe, and the owners are great. We stayed four nights there and the property is so large and private, I was perfectly comfortable using the outdoor shower. There’s even a wonderful claw foot tub in the large bathroom. I only wish we had stayed longer, and will definitely stay there again.

This cabin was perfect! Immaculate and very comfortable. The location was great and the hosts were wonderful. We had a really nice and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

Connie had every sort of amenity we could have hoped for! The house was well stocked, comfortable, and exactly what we needed to relax on our island escape.

Connie & Andrew were warm and welcoming. We only saw them to get the keys. The Hideaway, a comfortable and cozy spot, is perfect for two people. The kitchen was stocked with all the right equipment for cooking at home. The bed was comfortable. We loved the outdoor shower, with fast-working hot water. The coqui frog symphony at night might not be for everyone, but I loved it, and found it relaxing. We would definitely come back, and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time staying in the rain forest cabin. Our hosts were wonderful and attentive to our every need and question. The outdoor shower is a real thrill. Would definitely stay again.

This stay was beyond expectations. A truly wonderful short term rental and a rare find indeed. The next time you need a place near Hilo but still away from the crowds, pick this spot. Magical.

This secluded hideaway in the lush Puna District was everything we hoped for and more. The attention to detail throughout the home and surrounding grounds was absolutely impeccable. We especially loved the screened windows that let the fresh tropical trade winds flow through, creating a peaceful and airy atmosphere. Falling asleep to the sound of the Coqui frogs and sipping morning coffee on the deck while watching the birds and wild chickens was pure bliss. Andrew was a wonderful host, generously sharing insights about the property and making us feel right at home. A special touch we’ll never forget—fresh flowers from the garden in every room! As other guests have said, the outdoor shower was amazing—taking showers after a humid day with a light jungle rain falling around us was an unforgettable experience. While everything was perfect, a couple of small additions like a variety of pillow options and a slightly larger outdoor barbecue would make it even more ideal, creating an inviting atmosphere for cooking and spending more time outdoors. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return one day. Mahalo for an unforgettable experience!

I can’t even begin to tell you how spiritual, restful and wonderful it was staying at the Enchanted Rainforest Hideaway! Connie and Andrew were the best hosts ever! The Hideaway is absolutely beautiful, well stocked and private!! Connie met me upon arrival and reviewed everything with me. It is the most restful place I have ever stayed in on a trip. The coqui frogs are very soothing to listen to as you fall into your slumber every night. There is a little black cat, that I think lives next door and visits often. The landscaping is beautiful, and the home is set back from the street with a secure gate for privacy. Connie was so kind during the review of the property and then I didn’t need anything because of her and Andrew’s attention to detail. The Hideaway is beautifully decorated and comfortable. There is a washer and dryer, microwave, coffee pot, dishes…. everything you need. I love the outdoor shower and even used it in the middle of the night when I had to get to the airport for a very early departure. This place was exactly what I needed to check out of life, rest, reflect and rejuvenate! I will definitely be coming back. I didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home. Thank you Connie and Andrew for all your kindness, hospitality and Aloha spirit! Mahalo Nui

Very peaceful place with a lot of privacy. The outdoor shower was wonderful, pics represented the home precisely. Enjoyed coffee on the lanai while watching the chickens scurry about the property. The cats were fans of all the petting and so fun to feed them while away from our own. Each and every thing was as described in listing. Don’t miss this special hideaway.

A place to stay where time slowed down and where we knew we were away. A home that is immersed in nature while offering more accommodations than we needed. Simply Lovely!

Private lush jungle setting a beautiful screened in living space with a tropical feel. We have a great time exploring the east side of the big island from here. We recommend it for a restful and relaxed vacation. Cheers.
