Looking forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty and peace of this sacred land. Our adjacent property has a quiet sanctuary space for you to do your yoga, meditation practice etc. We also have yoga and Qi gong classes during the week. Please PM us for the schedule.
We have a full beautiful outdoor kitchen for your use. We love to share our abundance of tropical fruit and coconuts with you! Over 21 varieties!
Our compost toilet and outdoor showers are just a short walk from your cabin .

The space
The Butterfly is quaint and peaceful! It's very simple and comfortable for a solo traveler or a couple . It’s surrounded by Tropical Flowers, Mango Trees, Cacao and a Citrus Orchard. We are completely off-the-grid with electricity in the shared kitchen for phone charging . Maybe time to unplug and connect with the Earth. This is a place where you can forget about the outside world and have deep peace inside. All of our water is collected from the rain with a 3 filter system. There are two bathrooms, one is a compost toilet , the other is a shared but private flushing toilet. We also have a unique outside private Lava shower and two outdoor bamboo showers.
Our 3 acres are abundant with mature Coconut trees, Papayas, Bananas, Cacao, Mamay Sapote, Lilikoi, Avocados, Rombuton, Breadfruit, Jackfruit, Soursop, Mangostein Etc Etc. A Permaculture Organic Paradise! We love to share what's in season with you!

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty and peace of this sacred land with you. Many can feel the decades of healing that have happened here when they step on the property. If your wanting a condo on the beach with lots of tourists this isn't your place. If your ok with the outdoors, geckos, maybe a bug or two and sweet outdoor kittys then this might be your place in paradise.

Guest access
We have a beautiful sanctuary space for personal yoga practice etc. on our adjacent property. It is available for guests when not in use. Throughout the week we have Qiqong and yoga classes. Throughout the year people in our community offer healing classes as well. The equipped outdoor kitchen is available for our guests to use. There is a guest refrigerator. You will have a bin and food safe for your dry goods. We ask that everything be left clean and all food put away and sealed. Also no food in your room please. The 3 acres have sweet meditative spots to rest, read, write, do art and have complete solitude. We have blankets or chairs for you to use to tuck away with.

During your stay
We are here if you desire any support in having a wonderful experience, otherwise, you have your privacy.

Please call and we will do our best to accommodate
Victoria and Gray Owners

Other things to note
This is a completely off grid neighborhood. Which is so refreshing to have almost no EMFs. This area is also used as a standard for the freshest air on the planet even with Volcano close by! So if your looking for a cemented place that keeps out all of the elements this may not be your place. It is fully screened and has walls but a gecko or a bug may sneak in. If you want television, large data internet, air conditioning, ( instead of tropical breezes) this may not be be your place. The temperatures are very temperate in this area . 65 to 85 degrees is the norm. We have luxury in the jungle with our state of the art solar system and rain catchment but we still ask that guests be mindful of resources. All of our water is collected from the rain with a 3 filter system and ultra violet filter. It's amazing to be so connected to the sun's energy and using rainwater. You will be close to the elements and experience tropical nature, smells and sounds ( you may want earplugs if your a light sleeper). Much more soothing than city traffic and sirens.
At & T works well on the property. Verizon gets a bar or two w our booster. We do have Starlink internet and ask for $5/day $20 week

The sanctuary is next door at our original property. There's Yoga and Qigong weekly. Inquire with the available hostesses for the schedule. We periodically have private retreats etc. It's a slight possibility the sanctuary won't be available during your stay. It's also possible we will have a Van to rent. Let us know if that is of interest.

Neighborhood highlights

There are local art and music events happening throughout the week. Ecstatic dances on Sundays and Thursdays are continuing in Hilo. Open Mic every Monday at the Kava Bar, and Uncle Robert's every Wednesday at Kalapana are still lively events . Makuu Farmers Market is loaded with local produce, crafts and more every Sunday. Kehena Beach, Shipman's Beach, Mermaid Tide Pools , a new black sand beach and a few local secret spots are open to visit. This is authentic Hawaii, an area where time can stand still. There is little to no traffic, very few homes on the coast, canopied trees over the road opening into crashing waves on the black lava! Breathtaking!! Our sweet town of Pahoa is 10 miles away with incredible restaurants, markets, health food store, bank, post office, library etc. The beautiful town of Hilo is 27 miles away with wonderful history and an incredible waterfront.

Gray and I are so grateful to be stewards of this magical land! We love to do our best to create a wonderful experience for our guests. Looking forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty, peace and calm of this land with you. We love to start our day with a quiet walk in the jungle and our way back gather produce from our neighborhood fruit stands. We enjoy the quiet laid back vibe we have on this side of the island and one of the cleanest airs on the planet! Our favorite part of this property is all the fruit trees and the plush landscape !
