Cabin vacation rentals in Hilo

A quiet, clean and private space in the Big Islands most beautiful place. Conveniently located near the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, while remaining a safe distance away, allowing me to rest peacefully on an active volcano! Did you see the part about the hot tub? Enjoy the sounds of forest birds from the warmth of a bubbling jacuzzi, beneath the Hawaiian moonlight, shadowed in the canopy of an old growth forest. Sip a glass of your favorite fermented grape juice, locally made just a stones throw away. The Ohu Bean coffee truck down the road serves up the best espresso and lattes around. I hope you enjoy your stay, I sure did.

The A-frame cabin had everything we need, and felt like a really comfortable space to be in. I would happily return there to stay longer. It fitted a family of four just fine, and felt spacious inside and out. The heated blankets are appreciated on a cool evening. It’s a short drive to Volcanoes National Park, and a perfect base for exploring. Check in and check out felt very relaxed.

Just cute as a button and so darn restful inside! Kitchen is top notch. Beds were very comfortable. Lighting is a nice touch and fittingly relaxing like everything else about this place. Deck is covered ensuring outdoor evenings. It’s VERY close to Volcanos National Park and makes it very easy to explore that place. When you’re not exploring this is a terrific place to put your feet up. Bring some good cause you’ve got a great kitchen and there aren’t a lot of amazing options in town. Stop at a farmers market, get yourself some Ka’u or Kona coffee, and come relax!!

Looks just like the photos! The place was cute and had all the amenities described. Would stay again!

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.

If you are going to be in this side of the Big Island this airbnb is a must! Love the place!! I wish we would have stayed longer! First of all what a paradise, very cute and clean. Love the outdoor shower and of course all the amenities. I personally enjoyed walking up in the morning have a cup of coffee in the porch and at night returning from all our sightseeing and enjoy the hot tub while listening to the frogs and the birds outside. Our host was very proactive and return a message promptly even though I was not expecting it. Thank you for everything!

Great place, very close to the park entrance- a little off the grid, but plenty of heaters and blankets and a great base camp. Gary was very responsive and helpful

Magical jungle living close to the Volcano National Park. Dawn is a wonderful and friendly host whose put a lot of love into her jungle property and it shows. The outdoor bathroom was excellent, kitchen well stocked and falling asleep every night listening to the sounds of nature made it a wonderful place to explore the Hilo side of the Big Island. Adding on the Hot Tub was a great perk after a long day at the park. My partner and I also loved chatting with Dawn and meeting her resident pups! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a true jungle experience in Hawaii.

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.

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.

Kirpal was such a beautiful, peaceful and welcoming environment to spend three days in. Unfortunately there was a mix up with our cabin, it was double booked by the host and thus we arrived after 24hrs of travel to this news that the cabin was not available for our stay (which we had booked a substantial amount of time in advance and had confirmation emails). However - the staff at the time compensated for this mix up with alternative cabins/tent for the first night, complimentary breakfast, yoga, and a partial refund. James in particular went out of his way to compensate for the mix up and it was really appreciated - mahalo James! All other aspects of Kirpal were fantastic, the cabins were a dream and the dinner was delicious. I would return in a heartbeat, and hope to return soon. Thank you for having us.

Kirpal is a fantastic place, with a real community vibe. I'd highly recommend it as a place to getaway and embrace your mind, body, soul and connect with new people and the environment. It's off the beaten track, so having a car is preferable. Take advantage of the yoga classes and vegan meals, they are fantastic. Befriend the other guests and workers, they'll become your family after a few days. Make sure you ask before eating the fruit from the orchard, some isn't safe/ready.

Holly’s Place was very beautiful and secluded and serene. We loved the surrounding forestry and the amenities! She was very communicative and brought us some yummy fresh eggs! We enjoyed our short stay and highly recommended it. Well worth the price. Yes the roads here in Hawai’i are pretty treacherous. Just follow her instructions well and it’ll be no problem to get there.

Great experience and very friendly host and neighbors. This bamboo hut is welcome to everyone who wants a retreat or living far away from the network. There is even a sanctuary room for meditation. However, when i lived there, there was a hurricane. So it's kind of scary to hear the strong wind blowing the jungle and trees/leaves hitting the rooftop.
