You’re probably looking at this place and thinking, “Um, do I really want to stay out on a lava field?” Yes. You do. The lava is a beautiful other-worldly landscape. This side of the island is a great place to seek fun and adventure, and this place is a perfect home base off the beaten path. We had way more fun here than in Kona. The cabin is beautiful and cozy, and the front driveway is amazing place to star gaze. This place is the perfect complement to the sense of adventure that you’re seeking if you choose to stay on this side of the island, without sacrificing comfort.
The road to get there is unpaved, but any SUV is totally fine. You don’t need a serious off road vehicle; just be prepared for a few bumps. Totally worth it!!!
On a clear night, you can see the Milky Way from the driveway. We also watched a truly amazing sunrise at 5am…if you’re willing to get up for it. :)
We hope to come back someday; this place was truly magical.
