The treehouse really does look as awesome as it does in the pictures! But it really is a TREE. HOUSE. It is remote. You should 100% take all the advice from the hosts seriously in terms of what to expect. The treehouse is off-grid so there is a solar battery you can use for lights and phone charging but it will get drained if you aren’t careful. There is hot water for showers (and the shower is seriously cool) but it doesn’t last that long and takes some time to reheat water between showers. The treehouse is at the end of a pretty rough road so you definitely need to get a high clearance vehicle to get there. We went with a pickup truck (pro tip: way cheaper than renting a Jeep) and it was perfect.
But it’s also in a beautiful jungle, and super close to Volcanoes National Park and there’s wild chickens everywhere.
Overall, would definitely recommend the treehouse to anyone looking for unique accommodations and a little bit of an adventure. Just make sure your up for how off the grid it really is. It’s rugged and a little rough around the edges just like the Big Island itself, but like the Big Island, that’s more than half the charm.
