Exceptional 10/10 Peaceful Forest Paradise

Immerse yourself in an exceptional once-in-a-lifetime all 5-star experience on the Eastern tip of the Big Island, in this newly renovated lava themed suite. Surrounded on three sides by native forest, forming a natural flower lei, and open to gorgeous skies and breezes from the north, this gem is a favorite of repeat guests. Nearby sights abound as well as a lovely 40 minute drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 15 minutes to the ocean and many other incredible sights. This is the real Hawaii, not a hotel. If adventure is your thing you won't want to miss the beauty and thrill of nature's explosive volcanic power and return to relax in comfort and style where guests remark on the fantastic sound sleep they experience.
This two story, newly renovated, custom home invites you in to a one of a kind interior experience, your own lava themed decor private guest suite. Entire second floor is yours, featuring a private lanai off your bedroom with native forest view, queen sized bed plus unique bespoke furniture made by your host using reclaimed wood. A beautiful marble tiled private bath with walk-in shower and multiple shower heads, work desk, separate living room with sofa bed, elevated ceilings and two closets. In addition to the master bedroom, your private space provides a separate living room with a queen futon sofa bed, mini-fridge, microwave oven and coffee maker. A whole house UV filter system provides safe, drinkable water throughout the home.
Views of the forest can be seen from the many windows and private lanai creating an indoor treehouse effect. Property is forested on three sides and open to breezes and sky from the north. This lava themed home sits in the heart of Hawaii, in Leilani Estates, on the Big Island.
Situated on an acre wrapped in native Hawaiian rain forest, fruit trees, flowers and birds, comfortable country living in this 1,700 square foot spacious two-story, custom home is what Hawaii vacations are all about. Relax in the peace and quiet of this forested acre, view the sunset from your private lanai and the night sky from the outdoor covered area. Venture out to view lava eruptions, waterfalls, beaches, mountains and many more exciting and breathtaking Big Island spots, then return to relax in peace and comfort.
The entire upper floor is yours, but that's not all. Enjoy shared access, with the owner only, to the spacious lower floor with yet another living room, fully furnished, high ceilings, forest views, Roku tv. Plus fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, air fryer, blender, mixer, microwave, gas range etc. Indoor and outdoor lanai, meditation room with massage rocking chair and Buddha bed. Also included, new washer and dryer, and spa bath. Covered outdoor seating, with surrounding garden makes a nice dining experience. Free Wi-fi throughout.
Owner is a 35 year resident and an award winning baker who resides in the home in separate private rooms on the lower floor. If you mention your favorite dessert, don't be surprised if it magically appears.
The remaining lower floor, as described above, is a shared area, shared with the owner only. Your privacy is highly respected. Two people is the maximum number of guests per party. One party per stay.
The lava eruption of 2018 in Leilani Estates has left behind a spectacular landscape of some of the world's newest Earth, most majestic rain forests and dramatic views.
Pahoa town, with it's funky charm, is only 5 minutes away, with many unique shops and restaurants. Kehena Black Sand Beach is 18 minutes away, with a view of serene, swimmable coastal tide pools along the route. Be sure to visit Pohoiki Beach, a short drive through a dramatic coastal landscape of forest and lava to a black sand beach that is a favorite of local surfers. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a must see, about a 40 minute drive. Take a day trip to Kona on the other side or just a walk around the block, the Big Island's beauty is everywhere.
If you're looking for adventure, the Big Island is your best choice. If an unforgettable experience, like no other, is your desire, Lava Forest Retreat awaits you.
Aloha.

Clean, relaxing, comfortable, and with an amazing host! Krissy made us feel at home with her warm and hospitable personality. The space was tucked away in a lovely neighborhood central to all our sightseeing points on the east side of the island.

Clean, well-kept and tranquil.
This a lovingly maintained property, and Christine is a gracious host. Youʻll marvel at the profusion of plants in her garden and in the rainforest that partly surrounds her property, all visible from a lovely lanai off this second-story suite! Comfortable and serene -- a genuine taste of Hawaii life far from the tourist resorts.

Unique, lovely, friendly
This is a special place owned and run by a special lady. The location is excellent with marvelous destinations nearby—if you can tear yourself away from the second floor deck ten feet away from the picture-perfect rain forest. Needless to add, it is highly recommended.

Wonderful Stay
My husband and I stayed here a couple nights on our honeymoon and we loved it! The property is in a lush, green environment and we went on runs/walks often to enjoy all the beauty. The room was wonderful, the shower had three shower heads, and the jacuzzi looks into a beautiful view of the greenery and sky. Christine was so thoughtful in providing everything we needed to feel comfortable, from house slippers to laundry amenities, and beyond. She also was very hospitable, gave helpful suggestions of activities available nearby. Overall a great experience!

Family Visit
We chose this property mainly because of how close it was to where our family lives in Pahoa. That being said, if we were to come visit again this property would definitely be a top choice. Christine was very hospitable and friendly and super quick to answer any questions we had about the property and its amenities.

A great stay in a wonderful jungle neighborhood
My brother and I had a great stay at the house in Leilani estates. It was very peaceful and quiet. The house was nice and secluded in the Hawaiian jungle. There were lots of beautiful palm trees and various other kinds of fruit trees and plants. The hostess was great. She cooked a meal and invited us to share on several occations. She was a wonderful hostess. This was an overall outstanding stay at this location.

Great experience-Jungle feel with stars
This was my first hosted property, and at first I was hesitant. But as soon as I met the host-Krysti, I instantly felt welcome, and at the end of the trip was really glad I took the chance on something new. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give food and activities recommendations. And one of my favorite things was the meditation room. I was there for work and pleasure so the room came in handy more than once haha. Oh and can’t forget about the jungle sounds and stars at night! Best sleep I’ve had in years! Highly recommend staying here, you won’t regret it.

This was a very relaxing and clean spot. The tree frogs chirping at night was extremely soothing. We felt safe and learned a lot about the island from Chrissy. Her cookies were to die for!

Excellent Time In Paradise
The property was beyond expectations and more than we could have imagined! The wildlife, nature and rainforest setting were simply amazing. Sitting outside soaking in the natural beauty is a highlight that will be treasured forever. Our impression is that the property is well maintained, and the value of nature is respected by the owners. Clean, charming and serene all come to mind when describing this property. Will definitely be back!

Owner lives in the house...didn't catch that when booking, but Christine is a wealth of knowledge and a pure joy to stay with! You have full use of the house...kitchen, laundry and amazing tub for soaking. The property is private with all, if not more, comforts of home. I would give Christine 10 star review if I could!

Fantastic!
The house is tucked into the Hawaiian rainforest with various flowers and fruit trees all around. It sports a vibrant volcano theme and lots of relaxing natural lighting. The host, Krisy, is a master baker and crafter, having made some of the colorful and thematic furniture herself. A sublime experience!
