Discover the Hawaiian Hula Hut in Mark Twain

Welcome to the Hawaiian Hula Hut, a charming retreat located in the heart of Mark Twain. This cozy 24' diameter Yurt, complemented by an inviting 18' private above-ground pool, promises a unique getaway experience. Bathed in natural light, this Yurt is outfitted with all the contemporary appliances you could need, including a gas range/oven, full-size refrigerator/freezer, and microwave.

The kitchen shines with its granite countertops and generous cabinet space, making meal preparation a breeze. Just off the bedroom, you'll find a spacious bathroom featuring a custom tiled shower and a tankless hot water heater for your comfort. The living area includes a love seat that conveniently converts into a single bed, perfect for relaxing with a movie or diving into a good book. Additionally, a small dining table serves as a functional workspace during your stay.

Feel good about your eco-friendly choice as you enjoy the benefits of staying in a solar-powered home equipped with a modern photovoltaic electrical system. Step outside onto the expansive covered lanai, ideal for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the delightful tropical breezes. For added convenience, a clothes washer and dryer are available for use during daylight hours.

Nestled on a peaceful half-acre lot, the Yurt is just a short driveโ€”less than 10 minutesโ€”from town. You'll be ideally situated near Papakolea, the stunning Green Sands Beach, and the mesmerizing Punalu'u, known for its Black Sands Beach. Also, don't miss the chance to explore the breathtaking Hawaiโ€™i Volcanoes National Park, only a 45-minute drive away.

This off-grid, solar-powered Yurt spans 452 sq. ft., featuring one bedroom and one bathroom, along with a pull-out sofa sleeper for an additional guest. Guests will have exclusive access to the entire home, including the pool, private lanai, and half acre of lush lawn to unwind in.

When it comes to parking, you'll find gravel spots located at the back of the Yurt. While enjoying your stay, please note that the Hula Hut operates entirely on solar power during the daytime and transitions to batteries after sunset. It's important to turn off all lights when not in use and to time your use of larger appliances according to sunlight availability. Please refrain from doing laundry after dark.

For your comfort, ensure all windows are shut and the ceiling dome is cranked closed before leaving the Yurt to prevent rain entry. Be mindful of the sensitive septic systemโ€”only flush natural waste and the provided toilet paper. Discard everything else in the rubbish bin, even items labeled as "flushable." Keeping the Yurt tidy after cooking helps deter tropical pests like ants.

Pool rules are posted inside the Yurt, so please take a moment to review them before use. If planning your meals, consider stocking up on groceries from Hilo or Kona, as local grocery options are limited and about 12 miles away.

Thank you for considering the Hawaiian Hula Hut for your next adventure!

Summary: Having never stayed in a Yurt of grid i was Amazed at how nice it was. I followed the rule of laundry during the day and had no issues. I titled this country because of the chickens and dogs, if you want a quite nights rest this isn't for you. If you are used to dogs barking and roasters crowingfrom 3am on then you'll be fine. I actually Loved it there!!PS, pool had funky ladder to get in and didn't seem worth the risk But that's what the beach is for.!!Again i Loved it and would Highly recommend it to people like me that line their space
