We Loved This Romantic Getaway for Two!

Escape to this charming mountain cabin, nestled next to a lush forest on a tranquil 3.5-acre farm in Captain Cook, Hawaii. At an elevation of 2,100 feet, you can enjoy cool breezes that offer relief from the summer heat found at sea level, creating a serene and romantic retreat. You will find yourself just 5 miles from Kealakekua Bay, where you can indulge in exciting activities such as kayaking, horse riding, and snorkeling. Don't miss the nearby Captain Cook Monument and the Place of Refuge for a taste of local history.

For your convenience, a small shopping center lies just ten minutes south, featuring a supermarket, various dining options including a Chinese restaurant, sandwich shop, bagel shop, and pizza parlor. Three miles north takes you to Kainaliu Town, home to a cinema, the Blue Ginger Gallery, unique clothing shops, and other quaint destinations. If you're in the mood for gourmet dining, the renowned Keei Café is under 15 minutes away, alongside numerous delightful cafés and eateries.

Your romantic getaway features a cozy 760 square feet cabin, inclusive of a living room, sleeping loft, bathroom, and a Hawaiian-style lanai kitchen fitted with screens that open to the enchanting forest scenery. Step outside onto the redwood deck adorned with kukui and macadamia nut trees, complete with a Polynesian gazebo. Enjoy an evening barbecue with a charcoal grill right nearby, perfect for unwinding over good food and wine after a day of adventure.

This rustic retreat showcases a single wall structure made from sturdy exterior plywood, offering an authentic island experience. The windows, made of aluminum and glass, provide ample ventilation, while the kitchen's wooden-framed windows invite the sounds of nature inside.

The surrounding farm is home to three friendly dogs, three cats, sheep, and chickens—all located towards the upper part of the property, ensuring your peaceful escape remains undisturbed. To welcome you, fresh farm eggs, homemade bread, a selection of tropical fruits, and locally sourced Kona coffee await your arrival.

If you're looking to stay active, take note that Jeffrey, the property owner, is an avid table tennis player. There are four clubs on the Big Island, so don’t forget to bring your gear if you wish to join in on the fun!

Guests often describe the cabin as a cozy haven, perfect for relaxing with a book, watching movies, or using as a comfortable base after a day spent swimming and exploring the warmer beaches of Hawaii. The proximity to the forest means you'll be treated to a symphony of natural sounds; awaken to cheerful birdsong and unwind at night with the soothing calls of tree frogs, especially during the wetter summer months.
