A rainforest hideaway where the island unfolds slowly.
Fern Forest Getaway is tucked into a lush jungle on the slope of an active volcano, just fifteen minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and about half an hour from Hilo. At more than 700 meters of elevation, the air stays cool, the nights are quiet, and the mosquitoes stay away.
The house was designed for slow mornings and long evenings - vaulted wood ceilings, wide windows onto the ferns, a shared lounge you can actually stretch out in. Guests come here to breathe, to hike, to read on the lanai, and to plan the next day with our free trip advice.
Everything you need, nothing in the way.
Free private on-site parking, free WiFi throughout, a fully equipped shared kitchen, laundry, a spacious lounge with TV and Blu-ray, a sun-drenched deck with BBQ and dining area, a lush garden, a soaking tub, hot tub access, yoga classes on request, an indoor play area for children, board games, and a business area with fax and printing. Rooms are non-smoking, air-conditioned and heated, with hypoallergenic options, mosquito nets and soundproofing. Wheelchair-accessible units are available. Pets are welcome on request at no extra charge. Daily housekeeping, luggage storage, express check-in/out, tour desk, and package deals including car rental with free Hilo airport transfer round out the stay.
A love letter to the Big Island.
Your host Leon is a retired microchip engineer who moved from Moscow to Massachusetts in 1991 and, after retirement in 2013, settled on the Big Island to share the place he fell in love with.
He offers a full package: house, rental car, and discount tours around the island. Free breakfast is prepared to your requested time and style, and European-style dinners can be arranged for a modest additional price. English and Russian are spoken.
