This rustic wooden mountain cabin is situated next to a state forest, in a secluded spot away from the main house, on a 3.5 acre farm. At an elevation of 2,000 feet, it avoids the summer heat at sea level, yet is close to Kealakekua Bay (5 miles), kayaking, horse-riding, the Captain Cook Monument, Place of Refuge, and wonderful snorkeling. Ten minutes south is a small shopping center, with supermarket, video store, etc. A unique gift-store (The Art Farm) is close by. Three miles north is Kainaliu Town, with theater/cinema, pharmacy,Blue Ginger Gallery, clothing stores and other quaint places. Two of the finest restaurants in West Hawaii (Mi’s Italian Bistro, and Keei Café) are less than 15 minutes away. Other coffee shops and restaurants are close by. From the cabin, a short walk across the property and along private paths through coffee fields leads you down a road that takes you through natural Hawaiian flora.
The 760 square feet cabin consists if a livingroom, sleeping loft, bathroom, and well-equipped Hawaiian-style lanai kitchen with screens that look into the forest. A redwood deck is situated under the kukui and macadamia nut trees, and has a charcoal barbecue.
The farm has sheep, chickens, two guinea fowl and a pig. These are kept in an area at the upper south end of the farm, and the cabin is at the lower north end, some distance from the animals. From the cabin and its deck many forest birds can be heard. |
