About this property

Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation Retreat with FREE 4x4 Tour

Discover Mountain Thunder Retreat, a tranquil and serene get-away nestled on the cool slopes of dormant volcano, Hualalai.

This vintage-style plantation home is located on a 20-acre organic coffee farm. We are a quick 20-minute drive from the airport and are only 15 minutes from downtown Kona and multiple white-sand beaches.

The 4-bedroom home has been renovated to add modern luxuries including a gourmet kitchen with a brand-new double oven, Viking range, dishwasher and coffee/wine bar. The vintage charm hasn’t been lost, however, with 30-foot ceilings in the living area, detailed crown molding and 2 fireplaces.

The property boasts 3 master bedrooms (2 California King and 1 Queen) and a playfully-decorated kid’s room. The huge covered lanai on the main level is equipped with rocking chairs, dining for 8, a gas grill and gas firepit so guests can enjoy our legendary sunsets. A second private lanai is located off of one of the upstairs master suites with views of our breathtaking coastline and organic coffee farm.

The temperatures are cool and comfortable year-round and heaters are located throughout for those chilly mornings. Be sure to pack a jacket! We are an easy walk from multiple hiking trails, including our own on-site Nature Trail full of tropical plants, wildlife and lava tubes. We even invite you to pick your own avocado, citrus, guava and bananas grown right here on our property.

As a special offer, our guests will receive a complimentary 4x4 tour of our 20-acre property upon arrival or at any time throughout their stay. Another benefit of staying on a privately-owned coffee farm? We will provide each booking with freshly roasted coffee to enjoy during your visit.

There is a 3-night minimum stay. Check out is at 11 AM and check in is at 4:00 PM. Early check-ins or late check-out's may be requested through the owner. This is a non-smoking, no pets property. Hawaii Tax ID 012-427-8784-01.

Coffee Plantation and island stay
We loved the accommodations, the Friendlyness of Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation and the excellent tour they provided. Also the plantation being located minutes from Kailua yet in the cloud forest was very unique to be a part of. Of course the island provides many more adventures.

Unbelievable Experience
Love this place! The host was over the top accommodating. Loved the fresh Kona coffee and fresh fruit. The complimentary tour of Mountain Thunder was the best tour we had on the Big Island. The home and its surroundings are stunning. With views of the ocean and sunsets from nearly every room in the home. We loved having a grill and beach toys, and games at the house. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you, John.

Beautiful house in the clouds
Had a wonderful stay at Mountain Thunder. The house is spacious and fully equipped. The huge lanai has a great view - enjoyed many mornings with a great cup of coffee and many evenings around the fire table. We had a special family vacation on the Big Island and John and his crew made it especially memorable. Would highly recommend if staying on the Big Island.

Gorgeous home in cloud forest
Lynn, our host, was awesome, great communication. The fresh fruit and coffee in the home and welcome sign started the stay out great. The tour of the coffee plantation and operation was a highlight of the trip, the owner John was a great tour guide! We enjoyed sitting on the deck every morning drinking really good coffee. 20% discount at the gift store next door. It was a short drive to beaches and town for restaurants and shopping. Really, we didn't have any issues or complaints, the kids loved it too. The home was well stocked, from the kitchen to the bathrooms, nothing ran out during our stay. We had two adults and four teenagers (15-19). Look forward to staying here again!

Blissful
We had a wonderful stay at the retreat. The house itself is beautiful, well-appointed, and just as the photos depict. The tour with John was an informative treat. After long days hiking, snorkeling and exploring, returning to the retreat was blissful. Thank you for sharing this incredible property with us. (And the coffee is fantastic!)
