About the host

Hosted by christine

Host profile image
As a premier host and a resident of the Big Island for 36 years, I am delighted to offer my newly renovated, hosted vacation rental to guests interested in a private, comfortable, fun and peaceful stay. I have a degree in culinary arts and a passion for baking. I'm happy to share my knowledge of local eateries and adventures on the Big Island. I pride myself in providing privacy and peace as well as information at guest's requests. My reviews tell it all.

Why they chose this property

My forested two acre property in Leilani Estates is surrounded by flowers, fruit, birds and trees, making a natural lei around the home. Views throughout the home create a sense of peace, harmony and tranquility in a tropical Hawaiian rainforest setting. An excellent place to relax and recharge after a day of adventure, Lava Forest Retreat is precisely where it should be, in the Lava Zone on Hawaii's Big Island. Pahoa is 5 minutes away with restaurants and shops and Hilo is 40 minutes away with even more things to do. The active volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 40 minutes away. Kona is on the other side of the island about two hours away, making a perfect day trip anywhere you choose to explore.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing is easy at the Lava Forest Retreat, in a peaceful and tranquil space surrounded by nature. You will be the only guests on the two acre property. My guests frequently exclaim how well they sleep, marveling in the comfort and quiet of the private second floor guest suite with lanai overlooking the forest. "It's like living in a tree house, but better" they say. But without the tree too close 😁. Location in Puna is perfect, close to Pohoiki and Kehena beaches. Five minutes to Pahoa town which has numerous restaurants, a free public pool, the new Malama Market, full service grocery with sit down food and drinks and sports TV. Island Naturals Health Food store, CVS pharmacy and many other shops too. About 45 minutes from Volcanoes National Park with lava viewing when it's running. Hilo, the county seat, is about 35 minutes.
