The living area has glass french doors that welcome you in to the cottage. Once inside you'll be inspired by the beautiful pitched pine ceiling, large windows and 8 feet tall sliding glass doors providing a perfect vantage into the trees. At this height you can see the colorful birds flitting from tree to tree and the clouds rolling in from the coast. The living area is separated from the kitchen and bathroom, so each room is its own.

The kitchen has hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and quartz counter tops. It comes complete with a four-burner gas stove, small fridge, full-sized sink, coffee maker, and toaster oven.

The bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with pebble floor and a rain shower head for an incredible experience. The big windows, flower-shaped vessel sink, quartz counter tops, tiled floor, and fluffy bath linens provided give the bathroom the feeling of a beautiful, relaxing spa.

Guests have to themselves the lush outdoor tropical garden evoking a feeling of privacy, peace, tranquility, and a change of pace from everyday life.

House water is potable and chemical-free. Piped in from the outdoor rain catchment system, the water is purified with a UV system and filtered.

*****Climate info and tips for preparing to visit:

Even though you are in Hawaii, being at a higher elevation and in the rainforest makes for much cooler temperatures and virable weather conditions relative to other Hawaiian locations. Evening temps will be cooler all year around, but particularly so during the winter months.

It is advisable to wear layers and prepare for rain with water resistant outerwear for your outdoor adventures.

Additionally, bring warm comfortable clothes and cozy socks for relaxing inside the tree cottage.

The tree house, garden, driveway are all accessible to the guest and are their private domaine during their stay.

My work: Being a great host!
Aloha! My name is Shannon. I'm an entrepreneur and soon-to-be grad student who loves to travel, live in new places and meet new people. I custom-designed the tree cottage, had it built to spec, and manage the property. Over the last several years my travels, experience living abroad and pure enjoyment of helping others have led me to become an Airbnb host.
