River View Family House with a Full Kitchen (No Cleaning Fee)

This small house is located adjacent to the river and you will enjoy the relaxing sounds of the water from the house. This house includes a full private kitchen and a private bathroom. Also included is access to our shared waterfall swimming area.

This house is off-the-grid. Being off-the-grid means that we get all of our electricity from the sun and all of our water is collected from the rain. We are not connected to the island's grid power system. Our solar panels charge a large bank of deep cycle batteries all day in order for us to have power around the clock. Guests are asked not to use any appliances that generate heat from electricity (such as toasters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc...) as they consume too much energy for an off-grid power system.

The second apartment unit in this house is sometimes occupied by the property owner. The owner (if present) prefers to allow guests to initiate any contact so they may interact at their own comfort level.

Regulatory Note: This is a hosted rental and is not subject to Hawaii County Bill 108.

We are so fortunate to find this place. It is off grid with modern amenities, Netflix , reliable wifi, refrigerator , stove and oven and really all you need except for hair drier, microwave and airconditioning. But not a problem for us. This place is already luxurious being off grid. The surroundings have beautifullush vegetation of a rainforest. It is also has plenty of fruit trees that you can enjoy when in season. And the beautiful river in front of you and the stunning waterfalls about couple of minutes walk is paradise and magical. We enjoyed our stay here big time and we seemed to have the river and waterfalls all to ourselves during our stay.This maybe off grid but very near Hilo and surrounding interesting places. My only advise though, is to come here during day time at check in to avoid confusion. There was a couple who came around 1 am looking for their cabin and tried to get in to the house and woke us all. We tried to give them direction to the other cabin also near the river but only to come back and said that it's not it. They were looking for a house. I can hear all the swearing because of frustration. We don't know exactly where they went next. So please arrive during daytime. All in all, this place is a 5 stars for us. Of course it depends on an individual preference.

Lovely getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this remote gem. From the fresh tropical fruit we were given to our visits with Miney Mo the cat, this clean and well stocked (including waterfall!) hideaway was a great place to escape the masses. Proximity to Akaka Falls and our Cacao farm tour was a bonus.

Waterfall cabin
We loved our stay at the Family View River House. The kids (5&9) were blown away by the waterfall swimming hole. What a special place to get to experience! I also appreciated the reasonable fees and “clean up after yourself” policy. That said, if you are looking for a resort-type stay where you throw trash wherever you want, expect room service and someone else to clean up after you, this might not be the place. But! If you’re looking for a lovely jungle forest accommodation with a gorgeous natural waterfall swimming pond off the beaten path, this place checks all the boxes!

Beautiful view
I absolutely loved this small little place. It accommodated my son and I so well. We loved the views we woke up to every morning and the waterfall right outside our door was so soothing to fall asleep to 10/10 recommend.

A fabulous off-the-grid experience.
We stayed in the River View House that was separate from the main house. The home was nestled in the jungle with views overlooking the river and a waterfall. The River View House was cozy, had a well-stocked kitchen, had plenty of space for the two of us, and was very clean. The directions to the location were thorough and we appreciated the secluded and gated location. The dirt portion of the road can be a little rough in the rainy afternoons but we really enjoyed the off the beaten path experience. Also, the waterfall just beyond our front door was a fabulous bonus. They were very quick to respond with our questions and needs. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place if it’s what you’re looking for!
Very off the grid as described. Friendly but destructive cat on the property, kept getting in the cabin during our stay. Some miscommunication with the host lead to a dismal end of the stay, but overall we really enjoyed the out of the way location and the beauty of the surroundings. No a/c!!

Cute little place tucked away in the woods. The private waterfall was the icing on the cake.
Houston, the property manager was super nice and took the extra effort to bring us an amazingly fresh and tasty guava fruit for us to taste from their property! Extra driving directions they emailed was very helpful. Just a couple of things that would have made it a bit more convenient was to have a microwave oven and a toaster available in the kitchen.

Family excursion
Great way to spend time with family off the grid. On site manager is responsive and good company. House is clean and comfortable. Spent 10 days here and was a great adventure. Houston (on-site staff) was great company, attentive, knowledgeable, and a great resource for the area. Only drawback is how hot the house is at night. No fault to the property as it clearly stated it was off grid, I underestimated the temperature. Also power rarely made it through the night, so if your needing power through the night might want to reconsider. . Overall this was a great experience I wouldn’t hesitate to do again. Being in nature with the sounds made the experience all the better. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
