Great property, perfect location

If you want to feel like you’re in the rainforest, but also want to be close to town, then this is for you! It’s very close to Old Town Hilo, but doesn’t feel it at all. It’s very pretty and well equipped. Beds sleep great. Great directions for parking and checking in which was done through pictures. Would recommend again and again!

Rainforest Shangri-la

Hannah and Tanner were perfect hosts. Everything listed on VRBO was spot on. The atmosphere was zen-like and our room was perfect. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit this shangri-la on our next trip over to Hilo.

Super cool and quiet location in Hilo

We loved this spot. We’ve looked at renting for years and hadn’t, but finally did, and it was a joy. The sounds of she jingle in the evening were great, and we had what we needed to enjoy the 3 days we were there.

Stunning Studio

The space was amazing, very modern finishes and clean. Hannah was very welcoming and helpful. Would highly HIGHLY recommend this space if you're staying in Hilo for any amount of time. Just note that the bathroom is open-air to the rest of the studio if you're staying with someone.

Amazing Location

Our hosts Hannah and Tanner were very welcoming and helpful. Giving us tips about where to go for hiking or having a nice diner. The studio is perfectly located to go to the beach or town center of Hilo. On top of that, you will have the rainforest right in front of your door. Communication was fast and easy-going. We would definitely visit again!

Fantastic Hilo Apartment

The apartment is so lovely and Hannah is the most thoughtful hosts imaginable. Even discussing the import of orchids to the US with me, and putting me in direcct touch with her brother who does it often. Every detail is thoughtful, and it was cleaner than just about any room (hotel or homestay) I have ever been in. Lovely decor, great location near downtown Hilo, while being quiet and peaceful except for the sound of the river, the rain (it is Hilo) and the frogs. Thank you Hannah and I will return.

Lovely space in a private neighborhood

The rental is a studio with bathroom but no cooking capability ( toaster, minifridge, and microwave though). Host was very responsive and set us up with plates, bowls upon request. Outside the room it is like jungle with coqui frogs chirping all night. We loved the sound, so didn't bother us. Size of space is really only suitable for 2. Location was perfect- close to town and only 45 min to Volcanoes National Park. Would stay here again! Location

Everything was perfect, except for a strong smell

Amazing location that is close to town but feels removed. The room is very private. It is part of the rest of the house, but doesn't feel like it. The space was perfect in that it was comfortable and provided us everything we needed. It was clean, the only problem was a strong odor. We noticed it when we walked in every time and it seemed to come and go, at times stronger than other times. We were thinking it may be coming from the bathroom drain and since the bathroom walls are open up top it made the whole room smell. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed because we would stay there again if it weren't for the smell.

Die Unterkunft war einfach wunderbar. Sehr Stilvoll eingerichtet und sauber. Die Gegend war eher ruhig und am Rande von Hilo in einem wunderschönen Dschungel. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Sollten wir es wieder einmal nach BigIsland schaffen würden wir sofort wieder hier übernachten. Vielen Dank es war ein tolles Erlebnis

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Lidahl

Host profile image
Aloha, my name is Hannah and I’m looking forward to hosting you here in Hilo! The Big Island has always felt like a home away from home to me because of family ties. My mom was actually born in Hilo so this town has always been a special place for us to visit and spend time with relatives. I am now living here with my partner Tanner. We both have had many worldly adventures that allowed us to stay at lots of cool airbnbs which helped us to create our own oasis here to share with others :) I’m originally from a small town in Minnesota but have spent the last couple of years in Seattle studying Medical Anthropology & Global Health at the University of Washington Seattle and whitewater rafting. Most of our time now is spent outside exploring new places. Hope to see you soon!
