Natural sounds include birds, insects, wind in the trees, and rainfall. Because we live close to nature, you may occasionally see geckos, insects, or other small wildlife. This is a normal part of the rainforest environment in Hawaii and part of what makes the experience special.<br /><br />Shared Property:<br /><br />While your cottage is completely yours, the property includes several nearby cottages and shared spaces. Guests may occasionally see others walking around the grounds, and may choose to interact with each other in the shared kitchen and/or yoga studio.<br /><br />Remote Location:<br /><br />The area is very dark after sunset, which makes for incredible stargazing. Guests may wish to bring a flashlight when walking around the property at night. The closest town is Pahoa (25min drive). There is very limited cell service on the entire Red Road.<br /><br />Wildlife:<br /><br />You may see native birds and other animals in the surrounding area. Wild pigs occasionally pass through the forest nearby, so please enjoy wildlife from a distance. Geckos and insects are a normal part of life in the rainforest.<br /><br />Nearby Attractions: <br /><br />The cottage is about a 5-minute drive to Kehena Black Sand Beach (clothing optional) and located along the scenic Red Road coastline.<br /><br />NUC PERMIT INFO:<br /><br />NUCR#: PL-NUCR-2026-003691<br />STVR#: STVR-19-367109<br />NUC#: NUC-19-1939
