We had a wonderful stay; a great host and very welcoming. The scenery is breathtaking and serine, perfectly nestled within the trees. The front porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and a good book. Youâre a short distance away from downtown Hilo, hiking trails, waterfalls and a clear night sky. Absolutely canât wait to plan a return visit!
Thank you, Madeleine and Todd!
The Treehouse was perfect in every way! We particularly loved the sleeping options (in the loft and outdoors on the hanging bed), the comfortable mattresses, linens and pillows, the outdoor shower, rocking chairs on the lanai and perfectly appointed kitchen. The grounds were beautiful and our hosts so friendly!
Weâve stayed at Hulili before but this was our first time in the treehouse. We really enjoyed it! The property is wonderful. The treehouse is definitely a unique layout but itâs very well done. The structure itself is like a tall (vertical/stacked) cabin nestled in the trees. Lots of windows which we left open to let in the breeze; we found the temperature and airflow quite comfortable, especially at night. Note that there is a narrow/twisting set of internal stairs from the second level (bathroom/kitchenette and sitting area) to the third level (bedroom-loft). The hosts request that you leave your luggage downstairs and only take up the stairs what you need. My wife and I had no trouble navigating them with a little care; it reminded me a lot of time we've spent aboard sailboats. That said the bedroom is spacious enough and has plenty of headroom. Also note that the bathroom has a toilet and small sink; good for washing hands and brushing teeth but for larger jobs like washing your face, we just used the adjacent kitchen sink. The only shower is out-doors on the second level deck, but it's really well arranged... we loved the outdoor shower! There's a day-bed on the first level which we did not use, but it would be a nice retreat during the day in the warmer times of the year especially. As with previous visits... the hosts Madeleine and Todd are super easy to work with. Thanks again!
