Mark Twain Hotels, Naalehu

"Can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time! "

"What a wonderful place to stay. These yurts are easily the best-appointed VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. The little touches to make it comfortable and help out if you forgot something are great! The yurts are very clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful from start to finish. He even gave us a calendar of Hawaii as a parting gift. Really great place. I highly recommend it!"

"This place is tropical magic and serene surroundings. Equipped kitchen and some condiments on shelf. French press coffee. Scenic views and utterly fantastic night sounds! Full compliment of dishes and there was an outside bbq.. washer and dryer great and we hung towels outdoors. The entrance from Hwy 11 to property is a bit tricky but one catches on quickly. David and Wendy super excellent hosts!"

"The place was gorgeous and peaceful and the hosts were wonderful. I’d absolutely stay again. "

"This spot was awesome! The neighborhood didn’t have a great reputation with the locals but we honestly had no problems at all staying on this part of the island. The hosts were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed and even offered lots of really great recommendations for things to do while we were there. There isn’t a lot in the way of shops nearby, but they do have the essentials– a quick mart, gas, and even a pizza place. Very quiet and the stars at night are unmatched. The yurt has a dome top in the middle so you get a little glimpse out into the sky when you’re in bed. Definitely the best spot to do some glamping, would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place. Only downsides were that the yurt is, you know, a yurt so it’s not soundproof. You can definitely hear every noise in the area and you will be heard… my husband could hear the sound from my phone (on low volume) when he would be walking outside. It’s also about 1.5 hours drive away from the two big cities so keep that in mind with your trip planning."

"Perfect home away from home!"

"We came to Naalehu to visit family. We stayed at the home which worked out fabulous. The house was perfect. It is very open and the lot is like a giant lush green park. The kids had a blast while the adults hung out in the front area bbq’n. We would definitely stay again."

"Beautiful & peaceful location on the big island away from the busier areas. Our host was very welcoming and always made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of a crackling fire every night. Large house with everything we needed and a very unique private yard setting."

"I did not realise that we were staying in a plantation village, with multiple accommodation. I had made a request for two beds and, as it was a slow time of year, we got two bedrooms. Pahala is a very cute town (and currently the only one with a grocery store as the one in Naalehu was no longer as at 28 Jan 25). The people were also really friendly. The only thing to consider is the roosters. If you want to sleep in - close the windows. We didn't, as the black sand beach was all ours at sunrise, then came back to Pahala for coffee at the Ka'u Coffee Mill. "
