Nothing says peaceful solitude like waking up surrounded by lush greenery with birds chirping away in the treetops. And that’s just what you’ll get in this tiny tree cottage located in Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park. Although compact in size, the 300-square-foot Airbnb getaway feels anything but cramped. Set up ten feet off the ground, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the small space with natural light and provide beautiful viewing of colorful birds flitting about in the native ohi’a and hapu’u trees.
Located on the side of the volcano, the tiny retreat offers the ultimate in serenity. The cottage – which was built by a local contractor using locally-sourced materials – is a mere 300 square feet, but the glass french doors and large windows provide a ton of natural light. The light wooden floors along with the vaulted ceiling also add a sense of spaciousness to the interior.

Guests will be able to enjoy the basic amenities such as a comfy bed, swinging rattan chair, a fully-equipped kitchen, along with a complete bathroom and shower. For water usage, the house is equipped with an outdoor rain catchment system to store water that is then purified with a UV system and filtered.
Although the interior is closely connected to the beautiful surroundings, guests will be able to reconnect with the great outdoors by enjoying the covered lounge area on the ground floor, complete with acacia wood furniture and string lights.
