“I always thought there was only one way to experience Hawaii”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 23, 2012

In an expensive hotel in an over commercialized city. Kahili Mountain Park proves that you can have a good time without spending a lot of $$$. I am here during the winter season, which was the cheapest we could get the flight for. Be advised that it rains A LOT here during that time, so dress appropriately. The cabins range from dirt cheap $15 a night) to I think $180 a night for a cottage. The cabins just have a bed with sheets and a thin blanket, a mini fridge and a hot plate. It also has a sink. Bathrooms and showers are a short walk away. No tv. The cottages are pretty nice, they have bathrooms and showers inside plus washing machines/dryers and a real stove. Polished hardwood floors.

I recommend that if you come during the rainy season you rent an all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle because the roads can get quite muddy and a car can get stuck. Also bring an extra warm blanket if you can or a small heater.

Room Tip: If you have multiple people rent a cottage and bring sleeping bags and sleep on the floor. Much more...

“Remember: winter is the rainy season”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2011

When you stay at the base of a volcano, the clouds back up to the mountain top and can rain every half hour in the rainy season. Yet, leave the property and go to the beach and the sky can be clear and wonderful. Such is winter in Kauai. I've stayed here before. it's gotten a little run down but it is still a wonderful and beautiful location. The school (which includes the cabins) has a very long lease on the property but the children, I've heard, of the man who gave the school the lease have become greedy and are trying to make business difficult for the cabins. So, prepare yourself for it being wet, damp and paper curling in the winter. Go to the town library is you need air-con. They are very helpful there. And free computers. Enjoy Kahili Park just know what you're getting into. You are in a rain forest after all! I'll go back, I'm sure.

“Beautifully secluded”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2011

We were a group of 6 from the mainland and we were on vacation during Thanksgiving. We arrived at night and it seemed pretty shady driving up a dirt road for more than a mile (it seemed) and through corn fields (we thought). But when we woke up the next morning, we realized we were among the clouds, in the mountains, with the best view of the sun and the island! I would give it a 5 for location!

It took us a little getting used to because the furniture is old, there were lizards crawling on the walls, and we found the biggest millipede ever in one of the bedrooms but we expected it since we knew we were renting a cabin. My husband called it indoor camping, but it wasn't that bad. (I gave it a 4 because of these reasons.) We were able to cook a nice breakfast every morning (including Spam, of course), go on our excursions for the day (everywhere we wanted to go was within driving distance), come back home and take nice showers, sleep kind-of soundly (on our sleeping bags on top of the bed) and wake up to the rooster's cockadoodledo! We had a great time and the cabin had everything we needed.

The people we communicated with by email and phone were pleasant and helpful, too.

Room Tip: Cabin 36 is the biggest cabin. Has 2 showers inside and 2 bedrooms with full kitchen.

“REAL HAWAII FROM THE MOVIES”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 1, 2009

we were taken care of from the moment we arived by our hosts joshua and sherrylynn with our every need met and then some! Our cabin had a beautiful view of gods green earth. I would recomend this stay to anyone that needs to remember why you go to work every day and the answer is so you can afford to come to kahili mountian park.

“Natural Kauai”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2007

Some call it "roughing it." I didn't feel like that at all. Unless you can't live without a TV, these cabins are paradise. Very clean with wood beams, hard wood floors and a nice kitchenette. You are surrounded by mountains. Be sure to take the Kahili Mountain trail. It is very steep but after about 15 minutes of climbing, you get a beautiful view of the island from the top. The area where the cabins are is perfect. You are not far from anything even though you feel like you are.
