The Experience

I will provide a private, raised, glamping accommodation with a clear roof, 8'x10'x8' canvas wall tent, with hot shower, toilet, full size bed. This is in uneven terrain at an altitude of 3,000 feet. There is cell phone reception at the glamping pad, limited internet access at the house. Ohia Ridge Farm is located 6 miles up on a paved road from the highway. We will take a weekly excursion to the beach or volcano but you may want to rent a car.

I recommend this experience to all travelers! Tracy is super sweet and her animals are adorable. I was able to have service the whole time I was there but her wi-if is limited . I learned a lot about the native trees. The work isn't too hard but you do have to be able to walk on rough terrain. She took me around when she could! If you want to be going out all the time I would recommend a rental car. Great experience!

Chloe was a wonderful guest: very positive, hardworking, and willing to do many tasks. She loves animals and Chuy the donkey and I are going to miss her. She is welcome back, anytime.
