Welcome to the big island of Hawaii, a paradise with a diverse and stunning landscape that never ceases to amaze. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring this island, and today, I’m excited to introduce you to the Forested Kūono Cabin – a modern haven that perfectly blends with the beauty of nature.
The Exterior: A Modern Ship in the Heart of Nature
The Forested Kūono Cabin is a marvel of architectural design, inspired by the modern sea cabins of Nord Scott, Norway. Its exterior is a true work of art, designed to appear like a modern ship glowing amidst the lush Ohia forest.
As you arrive, you’ll notice that the property seamlessly merges with its natural surroundings. A crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping, and outdoor seating areas crafted from rocks unearthed during foundation preparation create a harmonious connection with nature.
The property’s water supply is sourced from a catchment tank and pump house, carefully screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Every detail of this cabin’s design has been thoughtfully considered, and you’ll be captivated by its unique style.
The Kitchen: Compact and Fully Equipped
Stepping inside, you’ll find a compact yet fully-equipped kitchen. Even though it’s on the smaller side, it has everything you could possibly require.
There is a microwave, an oven, open shelves that are stocked with the essentials for making coffee, and cabinets that are filled with cooking utensils.
The oven is available for your use in all of your culinary endeavors.
The sink has been deftly positioned so that it overlooks a picturesque scene outside the window, which you can admire while you cook. In addition, there is a thoughtfully curated selection of delectable treats that have been thoughtfully provided for guests to enjoy.
The Bathroom: Modern Elegance and Space
The bathroom is like an oasis, with its ample space and contemporary design.
The cabin maintains a consistent theme of its streamlined design throughout its entirety. It is chic on one side and practical on the other because it has a vanity on one side and a toilet on the other. However, the stunning walk-in shower is the feature that truly steals the show.
On the other side of the room, you will find a combination washer and dryer, which is a convenient addition for those longer stays. Shelves above the washer-dryer unit offer additional items you might need, from games to blankets, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout your visit.
The Living Space: Spacious and Cozy
As you step into the living space, you’ll immediately feel the spaciousness thanks to the open ceilings. On the left side, you have a cozy living area with a comfortable couch, which can also double as a bed. It’s perfect for lounging and unwinding.
A coffee table and a small dining table for two complete this warm and inviting space. Whether you’re curling up with a book, watching your favorite shows on the TV, or enjoying a quiet dinner, this area has it all.
The Bedroom: King-Sized Comfort and Scenic Views
The bedroom in the Forested Kūono Cabin is a sanctuary of comfort and luxury. The king-sized bed is the centerpiece, with a matching wood bed frame and nightstands on each side.
There’s also a closet to store your belongings. The ceiling fan adds a touch of elegance to the room.
However, the real showstopper is the wall of windows that overlooks your outdoor patio area and the lush trees that surround the cabin. Sliding doors allow you to step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural surroundings.
The Outside: A Personal Oasis
The outdoor space is a personal oasis. On the left side, you’ll find a hot tub for two, a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of Hawaii. On the right side, there are seating options, and with the turn of a dial, you can ignite the outdoor fireplace.
This cozy addition transforms the space into the perfect spot for evening gatherings. You can enjoy the warm glow of the fire while taking in the serene surroundings.
The Forested Kūono Cabin is truly a piece of paradise, offering a modern escape in the heart of Hawaii’s natural beauty.
Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this cabin has it all. It’s a testament to thoughtful design and an appreciation for the environment, providing a unique and unforgettable experience.
