Experience nature at this secluded bamboo cabin on sacred healing land in Pahoa. Meditate with your mutt on the wraparound deck surrounded by black bamboo, coconut palms and other tropical plants. Or, find a location on the property of Hawaii’s most budget- and dog-friendly Airbnb to have a mindful moment together. You can also take part in a yoga class taught by your host. Then, head inside the off-grid home and listen to the sounds of the forest from the cozy living space.

When you’re midway through a game of ‘the floor is lava,’ scramble up the stairs to Hale Hubner Treehouse Cottage in Volcano. Located just minutes from Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, lava from the crater of Halema'uma'u, one of the Big Island’s most famous volcanoes, is sometimes visible through the tree line from the sun deck. The luscious tropical exterior can be enjoyed through picture windows inside the state’s best dog-friendly Airbnb treehouse, which is decked out with fine pine features and high vaulted ceilings.

Positioned 40 feet from the ocean on a lava rock cliff, Hale Romantik in Captain Cook is the best dog-friendly Hawaiian waterfront home. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific from the screened porch with your pooch, or lie back and enjoy the view on the shady sun loungers on the ground floor. Windows throughout the home offer glimpses of the ocean on one side and the countryside on the other. Guests and their pups can explore the water in two tandem kayaks.

Situated in a 5-acre working ranch in the Big Island’s town of Waimea, the Paniolo Country Ohana is the best dog-friendly Airbnb Farm Stay in Hawaii.

Located off an old rail line that ran from Pohoiki to Hilo, The Puna Anti-Social Club in Pahoa is a spooky saloon in the Hawaiian backcountry. Outside, there’s an outdoor bathroom and room to roam. While you’re sipping on your morning coffee on the porch of the state’s spookiest dog-friendly Airbnb and enjoying fresh fruit grown on the property, you may be visited by Uncle Popo. He’s not a ghost, but a resident Chihuahua who can usually be found hanging out in the surrounding pasture with a goat family.
