Dragonfly Ranch

Dragonfly Ranch is a magical place. Barbara and her team are amazing people who made us feel like friends. Those who love nature, spiritual healing, and an otherworldly place to relax will enjoy their time here.

Barbara and her team at the Dragonfly Ranch make you feel like family as soon as you arrive. It was such a treat for my birthday getting to spend a full 8 days alongside my husband in this beautiful jungle oasis, filled with meaningful and spiritual conversations, cuddles with the community of loving and therapeutic pets, and lots of laughs. This really is a retreat and sanctuary for the people who embrace it as such, providing a welcome escape from daily distractions and positive healing energy for those who need it - whether they consciously realize it or not. We highly recommend planning for an extended stay here in order to fully enjoy the impact of its caretakers and energy on your mind, body, heart, and soul.

Very cool place in the jungles of the big island. Feels like you’re one with nature. The host, Barbara, is so friendly and helpful. She makes lots of food for breakfast and there’s a great outdoor spot to eat and relax. Had a great time and would definitely stay there again.

Customers need to be warned that this isn't a hotel and the room wasn't really a room, but rather a screened-in porch. There were no windows to close - only screens. There was no shower, but rather a bathtub where people from the outside could see anyone in the tub. The bathroom sink was actually a kitchen sink that came with cockroaches. The bed was in very bad condition, sinking in the middle. There was poor lighting, no air conditioning, and nearly deafening noise from frogs outside. When we arrived, it was completely dark and to reach our room, you were required to climb a steep hill/driveway. The breakfast consisted of some cut up fruit, wheat bread, oatmeal, and coffee. The owner was friendly, trying to be accomodating and helpful.

The ranch was fascinating, peaceful, and refreshing. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff was splendid. We could not have asked for a better start to our first ever visit to Hawaii!

The Dragonfly Ranch has a lot of character and is a fun place to stay. Everyone was really friendly.

Funky charm was like staying in a treehouse with a comfortable bed and plumbing. Delicious organic breakfast.

Like you’re staying in a tree house. Very neat property. If you don’t like bugs, lizards, living in nature don’t stay here. We really enjoyed it. Sunset and water view from our room, the Lomi Lomi suite. Handmade breakfast was waiting for us in the am. Friendly and communicative staff. Good location too.
