Hilo, Hawaii
Price: $245 per night
Bedrooms: 3
Baths: 3.5
Description: This luxurious lodge is perched up a mountainside in a rain forest with eye-level waterfall views. But it's not remote: downtown Hilo, on the big island of Hawaii, is only a mile away.
This is a very roomy three-bedroom with more than 2,500 square feet. There's a long lanai, well equipped kitchen and wireless internet access. The grounds are planted with large shade trees and tropical flowers and hot and cold soaking tubs.
Guests can relax in comfort, but there are plenty of activities, such as fishing, snorkeling and hiking.
