B&B: Royal Orchid Suite mins from Volcanoes National Park

Enjoy peaceful Big Island Hawaii in a Contemporary Hawaiian Bed & Breakfast set in a Tropical Rainforest directly outside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The custom designed & built Craftsman Cottage style home features artisan beds with fine linens, private baths, cozy fireplaces and a tropical breakfast.

We are nestled in a native Hawaiian rain forest in Mauna Loa Estates with giant ferns and Ohia trees in the storybook arts community of Volcano Village.

The Royal Orchid Suite is named for the wild orchids you will see growing both in our rainforest and in the nearby Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The Suite is a private large master suite situated away from the main part of the house, with views of the native fern rainforest. The room features a handcrafted rattan King bed with elegant tropical bedding, and a gas fireplace. For a thoroughly romantic and relaxing evening, the Royal Orchid Suite room has a Jacuzzi style tub. French doors lead to an outdoor deck where you can sit and enjoy the fragrant smell of wild forest ginger or exotic tuberoses, or just take in views of the magical rainforest. A collection of Hawaiian botanical prints and original artwork delight and soothe the spirit.

Gas grill available on request.

Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast is located in the storybook village of Volcano Hawai'i, a community of artists, writers and scientists. We are secluded in the forest yet just 5 minutes from the entrance of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with its spectacular hiking trails, scenic vistas and lava viewing. Volcano is 27 miles from the Hilo airport and 96 miles from Kailua- Kona.​

A great stay, would highly recommend

What a fantastic stay. Our suite was very comfortable. They add nice little touches like cookies and snacks always available. The breakfast each morning was delicious. I would highly recommend this place and plan on coming back. It’s a great location to check out the southern part of the island, Hilo, and volcano NP.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Royal Orchid Suite. It had everything you need. It was more spacious than expected. The breakfast was delightful with other guests and our host was especially nice with good conversations. We learned to love papaya.

At Home in Hawaii

Charming place in an excellent location. Was served a wonderful breakfast every morning and chatted like I was back at home. Room had a fireplace, a jacuzzi tub, and a bed warmer! So cozy! Also had a refrigerator and microwave to store and eat a quick lunch one day. Easy to come and go, especially from Volcanoes National Park. Absolutely LOVED my stay. Want to come back with the whole family!

Excellent stay!

Great place near Volcano! The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was a special treat with the papaya, Apple bananas and yogurt and the pastries and egg dish. We were super close to the park for seeing the eruption and doing some great hikes! Rhonda was a delight, very informative and helpful and made a nice breakfast. Sure was good at communicating. We loved our stay.

Perfect Stay

My husband and I stayed here for a few days while visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and absolutely loved our stay. The space was very welcoming, clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and even had a dual sided heated mattress pad which was very nice. The breakfast was delicious and perfectly filling for our day out exploring the area. Rhonda, our host, was very nice and we really enjoyed getting to chat with her in the mornings.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Royal Orchid Suite. It’s a lovely B&B in a perfect location close to Volcano National Park. The fresh breakfast and Hawaiian music each morning was a nice treat. We really enjoyed chatting with the other guests and sharing our various adventures from the previous day. Our host, Sarah was very knowledgeable about the area and offered several helpful tips. Our room had everything we needed, mini fridge, microwave, fireplace, jacuzzi tub.

A lovely bed and breakfast situated just outside of Volcanoes National Park!

My partner and I stayed at the lava pond lodge for 3 nights and had a comfortable, restful, and pleasant experience. The daily breakfasts in the kitchen were plentiful, delicious, and a great way to start our days. Our host, Sarah, had many great recommendations for our visit to the east side of the Big Island, and was great company every morning over breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be recommending it to friends and fellow travelers!

All the comforts of home

Great location to visit Volcanos National Park. Breakfast each morning was amazing. Lots of activities to do in that area. Only thing missing is the sunshine but you're in the rain forest. Lots of vegetation and birds.

The Place to Stay in Volcano

We had a lovely visit with Sarah. The property is cozy, comfortable, and beautiful. The location is fantastic if you are planning to visit Volcanoes National Park, just a few minutes drive from the park entrance. Sarah was able to give us some great recommendations for the park, and for the surrounding area. Breakfast was delicious, and the Ka'u coffee is on another level. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

More than PERFECT!!

Had to pinch myself to believe this place was real!! Beautiful property!! We felt relaxed and so welcomed. Sarah and her mother-in-law (Rhonda) are the most amazing hosts. Hubby and I stayed in the Royal Orchid Suite. The king bed was very comfortable. Even had dual warmers if you were feeling cold. The bathroom was huge with a jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was delicious. We made breakfast sandwiches one morning and omelettes the next morning. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. This home is situated in the rainforest. It was so quiet and peaceful sitting outside. Definitely more of a couples retreat. Sarah was excellent in communicating information with us. She offered suggestions and gave us advice. The Volcano National Park is only 3 miles away. Close location makes it easy to go in and out of the park without spending hours driving. You will feel like royalty here!!!

Lovely Place

This place was so much fun! We met friends from South Korea, the mom and the daughter in the family team, and some really nice nieghbors. We sent some friends their way, it was so lovely. We did have trouble understanding how to fill the tub with hot water but that was on us, we didn’t listen close enough.

A fabulous B&B in the heart of Volcano!

This place was fabulous! This place offers pretty much everything you could ever want in a B&B. My room was wonderful (the Royal Orchid room), the breakfast was wonderful, hostess was wonderful, loved the hot tub and the sound of frogs croaking at night. The fireplace was awesome. Close to restaurants, the Volcanoes National Park, and the Volcano Winery. You can also go to Hilo, about 40 minutes away. I highly recommend!

Perfect Place to Explore Volcano

We had a great first VRBO experience with this room. Not only was the property clean and spacious, it was in the perfect location and very easy to get to. Sarah was a tremendous host who gave very good instructions and tips around the area. The breakfast was such a huge bonus for us before hiking around the park. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was also very nice to have after a long day. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again. 🌋😀

Absolutely delightful stay

Sarah is an amazing host! She made yummy breakfast and even let us have a burrito for our hike! We arrived to chocolate chip cookies! The property is lovely; like being in a tropical rainforest, surrounded by giant ferns, altherium, and serenaded by coquis at night. The property had everything you could need or want, especially an attentive and generous host. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub great. You can’t go wrong with Sarah!
