Hand Crafted Luxury Home with Jacuzzi & Fireplace


Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and experience the Aloha of Hawaii Island while staying at this gorgeous, hand crafted home near Volcano Golf Course. Nestled amongst the native Koa and Ohia Lehua Trees with a sweeping view of Mauna Loa and a steady serenade from the numerous native birds, this Hawaiian retreat will envelope you with a complete sense of peace and relaxation. Hale Ka Lehua was designed by owners John & Mindi Clark and personally built by John which shows in every well thought out detail.
The extensive use of glass gives one the feeling of being outside while within the warm comfort of indoors...perhaps snuggled next to the wood burning fireplace.
This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath retreat has a completely private master bedroom located outside of the main home off of the front lanai. This sweet room has a full sized memory foam bed with a native garden view, 1/2 bath, night stand,reading lights over the bed and a small space heater for extra chilly winter nights.
The main floor bedroom has a queen memory foam bed, a small desk and closet and is located across the hall from the full bath (both tub & shower).
The upstairs 'room with a view'' is a multi-purpose room with a full size Futon sofa bed (a real mattress not a cotton one along with a memory foam mattress pad topper) that can be used as a reading or game room, a bedroom or a perfect place to practice Yoga, meditate or simply have some quiet time enjoying the full, mountain view of Mauna Loa through Frank Lloyd Wright inspired seamless corner windows.
The kitchen boasts gorgeous 'Flower Garden' granite, gas stove and oven and is completely stocked with Le Creuset cookware, small appliances and wine/cocktail glasses.
French doors spill out from the solid ohia wood floored living & dining room onto the wrap around lanai that has outside dining and gas BBQ grill as well.
We invite you to come enjoy the beauty and quietude of this beautiful home while exploring the amazing dynamics of Kilauea, the world's most active volcano located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The 'Dry side' of Volcano keeps you out out of what can be a constant drizzle & fog that shrouds the eastern flank. The golf course area is located just beyond the crest of 4,000' and dips you into the Kau side of Volcano where the temps will still range from the 40's to the mid 70's but with far more sun! We are 3 miles past the entrance to the park, but you can walk to the edge of the caldera from our home in just 20 minutes...a perfect place to sip a glass of wine while soaking in the view of Halema'uma'u and getting a glimpse of the powers of Madame Pele.
Both the Volcano Golf Course and Volcano Winery are within a few minutes walk from the house.

Fantastic Volcano location

Our family had a lovely stay at this wonderful property recently. It is very close to the national park and we were lucky enough to see the volcano erupting. The hosts were responsive, welcoming, and helpful. The house had everything we needed. Very cozy.

Family vacation & birthday celebration

We had a wonderful four night stay in Volcano celebrating our twin daughters’ 16th birthday. The home was perfectly located near the park and our daughters loved having their own space to retreat to after a long day of exploring the park. Would love to come back and stay again!

Cozy Cabin

It is a very nice property. Gorgeous cabin with a beautiful view. It is more comfortable for a couple than a family. My family noticed a strong musty smell. We opened the windows immediately. It is very cozy and overall a nice place to stay to take in the beauty of the area.

Cozy cabin in the rain forest

Really enjoyed this private cabin in the rain forest. The wood stove (for warmth and ambience) took a little skill to get going but was comforting during the rain storms. The double sized beds were a little small but ok for one person in each.

Wonderful!

This was the perfect house for us. We especially loved the separate bedroom for our son to stay in. It was a fully stocked kitchen and a nice grill so we cooked in every night. The hot tub was great too! Mindi and John are wonderful hosts with top notch communication. The location was perfect for exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The pictures just don't do this place justice, it's way cooler!

Simply beautiful!

I LOVED this house in Volcano! It is one that is even better than the pictures (and they are pretty great). The yard and surrounding areas are just lush and private. The interior is like a cabin in the woods (or the tropics in this case). It is very close to Volcano park and also the winery is just around the bend. I wish we stayed longer. It was just so serene. Highly recommend!

Volcano Paradise

Include this unique house in your plans for your visit to Volcano. You will feel relaxed the minute you step onto the property. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is your escape from the crowds of the national park. But it's so close to the park that we found ourselves going multiple times a day. In the early morning for the sunrise over the crater, during the day for hikes with diverse landscape and in the evening to see the lava lake. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked. You are likely to find rice, oils and spices you'll need for dinners in. The house is just stunning and the secluded bedroom is perfect for a teen- like their own mini-house. You will love your stay here. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Just okay

The good: Good communication with host pre-arrival The host’s suggestions of places to go/eat and see were spot on and very helpful. Directions and entry instructions were spot on, so no issues finding the place and getting in. Property location and proximity to Volcanoes National Park is excellent - it’s a 7min drive to the park entrance. Home and setting is pretty nice, beautiful garden, quiet neighborhood and seems quite private. The not so good: We arrived around 8pm and as we’d taken a 5:30am (CST) flight out of Houston we’d been awake for 24 hours by the time we arrived. Only to find the property had not been cleaned or made up since the last guests had departed. Beds were not made, there was leftover food in the fridge and there was even $100 on the kitchen counter that was obviously intended as a tip for the cleaner. My messages to the host went unanswered until early the next morning, so we found some bedding (not enough) and made up sleeping arrangements as best as we could and used the swim towels for showering. Everything was clean and made up by the time we got home the next night…well kinda - one of the rooms was still not made up, so I slept on an unmade bed both nights were were there and let my adult daughter share a bed with my wife, so she wouldn’t have to. Would I stay there again? I doubt it.

Beautiful spot, amazing orchids, great location

This is a gorgeous house in a wonderful setting. The orchids placed throughout the house make it really special. The house was basically clean but is in need of a thorough cleaning to deal with spiderwebs and dust. The kitchen is outfitted with a somewhat odd assemblage of pots and pans. Those provided are good quality but again cleanliness was an issue. One of the large pots in the cupboard had melted butter or oil in it. I had cleaned several of the other pots and pans but didn’t have the energy to take this on. There is a sweet little espresso maker that is fun to use. Pepper and salt shakers were rusted and unusable for us. We didn’t try the jacuzzi. The wood stove was fun and there was enough wood. We were disappointed that only one of the bikes was useable. The other bike had a completely rusted chain and broken spokes. We were a bit unsettled by the fact that the uv filter alarm for the water system was going off when we arrived indicating it needed replacement. We didn’t notice until we were leaving that the smoke alarms had been taken down and put in the closet. Overall a nice place; it would be super if better maintained.

Perfect home for vacation

We loved staying at Volcano House! The property is beautiful and relaxing. It’s close enough to Hilo and ideally located right next to the Volcano national park. On Sunday the 20th we got an alert for Kīlauea episode 29 and quickly went to the lookout. We beat the crowds and watched the eruption, it was awesome. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to see it. I highly recommend staying here, the house is outstanding.

Five-Star Review for Hale Ka Lehua – June 2025 Stay

Hale Ka Lehua was the perfect place for our time exploring Volcanoes National Park. You honestly can't beat the location — just minutes from the park entrance and trails like Kīlauea Iki, which became one of our all-time favorite hikes. Waking up in the shadow of an active volcano was an experience we won’t soon forget.The home has that elusive mix of rustic charm and authentic Hawaiian retreat feel. The blend of indoor comfort with outdoor connection — glass walls, wraparound lanai, native landscaping — created this immersive atmosphere where we felt tucked into nature without sacrificing comfort. The separate master suite off the lanai was a fun and private touch. We used the hot tub to relax after long days of exploring in the peaceful back yard.We stumbled upon a great little breakfast spot nearby called Eagle’s Lighthouse Café — low-key, friendly, and exactly the kind of local gem you hope to find on a trip like this. Highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches and coffee before heading into the park.It’s clear the owners poured a lot of care into building this place, and it made our visit feel extra special.If your goal is to connect with the wild beauty of the Big Island and still come home to a cozy, well-designed retreat, this is the spot. Would absolutely stay here again.
