Volcano hideaway w beautiful gardens

Quiet and extremely convenient to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The room was as advertised and had everything needed—plates, bowls, utensils, cleaning supplies, paper towels, small refrigerator, toaster and coffee pot. Comfortable bed and TV. Electric heater for cool mornings. Big windows to the garden area. The town had a nice laundromat and a few convenience stores w the basics. Hilo is only 40min away for bigger grocery stores and more restaurants. .

An excellent spot to explore Volcano National Park

We had a great stay at this spacious, charming home. Check in was super-simple and we had a chance to explore both the stunning gardens on-site and pop over to the National Park on the evening we arrived. The kitchenette was perfect for warming up dinner and having coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping to the sound of rain outside. Highly recommended!

Cool location! Great host! Good night’s sleep!

Loved staying here so close to Volcano Nat Park as it allowed us to get there early. Location of the house was very cool. Bed was comfy and the heated mattress pad was a HUGE plus. Host was great and cordial and had some water and snacks for us and also helped us retrieve a forgotten item easily. Definitely recommend.

Unique & lovely

Spacious, beautifully appointed room attached to the host’s home, surrounded by rainforest in a small village, 1 mile from Volcano National Park. The extensive walk-through garden, complete with a tea house, was a fascinating surprise. Very accommodating host. Perfect for the two of us! Loved our stay!

Nice little studio in Volcano

I stayed here 2 nights to run the Volcano half marathon. It’s close to the Volcano Village & the National Park. Studio room was just the right size for 1 person or a coupe. Gardens are very nice to explore as well.

Flat located on a wonderful garden property, minutes from Volcano National Park. Property had a lily pond with quaint Japanese minka. Owners provided coffee, water and Hawaiian snacks, which we appreciated after a long day hiking the volcano.
