About this property
4 bed/4 bath Entire custom-built house 5 mins from Volcanoes National Park
Enjoy peaceful Big Island Hawaii in a Contemporary Hawaiian Craftsman Cottage style home set in a Tropical Rainforest directly outside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The custom designed & built home features artisan beds with fine linens, private baths, cozy fireplaces, and hot tub. The home is 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 home consists of 4 bedrooms with private baths and smart TV's. The living room has a beautiful lava rock wood burning fireplace and two of the bedrooms have gas fireplaces. The home also has 4 outside patio's/lanai's to enjoy the views and sounds of the rainforest.
The kitchen is fully equipped and has counter island seating and a table for 8. Another table for 4 is located just off the dining room.
Here in Volcano, all of water is rainwater that we collect in our catchment system. It has been filtered and UV sterilized for potable and normal use. We do ask that all our guests help us conserve water by not taken long showers and not allowing the water to run when you are brushing your teeth. We do have “on demand” hot water systems to help us conserve energy so please be patient while the water heats up for showers and sinks.
In keeping with Hawaiian custom, we ask that you remove your shoes in the house.
During your stay:
The owners live on the property in a separate space away from the main house.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Ochoa

We purchased the Lava Pond Lodge in early January 2021 and we are extremely excited for what this endeavor has instore for us. We are leaving the property for the most part unchanged and only making minor updates here and there. Why change a good thing if it is working, right?
During these uncertain times we are very COVID minded and echo the messaging on the Big Island. We are going to great lengths to keep our 'ohana safe and are Covid Compliant. As our guests you are a part of our ohana (family) and we want you to be comfortable and safe when you visit us.
Our goal is to continue to build onto the great reputation that the Lava Pond Lodge is known and adored for. Warm and friendly hosts, breath taking surrounds and convenient location to nearby sites. We are also looking at becoming closer with community and culture as we establish and grow our ohana on the Big Island. We support local businesses and will always give back where we can when we can.

Why they chose this property
Having visited the Big Island and the Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast in Volcano on our honeymoon we fell in love with Hawai'i and the property and community.
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.

What makes this property unique
Explore a variety of hiking trails. See rainforest wildflowers, steam vents, giant scenic vistas and lava tubes both inside and outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a designated World Biosphere Preserve.
While the biggest attraction to the area is certainly Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park there are also many other reasons to visit this area of the big island. The rainforest makes this a very unique area. Visit the Volcano Art Center Gallery and catch a live hula performance. Witness the magic of authentic native Hawaiian dance and storytelling. Choose a class from their schedule of creative arts workshops, writing, Hawaiian culture & nature workshops for all ages.
We suggest wine tasting at the Volcano Winery, a trip to Rainbow Falls, a 80” tall waterfall, exploring the Kaumana Caves, enjoy the amazing views of the ocean and valley from Waipi'o lookout or hiking on Mauna Kea. One of our favorite weekend activities is seeing the Sea Turtles at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach which is a 38 minute drive from the lodge. Hilo also offers helicopter rides to view the beauty of the Island from above. I highly recommend the once-in-a-lifetime open door helicopter adventure.
