Three Day weekend
We were surprised that water pressure was greatly compromised off and on throughout this stay . Our warm shower would slow to a trickle, and same in the kitchen. We understand using a catchment and pumps to supply water to a home can be tricky in "remote " Hawaii. A heads -up would have made us feel better. Though it may be nice to have some foods left by previous guests such as ketchup, etc, generally believe the fridge should be cleaned out after each guest. There was outdated cream, for example, eggs, butter- cannot be sure if safe to eat-best to clean out. Same with pantry-many half empty boxes of crackers. Kitchen supply was running low-dish soap, for example. Lastly would suggest that if manager wants to impress guests of cleanliness, bedding should be requested to be removed as guest exits.

Serene
The property was exactly as listed. The location was so serene and the landscaping was lush. We absolutely loved the visits from the chickens and listening to the coquis at night. The night sky was incredible due to no streetlights. The electric fireplace was perfect in the morning to take the chill off. We loved the Jungalow style of decoration that fit so perfectly with the surroundings. Plentiful coffee and a bonus of having condiments and other goodie’s left over from previous guests. We didn’t want to leave!

Jungaloo review
Hello Jennifer. My family and I stayed at Jungaloo for a nite. It was a really nice experience for all is. The house was lovely. It was cozy and decorated with unique furnishings which were really awesome. The outside was beautiful with all of the different plants and foliage. The sounds from crickets, frogs and birds chirping and plants swaying in breeze was nice. There was however one big negative about our stay. The house really needed to be cleaned. Here are some of the issues you may want to address for future. - Spider webs some with live spiders throughout house -About one inch or more of dust under beds - Floors were dirty. We all wore socks sine we did not want to wear outside footwear in house. - Kitchen counters and dining table were sticky and needed a good wipe down - bugs that had been squished on walls and just left there. - Bathroon faucets and sinks needed to be cleaned - Shower curtains were moldy - Toilets needed to be cleaned inside and out - Large dust balls around fireplace - Accumulation of white dirt on ranch style windows above front door Basically house just needs a good cleaning. We would love to stay there again and possibly recommend family and friends to stay there but not under current circumstances of cleanliness. I hope you will take my comments under consideration as it is a very lovely place to stay at. Thank you.

Stay here!
This was the most precious little bungalow nestled in the jungle and so close to the park. The house had everything we needed and was accurately described. You will fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and wake up to the most adorable chickens saying hello in the morning. My kids loved this place. Very comfortable and so close to all the things you need. Stop looking and just stay here. :) Highly recommend.

The Jungalow is Lovely
Located 6 mins from Volcano NP entrance (and 9 mins to a great hiking trail, the Iki Crater), the Jungalow is a super quiet home surrounded by rainforest (and some chickens and peeping coqui frogs, at night). It’s beautifully decorated and has 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths. Bring your rain jackets (and a layer of warm clothes), visit Thai Thai for a yummy dinner, check out the Volcano Art Center, and grab homemade banana and pumpkin bread at the general store (next to Thai Thai) and you’re good to go!

Perfect place
The Jungalow was a great place to stay to explore Volcano National Park. It’s about 10 minutes to the entrance of the park and made it super easy to arrive midday and explore and then return first thing the next day and do some trails before the crowds in the morning. Her place was cute, clean and exactly as described - it fit our family of 5 very well. We’d definitely stay here again!

Wonderful spot!
Our family of 4 had a wonderful 2-night stay at The Jungalow. The house was beautiful inside with so many thoughtful touches--including a WELL-stocked kitchen and coffee station. Restaurants in Volcano Village are just a 5 minute drive up the road. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the frogs at night with the windows open--you truly feel like you're in the rainforest. So convenient to Volcanoes National Park one mile away, we were able to come and go from the park easily with the house as home base. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

We LOVED it!
We could not have been more pleased. Our early birds enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the mornings drinking coffee and listening to the light sprinkle in the trees, while watching the local "wildlife" in the yard. Those of us who enjoy a few more hours of sleep loved the peacefulness of the place. We had everything we could have needed - our hosts thought of it all! The location was wonderful for a visit to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Hilo was only a short drive away and we visited that area a couple of days as well. We can heartily recommend Jungalow!

We had a wonderful stay at The Jungalow! The property was perfectly located, close to the Volcano National Park and in a lovely neighborhood. The house itself was immaculate and very cozy.

Unique stay in the jungle
The Jungalow was just as pictured - a beautiful house nestled in the rainforest near Volcano National Park. Proximity to the park was perfect and let us get a good start to our day. The kitchen, bathrooms, and linen closet were stocked with all the necessities. The fireplace, heated blankets, and space heaters kept us warm on the cold, spring nights. One tip for guests - there is very, very limited eating & grocery shopping in the area. Next time, I would stock up before I left Hilo.

About the host

Hosted by Mira Alexander

Host profile image
My husband and I are born and bred Midwesterners. We both have backgrounds in architecture and design as well as a shared love of nature, art, and travel. We recently inherited the Jungalow, a family home which has been in the family since 2014. We hope you enjoy your stay and all the beauty Volcano has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love the natural setting that surrounds the Jungalow as well as the interior features such as high ceilings clad in wood, an open floor plan and the cozy gas fireplace. Both the interior and exterior of the Jungalow have been lovingly restored over the past year. The home's proximity to Volcanoes National Park and attractions surrounding Hilo make the Jungalow a perfect home base for exploring the area. We enjoy hearing what drew other neighbors to the area and love the relaxed way of life the area offers.

What makes this property unique

I feel the attention to detail sets the Jungalow apart from other homes in the area. From the carefully chosen artwork to the fresh orchids, every detail of the Junglaow was carefully planned and thought out.
