We had a very pleasant two-night stay. Great location for Volcano National Park. Room was a nice size and clean with a well-stocked kitchenette. Communication from host was very good for directions and check-in process. Be sure to enjoy the property’s garden. Relax by the coy pond in the covered sitting area.

Lovely location. Close to modern conveniences but distanced away from the hustle and bustle. The surrounding rain forest made the visit exceptionally tranquil.

It’s about 3 miles from the park. It’s about one mile of unpaved road to the house and it’s tricky to find at night. There are food, market, and gas options super nearby. It’s beautiful and quiet amd the perfect retreat to end a very active day

Tranquil Hideaway

My bestie and I were looking for an impromptu trip to Volcanos National Park and found this hidden gem. Just minutes away from the summit caldera it was the perfect location for our excursions both day and night. The accommodations were cozy and clean, and provided all the conveniences we needed. A surprise bonus was the property itself -two beautiful acres of walking paths and flower gardens. We can't thank Jim enough for his hospitality!

The accommodations are fine. A small place with a comfortable large bed. Mini-kitchen was fine for simple uncooked fare. What makes this vrbo exceptional are the surrounding wonderful, beautiful garden and walking paths. Perfect for nature lovers. We also walked the adjacent paved road/streets and found endemic Hawaiian birds like the ‘Apapane and Hawaiian Hawk.Thank you to our host!ps, some nice food options nearby in Volcano, the bar/pizza place (Lanikai), small market, and excellent Thai place. (And thank you to Kīlauea for erupting - amazing!)Mahalo Hawai’i.

What a wonderful little hideaway! Small efficiency with a king bed that’s heated!! Gets a bit cool in the evenings but there’s a space heater to keep us comfy!! Kitchenette’s just right for a couple of days exploring the Volcano & surrounding area!! Host is very nice & responds quickly!! Would return again!!

Perfect location for 2 people visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Staying this close made it easy to get to the park to see the latest eruption. The garden on site is beautiful. Some other reviews complained about not having hot water, the host clearly states it takes a while, so just give it time. And yes we saw a spider, took two seconds to remedy that. It's in the middle of a rainforest which is beautiful, but if you want to be in nature, you might just see nature. So don't let those reviews scare you off. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and hope to stay again the next time we visit the park.

Great location/ quiet get-away

Located right outside of the NP entrance, but far enough away from main roads that you felt like you were in your own little world.

About the host

Hosted by Jim

Host profile image
I am a Fifth generation Island boy, who grew up on Oahu. I spent a number of my childhood summers here in Volcano prior to our family building a second home here in the Village. I now live in the home along with my two cats, Kaneboy and Lanigirl. I love the big isle and think it has so much to offer. Volcano is the best place for weary travelers to come for a day or two of relaxation.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very unique and well known in the village due to the garden. My father started planting over 35 years ago and it has turned into a beautiful place with paths, rhododendrons, native Hawaiian plants, two tea houses and a koi pond. It was our second home when I was younger and I spent many summers here in Volcano. Additionally, my Mother spent many Summers here too, as did many of the old Kamaaina families. There is a lot of history is this part of the island. Tall tales, and some not so tall.

What makes this property unique

Volcano Village lends itself to quiet, nature, friendly people and community. However we value our privacy here too, making a great place to rest for a day or two before heading home, Kona or another island.
