This accommodation is immaculate, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The king-sized bed is firm and supportive. An acre of beautiful gardens on the property are a pleasure to stroll through. The host is easy to communicate with and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Tropical Hideaway!

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!!

Amazing Stay

We loved our stay!! The drive to the location felt like an adventure in the rainforest. The property comes with a beautiful history. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and waking up surrounded by the trees. Better experience than our stay at the Volcano House! Thank you for opening up your home to us.

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.

Remote and beautiful

Just don’t look for the property for the first time at night— it’s very tucked away on a rough road! But a perfect place to stay at night after visiting the volcano national park, very peaceful, clean and well appointed. Huge comfy bed! The host has some highly specific rules, but nothing we couldn’t comply with.

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. .

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.
