Lovely Cottage near Volcanoes National Park

Lovely, very comfortable, very clean, private cottage with beautiful plant-life and garden. Communication was excellent. It's a nice place to stay in a very quiet, off-the-beaten-path part of the big island.

Amazing Cottage in the quiet town Volcano

Gigi and Marc have crafted a wonderful cottage with so much personality. No detail forgotten to create a warm, personal environment to relax in. The gated location provided a sense of security, and the beautiful grounds were so nice to wake up to. All in all a wonderful place to stay on The Big Island. Just one thing to note, most local restaurants close early, or are only open some days of the week or for some hours in the morning, so plan accordingly. It is also a pretty good distance away from most tourist attractions on the island, but is soooo close to, that it’s almost inside Hawaii Volcanos National Park, which is both amazing to visit and enormous in size, a great reason to stay in Gigis place is to spend time in this incredible park, and still feel like you have a home to come back to.

A little slice of paradise

This was a great location for our days hiking in Volcanoes National Park, just minutes from the entrance. The environs were beautiful; we’ve never seen so many colors of anthurium! Gigi was a great host very communicative and responsive. And the welcome cookies were SO delicious. A great place to stay.

absolutly wonderful

The Maluhia house is a beauty in a wonderful botanic garden made with love. Every detail is so well designed and thought through, and one is also completely away from the crowds that might be in the very close Volcano national park. We had a super stay which was made perfect by an eruption of Kilauea and a drive for sun down to Mauna Kea (4wheel needed), both breathtaking. We want to come back and thanks for such a nice house that was equipped with just everything one might need and thanks for the wonderful welcome cookies!

About the host

Hosted by Gigi Lee

Aloha!! I moved to Hawaii almost 30 years ago from California. I LOVE Hawaii, (duh! ...what's not to love?!) I do feel blessed to live in such a special and unique place and I am excited to share my backyard with you! Peace love and lipgloss.

Why they chose this property

If you love peace, privacy and tranquility, this is the place for you. Nestled off the beaten path, Gigi's cottage is a sweet little gem. A non-smoking, pet free home. Cozy, private and well stocked. After a long day of hiking through Volcano National Park, come home and put your feet up and unwind. Fresh, clean rainwater for bathing, cooking and drinking is a special little treat.

What makes this property unique

The host is fluent in sign language and a professional pianist. (Maybe a fun piano lesson while you're here?) Gigi is also a professional photographer and licensed wedding officiant just in case you would like to elope, renew your vows, or have a photo shoot while you are here.

The grounds are just so lush and full of hundreds of flowers and birds. It really is a very special spot. No street noise, dogs or children on property so it is very quiet and peaceful.
