About this property

Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and experience the Aloha of Hawaii Island while staying at this gorgeous, hand crafted home near Volcano Golf Course. Nestled amongst the native Koa and Ohia Lehua Trees with a sweeping view of Mauna Loa and a steady serenade from the numerous native birds, this Hawaiian retreat will envelope you with a complete sense of peace and relaxation. Hale Ka Lehua was designed by owners John & Mindi Clark and personally built by John which shows in every well thought out detail.

The extensive use of glass gives one the feeling of being outside while within the warm comfort of indoors...perhaps snuggled next to the wood burning fireplace.

This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath retreat has a completely private master bedroom located outside of the main home off of the front lanai. This sweet room has a queen sized bed with a native garden view, 1/2 bath, night stand, reading lights over the bed and a small space heater for extra chilly winter nights.

The main floor bedroom has a queen bed, a small desk and closet and is located across the hall from the full bath (both tub & shower). Our upstairs room is now privatized for the owners use only when we are in Hawaii and not renting out the house.

The kitchen boasts gorgeous 'Flower Garden' granite, gas stove and oven and is completely stocked with Le Creuset cookware, small appliances and wine/cocktail glasses.

French doors spill out from the solid ohia wood floored living & dining room onto the wrap around lanai that has outside dining and gas BBQ grill as well.

We invite you to come enjoy the beauty and quietude of this beautiful home while exploring the amazing dynamics of Kilauea, the world's most active volcano located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The 'Dry side' of Volcano keeps you out out of what can be a constant drizzle & fog that shrouds the eastern flank. The golf course area is located just beyond the crest of 4,000' and dips you into the Kau side of Volcano where the temps will still range from the 40's to the mid 70's but with far more sun! We are 3 miles past the entrance to the park, but you can walk to the edge of the caldera from our home in just 20 minutes...a perfect place to sip a glass of wine while soaking in the view of Halema'uma'u and getting a glimpse of the powers of Madame Pele.

Both the Volcano Golf Course and Volcano Winery are within a few minutes walk from the house.

The place was neat, and unique. We enjoyed our time, but wished we had more time to take advantage of all the property had to offer. Thanks!

This is an amazing property it is so comfortable and has everything you need. We unfortunately were not there long enough to utilize all the wonderful amenities. The house is spacious and has the private adjacent bedroom just across the covered breezeway, which was perfect for us.. Beautifully decorated and so many fine details. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with dishes, utensils and just about any missing item you may have forgotten. Very easy checkin and check out. The hosts had so many wonderful recommendations and we were literally right there at the Volcanoes National Park so it very easy for us. We would definitely choose this home again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was amazing after a long hike. A negative was the cleaning fees & cleaning check list. The checkout instructions have 7 tasks for you to do before you leave, AND they charge a hundred dollar plus cleaning fee. Otherwise the house was great. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Everything was wonderful, what a beautiful home. I do wish I would've read more carefully that the upper bedroom was off limits. Otherwise the home was above and beyond my expectations.

The hot tub had sunscreen floating in it and black grit on the zests from previous guests not wiping their feet before getting in. Some of the wine glasses were dirty in the cabinet. The grill didn’t have gas and the cooking grate was too dirty to cook. Otherwise the house was charming

This house was so beautiful! We loved the architecture, the art & decor, and enjoyed the back porch with the jacuzzi! Our teenage son also loved having his own room with a bathroom off the back porch. A perfect house to go and enjoy the Volcano National Park! We enjoyed the Lanikai Brewing Company and went back twice for the pizza!

This cabin is the best location! 5 mins away from the park. Fortunately, Kīlauea was erupting during our stay. It was a 10-15 min drive to the best viewing area in the park. It was one of most awesome sights we ever saw! The cabin itself was great and had everything we needed. The only downside is it could use a good deep cleaning. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Very cool property on a secluded lot. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable. Great patio and was able to hang out in July with no bugs!Conveniently located less than 45 mins from Hilo and South Island activities like Punalu’u (the best black beach). But of course minutes down the highway from Volcano Natl Park. Only thing missing is a hammock on the patio!Highly recommend.

We loved staying at Volcano House! The property is beautiful and relaxing. It’s close enough to Hilo and ideally located right next to the Volcano national park. On Sunday the 20th we got an alert for Kīlauea episode 29 and quickly went to the lookout. We beat the crowds and watched the eruption, it was awesome. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to see it. I highly recommend staying here, the house is outstanding.

Hale Ka Lehua was the perfect place for our time exploring Volcanoes National Park. You honestly can't beat the location — just minutes from the park entrance and trails like Kīlauea Iki, which became one of our all-time favorite hikes. Waking up in the shadow of an active volcano was an experience we won’t soon forget.The home has that elusive mix of rustic charm and authentic Hawaiian retreat feel. The blend of indoor comfort with outdoor connection — glass walls, wraparound lanai, native landscaping — created this immersive atmosphere where we felt tucked into nature without sacrificing comfort. The separate master suite off the lanai was a fun and private touch. We used the hot tub to relax after long days of exploring in the peaceful back yard.We stumbled upon a great little breakfast spot nearby called Eagle’s Lighthouse Café — low-key, friendly, and exactly the kind of local gem you hope to find on a trip like this. Highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches and coffee before heading into the park.It’s clear the owners poured a lot of care into building this place, and it made our visit feel extra special.If your goal is to connect with the wild beauty of the Big Island and still come home to a cozy, well-designed retreat, this is the spot. Would absolutely stay here again.

What a beautiful place! The attention to detail and craftsmanship make this a lovely place to be cozy and warm in.

We absolutely loved our stay here in Volcano. The house is a 5 minute drive to Volcano National Park. We got to view the eruption and had dinner at the volcano restaurant with beautiful views! Punalu’u, The Black Sands Beach is about a 30 minute drive and has amazing snorkeling with lots of turtles! Highly recommend staying here! Beautiful house! We will definitely return to stay here.

We had a marvelous stay in Volcano, the house is spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the kitchen and back patio + private jungle backyard. We were disappointed the Jacuzzi was not working during our stay but Mindi made up for that (and few misses by the cleaning staff) with the gift of some amazing live orchids from her farm, that arrived after we got back home! Highly recommended!!

This location was perfect for exploring the national park and the southern end of the island. You can be looking at the Kilauea caldron in less than 10 min from the house! The house is cozy, and beautifully built. We loved sitting out on the back porch and watching the family of pheasants peck around every morning. It was a bit musty smelling, and could use a deep clean but the price is pretty low for the location and all the space you get.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Volcano House! It had all of the essentials we needed for a great time. It is beautifully crafted, and you can really connect with the nature all around. The Volcanoes National Park is very close by, making it easy to visit. We recommend heading over there at night for stargazing as the park open 24/7.

The good: Good communication with host pre-arrival The host’s suggestions of places to go/eat and see were spot on and very helpful. Directions and entry instructions were spot on, so no issues finding the place and getting in. Property location and proximity to Volcanoes National Park is excellent - it’s a 7min drive to the park entrance. Home and setting is pretty nice, beautiful garden, quiet neighborhood and seems quite private. The not so good: We arrived around 8pm and as we’d taken a 5:30am (CST) flight out of Houston we’d been awake for 24 hours by the time we arrived. Only to find the property had not been cleaned or made up since the last guests had departed. Beds were not made, there was leftover food in the fridge and there was even $100 on the kitchen counter that was obviously intended as a tip for the cleaner. My messages to the host went unanswered until early the next morning, so we found some bedding (not enough) and made up sleeping arrangements as best as we could and used the swim towels for showering. Everything was clean and made up by the time we got home the next night…well kinda - one of the rooms was still not made up, so I slept on an unmade bed both nights were were there and let my adult daughter share a bed with my wife, so she wouldn’t have to. Would I stay there again? I doubt it.

It is a very nice property. Gorgeous cabin with a beautiful view. It is more comfortable for a couple than a family. My family noticed a strong musty smell. We opened the windows immediately. It is very cozy and overall a nice place to stay to take in the beauty of the area.

This was the perfect house for us. We especially loved the separate bedroom for our son to stay in. It was a fully stocked kitchen and a nice grill so we cooked in every night. The hot tub was great too! Mindi and John are wonderful hosts with top notch communication. The location was perfect for exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The pictures just don't do this place justice, it's way cooler!

Cute and comfortable home in a great location for Volcanos National Park. My older child loved that one of the bedrooms was in it's own building, but it might not work out well for families with multiple younger children. A few board games kept us entertained in the evenings but there is also a nice big TV if you like. Hot tub was a great perk in the evenings after some hiking! We loved eating at the restaurant at Volcano House for the view of the caldera (and good food).

Really enjoyed this private cabin in the rain forest. The wood stove (for warmth and ambience) took a little skill to get going but was comforting during the rain storms. The double sized beds were a little small but ok for one person in each.

We enjoyed the beautiful and comfortable interior and the lanai was a delightful bonus. The covered lanai features a table and grill and plenty of room for Qigonh practice. The house is full of light and festooned with orchids. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable. We really enjoyed the wood stove during the slightly cool evenings. The kitchen was well equipped with good quality pots, pans, and knives. The entrance to the national park and some good restaurants, especially the superb Ohelo, are only a couple of miles away. Highly reccomded for those that prefer a more quiet place to stay.
