Lovely, Spacious Villa with HotTub, Outdoor Dining, Fire Pit

The house was great - we were there during a wet and cold storm and was happy to find a wood stove

The place was perfect! I do have a couple of recommendations that I will share with the host privately as I don't want it to be a deterrent for future guests. I will stay there again on my next visit.

Great location and property. The backyard patio could have used cleaning. Overall experience was great. Would stay again. Didn't know we'd use the jacuzzi but it was very inviting and we enjoyed it.

Wonderful stay! Property is lovely with so many amenities. So convenient to Volcanos National Park. Reccomend!

Very nice, comfortable, quiet house near Volcanos National Park. Very well stocked kitchen. Bedrooms nice and worked well for our family with 2 small kids. Love spot at the end of the road in the woods - gorgeous flowers.The hot tub would have been nice, but had been too heavily chlorinated and the chemical smell was so strong, we were unable to use it.

My family stayed for 3 Nights. We loved the location and area. The yard is beautiful. The hot tub was a huge highlight. It was a bit warm during the day due to no AC. The bedrooms and living room had ceiling fans. We opened up the windows to get some airflow. It was okay, but it was definitely hot during the day. At night it got nice and cool, so sleeping was not an issue due to heat.....but the DANG tree frogs make a LOT of noise.. so be prepared. The interior of the house was as pictured, and at a glance everything looked nice. When you look a bit closer though, it was a bit dirty. It was obvious that the cleaners do not do a thorough cleaning...more just a "surface" clean. The blinds were covered in gunk. the sheets/pillows/furniture had "oil stains" from use.... so we had to put sheets down on everything. The hot tub worked great, which got a lot of use while we were there. There were extra sheets, towels, spices, etc which was greatly appreciated. The washer/dryer worked great. There was plenty of space with the 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths. We were told the water is filtered and UV light filtered...it tasted just fine. The power is solar power, and we did not see any issue with the power except when you charge your phones/etc they charge SUPER slow, other than that... had no issues.

Our stay was amazing! The lush greenery and serenading Coqui frogs were a lovely touch. Plus, the space was super accommodating for our group of 7 adults - plenty of room to spread out and relax. Volcano National Park was just a 15-minute drive away, and everything else we expected was there too! We loved ending the evenings with a warm soak in the hot tub under the stars, followed by gathering around the outdoor fire pit. One more tip: be sure to check out, Lanikai Brewing in Volcano & Kaleo's Bar & Grill in OrchidLand– you should definitely give it a try!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home— it had everything we would have needed and then some! Close proximity to Volcano National Park made it easy for our family to take breaks between exploring, and the hot tub was a great way to wind down at the end of each day. Thank you so very much for welcoming us into your home— our stay here was one of the most memorable parts of our week long vacation!

We enjoyed our stay here. A few aspects of the property are a bit dated/worn (wobbly chair legs, worn kitchen utensils, old copies of tech instructions, we didn’t use the hot tub as it was partially filled, etc). Nothing really major but noticeable and I can imagine it’s time-consuming and expensive to update and I’m sure the rainforest environment isn’t easy. That said, the location was perfect for Volcano National Park and the owner was responsive when we were unable to set the security system. It’s a perfect spot to easily get to the National Park which was our priority and the space as great for our family.

House worked great for our needs. We enjoyed the hot tub. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the beds were so so.

This house is beautiful! Gorgeous floors and perfect layout for two families as its a split plan, the beds are very comfortable and the kids voted it the coziest house we stayed in on the Island (we stayed in three) The house is well equipped and the hot tub was very clean and hot even though the cover was broken when we arrived they still had it hot and clean and ready for use and the missing cover did not affect us in any way. Its is very cool and damp up there so there are dehumidifiers in every room which was lovely. The landscaping is gorgeous they have orchids and bromeliads growing all over the property. The master bedroom bed is creaky like someone mentioned but its a very solid heavy wooden frame and high quality and still very comfortable. We had a great two night stay and even got to see the Volcano erupt on June 4th!! This house is at the end of a dead end street so its very quiet and private and lovely. Some people said there was a musty smell but I think its only the rug by the front door because the house smelled fine to us. We would stay here again for sure. The host was very efficient and it was easy to access and check in and out were a breeze.

This property was perfect for our group. The kitchen was adequately equipped, there was good family space, and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. The host was readily available to answer any questions we had.

The house was very clean. Located in a very quiet neighborhood. It was really close to Volcano National Park. Just about 45 min drive to Hilo and Black Sand Beach. Would definitely recommend this property.

The house was clean, but the furniture was very old. The beds were very creaky as were the kitchen chairs. The hot tub was very old. It was also dirty and full of sand. Needless to say, we did NOT use it. The neighborhood was just ok. Lots of barking dogs. The driveway was oddly shaped. Would not recommend.

The musty smell is overwhelming as you open the front door. The house itself is very nice, but needs upkeep. My husband and I chose this property for 3 reasons: proximity to Volcano national park, the hot tub, and the washer/ dryer access. The proximity to the park is very nice. The hot tub was very dirty. The cover had obviously been broken for quite some time as the edges were bowed and there were floating particles from the lid in the water in addition to other dirt particles. The hot tub was also quite loud. 2 of the bedrooms face the hot tub and the noises kept waking up my husband throughout the night. The laundry facilities are apparently only available if you stay for a longer period. When I asked the owner if it was possible for us to use the laundry for our 2 night stay, there was no response (and the laundry is padlocked in the garage). My husband and I also own a vacation rental property and do everything we can to make our guests comfortable. I can’t even imagine the reason for limiting access to laundry?? If you are going to limit laundry access, washer/ dryer should be removed from the listing, not included in the fine print. Also, if you are uncomfortable with cameras, you should note there are security cameras outside of the house. The owner no doubt watched us head to the laundromat in town.

Beautiful respite in the rainforest just a few minutes away from Volcanoes National Park. We loved the huge green tree ferns and the flowers surrounding the property, giving it a private fantasy feeling, just like the pictures on the website. We loved the jacuzzi amongst the moss and ferns. We enjoyed the sounds of the many frogs and birds.

We enjoyed our stay here. The home was clean, had easy check in and check out, lots of space, hot tub, and grill. It is a very quiet area and with all the lush greenery, you can't see any neighbors. The home is 10 minutes from the entrance of Volcanoes National Park, where we spent the majority of our time in the area. If we come back to this area, I would stay here again.

Local family from Kona celebrating a birthday with a staycation to Volcano. House had everything including great location. House manager was very responsive answering any questions. We will definitely rent again.

Three main reasons why I have decided to stay at this place. The first one was its location. The property was super close to Volcano National Park, it literally took less than 5 minutes to the entrance. It is about 45 minute, with traffic to Hilo and about a over little 2 hours to Kona. The second reason was that the property was extremely spacious. Upon entering the house, there is a beautiful foyer and closest. To the left are 2 queen bedrooms, laundry room, entrance to garage and 1 and a half bath. The water pump is located on this side of the house and runs frequently. When the pump runs it does get loud, especially at night when its so quiet. So if you are a light sleeper this will bother you, however it did not bother us. To the right is the master bedroom with jetted tub and an additional room with 2 twin bed. It is an open living room with the dinning, and kitchen adjacent too. It also has 2 double sliding doors, providing plenty of sunshine into the house. The house is located at the end of road. The third and most important reason was that this property had a hot tub! For the length of our stay I was so excited that after long days of venturing out, I could use it to soak up and relax some of my muscles however Ims e what the maintenance is for the hot tub but it was quite filthy, it looked like someone could get sick after using it. So for the length of our stay we did not use it at all and that was very disappointing. Unfortunately for that reason I am taking.

This property served a large group of my friends very well for a 5 night stay. It has lots of beds, a large well-stocked kitchen, hot tub, etc. I'd use it again in a heartbeat.

We loved being close to the national park. It’s very dark at night so driving is best if you want to go to village or national park. we did a day trip to Hilo and to seeblack sand beach with sea turtles.The house we well appointed and spacious. we loved the hot tub and the views out the window of the mist and rainforest.There is an alarm system on the house that they recommend that you set and a safe (that was not working) that they recommended using. We didn’t know if there had been crime or if it was just a safety precaution. we loved watching a movie on the sectional couch.and being able to do laundry. relaxing stay.

We enjoyed this home and the hot tub. Remember to grab groceries somewhere before settling in - it’s a long way to a large market. Great location if you want to visit the park. We lucked out because the volcano erupted on our last day and we were able to get over there in about 10 minutes too watch the show.

Very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely home located within easy access to the Volcano National Park.

The name of this says it all. The location is ideal for visiting Volcano National Park and Volcano Winery. The house layout is ideal for families and friends with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The surrounding landscape is lush and tropical with a cooler climate than down near the ocean. Spacious living area and up to date Kitchen made cooking very easy. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house for a big group! Clean and comfy! The hot tub was a lovely bonus after a day of hiking! Would definitely come back

Kind of out of the way but was very quiet

We had a family trip planned and our extended family had reservations at another location and had some issues. This place was larger than we expected amd it accommodated us all.

Tidy, quaint. Conveniently located for our purposes. We needed a 4-bedroom place, so it achieved that. We like self-catering. The essential appliances all worked.

This was a great location for exploring the island. Right at the entrance to Volcanos National Park and only a short drive to so many other sites. Clean, comfortable and spacious.

This cozy home was ideal for our 2-night stay to visit VNP as it was very close to the park entrance. The home was well-equipped for our stay; however, the grill did not heat up to a high enough temp to allow us to cook steaks we purchased for dinner. We had to bring them in and cook them under the broiler. The outdoor spa was an added plus for our grandsons.

Lovely, well equipped home conveniently located close to Volcanoes National Park.

Lovely property, lots of space, and well equipped for a short stay in Volcano. Only drawback is for stays of fewer than three nights you don’t get laundry access. It does say that at the very end of the description, but I booked over a year ago and did a quick check of the amenities before arriving and saw washer and dryer at the top so didn’t think twice. Kind of a bummer, but rules are rules and still a great place to stay.

Great layout in the house. Perfect for six of us ranging from 10 years old to two old codgers. Beautiful area that feels like there’s no one else around. We did not spend a lot of time at the house. It was our base for exploring the volcano area.

House was great. No complaints

Excellent location with very easy access to the park. The hot tub was very welcome on the misty mornings with that first cup of coffee, and in the afternoon or evening after a day of activity with a cold drink or glass of wine. The lush backdrop of flora and birds surrounding the property added to the sense of peace and isolation. The fire pit is also a nice addition to mellow evenings. Unfortunately, the bedroom closest to the garage is located by the water pump which is noisy whenever any water is running in the house.

The grounds and hot tub were really nice. The beds were not very comfortable. There was a loud pump going off and on all night next to my bedroom that made it nearly impossible to sleep. It was advertised as having a washer and dryer, but they were in a locked room we could not access, and we had planned on doing laundry here so were running out of clothes. The ceiling fan in the bedroom was also unbalanced and very loud. Very strong musty smell throughout the hosue. It was overall disappointing.

We had trouble getting into the code. We did not expect alarm system. The place was beautiful however we thought the house had air conditioning. The place felt damp and at times difficult to get comfortable. Location was perfect. . The hot tub was dirty but we cleaned and were able to use. Overall would recommend staying here.

Amazing people and property

The house was spacious and over nice. One room had mold and could not be slept in due to the smell. They had a dehumidifier in the room, but did not eliminate the smell.. The house was mostly clean, but could use a little extra cleaning, bathrooms and kitchen especially.The owner is very nice and very good with communication. We enjoyed the location of the house, at the end of the street, so not any traffic. The only other thing was we had 7 adults and 2 children and they left out 6 towels for us to use for a week long stay with no laundry soap to wash.

We had a great stay. The home was very large and homey. It was clean, the hot tub was a plus, and the location was a very short drive to the Volcano National Park. I traveled with my wife, our two boys (ages 5 and 2), my father-in-law, and brother-in-law, there was plenty of room for all and my kids enjoyed the spacious back yard.

We really enjoyed our stay at this volcano house. It was large enough for us to spread out and have some space, but not too big. The host was easy to communicate with, and seemed eager for us to be happy with the rental. It was pretty cool for Hawaii, but the rental has a wood stove and the host left a small supply of wood. It kept the place warm in the evenings. If you have a group this is a great rental.

Great location to Kilauea and Hilo. Hot tub was a plus. Fireplace was wonderful due to the colder temperatures.

Very comfortable and well appointed accommodations! We were a group of 3 couples and there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out and be comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed including some condiments we had forgotten. Excellent value and super close to the volcano for hikes! Will stay here again!

Super good spot in Volcano, a few minutes from the state park. A little far from Hilo. The hot tub is super clean and huge. Good areas to chill and hangout. Bed were SUPER squeaky but decently comfortable for a vrbo. The check in and out process is super simple too

The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Kitchen very stocked and were able to cook every night for ourselves. Very private location. Was a drive to any activities but we didn’t mind. Not the “touristy” side of the island. Nice place for couples or large groups. Would definitely stay again. Overall we had a fantastic stay.
