It was our second time to this property and we love the "homey" cabin feel! Definitely will stay again1
Place Is a dream, seriously, hottub and all the views is incredible. Location next to the national volcano park is incredible.
Nice place to relax while visiting volcano national park
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.
What a lovely nature retreat! Peace, quiet, birds. Super easy access to pop in and out of Volcano NP. The house is beautiful and the hot tub quite relaxing after a day of adventuring about the island.
Wonderful retreat in Volcano in a gorgeous property with all the amenities!
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.
Really enjoyed our time here. The home was amazing. Separate buildings for the 2 bedrooms offered great privacy. Minutes away from Volcanoes National Park. We were lucky enough to see an eruption during our stay.
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.
This hale was so beautiful! I love the personal touch of the hosts and their commitment to the environment and natural products! Melinda even went out of her way to let us know what the volcano was erupting and the best place to see it!
Beautiful property and great location to the park. The hosts were wonderful!!
Beautifully crafted home with a peaceful backyard in a convenient neighborhood. We loved being able to walk to great views of the volcano and the park entrance was very close. The hosts’ recommendations and binoculars were much appreciated! Experienced an incredible eruption on Mother’s Day. Mahalo Pele!
Great house, perfect for my family. Super close to the Volcano. Melinda (owner) provided spot on information before and during our stay, with great recommendations and quick responses. I would highly recommend staying here. I only wish we had more time.
The house was beautiful, clean and quiet, and very close to the park entrance. It worked out perfectly for our group of 3. Would definitely stay here again.
We were lucky to arrive just before a big eruption. The house is so close to the park, the sky was bright red from the lava at 4am. House has everything you need for a cozy time in Volcano.
House and Hosts were amazing, we were fortunate enough to be staying while the volcano eruption was occurring. being 5 min to the park was amazing.
This was a great house to serve as a base camp for this side of the island. It was minutes from the national park. The house and yard were a quiet oasis.
Our family had a lovely stay at this wonderful property recently. It is very close to the national park and we were lucky enough to see the volcano erupting. The hosts were responsive, welcoming, and helpful. The house had everything we needed. Very cozy.
We had a wonderful stay at the property while visiting Volcano National Park. The property was beautiful and a perfect location to the park. We were lucky to get to see the volcano erupt during our stay. We appreciated the tips on things to do in the area to help make the most out of your stay
What a great place!! Quiet and peaceful and private. Beautiful place!! We enjoyed our time, we were happy to use the hot tub our first night. The closeness to the National Volcano Park was an asset. Thank you!
Perfect location to visit Volcano National Park!
Paradise in paradise is what we had staying here. The privacy and setting was second to none. The home and grounds are absolutely beautiful and interaction with Melinda was fantastic. I can’t think of one thing that I would change. This place if 5 star all the way and so are the owners. Would love to come back again someday!
We were cold and couldn’t get fire going, had trouble with TV, and it had a moldy smell, which may be typical for that damp area. We also just might be incompetent!
Such a good location, 5 min drive to the park. Nice backyard with a hot tub. Kitchen with all the essentials and more. Great stay!
What a beautiful place! The attention to detail and craftsmanship make this a lovely place to be cozy and warm in. Proximity to the national park made it so easy to get to early hikes and sunset volcano viewings. And the house is very well appointed with everything one might need. Grateful for such a beautiful place to stay!!
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 was a lovely place to stay near Volcano, HI. Great location near the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the town of Volcano which had some good restaurants. It was clean and was stocked with everything we needed for the time we were there.
Excellent property and host. All communication was clear and we had no problems with the stay. We just wish we could stay longer!
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.
