Like being in tropical heaven. Property is amazing and accommodations are conducive for total relaxation. Will stay here many more tines in the future.
Great all around property and location. Very clean, secluded and beautiful location, and centrally located between Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Hilo. Our family of 5 was very comfortable here and would definitely choose to stay again if we are in the area.
This house had everything we were looking for during our stay on the Big Island. We wanted a place close to both Volcanoes National Park and to the town of Hilo and this house fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of room for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked, the full size washing machine and dryer were great to have, and there were plenty of beach towels, blankets, and even a full size cooler to use. I was a little nervous about the temperate of the house since it doesn't have air conditioning. We stayed in late July / early August and the evenings were pleasantly cool. We had to close the windows and use the blankets at night as the evenings got down to the 60s. Would definitely stay here on again on a future trip. The host was quick to respond to the few questions I did have.
We immensely enjoyed our time in such a quiet and tranquil setting.
Property was beautiful and spotless, very nice tv and very cute. Host was so nice and accommodating, highly recommend!
Beautiful property and very comfortable beds.
I have lived in Hawaii and also stayed on vacation several times. Linda’s rainforest home is truly the most unique and peaceful stay I’ve had. The home is super clean, and comfortable. Location to volcano park is the best you can get outside the NP. We spent the day at the park, came back home for dinner, found out the volcano was erupting (thank you Linda!) and zipped back to the park to view the glow of red lava! Falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest is the best! You could spend hours just exploring the home’s beautiful rainforest surroundings! If you don’t stay here you’re missing out on the best of Hawaii. Shout out to Linda for being a super host and always responding quickly to questions! Mahalo! We hope to return someday!
If you are looking for a hidden gem, this is it. Not anything fancy or luxurious here. Beautiful rainforest surroundings. One thing, bring ear plugs, the nighttime creatures are very loud. Clise to Volcanoes National Park. Shopping needs in Kurtistown. Highly recommended for an inexpensive stay.

Large comfortable cabin. Beautiful, heavily vegetated setting. The sounds of frogs and insects at night are amazing! Very private and relaxing. Convenient to sights at the National Park and the Hilo area.
My family of 4 loved this rustic home. The property is gorgeous and we loved all the frogs, birds and sounds of nature. It’s secluded and private, but not too far from all the sights of the island. Plenty of drinking water was provided, as well as all other kitchen and bath amenities to make our stay comfortable. The screened in porch was a perfect hangout. Linda was a great host and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again!
Great location halfway between Hilo and Volcano. The property is away from main road and quiet. It is fenced in so kids can run around safely. There is a lot for them to explore. Make sure you take rain boots for the kids. Each bedroom has a king size bed. You will hear the coqui frogs every night. We loved the location and our stay there. I wish there was a dishwasher in the kitchen.
We loved our few days in this beautiful jungle setting. We enjoyed our time away from the hustle and bustle of the city and resorts and the privacy of the jungle setting. The screened in lanai was a wonderful place to relax and listen to all the birds, frogs and rain. The inside of the cabin was comfortable and cozy with ceiling fans that keep the temperature tolerable. The location between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park is great with it being about a 30 min drive to either place.We only had a few minor complaints/annoyances. The kitchen could be better stocked as we couldn’t find any baking pans or dishes, there wasn’t any salt, and for the life of us we couldn’t get the Keurig to work. We have a lot of experience with Keurigs, but the reusable cup would not work with the machine. There is a regular coffee pot. There are also only metal spatulas provided to use with the nonstick pans. It also seems as though it’s been awhile since the cabin has had a deep clean to get rid of cobwebs and dust. Overall, we would recommend staying here to our friends, but those few improvements would have made our stay a little more enjoyable.
Was just as described in listing. Very nice location. Enjoyed stay.
This is a respite from the hustle of the resort world. The jungle is alive with its own vibes. Chicken's, frogs and occasional domesticated barks. Perfect for sampling this side of the island. Kilauea was flowing and less than 30 minutes away. Kaleo’s in Orchidland was awesome and close.
We stayed at the Lehua Lodge for two nights and it was an awesome experience! We loved how the lodge was in a secluded area surrounded by lush green plants! The place was spacious providing empty space to keep luggage. We also loved how she provided water so we wouldn't get dehydrated. The lodge was clean although we would have liked it if the couches were less dusty and cleaner. Overall, our stay was a wonderful experience and we would definitely come here again.pproviding an empty space to store lugg
The stay was wonderful my family really loved the place and will be back next year me and my husband live just down the road from the lodge and my husband mom and aunt and cousin came and stayed in the lodge and fell in love with it .so they will rent it again next year.
This place met all our expectations. We loved the screened in patio area! The grounds were so lovely! Plenty of room in the house. I highly recommend this place!
We decided to do our vow renewal on the beautiful grounds!
This place was great for what we needed - a couple of nights stay wile touring Volcanoes National Park. It is cozy and quaint. Linda was very helpful with getting us to the popert in the dark. Go with her written directions and not the Google Maps directions and trh to get there when it is still daylight out !
We LOVED our stay at this cottage in the jungle. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The property is magical and so beautifully kept with amazing plants, trees, and flowers. We loved being off the beaten path and away from the tourist bustle. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We loved that there were two king size beds. The outdoor shower was a delight. The frogs are loud at night but we enjoyed them (they are great background noise to sleep to). It’s close enough to both Hilo and Volcano Park that we could do all the sightseeing we wanted without too long of a drive. The owner was easy to communicate with. If you like being out in nature away from it all, this is the place for you!
As mentioned in the listing, this place is a cozy getaway in the Ohia rainforest. While it's not a modern abode, its rustic charm is perfect if you’re looking for a country retreat. The water here comes from a catchment system, and even though we ran out on our third night, the host was super quick to refill our tank and fix a clogged filter issue.
This spot is great if you want to escape city life, soak up some nature, and listen to the coqui frogs at night. It gives you a safe, secluded experience without missing out on basics like water, electricity, and internet.
At first it was hard for us Alaskans to deal with the heat. I assumed a hot state would have air conditioning in that area, turns out, most do not. The owner stated it would cool down when night hit and she was right, it became comfortable quickly. This place is beyond amazing, it felt like we were living in another world, every inch of the yard was magical and the sounds were so relaxing. Very clean place with everything you will need. 5 stars easy!
Nice quiet home away from home
This is a great house away from everything! Fairly close to the national park!
The home was very homey and comfortable. We just relaxed so much and it was close to family. We would stay again.
Lovely area, laundry a bonus, air cooling units a plus, fire detector battery needs changed, a few more towels would be nice, and an extra baking sheet also. A bit dusty and locks could use a spray of silicone regularly. Overall a nice place to stay.
We absolutely loved our stay! The location is perfect, right between Volcano National Park and Hilo. The grounds are amazing and the frogs sang us to sleep every night. The screened in porch is wonderful for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. The house is well maintained and very clean. Highly recommend.
