Easy to find with GPS. Very beautiful house and property, location is amazing, loved the weather, it was cold in the summer, we used heaters and the fireplace. We also used the I’m fire pit for a quick campfire with s’mores, we fed the koi’s in the koi pond daily and enjoyed just looking at them. Lots of trees and some fruit trees. We loved it so much we’re planning on renting it again in the near future. Highly recommended. The only thing I didn’t like was the glass windows in the primary room and glass doors in the dining room didn’t have curtains, it was a little scary at night when you couldn’t see outside and you feel like someone is watching you, same thing with the bathroom in the primary room, it had glass doors and windows around that you can see from the balcony, no curtains, we couldn’t use it, there was no privacy, didn’t want to shower all exposed. Other than that I loved everything about this house.
Amazing rental. Beautiful house and property. In hindsight we should have stayed longer vs heading to a different location near Kona and just do Kona day trips. Very clean property and uber relaxing both in terms of inside decoration and outside landscaping. We went into the location knowing there was a small selection of food options in the area so we planned ahead of time and had no issues.
Felt like home, only way nicer:)
Great location, great vibe, put the electronics down and find some relaxation! Beautiful property, comfortable beds, fresh air, spacious living spaces and easy to get to.
I'm still amazed that the owner of this property chooses to share it with the world. It was an amazing experience to stay here.
This is one of the best and most unique properties I’ve ever stayed at, B &B wise! The place was immaculately clean and had everything and more that you could want. We love the hot tub and sauna, coy pond , location to the park and the old growth trees and the just absolutely fabulous surrounding property. Can’t recommend highly enough If you are visiting volcanoes national Park, you really should stay at this place . We did not want to leave. So beautiful, peaceful, tranquil, and unique.!!!
We had visiting guests and were hoping that the volcano would cooperate but thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the weekend anyway.The house was extremely comfortable and well equipped,the grounds were lovely.Hot tub, perfect especially with the misty rain falling.Would definitely stay here again.
This property exceeded our expectations and amazed our teenage sons with it's unique merging of house and Hawaiian nature. The house was a short drive from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park entrance, so we were able to go back and forth as needed while we explored the trails. We loved how the house could be completely opened to nature to experience the perfectly relaxing temperatures and breezes typical of this location. The walking trails and level of landscaping care and blending into nature on this property are impressive.If you don't mind being at the end of the road and are craving a very private base camp to explore HVNP, I would highly recommend this location.
We finished our trip to the big island here and two nights weren’t enough! The tranquility, close proximity to Volcanoes National Park and lovely home and grounds were such a pleasure and exceeded our expectations in every way.
We've stayed at this property 3-4 times before. The property was excellent as we expected. The bit bonus was that there was an eruption at Volcano Nat'l Park over a 31 hour period during our stay. We were so lucky! And then it was such a pleasure to come home to a beautiful property each evening. Thank you!
Sorry to be late in responding but soon after I got home I got a very bad case of covid from which I am just now starting to recover. The house is lovely and well-equipped for quite a crowd though we were just two. It's easy access to Volcano National Park made it possible for us to experience an eruption in the middle of the night just before we left. Wow.
This property is amazing on every level. I would really like to meet the owner and thank him for preserving and sharing this rainforest retreat.
This place was amazing! The back yard was the best with the hot tub, outside shower, and sauna! Hot tub had a slight leaking problem but we just kept filling it back up. Really a nice place with everything you need. Would come back for sure!!
We loved staying in this beautiful house! We arrived at night, saw boars twice along the drive, and saw more stars than we've seen in a long time. Waking up to a sunrise with a view of trees from every window was incredible. The sound of birds singing with a view of lush, Hawaiian vegetation while sipping morning coffee was invigorating for the soul. Oh, and Kilauea was erupting during our visit! We feel so fortunate to have stayed at Volcano Big Tree Sanctuary!
What an absolutely amazing property! Spotless and gorgeous. Like staying in a treehouse. I loved the birds, the gardens and walking trails. Our 6 year old loved the koi pond and the lemon trees. So peaceful and perfect, better than I ever imagined. I sure understand why the owner has chosen to preserve this property. It is truly special.
We loved our stay in this gorgeous, historic home. Leaving was the worst part. This quiet, peaceful stay located close to the park was the cherry on top.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
Lovely property. Well taken care of. Everything in working order. Close to national park.
Very beautiful house, love the land. Very close to the volcano national park.
We absolutely loved the house, hot tub and koi pond during our family stay. The house is lovely inside and the decorations are well thought out with reference books that explain Hawaii’s fauna and flora. Highly recommend staying here and while relaxing learn more about Hawaii’s birds, plants and much more.
Hawaii does have a problem with feral pigs and during our stay we witnessed how destructive a pig could be.
We would definitely stay again.
The place was just peaceful and secluded yet on 10 minutes from the national park. Would stay here again next time we visit!
Country rustic very close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The hot tub and sauna are great after a long day’s hiking. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved the peace and quiet.
Visited with family. The house is absolutely wonderful and the surroundings incredibly peaceful and nice.
This place is a botanist's dream! There are beautiful plants everywhere.
Beautiful home in private setting. Great outdoor amenities with the sauna, hot tub, koi pond, and outdoor shower! Outdoor deck space would be lovely during a warmer time of year. Bedrooms were comfortable and feeling as if you out in nature with the vast windows. Kitchen was functional but limited utensils making it necessary to run the dishwasher after every meal. The Green Egg grill was nice, but took some effort to use as it is not a common grilling device for most people. Heads up, bring your own charcoal. We had a fabulous visit being so close to Volcano National Park.
