Romantic tropical paradise

Not a traditional hotel, but more of a B&B, this place shattered expectations. The room was absolutely gorgeous and very romantic with a king bed, private porch, whirlpool tub and a fireplace in an ultra tropical environment. The owners were warm and friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. It's also only 5ish minutes from Volcano National Park, which was perfect for us. 10/10 would definitely stay again!

What a amazing place! If you are looking for a romantic get away this is the place. They did not miss anything, from the bath to the whirlpool. I was very concerned about staying in a place that was not on the normal path but this place was amazing. Loved everything about it…if you are on the fence about booking it -I highly recommend you take the chance and stay there!

Fantastic Hidden Gem

We were impressed from the moment we arrived. The setting is amazing, with two of the best hosts around! No details were ever overlooked, from the assortment of snacks to the already prepped coffee. Room was beautiful! We enjoyed getting some recommendations and volcano updates. My only complaint was that we had to leave. We will be back for sure!

This rain forest retreat is extraordinary in every respect. Upgraded to a tee; only two guest rooms, immaculately appointed in the heart of orchids and tree ferns. We also stayed at the Mauna Kea at 4-5x the cost, also exceptional but without the personal service and touch. If you have a chance to stay here, it will be memorable

Excellent stay, highly recommended in Volcano!

First of all, pictures do not do this place justice! It is pristine and right in the jungle. Top notch service from the hosts, nice outdoor hot tub with short walkway through jungle to get to. Extremely clean with a wonderful extra touch, very comfortable and hosts were very personable, friendly, accommodating and left great recommendations of where to eat and what to do in the Volcano and surrounding area. I'm definitely recommending this place to all my friends and family and absolutely will be coming back again!

I can’t say enough great things about this place. The owners are wonderful, and there are thoughtful touches throughout the entire room. There’s nothing quite like falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. Literally 5 minutes from Volcano National Park, and feels secluded but safe. When I come back to Big Island, I’ll definitely go out of my way to stay here again. Thank you Eric, Chris, and Po!
