Perfect location for 2 people visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Staying this close made it easy to get to the park to see the latest eruption. The garden on site is beautiful. Some other reviews complained about not having hot water, the host clearly states it takes a while, so just give it time. And yes we saw a spider, took two seconds to remedy that. It's in the middle of a rainforest which is beautiful, but if you want to be in nature, you might just see nature. So don't let those reviews scare you off. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and hope to stay again the next time we visit the park.

Tranquil Hideaway

My bestie and I were looking for an impromptu trip to Volcanos National Park and found this hidden gem. Just minutes away from the summit caldera it was the perfect location for our excursions both day and night. The accommodations were cozy and clean, and provided all the conveniences we needed. A surprise bonus was the property itself -two beautiful acres of walking paths and flower gardens. We can't thank Jim enough for his hospitality!

We were happy to leave

Booked unit re location to Volcano National Park. Showed nice inside-pleasant surroundings. Bought groceries to enable cooking meals during stay. Disappointed to discover no stove. By definition a “kitchenette “ usually includes small cooktop Host blamed us us not doing “homework” re amenities finalizing comment “I don’t want you to stay because if you do you’ll give me a terrible review”. Wanted to leave but said no refund so stayed. Closer look at pics proved host right, only microwave, coffee pot, hot water kettle, toaster. Scant to say the least. No large bowl for salad, no soup spoons—used teaspoons. No space to eat on table. Ate meals on lap. One thin dish towel, no potholders to remove hot food from microwave. No ice trays—wouldn’t fit anyway. Freezer needed defrosting. No can opener to open can of tuna for hike next day. Sign next to shower says conserve water. Took 2 minutes to get hot water—we timed it. Moldy shower curtain. Spongy toilet seat smelly and unsanitary. Musty, moldy odor, dust in corners of room and under bed. Outlets not working to charge devices. Breaker bar next to TV reliable. Very cold. Space heater provided more dust than heat. A 2-star rating and a question: what’s with the Thai food ban??

Volcano hideaway w beautiful gardens

Quiet and extremely convenient to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The room was as advertised and had everything needed—plates, bowls, utensils, cleaning supplies, paper towels, small refrigerator, toaster and coffee pot. Comfortable bed and TV. Electric heater for cool mornings. Big windows to the garden area. The town had a nice laundromat and a few convenience stores w the basics. Hilo is only 40min away for bigger grocery stores and more restaurants. .

Just don’t look for the property for the first time at night— it’s very tucked away on a rough road! But a perfect place to stay at night after visiting the volcano national park, very peaceful, clean and well appointed. Huge comfy bed!
