Overview
Ainani Jade Ohana: 3 bed/2 bath upstairs with 3 bed/1 bath downstairs!
Jade Ohana is a spacious beautified home with vaulted ceilings and many large windows overlooking 18' Hapu'u ferns in a rainforest setting, with serene peaceful views whether it is sunny, misty or rainy.
Albeit we are in Hawaii, at the 4,000 foot elevation and being a rain forest it can get cool especially in the evenings. Our home is cozy and warm for three reasons; we have gas heaters, it is fully carpeted and all the beds have electric blankets. Also many dehumidifiers keep it dry and warm.

*UPDATE SIDENOTE*
A couple or reviews mentioned a "musty odor" noticed downstairs. After much concern and hiring a professional handy-man/ plumber the matter was thoroughly investigated and taken care of and now again we have nice, clean, fresh, air throughout the house.
About Merlenna Higby
We love Hawaii, especially the weather, and the big island has everything big. Moved from Monterey California a beautiful area to an even more beautiful area.
And most exciting of all we live right next to an active volcano, how many people can say that.
Merlenna Higby purchased this house in 2006
Why Merlenna Higby chose Volcano
Up to lately a million visitors a year, thought this might be a rather interesting way to add income.
What makes this house unique
NOW WITH A FORCED AIR GAS HEATER, it's sooo cozy. Close to the Park entrance & easy to find, in the dark. With large windows & huge 15' Hapu'u ferns everywhere, so peaceful & nice. Full kitchen, woodstove, vaulted ceilings, fully carpeted... makes you want to stay longer

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(38 traveler reviews)
Great place for a larger family
Very nice. This place is large, comfortable and well located just a few miles from Hawaii Volcano national park. No hassle rental. I would stay there again without hesitation
Great place by the volcanoes
This was perfect for our group of 7! It was close to the volcanoes. It had everything we needed for our stay.
Great location near the park
We made a quick 2 day trip to the Big Island, so this was an ideal place to stay. The house was very comfortable and met our needs. We were able to see the lava after dark at Jaggar Museum and make it home in decent time. We spent very little time in the house, but it was very comfortable. It even had a wood stove for chilly nights. The owners were very easy to work with and we will rent from them again, when we return.
Wonderful house in the forest
Ainani Jade is a very convenient place to explore HAVO . The location in a quiet forest close to Volcano is perfect, the rooms are quite large , the decor is nice and cosy, and the house has all the required amenities including some pleasant surprises, such as bed heating and supplies for breakfast. We could also use the laundry facilities, which was very convenient. The overall experience was quite positive and we definitely recommend this property
Lovely home in the middle of the ohia forest
For our family of 10 the house was very comfortable and attractively decorated. The master bed was very comfortable. The views from the second level of the ohia/fern forest totally added to the volcano, big island atmosphere. We had a few issues if corrected would add great value to the rental. They are... 1, black sand-like grains were on the sheet of one of the beds downstairs; 2, ran out of napkins; 3, no tissue boxes; 4, slow wifi- could not connect to the internet; 5, t.v. console falling apart which is a danger. It is sagging and trim fell off.
Nice if you only need upstairs and nobody is downstairs
We were glad to be there for just the one night and although the total bill was over $400 ($110 for cleaning fee) it was still less than many places in the area for our group of 8 people. Be aware even with the large cleaning fee signs indicated that we must leave the kitchen as we found it so we spend the morning washing our dishes, towel drying them and putting everything away! We aren't a messy bunch but for that price it seems we could have just left the dishes in the drying rack.
We were just there and being summer things were dry however the downstairs did have a strong odor (perhaps cleaner to cover the mold smell) which did cause breathing problems for some of us who were there. In Hawaii the musty smell is common and I am sure a challenge for owners! The house has some kind of motor that isn't well insulated combined with single pane windows, though it is in a box under the outside staircase, so the noise woke anyone on that side of the house at midnight, 2 am, 4 am and the house was up by 6 am.
The insulation between the upstairs and downstairs is lacking so if you were upstairs in a bathroom you could hear everything going on downstairs, this would have been terrible if we hadn't had both units! Also, downstairs every time someone walked barefoot across the floor it sounded like they were marching in boots.
The owners do have the place well stocked, nicely furnished and clean and were clear about the need to bring drinking water as the water there is not for drinking.
We enjoyed all the windows and opened them up to get a nice breeze throughout the unit, it was of course near 90 degrees that day but with all those windows we didn't miss having air conditioning. It was a nicely decorated unit with plenty of sleeping space, providing that someone can stay downstairs without allergic reaction and with earplugs to mute the sound of the motor outside the window.
