Perfect Jungalow

We had a fantastic stay at the Jungalow. The location was very close to Hawaii Volcano’s National Park and not too far from Hilo. We were able to explore the area and have a convenient home base. Also, it was soo cute! If we ever return to Hawaii we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place

The Jungalow was such a wonderful little piece of heaven in the rainforest at the base of the volcano. It was very clean and communication was very responsive.We enjoyed the location as there were no neighbors, at least you couldn't see any. Our stay was very enjoyable!

Perfect place for visiting volcanoes and other sights

The Jungalow was beautiful and came with everything we needed for our group of 5. The location was perfect for our first visit to Volcanoes national park and other sights on the windward side of the big island. The wild chickens were the favorites for the grandkids. Would highly recommend and book again.

great location

So near National Park that we could take a break at the house during rain. Very well equipped kitchen with Kurdig and great tea selection. If you need groceries, buy them at the General Store in the park at the military camp. Open 8-8 and has everything. Much better than the grocery store in Volcano Village which is not even as big as some we’ve seen in the high Sierras for hikers. Only complaint in Jungalow is need more light in every room.

Excellent accommodations. Exceptionally clean. We have stayed in Volcano 2 times before in the Hiiaka House…which is no longer a rental. I found Jungalo Bungalow online and liked what I saw. I strongly recommend a stay here if the Volcano National Park is in your plans. …or one could choose to stay at Volcano House for hundreds of dollars more plus having to buy all your meals! We were very pleased with Jungalo Bungalow!

Charming Jungalow

This home is the perfect location for exploring Volcanoes National Park. It was cozy, clean, spacious, and very well equipped. It had everything we needed. We loved the string lights on the front porch, electric fireplace, comfy beds, and chatty chickens in the yard. The owners thought of everything you could need - the coffee, shampoo and conditioner, and laundry detergent were really thoughtful touches to include.The home also offered privacy and solitude, yet it is located in a neighborhood close to the park and restaurants. The Jungalow was easily accessible coming from either Hilo or the Kona side. I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to stay in the area. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay!

Volcano stay.

The Jungalow is cute and convenient. It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. My 3 year old loved the chickens! We were fortunate that we were able to see the volcano erupt and loved being close enough that we could go to Volcano Park during the day and again at night.

Too little time!!

The Jungalow is so inviting and charming! I wish we had more time to enjoy the tranquil setting and the lovely home - and in such proximity to Volcano NP! Every detail was thought of, and the host was easy to contact, and the Jungalow would be a lovely place to unwind while visiting the Big Island!

Great spot!

This was the perfect place to stay as we waited for Pele to make her appearance on Kilauea. It's an easy 10 minute drive to the national park, and Hilo town is less than 45 minutes away. The house is cozy and comfortable, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of thoughtful amenities and charm.

Perfect for our trip

The property was perfect for our visit to the Volcano National Park. It was nice that it had coffee, spices and other basic cooking supplies. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice having 2 full baths. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Just a wonderful stay. My only comment is not about the accommodations but just to plan ahead from a food perspective. We stopped at a grocery store on the way out of Hilo and bought food as a lot of restaurants close early.

Fantastic stay!

Loved our time at the Jungalow. So close to the park!! Easy to “pop” in… we were fortunate enough to see some actual lava flow/fountaining! We also were blessed with a clear night… seeing the stars from the park is truly incredible. Really appreciated the fireplace and the heaters as it was definitely much cooler than the Kona side. Spent some time on the porch watching the chickens… so fun to watch them interact!

Great area! Very different

Very very conveniently located! It's about ten minutes from Volcanoes National Park, and not too far from other areas of interest as well. We visited from Kona so the difference in climate was extremely refreshing. Love the consideration placed in the small things too, like heated blankets and individual space heaters. It does get a little chilly in the evening at that altitude but I love the cooler nights. Thanks for the opportunity to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mira Alexander

Host profile image
My husband and I are born and bred Midwesterners. We both have backgrounds in architecture and design as well as a shared love of nature, art, and travel. We recently inherited the Jungalow, a family home which has been in the family since 2014. We hope you enjoy your stay and all the beauty Volcano has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love the natural setting that surrounds the Jungalow as well as the interior features such as high ceilings clad in wood, an open floor plan and the cozy gas fireplace. Both the interior and exterior of the Jungalow have been lovingly restored over the past year. The home's proximity to Volcanoes National Park and attractions surrounding Hilo make the Jungalow a perfect home base for exploring the area. We enjoy hearing what drew other neighbors to the area and love the relaxed way of life the area offers.

What makes this property unique

I feel the attention to detail sets the Jungalow apart from other homes in the area. From the carefully chosen artwork to the fresh orchids, every detail of the Junglaow was carefully planned and thought out.
