Beautiful Unique Home

Our family group of 10 stayed comfortably at this unique tropical home. The host, Jenny, was kind and accomodating which made us feel very welcomed. Location was great to access Volcano National Park as well as being in close proximity to Hilo. The kids loved to climb up to the observation room. We enjoyed our stay and the hopsitality of our host!

Great staycation

We had a very private get away from the hustle and bustle of Hilo Town. Great VRBO if you like a secluded hideaway. Owner was very nice and accommodating. Only hiccup was opening and closing the front gate.

This was such a fun, peaceful property!

We came over for a quick one-night trip to see the volcano and celebrate a birthday. It was such a cool property with plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for activities in Hilo and at Volcano. Highly recommend.

Beautiful stay in the jungle!

This was a beautiful, secluded place to stay right in between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Starting the mornings with coffee on the back porch listening to the birds was a highlight of our trip. Jenny is a very communicative host, and was awesome to work with.

hidden gem

we needed a place for 10 of us to stay, close to volcano. this was a wonderful, affordable option in a really quirky space! everyone was comfortable, the host was super responsive and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. the property is in a secluded, out of the way spot too, but grocery store was only 15 min away.

Private getaway

Situated between Volcanos National Park and Hilo, this is a unique home with everything we needed to recharge for our next adventure on the Big Island. The kids liked playing hide-and-seek in this spacious home.The home is in a private residential area where dense forest and a private gate in the driveway all but guarantee privacy.The host was made us tea from a local plant, which was a nice touch.

Unique house near Volcano Park

Stayed for only one night. 20 minutes from the park. House is spacious, quirky and lovely (it is a geodesic dome). Secluded yard with large covered back deck we enjoyed. Jenny is a gracious host who met us and toured the house with us, explaining everything along the way. House was clean with lots of linens and a fridge full of condiments and such free for us to use. House can easily sleep a large family.

Spacious…3.5 but could be 5 stars

The property is quiet and the house is spacious, very clean, comfortable an has all the basics you need and the host is hospitable. Our issues were with the inaccuracy of the listing and limited response from host when we asked for clarity and pictures of the bedrooms. Although the house is spacious, it is not 4 rooms. It’s 2 rooms with 1 loft and an observatory area that the average person would find very difficult, nearly impossible, to access and use as a bedroom. The “stairs” to the observatory area are actually flip down footsteps without any railing.We booked the place expecting it to comfortably house 6-8 adults, unfortunately it was not and we ended up having to try find another place same day making for a very stressful first day of vacation.

Dome house

Host made sure the entire stay that we had what we needed. The house was a really cool design and set back from the road makes it peaceful and feal like your by yourself while still being close to necessities. I would highly recommend this property.
