This was a beautiful experience. The room and amenities were perfect. The garden was magnificent. The word garden does not adequately describe this beautiful, extensive, floral, exotic experience. Being this close to the National Volcano Park was such a bonus.

Jim is a quick and responsive host. Dropping a pin to us to navigate was quite helpful with spotty internet availability. The studio is a unique and charming space in an unbelievably gorgeous location! The 2 acre rainforest flower gardens have been curated and loved over several decades - what a treasure to share! We will remember this visit forever. Thank you!

Great location tucked away in the jungle, perfect for exploring Hawaii volcanoes national Park. It was safe and secure, and the bed was very comfortable. The electric blankets were a nice touch as it gets quite chilly on the volcano at night. However, it is quite expensive for what you get, especially considering you can stay at the beautiful hotel in the park for not much more. I would have given them 4 stars, however after we left we were charged for a towel that was apparently stained and when I asked for a photo for reference, I did not receive one (I also did not receive a response when I asked, although the owner stated that there was a photograph for reference) and my credit card was charged another 15.

The location was beautiful easy to access the instructions. While unique we’re fairly accurate and easy to follow. This property was definitely a place where you can go disconnect and unwind. I would exercise caution in booking your rental vehicle as there are limitations to the size of rental vehicle that will fit in the carport of the property.

It was a one night stay and a last minute booking. For the price, probably a bit high. Proximity to the park is awesome and the carport provided is great. Getting here was a little confusing but instructions provided helped. The garden on the property is so nice to walk around in.The room itself was fine. The best part was the heating pad on the bed was awesome. However the comforter and shams could use a refresh with a quick wash. Had a bit of an odor that was off putting. Also could use deep clean to remove dust.

This is a former garage and separated from the owners home by a pocket door with a large gap that can be seen through. The room only has a space heater for temperature control, which was pretty chilly with all windows open in the pouring rain. It was 59 degrees when we arrived.

About the host

Hosted by Jim

Host profile image
I am a Fifth generation Island boy, who grew up on Oahu. I spent a number of my childhood summers here in Volcano prior to our family building a second home here in the Village. I now live in the home.I love the big isle and think it has so much to offer. Volcano is the best place for weary travelers to come for a day or two of relaxation.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very unique and well known in the village due to the garden. My father started planting over 35 years ago and it has turned into a beautiful place with paths, rhododendrons, native Hawaiian plants, two tea houses and a koi pond. It was our second home when I was younger and I spent many summers here in Volcano. Additionally, my Mother spent many Summers here too, as did many of the old Kamaaina families. There is a lot of history is this part of the island. Tall tales, and some not so tall.

What makes this property unique

Volcano Village lends itself to quiet, nature, friendly people and community. However we value our privacy here too, making a great place to rest for a day or two before heading home, Kona or another island.
