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. .

Remote and beautiful
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! The host has some highly specific rules, but nothing we couldn’t comply with.

Amazing Stay
We loved our stay!! The drive to the location felt like an adventure in the rainforest. The property comes with a beautiful history. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and waking up surrounded by the trees. Better experience than our stay at the Volcano House! Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Very moist and not very clean
It rained the day we were supposed to arrive, and our host gave us an hour’s notice that he was denying access for that night, so we had to quickly find a place to stay. We arrived the next day, and stayed 3 nights. Everything was damp and clammy. I don’t think the unit ever dried out. Spiders and webs everywhere, but maybe that’s typical for a rain forest. We were not happy with the unit but felt we did not have alternative options since our host said he would not refund us.

Unexpected Beauty in the Rainforest
We had a wonderful stay at Jim's property. We had seen some reviews talk about the beautful gardens, but we had no idea! For plant lovers, gardeners, or simply nature lovers, this is the place for you! The property is full of old growth ohias, hapu'u ferns, and countless varieties of flowers and plants. The most special however are the numerous vireya rhododendrons! Absolutely amazing. The guest suite has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the street is quiet and secluded, but the highlight for us was definitely the beautiful walking paths throughout the gardens. Thank you for sharing such a magical place with us Jim!

Good location, but old and musty.
Located in the rainforest near Volcanos NP. The studio had basic necessities, but not much more. Very strong musty smell and lots of rules including no Thai food allowed. Bathroom very small and shower head located about chest high. Not in the cleanest condition.

Located right outside of the NP entrance, but far enough away from main roads that you felt like you were in your own little world.

Wonderful Studio in a Garden
The location of the town of Volcano is unique. The studio was down a beautiful one lane road surrounded by lovely plants and foliage . The studio accommodation itself was just right for 2 people. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Walking through the large garden was calming and inspirational. There are easy paths through flowers , shrubs and trees, with a koi pond and seats along the way. We were very fortunate to be able to reserve this year for my birthday. Mahalo!

Ok place but a bit creepy
Had to drive about 1km through a road surrounded by jungle. Very isolated. Jim seemed nice. Did not realise this was a home stay with a very flimsY door connecting to a house. Pics depicted a separate unit. Lots of rain on a tin roof and creaking noises of the houses led to a restless sleep. Did not feel safe in the place tbh, though could just be me not use to home stays

This was a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are absolutely incredible!!! The birds, frogs and insects provide such a soothing/calming background. Wandering the grounds, you can find a sitting area that overlooks a small koi pond. When I was there, there were so many flowers in bloom. I would highly recommend this as a location to stay!!
