Quality Home in the Rainforest

The Volcano Home has a rugged sense of utility in its architecture, without losing a hint of homeliness or convenience. The area itself is quite rural, with gravel road crisscrossing dense rainforest. The hosts stock the kitchen, bath, and rooms with plenty of conveniences that might have been forgotten.

Great Attention to Detail

Beautifully decorated with fresh plants/flowers. Nice secluded location just a few minutes from the volcano. The owner notified us on our first morning that a new eruption had started earlier; and we were able to make it there to witness it. Loved the shower and the comfortable beds. Provided lots of vacation supplies (such as umbrellas and snorkel gear) and a well stocked food pantry.

Once in a lifetime stay

This property has absolutely everything you need (and so much more) for a quiet & comfortable stay. We traveled with our one and a half year old and we truly could’ve packed a sack of clothes for him and been aye okay during our stay here with all the great amenities they had stocked up. You could true heart and soul went into this property and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, this is by far one of the best short term rentals we have ever stayed at! The quiet neighborhood and convenience to the national park was exactly what we were looking for during our first part of our Big Island trip. Definitely don’t skip on staying at the Volcano Home!

Beautiful property

Loved my stay at the Volcano Home. My friend and I spent the last two nights of our Big Island vacation here to access Hawai'i Volcano National Park and Hilo. The property is "off the beaten path" and provides an amazingly memorable experience with a very comfortable homelike experience. I appreciated the communication with Joshua and Geneva that made the entire experience seamless. A beautiful and delicious fruit basket was provided on the kitchen and the entire kitchen is stocked with various food items as well as delicious coffee. One thing that stood out for me was how sustainable the property is, relying on a rain water catchment system for water supply. I can't recommend it enough and can't recommend Joshua and Geneva as wonderful hosts.

Volcano Home

Truly beautiful off grid home with all you need for a comfortable, peaceful stay! The welcome fruit and goodies was a special surprise and very much appreciated! Just a short drive to Volcano National Park which enabled us to see it at night as well as during the day. Really enjoyed the stargazing in the beautiful, clear night sky. The beds were super comfy! Highly recommend!!
