Nice location, quiet, beautiful garden to walk around with a place to sit. Tidy with everything we needed for a short stay.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

A very lovely stay! Such a gorgeous property and very convenient to Volcano. Jim was there during our arrival and was very kind. The interior was perfect for our needs and walking around the garden was an added plus to our trip! Would absolutely stay here again. Mahalo!

It’s about 3 miles from the park. It’s about one mile of unpaved road to the house and it’s tricky to find at night. There are food, market, and gas options super nearby. It’s beautiful and quiet amd the perfect retreat to end a very active day

10.0 / 10.0

The accommodations are fine. A small place with a comfortable large bed. Mini-kitchen was fine for simple uncooked fare. What makes this vrbo exceptional are the surrounding wonderful, beautiful garden and walking paths. Perfect for nature lovers. We also walked the adjacent paved road/streets and found endemic Hawaiian birds like the ‘Apapane and Hawaiian Hawk.Thank you to our host!ps, some nice food options nearby in Volcano, the bar/pizza place (Lanikai), small market, and excellent Thai place. (And thank you to Kīlauea for erupting - amazing!)Mahalo Hawai’i.

This was a great home base for a day at HVNP. The listing was perfectly accurate and we knew exactly what to expect. Jim was responsive to communication and considerate during our stay. I would absolutely come again.

I stayed at Bill’s property for about a week, doing hybrid work and spending time with nearby family. It was a lovely experience, very comfortable, lovely surroundings, and perfect for me

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect location for 2 people visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Staying this close made it easy to get to the park to see the latest eruption. The garden on site is beautiful. Some other reviews complained about not having hot water, the host clearly states it takes a while, so just give it time. And yes we saw a spider, took two seconds to remedy that. It's in the middle of a rainforest which is beautiful, but if you want to be in nature, you might just see nature. So don't let those reviews scare you off. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and hope to stay again the next time we visit the park.

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent, first class stay and unexpected surprise - love the garden it’s a mini arboretum with rare subspecies of rhododendron!

10.0 / 10.0

This a good place to stay if you’re visiting Madam Pele at its finest. The living area was comfortable and clean. The place is surrounded by a beautiful garden; truly your own access to a local botanical garden.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice room with good bed and bath and basic kitchen capabilities. TV with Roku and an excellent Japanese garden to stroll through. I would stay here again.

8.0 / 10.0

Excellent property, gardens and location close to Volcano National Park. Nice and private with comfortable bed. Host easy to contact. Tiny kitchen area could benefit with an eating/seating area.

My bestie and I were looking for an impromptu trip to Volcanos National Park and found this hidden gem. Just minutes away from the summit caldera it was the perfect location for our excursions both day and night. The accommodations were cozy and clean, and provided all the conveniences we needed. A surprise bonus was the property itself -two beautiful acres of walking paths and flower gardens. We can't thank Jim enough for his hospitality!

10.0 / 10.0

This accommodation is immaculate, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The king-sized bed is firm and supportive. An acre of beautiful gardens on the property are a pleasure to stroll through. The host is easy to communicate with and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

What a wonderful little hideaway! Small efficiency with a king bed that’s heated!! Gets a bit cool in the evenings but there’s a space heater to keep us comfy!! Kitchenette’s just right for a couple of days exploring the Volcano & surrounding area!! Host is very nice & responds quickly!! Would return again!!

Jim’s place was fantastic, just what we needed to be close to Volcano National Park to see episode 19. Great communication, location and view of the flowers and paths through the property.

8.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our stay and stroll through the garden at the house. It was very quiet and comfortable. The house is tucked pretty far back and you can't use GPS, but once you memorize the route you're fine.

8.0 / 10.0

The location was good for going to the National park. The road conditions getting to the property we okay, careful with low cars. The places itself was very cute. Check in and out was easy. There was a binder with places nearby to visit, eat, and explore.

4.0 / 10.0

Booked unit re location to Volcano National Park. Showed nice inside-pleasant surroundings. Bought groceries to enable cooking meals during stay. Disappointed to discover no stove. By definition a “kitchenette “ usually includes small cooktop Host blamed us us not doing “homework” re amenities finalizing comment “I don’t want you to stay because if you do you’ll give me a terrible review”. Wanted to leave but said no refund so stayed. Closer look at pics proved host right, only microwave, coffee pot, hot water kettle, toaster. Scant to say the least. No large bowl for salad, no soup spoons—used teaspoons. No space to eat on table. Ate meals on lap. One thin dish towel, no potholders to remove hot food from microwave. No ice trays—wouldn’t fit anyway. Freezer needed defrosting. No can opener to open can of tuna for hike next day. Sign next to shower says conserve water. Took 2 minutes to get hot water—we timed it. Moldy shower curtain. Spongy toilet seat smelly and unsanitary. Musty, moldy odor, dust in corners of room and under bed. Outlets not working to charge devices. Breaker bar next to TV reliable. Very cold. Space heater provided more dust than heat. A 2-star rating and a question: what’s with the Thai food ban??

10.0 / 10.0

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. .

Natural beauty in this large thoughtfully designed garden property with pathways to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Lots of privacy and quiet space to unwind, enjoy the garden of rhododendrons and other beautiful species.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

We decided to stay in Volcano instead of driving in the dark to help provide support for our ultra-runner - Cooper Center to Black Sands.Lovely little house. We had a fabulous getaway.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Close proximity to the national park and a beautiful backyard space to enjoy and relax in. The accommodation had everything we could possibly need.

The gardens are so beautiful and amazing. It’s like staying in a botanical garden. Jim was great with communication and responsive. Beautiful property and great stay.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

Amazingly calm and peaceful setup surrounded by nature. Birds were chirping all night and we slept like a baby.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

6.0 / 10.0

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.
