I would recommend and it is just 5 minutes from the park entrance. Keep in mind that their is a really small entrance and be careful during night time as visibility is zero.
Super close to volcano national park! I had room #2 which had two beds. The TV is in a weird spot though (couldn’t see the screen from the big bed). More curtains for privacy would be a nice addition. The owner was nice and the room had everything I needed. Easy check-in. Quiet and cozy.
This is a wonderful place to stay in volcano. Very eclectic and bohemian with a warm touch of aloha spirit. The hosts are delightful and helpful We arrived very late after s long day and we were shown to our room and made to feel welcome. Our room is very large with two queen beds, a kitchenette and a toilet and shower room. Very comfy and cozy. In the morning we were delighted to find ourselves in a tropical paradise with lots of greenery and flowers. Beautiful. We also were happy to find ourselves 5-10 minutes from Hawaii volcano national park. We spent a lot of time at the park enjoying volcanic activity. This was a dream lifetime experience for us
We loved staying here and the hot tub in the jungle was amazing. We even had the volcano glowing in the background one night. Great place with great hosts.
We stayed at this cute B & B near the volcano. Our room had a mini kitchen, two beds, a shower bathroom. It had personality! The grounds are lovely. I felt like we were in the jungle. The room had a funky smell. We enjoyed our time there.
Nice clean rooms and a perfect place to base from if you want to explore Volcano National Park
We stayed in Suite 6, the room was beautiful and comfortable. We loved the terrarium in the room! They provided us with an assortment of fresh fruits, snacks, and some breakfast options. The lodge is located in such a quiet and serene spot, and only minutes from the volcano national park. We enjoyed our stay so much and I absolutely recommend this place!
Really cool little lodge about 2 miles away from Volcano National Park. The owners were really nice, and we're able to accommodate us at the last minute. We were provided with oatmeal, fresh fruit and various snacks that are great for a long day of hiking.
