About this property

Hand Crafted Luxury Home with Jacuzzi & Fireplace


Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and experience the Aloha of Hawaii Island while staying at this gorgeous, hand crafted home near Volcano Golf Course. Nestled amongst the native Koa and Ohia Lehua Trees with a sweeping view of Mauna Loa and a steady serenade from the numerous native birds, this Hawaiian retreat will envelope you with a complete sense of peace and relaxation. Hale Ka Lehua was designed by owners John & Mindi Clark and personally built by John which shows in every well thought out detail.
The extensive use of glass gives one the feeling of being outside while within the warm comfort of indoors...perhaps snuggled next to the wood burning fireplace.
This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath retreat has a completely private master bedroom located outside of the main home off of the front lanai. This sweet room has a full sized memory foam bed with a native garden view, 1/2 bath, night stand,reading lights over the bed and a small space heater for extra chilly winter nights.
The main floor bedroom has a queen memory foam bed, a small desk and closet and is located across the hall from the full bath (both tub & shower).
The upstairs 'room with a view'' is a multi-purpose room with a full size Futon sofa bed (a real mattress not a cotton one along with a memory foam mattress pad topper) that can be used as a reading or game room, a bedroom or a perfect place to practice Yoga, meditate or simply have some quiet time enjoying the full, mountain view of Mauna Loa through Frank Lloyd Wright inspired seamless corner windows.
The kitchen boasts gorgeous 'Flower Garden' granite, gas stove and oven and is completely stocked with Le Creuset cookware, small appliances and wine/cocktail glasses.
French doors spill out from the solid ohia wood floored living & dining room onto the wrap around lanai that has outside dining and gas BBQ grill as well.
We invite you to come enjoy the beauty and quietude of this beautiful home while exploring the amazing dynamics of Kilauea, the world's most active volcano located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The 'Dry side' of Volcano keeps you out out of what can be a constant drizzle & fog that shrouds the eastern flank. The golf course area is located just beyond the crest of 4,000' and dips you into the Kau side of Volcano where the temps will still range from the 40's to the mid 70's but with far more sun! We are 3 miles past the entrance to the park, but you can walk to the edge of the caldera from our home in just 20 minutes...a perfect place to sip a glass of wine while soaking in the view of Halema'uma'u and getting a glimpse of the powers of Madame Pele.
Both the Volcano Golf Course and Volcano Winery are within a few minutes walk from the house.

Volcano stay

We had a wonderful stay at the property while visiting Volcano National Park. The property was beautiful and a perfect location to the park. We were lucky to get to see the volcano erupt during our stay. We appreciated the tips on things to do in the area to help make the most out of your stay

Gorgeous and cozy

What a beautiful place! The attention to detail and craftsmanship make this a lovely place to be cozy and warm in. Proximity to the national park made it so easy to get to early hikes and sunset volcano viewings. And the house is very well appointed with everything one might need. Grateful for such a beautiful place to stay!!

Amazing house and location!

We absolutely loved our stay here in Volcano. The house is a 5 minute drive to Volcano National Park. We got to view the eruption and had dinner at the volcano restaurant with beautiful views! Punalu’u, The Black Sands Beach is about a 30 minute drive and has amazing snorkeling with lots of turtles! Highly recommend staying here! Beautiful house! We will definitely return to stay here.

Amazing Hideaway in Volcano

We had a marvelous stay in Volcano, the house is spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the kitchen and back patio + private jungle backyard. We were disappointed the Jacuzzi was not working during our stay but Mindi made up for that (and few misses by the cleaning staff) with the gift of some amazing live orchids from her farm, that arrived after we got back home! Highly recommended!!

Family vacation & birthday celebration

We had a wonderful four night stay in Volcano celebrating our twin daughters’ 16th birthday. The home was perfectly located near the park and our daughters loved having their own space to retreat to after a long day of exploring the park. Would love to come back and stay again!

We were cold and couldn’t get fire going, had trouble with TV, and it had a moldy smell, which may be typical for that damp area. We also just might be incompetent!

Cozy Cabin

It is a very nice property. Gorgeous cabin with a beautiful view. It is more comfortable for a couple than a family. My family noticed a strong musty smell. We opened the windows immediately. It is very cozy and overall a nice place to stay to take in the beauty of the area.

Cozy cabin in the rain forest

Really enjoyed this private cabin in the rain forest. The wood stove (for warmth and ambience) took a little skill to get going but was comforting during the rain storms. The double sized beds were a little small but ok for one person in each.

Wonderful!

This was the perfect house for us. We especially loved the separate bedroom for our son to stay in. It was a fully stocked kitchen and a nice grill so we cooked in every night. The hot tub was great too! Mindi and John are wonderful hosts with top notch communication. The location was perfect for exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The pictures just don't do this place justice, it's way cooler!

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Clark

Host profile image
We moved to the Hawaiian village of Kalapana located on the SE corner of the Big Island in 1981 to escape the freeways of So. California. We were blessed to live, surf and paddle canoe here for 8 years before Madame Pele covered this community with lava in the late 80's & early 90's. We lost our home to the lava but our orchid farm,'Kalapana Tropicals' that we started in 1987 remains in tact and is now just one of 2 orchid nurseries that we own and operate...the other being in Kurtistown where we have lived since 1990. Free orchid farm tours for our guests!

Why they chose this property

We love the Volcano area for it's cool weather, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and hiking and cycling opportunities. The 'DRY' side of Volcano has far more sun than the heart of Volcano Village and the neighborhood is very quiet.

What makes this property unique

We selected this property because it is located on the 'dry side' of Volcano, it's bounty of native Koa and Ohia trees that are filled with birds. John took great care in removing only enough trees to build and the home is designed with a bedroom off the lanai to save trees and give this home a tree house feel. Our hand-crafted home is filled with windows for great views and a feeling on being outside.
