This is a beautifully landscaped retreat nestled in a quiet community on an active volcano. A great location to access the many delights of the big island of Hawai'i! Cheree is a great host!
The house was beautiful, well laid out. It worked well for 5 people. It's just a couple of minutes from Volcanoes Park. The host was very helpful and responded quickly. My hula sisters and I had a wonderful visit!

We are so happy that we could accommodate all of you and maybe host you next year. Thanks for keeping the home so clean and tidy. We appreciate it very much.
This is a wonderful home near Volcano National Park. The decor is welcoming and there were so many thoughtful touches to help our stay such as fun cloth slippers, flashlights & masks for night viewing at the volcano & to protect against ash/tephra. Also swim towels and a well organized notebook showing how to work everything as well as check-in/check-out info. A travel book about the area was a terrific resource and we found lots of off-the-beaten-track things to see in the Hilo area from it. (It was also fun to read with lots of humor) Finally, Cheree is a great communicator. We had a problem with the Keurig coffee maker which she promptly solved and she was always available if we had questions. The photos accurately represent the property inside & out. We highly recommend this property!!

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s peaceful and surrounded by rainforest, yet only minutes from Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. I love how easy it is to visit the park early or even head up when activity is happening—sometimes I check the webcams and go before the crowds. Being close to Volcano Village, local cafés, and the farmers market makes it an ideal place to relax and explore.
