A custom cedar log home completed in 2013, with manicured lush surroundings -hapu’u ferns over 15 feet high reaching up to the sky, fragrant kalihi ginger and an abundance of hydrangeas of various colors throughout the yard.

Our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home offers all of the comforts of home and then some. Beds have flannel sheet to keep you warm on cool Volcano nights; a towel warmer in both bathrooms has your towel ready for a warm hug; skylights in each room lets in the morning sun to get you ready for your day of adventure and the moonlight and starlight at night for a view not visible in the city.

The covered lanai extends across the entire back of the home. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy your meals outdoors and the beauty of your surroundings. The relaxing hot tub on the covered lanai welcomes you after a busy day of adventure.

Come stay in a truly Hawaiian setting and let the Spirit of Aloha touch your soul.

Patterson Family Review

This property was so peaceful. We enjoyed hearing the birds and sitting in the jacuzzi at night. The home was immaculate and beautiful. The beds were so comfy and we will stay here again in the future. If you need a relaxing place to unwind near Volcanic National Park and Hilo, this place is for you!

Wonderful home base for visiting Volcanoes National Park

This was an ideal spot for two couples who wanted to explore the park (and stay on alert for the eruption, which we did see!) but have a very comfortable home to return to, just minutes from the park. We made good use of the wood stove, the hot tub and the well stocked kitchen. Lorena is a very attentive and responsive host. We had a little mix up about the lock box code, but she answered her cell phone immediately and talked us through it. Would definitely recommend.

Kīlauea Eruption

This is an amazing property six minutes from the park entrance. We spent the whole day exploring the park. After a relaxing dinner and soak in the hot tub to soothe some sore muscles I was just about to call it a night. I just couldn’t get enough of the stars on the night sky. I headed out for one last look and the sky was glowing red. ten minutes later we were back in the park watching an amazing eruption. It was amazing.

Beautiful cabin in the rain forest

We are so glad we stayed in this remote part of the island. This cabin was clean, neat and cozy for the two nights we stayed. We enjoyed the hot tub at night listening to nature. It was just a short few minutes drive to the Volcano visitor center. The beds were comfortable and our family of 5 felt at home. We would stay again when we come back into town.

Very beautiful property that is just minutes to the park entrance. Everything was super clean and the beds/bedding were all very comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to be well stocked (and very tidy!). We also didn’t use the hot tub but it too looked super clean (unlike most places we’ve stayed). The sound of the tree frogs at night is magical! Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Convenient base to explore Volcano and Hilo

The home worked great for us. Two adult couples visiting the island. We were looking for a place close to the national park. On the day we arrived, there was a torrential rain storm the entire day. The host was able to get us into the house early which was super helpful since touring was not an option. We enjoyed the hot tub and playing cards to pass the day. Beautiful landscaping. Lots of room. And the full size washer/dryer was much appreciated.

Rain Forest Retreat

We spent 3 nights in this cabin as the home base for exploring the Hilo side of the island. This property is located minutes from the entrance to the National Park making it perfect for a multi day exploration of the park. It is less than an hour to Hilo. It was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was wonderful after hiking. The yard was beautiful and well maintained. A private botanical garden.

Outstanding

Aloha Sweet Hale is quiet and located in a natural setting.This home is clean, very comfortable and well organized. Lorena has thought of everything that you would need during your stay. For the chilly mornings at breakfast, we would use the electric heater provided. Lorena is a great communicator. The artwork is amazing. We were so grateful for the washer and dryer. On our last night/last day, the Volcano erupted. Our family went to the Jagger Museum area to watch. Raining and very few people at that time (4 am). We plan on coming back next year.THANKS LORENA!!!

Charming cabin with lovely grounds

This place is truly magical - feels like true Hawaii! The house was very clean, well supplied, and thoughtfully organized for guests. The yard is amazing, and we really enjoyed using the hot tub after the days exploring Volcano National Park. This location is very close to the park - about a five minute drive. The space heaters in the bedrooms were so nice to have, as the evenings and mornings are quite chilly. We got cold in the living areas and appreciated the extra blankets. Would highly recommend this home for a visit to Volcano!

A very special place

We loved the wood stove the landscaping and the quiet relaxing environment. The house was lovely and well thought out. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean and comfortable. My only negative is the appliances seem over worked and loud and could use an upgrade. I understand the need for cameras but the one facing the back door seemed to take in the hot tub and it felt a bit intrusive. Other than that we loved our short stay. Thank you.

Perfect for our group of 5

Our group, ranging from 5 to 8 has been staying in volcano at various places over the last 10 years. This home has been the most perfect in so many ways. Their attention to detail is unparalleled; little touches that you wouldn’t expect are everywhere, like heated towel bars, heaters in the bedrooms, ice in the freezer, nice dishes and flatware - not cheep seconds, lots of nice glasses and cups. This might sound like it should be usual, but it isn’t. Most people furnished their places with furniture and decor from secondhand shops. It’s not the case in this home. The host was a great communicator and left clear instructions for us that were easy and sensible to follow. If we go back to Volcano, we will definitely stay here again.

Can’t be beat!

My wife and I just spent four nights in this beautiful home. If you are looking to explore Volcano National Park and/or the eastern side of the Big Island, the location is perfect. The home is about 3 miles from the national park entrance and it takes just 10 minutes to drive there. Hilo is a 40 minute drive, and you will want to load up on groceries and gas there if you are planning to spend any length of time in the house. Volcano has very limited grocery options. The house itself is very nicely decorated, spacious, and has beautiful grounds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. The covered deck off the back of the house is huge, well furnished with a large dining table and has a modern gas grill and hot tub. The kitchen is very well equipped and modern. There is no dishwasher, garbage disposal, air conditioning, or central heating. Frankly, we did not need any of those things. Multiple fans and space heaters are provided if needed, as are extra duvets and blankets. The owner was very prompt in replying to emails and offering advice. The housekeeper was also available for any issues that might arise. We would love to stay here again if we come back.

Serene & Magical

My brother stayed in this property a few years ago & when I told him we were going to big island he immediately sent me the link & said that “WE HAD TO STAY HERE”. He said it was the highlight of his trip when he visited. So we booked it! The host was great at communication with us… sent us check in instructions via text at the perfect times so I didn’t have to dig through my emails to find what to do after a long day of traveling & driving. The property itself is serene & magical. I walked outside a few times & explored around the home just by myself to appreciate the beautiful landscaping, soft winds, bright stars & sounds of the birds & frogs. Being someone who’s always lived in the city/suburbs it was such a different experience that I wish I can bottle up & keep with me whenever I needed to feel peace & tranquility. My kids (5 & 7) loved the house too. The sounds of the frogs at night were amazing. We kept the windows open & just enjoyed the sounds. We got to see wild pigs from a distance & the kids loved that too. The house is super close by to the volcano National park. We got to go there twice- once at night and once during the day to do a hike. Only bummer was that when we went the jacuzzi unexpectedly wasn’t working. They quickly sent out a technician to fix it bu it needed a part so we didn’t get to use it during our stay. My brother said it was so nice when he stayed and used the jacuzzi so I was looking forward to that.
