Experience the Serenity of Lava House in Leilani Estates

Welcome to Lava House, your exquisite getaway nestled in the heart of Leilani Estates. This stunning residence is set on two secluded acres, offering an unparalleled experience of beauty and tranquility. As you navigate the winding driveway, you'll arrive at this private sanctuary that is framed by awe-inspiring lava fields.

Your surroundings are enriched by a vibrant tapestry of native Hawaiian rainforest, blooming flowers, fruitful trees, and the melodic calls of tropical birds. Most notably, you’ll have a breathtaking view of Fissure 8, the site of a significant volcanic event from the 2018 eruption, which features geothermal heated pockets beneath the earth's surface.

It’s remarkable how our house has withstood nature’s forces, standing just 100 feet away from the dramatic landscape reshaped by the lava flow. You'll find yourself just steps away from the closest dwelling to Fissure 8. Awaken each morning to the sight of the still-warm lava field and enjoy spectacular sunrises that paint the sky in vibrant hues.

Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of nature as you listen to the rustling leaves and the songs of tropical birds during the day, transitioning to the serenade of coqui frogs as night falls. Witness breathtaking alpenglow at sunset, where clouds appear to almost touch Fissure 8, followed by the stunning expanse of the night sky filled with stars.

Allow yourself to unwind on our covered patio with a glass of wine or your favorite beverage as you soak in the peaceful ambiance, setting the perfect tone for your retreat. This romantic haven truly embodies the essence of paradise.

While you will enjoy complete privacy, rest assured that a caretaker is available on-site to assist should you need anything during your stay. Venture out to explore local attractions such as Rainbow Falls, the unique landscapes of Lava Tree State Monument, or gather fresh local produce at the Kalapana Farmer's Market. Historic Pahoa town, with its shops and restaurants, is conveniently located just 10 minutes away.

Additionally, don’t miss the memorial statue of Father Damien near the local Roman Catholic Church, commemorating his dedication in establishing the first churches here back in 1865 while he lived on the Big Island for nine transformative years.

Your unforgettable escape at Lava House awaits—paradise is just a booking away!

Summary: We loved this place: Diana, who manages the property for the owners, was very friendly, helpful and responsive to all our questions and needs. The property itself gave us a front-row seat to the awesome forces that are still forming the island of Hawaii: It's adjacent to an area devastated by a 2018 volcanic eruption. It's a great location to explore anywhere on the eastern side of the Big Island, from nearby Kalapana and the Red Road, to Hilo, all the way up to Waipio. The house, which is off the grid and is solar- and battery-powered, has every modern convenience. We hope to stay here again.
