Discover Your MAGICAL & COZY GEM! BIRDS, HUGE FERNS ABOUND IN NATIVE RAINFOREST. SO QUIET.

This unique vacation rental invites you to unwind in serene comfort, nestled in the heart of Volcano Village. We prioritize your health and require all guests to be vaccinated and boosted, except for small children; your honesty is appreciated during this crucial time. Mahalo!

If you're flying into Kona Airport, please note it's over 90 miles to your cozy haven in Volcano, so planning an early arrival is ideal. Alternatively, the Hilo Airport is just 30 easy miles away, providing a convenient route to relaxation.

Your journey begins with a private entrance that leads you to the inviting Serenity Suite. Guests rave about its warmth and charm, claiming it’s the coziest spot they've ever stayed in. On your first morning, enjoy a complimentary breakfast as part of your experience.

Set on half an acre of meticulously landscaped native forest, this property offers tranquility and privacy like no other. Discover the beauty of your surroundings as you relax between two hammocks—one swaying beneath the majestic Lehua Ohia trees and Hapu'u ferns, and the other on your own covered porch.

For your convenience, a gas grill and grilling tools await you in the suite. Unlike many rentals in Volcano, our charming location is not within a subdivision, but rather situated on a peaceful road just moments away from fine dining and the magnificent Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of native bird songs while savoring the serenity of your surroundings. This suite features a cozy gas fireplace, an extensive lending library curated by Sally, and two comfortable beds within its spacious layout of over 700 square feet. The second bed—a double—provides a perfect sleeping arrangement for a child or a third guest, though may not be ideal for two adults.

This delightful retreat accommodates families or couples seeking a romantic getaway. Extra sleeping arrangements include a single futon, ensuring ample comfort. Warm "hapi" coats and soft socks are provided for your enjoyment, making this your happy place.

Your first morning will greet you with a generous locally sourced breakfast stocked in the fridge upon your arrival (note: vegetarian options available, but not vegan). Our delicious local water means there's no need for bottled water during your stay. Enjoy freshly ground coffee, assorted teas, local juices, hot chocolate, and popcorn—all complimentary.

Convenience is at your fingertips with stores and restaurants just three minutes away and the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park only five minutes from your doorstep. Explore the lovely neighborhood on foot—don’t forget your walking shoes.

Rest assured that we are a fully legal and registered vacation rental with the State of Hawaii, distinguishing us from others that may not comply. Meet your hosts, Sally and Jeffrey Mermel, who have cherished their home for 45 years. Celebrating her 54th year in Hawaii, Sally's garden has recently been featured by The Volcano Foundation, showcasing the beauty of Volcano.

Known as 'Hawaii’s Big Island', this destination is steeped in history and culture—it’s believed to be where Polynesian voyagers first landed over 1,500 years ago. The island remains a pivotal part of Hawaiian heritage, being the birthplace of King Kamehameha I and home to the goddess Pele. Immerse yourself in the tranquility that Mark Twain once described as 'the peacefulest, restfulest, balmiest, dreamiest haven of refuge.'

Summary: Welcoming hosts. Provided a continental breakfast on first day. Spacious, clean, and cozy. Had some nice outdoor spaces. It is in a rainforest so feels private and unique. Jeffrey told about some good hikes and local restaurants. Very close to the park.
