Experience the Serenity of Volcano Forest House Next to Volcano National Park

Welcome to the enchanting Volcano Forest House next to Volcano National Park, a stunning two-level island-style residence nestled in the heart of Hawaii’s only native tropical rainforest. This beautifully appointed home offers you a unique retreat that combines luxury with the tranquility of nature.

You will find the owner, Dr. Stephen Tarek, a recently retired chiropractor, residing quietly in a separate unit upstairs. His presence provides an additional layer of security and assistance for any immediate needs you may have during your stay.

On the ground floor, you’ll discover two private bedrooms furnished with new queen beds adorned with luxurious duvet comforters. The living room features a full-size, comfortable sofa bed, making it ideal for families or small groups. A spacious bathroom equipped with a Jacuzzi tub and shower adds to your relaxation experience. The home boasts stunning wood floors, ceiling fans, and a cozy gas fireplace. You can unleash your inner chef in the generously sized kitchen, which is fully equipped with brand-new Samsung appliances, including a washer and dryer for added convenience.

Step outside to find a serene lotus pond, complemented by two private covered patios (lanai) perfect for lounging. Whether you want to enjoy your morning coffee or catch up on work while overlooking the pond, you'll feel at peace here. With the closest home being 400 feet away through the lush forest, you’ll revel in the unparalleled quietness and tranquility, free from noisy neighbors or distracting roosters.

This unique spot is designed for those seeking a genuine Hawaiian experience, especially for adventurers eager to explore the scenic hiking trails of the Volcano National Park. Please note, this property is ideally suited for guests who appreciate serenity rather than loud gatherings.

Families are welcome, but do keep in mind that there is a fish pond without a fence. The home features upscale furnishings, including real wood floors and pristine white linens. While children and teenagers often bring delightful energy, please be aware that the home contains antiques and artwork that may not withstand excessive roughhousing. For families looking for more robust accommodations, many options are available nearby.

Your visit will not be complete without exploring the “MUST-SEE” attractions of the Big Island. Experience breathtaking hikes in Volcano National Park, marvel at the beauty of Boiling Pots Waterfalls and Akaka Falls, and immerse yourself in the rich culture at the City of Refuge in Kona. Don’t miss a visit to Hilo town, where you can enjoy the local Saturday open market and stroll through the Liliuokalani Japanese Gardens/Coconut Island. Also, take the beautiful drive along highway 250 from Waimea to Hawi, perfect for stunning views and adventures.

The picturesque route from Pahoa to the ocean in Puna, located just 2 miles from Pahoa off highway 130, leads you to the breathtaking Kahena Beach, known for its amazing black sand and natural beauty. Enjoy the scenic drives between Akaka Falls and Hilo, where you can take in the sights of the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden or hike the trail leading to the ocean. Additionally, the drive from Volcano to the Kau desert trail is a must, offering unique Hawaiian warrior footprints embedded in the lava.

For swimming enthusiasts, the areas near Hilo, such as Richardson's Ocean Park and Carlsmith's Beach Park, provide unique snorkeling experiences with turtles. Don't forget to visit the renowned Hapuna Beach for sunbathing and bodysurfing. The “City of Refuge” in Pu'uhonua O Honaunau and Kealakekua Bay are also essential stops during your adventure in Kona.

Please remember that the upstairs area of the home remains private. While the best hikes and walks are found in Volcano National Park, some guests also enjoy walks around the neighborhood—just be sure not to wander beyond the home to respect private property.

Your host is more than happy to provide updated information about Volcano National Park, local hikes, waterfalls, stargazing spots, beaches, restaurants, and shopping options. For detailed suggestions tailored to your itinerary, it's best to call Steve directly at 8087213418, ensuring you maximize your time on this incredible island.

Summary: This a beautiful, very clean apartment on the ground floor. The owner lives upstairs. The house is surrounded by beautiful, lush, green forest/garden. Very peaceful, we saw amazing large birds foraging on the edge of the forest about 20 yards from our patio doors. The apartment is very well supplied with all equipment needed in the kitchen, including a very nice rice cooker, beautiful pots, and dishes. Unusually, the apartment even had some basic supplies, like some spices, some oatmeal, tea, sunscreen, and even basic over the counter medicines and cream for sunburn. This is truly unusual and very helpful. I was greatful for that.The owner is very pleasant and responsive to any questions, without being intrusive - he is there if you contact him, and you don't see him if you don't wish to.
