Lazy Lehua Cottage

The cottage was actually better than expected! Great location right near the park entrance and in a secluded and beautiful jungle neighborhood. The cottage was super clean and very well stocked. There were lots of small details that made it feel very welcoming and very well cared for. Our family of 4 was very comfortable there. Would very happily stay again!

Lazy Lehua Cottage was perfect for our family of four! The place is immaculate and tidy, but also warm and inviting. We wished we could have stayed here for weeks. The covered porches were very relaxing to have a cup of coffee or breakfast. The girls enjoyed the bunk beds, and the upstairs bed was very comfortable. No air conditioning, but it was unnecessary, with cool nights and ceiling fans, the temp was always quite comfortable. Would recommend 100% and will hopefully be able to book again in the future!

We had such a lovely stay at Lazy Lehua. Someone in the guest book wrote that if the seven dwarfs cottage and the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse had a baby, Lazy Lehua would be it! Everything about the place is charming, well appointed, cozy, and perfect. We intended to stay near Volcano National Park and the location was perfect for that. I was celebrating my 65th birthday and the lovely extras provided for that went above and beyond. Thank you Jintana and Rebecca.

We were very pleased with our accommodations! Very roomy, clean and loved the full kitchen. Will definitely stay here again!

Lazy Lehua is about as wonderful as a cottage can be. While technically just one (very large upstairs master) bedroom, it is incredibly open and spacious, featuring three(!) spacious lanais, a breakfast bar, a nice living room area and downstairs bunk beds large and comfortable enough for most adults. The upstairs jacuzzi bath is a highlight too, and the downstairs tiled shower is spacious and accessible. We cook a lot when we stay in Volcano and the kitchen was very functional with all the appliances, utensils and gadgets we needed. There is gorgeous local woods everywhere: benches, counters, exteriors, tables... this is a classic volcano house in every respect. The managers checked up on us regularly as Kīlauea erupted and during the Kona low that followed. And given Volcano IS rainy, a bit remote and cool at night, you will love the little gas fireplaces on each level to perfectly take off the chill and add to the Volcano vibe. Furnishings are clean and well matched to the house; bed was VERY comfy and soft; on-site laundry new, clean and easy to use. And lastly, THIS is the sort of yard a Volcano house should have: a solid mass of ohi'a trees, tree ferns and lovely plantings in all directions. We will stay again! The high rating is well deserved, though we do have two suggestions: a combination lock cabinet with emergency supplies (LED lanterns, flashlight, water, ponchos etc.) and perhaps a small grill or electric grill. Still, a perfect rating!

This place is spotless and comfortable. The location is incredible. We were busy and it was raining daily but I can imagine a day just relaxing, smelling the air and listening to the birds.

Clean, beautiful and so close to the National Park!

Wonderful cottage. Had everything one might need.

What a delight to wake up the first morning and look out the windows! We had arrived after dark and had only a vague impression of the surrounding rain forest! Magnificent only partially describes the place. Our hostess, responded immediately to any notes we sent, even though she was on vacation herself. The housekeeper, Rebecca, was amazing in assuring we were fully informed about local activities..

We loved our stay! We were so grateful for the stocked kitchen - coffee filters, olive oil, ziploc bags! - and for the extra touches and gestures of hospitality from the hosts. The covered porches were wonderful retreats after a day of exploring, and we loved that we were close enough to the national park to come home for meals, since food options were limited in the area. Beautiful home and garden, ideal stay - my kids said the best we've ever stayed in!

The place was very charming throughout and well equipped. Spacious layout for family of four. Very private and beautiful property.

Beautiful house with all the amenities, especially a great kitchen and bed room. Close to town of Volcano and the National Park. Beautiful secluded yard surround the house.

Host and accommodations were amazing. Just as described in listing.

Such a beautiful home in the forest. Very private and well stocked with amenities. Volcanoes National Park is a great place to explore!

Lazy Lehuna Cottage is exactly as I pictured it, but has even more than we expected! The entire cabin is exactly as advertised, each room inviting and cozy. We spent most of our time on the front lanai, we ate at the table outside and enjoyed our coffee in the cozy front rocker and my favorite spot the hammock chair. I got up early just to sit and listen to the birds. The back lanai was a beautiful spot too! It has gorgeous wood carved furniture creating another cozy spot to sit and enjoy the views of the rainforest.We opened the windows in the master bedroom and it felt like we were sleeping in a treehouse! Slept so peacefully to the sounds of the rainforest. We loved the extras they included… snack bars, & chocolates. The kitchen was fully stocked even with coffee, filters, creamer and sugar. I loved that they had a first aid kit and other bathroom essentials. They thought of everything to make our stay perfect! They even left us current details about the volcano eruption which was super helpful making our trip to Volcano National Park easy.During our short stay we visited the park several times, and since it’s so close we headed up once at night so we could see the eruption in the dark. Unforgettable experience! We also visited the botanical gardens in Hilo, visited Akaka falls, Punaluʻu Black Sand Besch, South Point and the Volcano Farmers market. Lazy Lehuna Cottage is the perfect spot to stay when exploring the Big Island. We highly recommend!

Lehua looked great in the add and was far better in person. We loved our stay-and seriously considered asking if we could stay longer. “LLC” had everything we needed and more-we were able to cook all our meals in a delightfully comfortable setting. Coqui frogs, though invasive, were a lovely treat to fall asleep to at night. We were unbelievably close to Volcanoes NP, for the fountaining lava and close enough to summit Mauna Kea! We are deeply grateful to our hosts thoughtful outfitting of Lehua. The highlight of our vacation!

The house was well equipped and the perfect size.

This was our second time staying at the Lazy Lahua for a reason. We loved it the first time and had to come again. Not disappointed!

Clearly the owner put a lot of thought into equipping this for travelers. The coffee station, especially, wowed my husband and was the best we've ever seen in a rental. The tub worked great. It was very clean, with no bugs seen (unusual for a HI rental—the place we stayed after this had Gregor Samsa for a roommate), and that's a testiment to how well it's kept. There's every cooking implement you could ever want, but if you plan to do much cooking, pick up some cooking spray/oil and favorite spices in outer Hilo on the way there. (Pro tip: the Sack N' Save and Foodland will give you the lower locals price if you only give them your phone number.)If you're there on Thursday afternoon, don't miss the Volcano Village market from 3-6pm—crafts, fresh vegetables, and ready-made food like pizza and tamales. Much thanks to site manager Rebecca for alerting us that the volcano had just started erupting on the morning of our departure. She didn't have to do that, but it really made our week.

A lovely spot nestled deep in the forest with just enough fun quirky touches (granted wood railings on the lanais!) to make it special.

We loved the feel of being in a rain forest. Very quiet location. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. We loved that it is located close to the park and we were rewarded with morning, afternoon and night views of eruptions - easy to go and come back later.Thank you for offering your cottage for rental.

Central location to most points of interest. House is visually entertaining.

This was a beautiful, magical place to stay. It has a good selection of kitchen stuff right where you’d expect, some games and beach equipment for the kids, and a small but quality selection of books and dvds. The location is as advertised, near volcano park but also out in the jungle. Bring food though: the prices and selection in town are not optimal. Overall, it’s easily one of the best plates I’ve ever stayed.

It was a wonderful place to stay and the national park was so close. We sometimes just drove there to see if the volcano was doing something different, just a few mile away. How easy.

The property was in a great quiet and beautiful location. House was perfect. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfectly cozy cottage with all the amnesties in a tropical paradise!

in this lovely rainforest college, you wake to so much birdsong, it’s like being in an aviary. perfect for Volcanoes Park, 2 nice local rests, essy drive to Hilo. Stay here!!

The Lazy Lehua Cottage is a special place in a beautiful and calm neighborhood that is well taken care of. Many little details show that the owners care about their guests and don't just see them as paying customers. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't want to go on day excursions!

Stayed during Christmas break. Great place, very cozy! The gas fire places throw just enough heat for the chilly winter nights. The kids really liked the bunk beds under the stairs, and the jacuzzi tub. The host left bath bombs and snacks for them. I liked drinking coffee in the hammock chairs in the morning.

We had a great and relaxing time.

This place was super comfy and convenient to the National park. We loved staying here and didn't want to leave.
