B&B: Royal Orchid Suite mins from Volcanoes National Park

We had a lovely stay at the Lava Pond Lodge BNB. Rebecca did an amazing job getting us a delicious breakfast both mornings. The jacuzzi was very enjoyable, even in the rain. Would highly recommend, but suggest booking through them directly. It was very confusing booking through Expedia. It somehow was listed as VRBO for payment and I think the price would be better directly through Lava Pond Lodge!

We loved this Bnb in Volcano. The host had great communication, left thoughtful touches like snacks, water, umbrellas, torches for night viewing the Volcano lava. The highlight of our stay was the breakfasts - they were so generous! Delicious fruits, yoghurt, muffins, bagels, cooked breakfast. Our chats with Rhonda were wonderful - she made us feel like family. She learnt from us, and we learnt from her. She gave us tips where to go each day. This was by far our best BnB experience we've had, and highly recommend it to others. Location was also great - only 5 mins from Volcanoes National Park. We'll be back here some day ... it was a real highlight for us.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. Including a microwave and refrigerator. The breakfast was a nice addition and added great value.

The B&B was perfect for our stay near the VNP. The breakfast was wonderful & allowed us to start our day early in the park. Also, provided were snacks & water that were a nice option as well. The bed was very comfy.

The host personally welcomed us

Amazing host. Felt like we were staying with family. Beautiful breakfast every morning and great conversations and tips from Rhonda. Snacks were always stocked and even surprise cookies at night. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to family!

We enjoyed our stay in Volcano. Sarah and Rhonda were lovely hosts. The location was very convenient to the park.

Sarah is a wonderful host! The place is just beautiful and relaxing!

Room clean. Host very pleasant.

The cottage felt like home! When I walked in and saw the fireplace, high ceilings, lit up Christmas tree, wooden floors, I instantly felt warm and secure! I was traveling alone on the Big Island and was a bit nervous but this home truly made me feel calm and serene! My room (the Orchid room, with King size bed) was truly heavenly! The heated bed was so comfortable! The bathroom was beautiful. Everything was perfect. The innkeeper made my everything even better! She was kind, loving, friendly, and went above and beyond. The breakfasts every morning were my favorite part! It truly felt like my home. I didn’t want to leave. The hot tub was amazing and perfectly hot. The only downside was that the bathroom tub took a very long time to fill with hot water as the water kept coming out cold and I’d have to turn it off and wait a couple minutes. I had to turn it off and wait for a total of 5 times or more I think. That was a bummer because I booked the room for the bathtub. But overall I would definitely come back here!!!

Great location and very friendly

Everything was great except the weather which was no fault of theirs. Great breakfast, great lodging, very comfy stay.

Comfortable, close to Volcano National Park very convenient. Rhonda was a wonderful hostess!

We had a wonderful stay with Rhonda hosting us. Breakfast every morning was a joy along with the company. We loved falling asleep each night to the sounds of the frogs outside.

It was a unique experience in the middle of a rain forest no

We loved our bed and breakfast stay in Volcano. It was a great location for a quick five minute drive into the park and located in between Hilo and South Point.The room was comfortable. The breakfasts were yummy. Everything was very clean. We loved that flashlights were provided to make it easier to explore the park after dark.The property was full of beautiful plants and in a very quiet neighborhood that was great to take walks through to see all of their wonderful plants.We highly recommend this to stay at!

Bed and Breakfast large home in a lush tropical setting. Sarah had everything to accommodate, including delicious breakfast choices. The neighborhood is just ten minutes from Volcano National Park. Perfect for exploring the park then resting in a cozy environment. The hot tub is nice. So many details, including welcome cookies.

We enjoyed our stay here at Volcano. The B&B was secluded but near enough to get to Volcano National Park within minutes. Rhonda was a great host, very friendly and shared about all the places to see with comments and reviews on what to do. The breakfast was very good and more than we expected- egg omelette, pastries, toast, muffins. She even had decaf coffee and “Hawaian fruit butters. If we go back to the Big Island we would stay here again.

Charming place in an excellent location. Was served a wonderful breakfast every morning and chatted like I was back at home. Room had a fireplace, a jacuzzi tub, and a bed warmer! So cozy! Also had a refrigerator and microwave to store and eat a quick lunch one day. Easy to come and go, especially from Volcanoes National Park. Absolutely LOVED my stay. Want to come back with the whole family!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Royal Orchid Suite. It had everything you need. It was more spacious than expected. The breakfast was delightful with other guests and our host was especially nice with good conversations. We learned to love papaya.

What a fantastic stay. Our suite was very comfortable. They add nice little touches like cookies and snacks always available. The breakfast each morning was delicious. I would highly recommend this place and plan on coming back. It’s a great location to check out the southern part of the island, Hilo, and volcano NP.

Our trip to the Big Island was to visit family and celebrate my mom’s 91’st bday. The B&B was perfect for us which was approximately 3 miles from my mom’s house in Volcano. The accomdations,amenities, were excellent as well as the breakfast that Sarah and Rhonda provided. Gracious host. We will definitely stay here again

This VRBO is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Rhonda was our contact and made us feel so welcome. She also talked with us about the surrounding area and helped us plan our day. I definitely recommend this location!

Sarah and Rhonda were phenomenal! Breakfast was filling and delicious. Their house was beautiful and very comfortable. After hiking all day at Volcano National Park, we thoroughly enjoyed the whirlpool!

We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Had to pinch myself to believe this place was real!! Beautiful property!! We felt relaxed and so welcomed. Sarah and her mother-in-law (Rhonda) are the most amazing hosts. Hubby and I stayed in the Royal Orchid Suite. The king bed was very comfortable. Even had dual warmers if you were feeling cold. The bathroom was huge with a jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was delicious. We made breakfast sandwiches one morning and omelettes the next morning. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. This home is situated in the rainforest. It was so quiet and peaceful sitting outside. Definitely more of a couples retreat. Sarah was excellent in communicating information with us. She offered suggestions and gave us advice. The Volcano National Park is only 3 miles away. Close location makes it easy to go in and out of the park without spending hours driving. You will feel like royalty here!!!

Great place near Volcano! The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was a special treat with the papaya, Apple bananas and yogurt and the pastries and egg dish. We were super close to the park for seeing the eruption and doing some great hikes! Rhonda was a delight, very informative and helpful and made a nice breakfast. Sure was good at communicating. We loved our stay.

Loved the location and the house is a really fun set up. The hostesses were really fun to have breakfast with. Very friendly.

Our hosts Sarah and Rhonda were wonderful, the property is beautiful, well-maintained and very welcoming. Parking was never a problem. Every morning, they had a great breakfast consisting of a tropical fruit medley, a nice selection of breakfast breads and a featured hot dish to start your day. In addition to the refrigerator in our room, was a central refrigerator with water, juice and ice that was also big enough to store any leftovers that might not fit in our room refrigerator. There was always a basket filled with bags of chips and packaged cookies in addition to a plate of big, soft cookies. Our room was spacious, had a fireplace that warmed the room at night when it got chilly outside, and a nice little outdoor area to sit and enjoy the backyard which was full of beautiful tropical growth. The bathroom was spacious as well and was stocked with all of the necessary soaps, shampoos, etc. At night you could hear the tree frogs chirping. The only issue was with the hot tub in the bathroom, which was a major reason for booking this particular room. As it was later explained to us, the hot water came from a different source separate from the sink and shower, so in order to fill up the hot tub, you had to run the water, wait for it to get hot - which it did for a short period - turn it off, wait, and then repeat the process over and over. This was very time-consuming and resulted in cool water at best, and also the hot tub jets wouldn't work. This was a big disappointment.
