Lava House

Clean and beautiful property. Property manager and owner communication was great. Family enjoyed the amenities and rested after being active all day near Hilo. Thank you and Happy New Year.

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.

Overall a pleasant, memorable stay at a very unique location. The check-in process was smooth, with the manager meeting us at the house upon arrival. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Every room was decorated with a special touch and had a beautiful view of the surrounding nature.

This property is a true winner. They have thought of everything. Excellent communication lovely accomodation. Hope we are fortunate enough to return in the future. Great Vibe!

We had a wonderful time staying over New Years and Mother Earth provided all the energy and ambiance that we needed. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need to relax, drink and prepare food. The contrast of the Fissure 8 lava flow to the lush replanted tropical garden is amazing. The house is off grid but everything ran seamlessly. There are some limitations on where a person can wander on the newly created lava but I think those are probably wise safety issues. We also enjoyed the artsy small town, local feel of Pāhoa and really recommend the Saturday market on the coast at Kalapana. The produce was excellent and very well priced. Checkin was easy and well communicated. Overall a truly unique and memorable experience.

What a special place. We had a lovely stay in the jungle right in the edge of the majestic fissure 8. It was truly magical, a very memorable and lovely experience for our family. I wish we had stayed longer.

We didn't realize just how special this place was until we stayed here and understood how devastated this area was. It was an honor to be able to be in a place that was spared from complete destruction. Our only regret is that we didn't just spend more time sitting at the house and enjoying everything.
