Hale Ma‘ukele is a large, well decorated home located near the heart of Volcano Village and 1 mile from Volcano National Park. It has 2.5 baths, 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, a large living area, and a 4 person hot tub. We have a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, hot tub, a nice back yard, and a back deck with a gas grill. The house is set in the native forest with giant Hapu‘u ferns, ‘o‘hia trees, and native birds all around.

My wife and I moved here in 2006 with our kids, designed and built this house with other family. For the nest year we worked on the landscaping, and decorated it with local art and photography. The house has its own solar energy and filtered, drinkable catchment water.

The house has a open floor plan downstairs and lots of windows to look out on the rainforest. It is a good layout for large groups or families as it facilitates connection, but also has private feeling bedrooms upstairs that have some separation from each other. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and there is another full bathroom upstairs for the other two bedrooms. We have a laundry room with a washer and dryer, a smart TV with high speed wifi.

The back deck gets sun and is a great place to drink coffee, eat, relax and grill. The hot tub is set in a private corner of the property in the rainforest and is a great place to unwind after a day of activity at Volcanoes National Park or somewhere else.

We are a 5 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park and a 2 minute drive to Volcano Village. Volcano is a cute little town with a few restaurants, general stores, a community center, playground, and a nice farmers market on Sundays.

Volcano is at 3500 feet in a high elevation tropical rainforest, so it is never too hot. It can be chilly and damp depending on the weather, so it is nice to have the mini split heater.

    This property is tucked away in a tropical paradise. If you are looking for relaxation and peace, this is for you. Beautiful views of the green foliage all around the property and a secluded outdoor hot tub. Enjoy your coffee or tea and listen to the birds! Very close to the National Park, and about 18 miles to the grocery store. Only complaint was the house next door had occasional noisy renters easily heard through bedroom window at night, otherwise I would highly recommend this lovely home!

Beautiful home with a tranquil backyard, felt like a rain forest vibe. Felt great relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking. Would absolutely recommend as a perfect stay for someone visiting the national park.

    We stayed for 3 days and found the house to be well stocked, well cared for and well thought out. We lost power for over a day and found the house batteries kept the lights on and the hot tub heated. The host identified an issue with the hot water before we ever arrived and he quickly dealt with it providing no major trouble to us. Location was perfect for access to the park and it kept us dry with 7” of rain in a 24 hour period.

    Everything was fantastic. The house itself is very spacious and cozy. The hot tub area was the most magical part of the property surrounded by trees and fern. My only concern was the stock of household items like trash bags, dish soap, towels. Etc. and there was some wet pots in the drawers/coffee grounds still in the coffee machine. But for the most part everything was very clean and tidy. The neighborhood also feels very safe and check in was very easy with the door code. Thank you again for hosting.

    The outside of the property looked beautiful, but the interior was disappointing! The pictures do not match what the inside of the house currently looks like. The inside was tired and unclean. There were hairs in the bed sheets, some of the bed sheets were ripped, dust was covering the furniture, the interior smelled musty, and most importantly the upstairs toilets did not flush making the bathrooms smell gross. We contacted the property manager about this problem. We could see that he read the text, but he never responded.

    A review is only as good as if I am candid. We brought our whole family here to experience the Volcano area. This was our second time staying here. The first time was in 2016. We had a great time, but I will say that the place felt a little tired. The elements of Volcano are hard on the houses, I am sure. We only used the hot tub once. We washed some bedding before use due to it feeling not clean. The host assured me it was, but my eyes said different. My suggestion would be to update the bedding and towels as they are very worn. Also, the sofa could use a good cleaning. The bones of the house are simply beautiful. It just needs a bit of love. Overall, it was a nice start to our vacation. Make sure you bring everything you need food wise with you. I would recommend this house to rent for sure. I am sure the host wants it top notch!.

    Great location close to the village and national park, with lush and lovely landscaping and classic Volcano Ohia and fern forest all around. The home itself is very spacious and comfortable, with huge windows all around to enjoy the cool morning (or evening) air and birdsong. The kitchen has everything we needed and the hidden hot tub was certainly a favorite. Comfy beds! Some minor appliance issues but owner Adam was responsive, communicated well and gave prompt assistance. We would certainly stay again!

    The house is in a super quiet and private neighborhood very close to Volcano village and the Volcano National park (but too far to walk to them). Jungle all around it, you can only see a little bit of one other place. The home is very environmentally friendly, it’s got solar electricity and uses processed rain water for the water supply. The kitchen, dining, living areas and covered porch and half bath are all on the main floor. Three bedrooms and two full baths are upstairs (one bath is in the master bedroom, the other is in the hall). Heating was via a single central mini split unit so we had to leave doors open to ensure the furthest rooms got warmed up (Volcano can get a bit chilly at night). It was clean and the owner was responsive to messages. But it was a bit under equipped compared to similar places we’ve stayed and some things needed replacing; sheets in both beds we used had holes and tears, there’s only a dustpan and brush but no broom or vacuum, and a couple other minor things of that nature. But overall we had a great stay, had lots of space, and it’s a good location.

    I'm hard-pressed to think of anything negative about this property. We were in town for the Hawaii Bird Conservation Marathon, which started at the Volcano golf course, so we needed a place nearby. This VRBO was only a couple miles from the start line, so a great location. The village of Volcano is very small, but we found a good restaurant and a general store next door with a surprisingly great drink selection. As other reviewers have noted, the house is somewhat near others but you get a total sense of seclusion when staying here since it is tucked in among the trees. We only heard other people twice in three days. The house itself is beautiful, with hardwood floors and nice updated kitchen and baths. There's a great TV in case you want to watch television in paradise. The furnishings and bedding are comfortable. Everyone loved the hot tub in the backyard! There's plenty of space in the house, with two full baths and a half-bath, three bedrooms, a formal dining room, and a nice deck. It's rain forest, but I saw fewer bugs than I see in my own house in the US Midwest. It's a water-catchment system, but totally potable, plus fine for showering and washing clothes. Even if I didn't need a place near the start of the marathon, I would still stay at this location, as it was beautiful. Bigger and better than the place where we stayed in Kona, for less money. Check-in was extremely easy. No need for conversations with the host. A perfect stay!

    There were no screens on the windows (and no ac); therefore we could not open the windows due to insects, so it was too warm at night to sleep. The master suite was nice, but the other bedrooms were insufficiently furnished (barely a bedside table and nowhere to put clothes) The washing machine had mold, so we didn't use it. One bathroom had blue tape all around the window and was jerry-rigged with a piece of wood (and did not open) There were insufficient towels (very much so). There were far fewer utensils, pots, etc than I am accustomed to in other VRBO. It was filthy under the living room couch cushion. Kind of annoying to see a lot of signs about don't do this or that when in fact the place was inadequate.

    Convenient and beautiful home! The house is only 2 miles from Volcanoes Park entrance, which made for a short trip to the rental after spending a long day at the park. We love the community. Each house is secluded within trees & ferns, like you're in your own private jungle. We were on Maui for a week, and walking into this home was the first time I heard my 13 & 15 yr old grandkids say WOW. The house was beautiful. We loved the hand-crafted support posts, the floors, the back deck, the vaulted ceilings, and that it had 3 bedrooms was perfect for our family of 4 adults & 2 kids. The bed and pilllows were comfy. The master BR has a private bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms shared a hall bath ( all upstairs).The couch was comfy, for the short time we were there. I can find nothing negative to say. The owner was quick to respond to emails, and helpful at providing info on local recommendations. We ate at Lava Rock Cafe for dinner and it was excellent ( burger and fries were about $20-$23/pp). Would DEF stay again if we come back!
