Super close to Kīlauea visitor center and amazing house to sleep at. Loved that we could just show up with our family and have just about everything provided. We bought some food to cook for breakfast and was able to cook for ourselves.

Great spot!
This was the perfect place to stay as we waited for Pele to make her appearance on Kilauea. It's an easy 10 minute drive to the national park, and Hilo town is less than 45 minutes away. The house is cozy and comfortable, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of thoughtful amenities and charm.

Fantastic stay!
Loved our time at the Jungalow. So close to the park!! Easy to “pop” in… we were fortunate enough to see some actual lava flow/fountaining! We also were blessed with a clear night… seeing the stars from the park is truly incredible. Really appreciated the fireplace and the heaters as it was definitely much cooler than the Kona side. Spent some time on the porch watching the chickens… so fun to watch them interact!

Volcano!
We started out by staying on the Kona side. We also knew that to go to the National Park would require more time, so we booked one night with you. It truly was not enough time. Your online listing does not do you justice. All 5 of us wanted more time in the Jungalow! Everything was perfect! Cozy, charming, peaceful and everything we needed to unwind. We will plan accordingly the next time we come. Thank you.

Great area! Very different
Very very conveniently located! It's about ten minutes from Volcanoes National Park, and not too far from other areas of interest as well. We visited from Kona so the difference in climate was extremely refreshing. Love the consideration placed in the small things too, like heated blankets and individual space heaters. It does get a little chilly in the evening at that altitude but I love the cooler nights. Thanks for the opportunity to stay!

Charming home in a great location
We only stayed 2 nights but I wish we had booked 4 nights. The home was spotless and had absolutely everything we needed. All three beds were so comfortable (a little softer than we are use to, but so cozy). The home is decorated with so much thought, and was a wonderful place to spend time, with plenty of space for 4 adults. The location is perfect if you want easy access to the national park, which is about a 5 minute drive. Some small restaurants and shops in the small town. When we wanted more options, we drove the 40 minutes into Hilo which was an easy drive. The roads are excellent and there is so much to do in and around Hilo. We spent each morning sitting on the front lanai watching the chickens and chicks wander around the yard. There is a full coffee station stocked with coffee, tea, cocoa and everything you need which was a nice touch. Laundry with plenty of soap, plenty of towels and we loved all the blankets in each room. Thank you! Would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful property.
We spent 5 nights and were happy to have three bedrooms. The Jungalow is even nicer in person than in the online pictures. Great kitchen and living area. Great location so close to national park. I did find the Q bed too soft for my taste but one double was firm enough for me.

Cutest place to stay in Volcano!
This place was so adorable. We are a family of 6 and it fit us perfectly. We loved the style and feel of the place. The house was exactly as described and stocked with everything you needed for your stay. Check in and check out was easy - my favorite part is that we didn’t have to strip our beds! The fireplace was a warm way to spend the slightly chilly mornings. Highly recommend this place! It was minutes from Hawaii Volcanos National Park.

Super cute place
Location was awesome, we only were there 1 night. Would stay there again, especially if we were there longer. Nice selection of movies. Nice layout. Only negative was, I may not have read description correctly, 2 double beds and one larger. Beds were soft. Ceiling fan was out of balance and was noisy. Heater and fans were supplied. Coffee selection was awesome.

Love the Jungle
Staying in this jungle oasis, it's hard to imagine how close you are to an active volcano and all the destruction and lava flows there. The house is even prettier than in the pictures, and the landscaping which seems completely natural is gorgeous.The beds are very comfortable with soft, warm comforters for the chilly nights at that elevation. Wifi was excellent and living and dining rooms were quite comfortable.Our host was wonderful with excellent communication before our arrival and she left several notes and information about the area that made us feel right at home. The small village of Volcano has the basics and the people are welcoming. If you like Thai food, you must go to the Tuk Tuk Food truck at the Volcano golf course. Servings are large and her food is the best. We really enjoyed staying at a place that was very much tropical "old" Hawaii and hope to return in the future.

Really great except for mattresses
This property is awesome. Cleanliness is great. The kitchen is very well equipped with two coffee options (Keurig and a French press), and air fryer, and multiple utensils, dishes, etc. The grounds are beautiful. The location is awesome--six minutes driving time to the visitor center. However, for such a level of property (and the price), the mattresses really need to be switched out. They are so soft that they form around your body, and you cave in. Otherwise, the property is flawless--well equipped and really cute decor.

About the host

Hosted by Mira Alexander

Host profile image
My husband and I are born and bred Midwesterners. We both have backgrounds in architecture and design as well as a shared love of nature, art, and travel. We recently inherited the Jungalow, a family home which has been in the family since 2014. We hope you enjoy your stay and all the beauty Volcano has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love the natural setting that surrounds the Jungalow as well as the interior features such as high ceilings clad in wood, an open floor plan and the cozy gas fireplace. Both the interior and exterior of the Jungalow have been lovingly restored over the past year. The home's proximity to Volcanoes National Park and attractions surrounding Hilo make the Jungalow a perfect home base for exploring the area. We enjoy hearing what drew other neighbors to the area and love the relaxed way of life the area offers.

What makes this property unique

I feel the attention to detail sets the Jungalow apart from other homes in the area. From the carefully chosen artwork to the fresh orchids, every detail of the Junglaow was carefully planned and thought out.
