SEEN on HGTV- 2024 YOUR YEAR to EXPLORE- Aloha Sweet Hale-HOT TUB-Peaceful


Come stay at ALOHA SWEET HALE- Distinctively the Best in Volcano Village. Experience the beauty of the Volcano Village rainforest as well as all the comforts of home.

Don’t miss your chance of a lifetime to see one of the more active and friendly volcanoes in the world. Aloha Sweet Hale is a mere 5 minutes away from Volcanoes National Park. A custom cedar log home completed in 2013, with manicured lush surroundings -hapu’u ferns over 15 feet high reaching up to the sky, fragrant kalihi ginger and an abundance of hydrangeas of various colors throughout the yard.

Our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home offers all of the comforts of home and then some. Beds have flannel sheet to keep you warm on cool Volcano nights; a towel warmer in both bathrooms has your towel ready for a warm hug; skylights in each room lets in the morning sun to get you ready for your day of adventure and the moonlight and starlight at night for a view not visible in the city. The fully equipped kitchen lets you dine in or you can BBQ on the lanai, if you choose. Snuggle up with that someone special by the wood burning fireplace.

The covered lanai extends across the entire back of the home. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy your meals outdoors and the beauty of your surroundings. The relaxing hot tub on the covered lanai welcomes you after a busy day of adventure.

Come stay in a truly Hawaiian setting and let the Spirit of Aloha touch your soul.

We have a 2 night minimum stay so you may enjoy your vacation at this lovely home and Volcano Village!

Since we are in a rural secluded location, we have 3 outdoor security cameras .Two in the front: one to monitor the parking area and the other to monitor the front door. The one on the back lanai is to monitor the French doors and back door entrances. The cameras are not monitor during our guest's stays. We respect our guest's privacy.

Your stay at ALOHA SWEET HALE will be 'DISTINCTIVELY the BEST in VOLCANO '.

Wonderful home base for visiting Volcanoes National Park

This was an ideal spot for two couples who wanted to explore the park (and stay on alert for the eruption, which we did see!) but have a very comfortable home to return to, just minutes from the park. We made good use of the wood stove, the hot tub and the well stocked kitchen. Lorena is a very attentive and responsive host. We had a little mix up about the lock box code, but she answered her cell phone immediately and talked us through it. Would definitely recommend.

Patterson Family Review

This property was so peaceful. We enjoyed hearing the birds and sitting in the jacuzzi at night. The home was immaculate and beautiful. The beds were so comfy and we will stay here again in the future. If you need a relaxing place to unwind near Volcanic National Park and Hilo, this place is for you!

Kīlauea Eruption

This is an amazing property six minutes from the park entrance. We spent the whole day exploring the park. After a relaxing dinner and soak in the hot tub to soothe some sore muscles I was just about to call it a night. I just couldn’t get enough of the stars on the night sky. I headed out for one last look and the sky was glowing red. ten minutes later we were back in the park watching an amazing eruption. It was amazing.

Peaceful, cozy retreat

We absolutely loved every bit of our four night stay! Communication with Lorena was easy - and she was so kind and helpful. The property is beautiful - just as pictured.

Communication with Lorena was easy - and she was so kind and helpful. The property is beautiful - just as pictured. Our family prefers to prepare our own dinners when possible, and the kitchen was so well appointed - it had everything we could need and more - even a wok, which we were happy to use. The rooms are all nice and beds are comfy. The best part was being able to return to this lovely home after a long daybout hiking (some of that in the rain), and be able to soak in the hot tub, then cozy by the woid burning stove (and drybout our wet hiking stuff). We would LOVE to return- thank you again, Lorena!own dinners the kitchen was so well

Aloha Sweet Hale is quiet and located in a natural setting.This home is clean, very comfortable and well organized. Lorena has thought of everything that you would need during your stay. For the chilly mornings at breakfast, we would use the electric heater provided. Lorena is a great communicator. The artwork is amazing. We were so grateful for the washer and dryer. On our last night/last day, the Volcano erupted. Our family went to the Jagger Museum area to watch. Raining and very few people at that time (4 am). We plan on coming back next year.THANKS LORENA!!!

Convenient base to explore Volcano and Hilo

The home worked great for us. Two adult couples visiting the island. We were looking for a place close to the national park. On the day we arrived, there was a torrential rain storm the entire day. The host was able to get us into the house early which was super helpful since touring was not an option. We enjoyed the hot tub and playing cards to pass the day. Beautiful landscaping. Lots of room. And the full size washer/dryer was much appreciated.

Beautiful!

Very beautiful property that is just minutes to the park entrance. Everything was super clean and the beds/bedding were all very comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to be well stocked (and very tidy!). We also didn’t use the hot tub but it too looked super clean (unlike most places we’ve stayed). The sound of the tree frogs at night is magical! Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful cabin in the rain forest

We are so glad we stayed in this remote part of the island. This cabin was clean, neat and cozy for the two nights we stayed. We enjoyed the hot tub at night listening to nature. It was just a short few minutes drive to the Volcano visitor center. The beds were comfortable and our family of 5 felt at home. We would stay again when we come back into town.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Hawaii 40 years ago and always wanted our own little piece of paradise. Always traveling in Hawaii, we discovered things and features that characterized "Living in Paradise" and included them in the house so all of our guests would leave with the Spirit of Aloha in their hearts.

Aloha Sweet Hale is the "big sister" to Hale Sweet Hale, also located n Volcano Village. It is where your image of Hawaii comes alive with its lush tropical surroundings. Staying at Aloha Sweet Hale or Hale Sweet Hale captures paradise that is distinctively the best and unforgettable in Volcano Village.
