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.

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.

A very special place
We loved the wood stove the landscaping and the quiet relaxing environment. The house was lovely and well thought out. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean and comfortable. My only negative is the appliances seem over worked and loud and could use an upgrade. I understand the need for cameras but the one facing the back door seemed to take in the hot tub and it felt a bit intrusive. Other than that we loved our short stay. Thank you.

Perfect for our group of 5
Our group, ranging from 5 to 8 has been staying in volcano at various places over the last 10 years. This home has been the most perfect in so many ways. Their attention to detail is unparalleled; little touches that you wouldn’t expect are everywhere, like heated towel bars, heaters in the bedrooms, ice in the freezer, nice dishes and flatware - not cheep seconds, lots of nice glasses and cups. This might sound like it should be usual, but it isn’t. Most people furnished their places with furniture and decor from secondhand shops. It’s not the case in this home. The host was a great communicator and left clear instructions for us that were easy and sensible to follow. If we go back to Volcano, we will definitely stay here again.

Rain Forest Retreat
We spent 3 nights in this cabin as the home base for exploring the Hilo side of the island. This property is located minutes from the entrance to the National Park making it perfect for a multi day exploration of the park. It is less than an hour to Hilo. It was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was wonderful after hiking. The yard was beautiful and well maintained. A private botanical garden.

Can’t be beat!
My wife and I just spent four nights in this beautiful home. If you are looking to explore Volcano National Park and/or the eastern side of the Big Island, the location is perfect. The home is about 3 miles from the national park entrance and it takes just 10 minutes to drive there. Hilo is a 40 minute drive, and you will want to load up on groceries and gas there if you are planning to spend any length of time in the house. Volcano has very limited grocery options. The house itself is very nicely decorated, spacious, and has beautiful grounds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. The covered deck off the back of the house is huge, well furnished with a large dining table and has a modern gas grill and hot tub. The kitchen is very well equipped and modern. There is no dishwasher, garbage disposal, air conditioning, or central heating. Frankly, we did not need any of those things. Multiple fans and space heaters are provided if needed, as are extra duvets and blankets. The owner was very prompt in replying to emails and offering advice. The housekeeper was also available for any issues that might arise. We would love to stay here again if we come back.

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.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home in the beautiful native Hawaiian rainforest! This home is well stocked with everything you need for the stay and is located just 5 minutes from the National Park. We had a relaxing time sitting on the deck in the morning with coffee and enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The owners are kind and communicative and have maintained a beautiful property. Will stay again!

It doesn’t get better than this! We were impressed with the cleanliness and privacy of this beautiful home. As a clean-freak, I usually clean a rental when I arrive; here, I didn’t have to do a thing! Everything from hot tub to laundry worked perfectly. The owners have created a splendid sanctuary in the jungle, yet it is so close to Volcano National Park, restaurants, etc. although we didn’t cook much, the kitchen had everything we needed including a coffee grinder, tea and coffee (if you didn’t stop and buy beans at Green-well Farms). We highly recommend this home for your Volcano Park stay!!!

Everything At Aloha Sweet Hale is 5+
Everything about Aloha Sweet Hale is 5+. Our group of boomers and millennials are well traveled and not ones to overstate ratings. All of us thoroughly fell in love with this property. Location can be everything and this one was perfect for privacy to soak in the beauty of the surroundings in the hot tub and proximity to Volcanoes National Park. Fireplace cozy, beds and baths comfy. Can’t think of a thing missing or needing change.

Great stay in Volcano!
The house was exactly as described and was very clean. It is super convenient to Volcanoes National Park. It was so nice not to have a long drive after hiking all day, and the hot tub was a plus. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. My only suggestion would be to add a cooler for taking lunch into VNP.

Quiet Location close to Volcanoes NP
Aloha Sweet Hale was a good place for our time on this part of the island. It is tastefully styled with a thoughtful layout that provides a lot of useful space for a family, and has lovely grounds. We all slept well with the quiet surroundings, extremely comfortable beds and pillows, and cozy linens. Shirley is also a very kind and responsive host. The house and grounds are in good condition and generally well stocked, though we couldn't give it five stars because we felt it could use a refresh/restock on some household items. The house sleeps six, but there were only three spoons, and only 4-5 forks. We also couldn't get the gas grill to work - the burners were rusty and corroded, and despite turning them all up on high the temperature in the grill never reached 350. We tried to change the gas tank in case the one on it was low, but the extra was empty. I would note that I am certain Shirley would have helped, but at this point it was late and we just gave up and cooked everything on the stove. Floors, bathrooms, and linens were all clean, but there were numerous webs in ceiling corners that had been there a while. This is a very cute house, with all the amenities one needs for a great trip to Volcano and very nice host. With some attention to the overlooked spots and the items prone to wear and tear, this could be five stars.
