Very moist and not very clean
It rained the day we were supposed to arrive, and our host gave us an hour’s notice that he was denying access for that night, so we had to quickly find a place to stay. We arrived the next day, and stayed 3 nights. Everything was damp and clammy. I don’t think the unit ever dried out. Spiders and webs everywhere, but maybe that’s typical for a rain forest. We were not happy with the unit but felt we did not have alternative options since our host said he would not refund us.

Unexpected Beauty in the Rainforest
We had a wonderful stay at Jim's property. We had seen some reviews talk about the beautful gardens, but we had no idea! For plant lovers, gardeners, or simply nature lovers, this is the place for you! The property is full of old growth ohias, hapu'u ferns, and countless varieties of flowers and plants. The most special however are the numerous vireya rhododendrons! Absolutely amazing. The guest suite has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the street is quiet and secluded, but the highlight for us was definitely the beautiful walking paths throughout the gardens. Thank you for sharing such a magical place with us Jim!

Located right outside of the NP entrance, but far enough away from main roads that you felt like you were in your own little world.

Wonderful Studio in a Garden
The location of the town of Volcano is unique. The studio was down a beautiful one lane road surrounded by lovely plants and foliage . The studio accommodation itself was just right for 2 people. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Walking through the large garden was calming and inspirational. There are easy paths through flowers , shrubs and trees, with a koi pond and seats along the way. We were very fortunate to be able to reserve this year for my birthday. Mahalo!

Ok place but a bit creepy
Had to drive about 1km through a road surrounded by jungle. Very isolated. Jim seemed nice. Did not realise this was a home stay with a very flimsY door connecting to a house. Pics depicted a separate unit. Lots of rain on a tin roof and creaking noises of the houses led to a restless sleep. Did not feel safe in the place tbh, though could just be me not use to home stays

This was a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are absolutely incredible!!! The birds, frogs and insects provide such a soothing/calming background. Wandering the grounds, you can find a sitting area that overlooks a small koi pond. When I was there, there were so many flowers in bloom. I would highly recommend this as a location to stay!!

Paradise only gets better
This was our second trip to this property and time & the owner's pride in it has only made it better. We never tire of visiting Kilauea when we visit the Big Island and Jim's lodging is only about a mile from the entrance to Volcanoes National Park. Its when you end the day however, that his place is special. It is literally in a living garden of tropical plants. To look out the window and see anthuriums, if only those as there are far more types of flowers, is wondrous. A walk through his gardens will confirm that his hideaway is truly a Hawaiian paradise.

An excellent spot to explore Volcano National Park
We had a great stay at this spacious, charming home. Check in was super-simple and we had a chance to explore both the stunning gardens on-site and pop over to the National Park on the evening we arrived. The kitchenette was perfect for warming up dinner and having coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping to the sound of rain outside. Highly recommended!
