Everything was fantastic. We really enjoyed the deck and fire table. The little dog Lizzie was a great playmate of our Granddaughter. The bedrooms were spacious as was the main room and kitchen. Our best time was when it rained at night and we sat out under the clear roof with the fire table going. We will be back.

We enjoyed everything about the house and the location was perfect for visiting volcano national Park. Choices of restaurants and grocery stores is limited. Would’ve liked to known that we were living above somebody. That was not made clear and I learned it from the reviews. House has lovely scenery, only one TV and no cable. We were busy sightseeing most of the days and so it was not a big problem.

Beautiful location, with Bob the host meeting us and introducing the accommodation. An oasis in the rain forest, perfect for what we were looking for. Everything you need is provided, and the hot tub topped it, listening to the coqui frogs! Recommended, thank you Bob!

Very cozy home with everything we needed for our stay. So close to the national park we could rush there in 5 minutes when we saw te volcano was erupting. Downstairs resident nice older gentleman with small dog we enjoyed visiting with. Future guests may appreciate knowing there is a dog downstairs in case that is an issue, it was not for us at all.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mauna Loa! The home was very private, comfortable and peaceful. The proximity to Volcano National Park it was only a 6 minute drive- made it convenient to take breaks and for an easy drive to catch the sunrise over the volcanos. The owner, Bud, and his dog Lizzy are really engaging to chat with but also respect your privacy if you prefer. We loved soaking in the hot tub at the end of our days spent hiking.

Great property close to Volcano NP
We had a wonderful stay at Hale Mauna Loa. It was serene and pretty spacious. It was only a short drive away from the national park, which was super convenient. The property is a little older, but maintained well. We would recommend getting all your groceries before checking in since Foodland is a 20-30 minute drive. We recommend staying here.
Very spacious with beautiful surroundings. A true get away into the Hawaiian rain forest.

Beautiful location in the Rain Forest
The property was conveniently located close to National Volcano Park. The outdoor space was wonderful with ample seating and was covered. We were able to sit out in the rain by the fire pit being serenaded by the birds all night long! We would have found more info on the property helpful such as how to work the shower, where to leave the garbage etc. The only real issue were the beds they were not very comfortable.

Wonderful location, musty house, terrible smell
Positives: --The location is perfect for anyone visiting Volcanoes National Park. --The deck is lovely. The grill is great and very clean.--The kitchen is old and there is no dishwasher but it is otherwise very well-equipped.Negatives:--The house is musty and smells absolutely terrible. There are dehumidifiers in every room. --The carpet is old and stained.--The furniture and bedding is very old. The blankets were musty.--There is a washer and a dryer in the unit but they are secured with locks. There is a laundromat in town but it is not nice and quite inconvenient.--Not the worst place but the musty, moldy smell is overpowering.

Amazing Treehouse near Volcanoes National Park
We loved our stay at this property and wish we would have stayed longer. Plenty of space for everyone and a gorgeous deck overlooking the lush gardens and foliage. We had a dip in the hot tub and met the very nice owner. The location in proximity to Volcanoes National Park was amazing - literally minutes.

Great location near the national park!
We stayed with our three kids and had a great time! While some of the carpet and finishings are a bit worn, the great spaces made up for it. The hot tub was great after hiking at the national park all day, the deck was huge and amazing for grilling dinner, and the gardens made for a very unique rainforest feel to the whole stay!

Great location, so close to Volcano National Park!
Loved the gardens and the gorgeous covered lanai (patio). The unit was spacious and the proximity to Volcano NP was amazing! The beds were comfortable. The very minimal kitchen equipment made it hard to make dinner (ie-no large frying pan, etc) and the light coloured carpet was quite stained throughout which lead to a feeling of it being dirty. Easy fixes would make this place 5 stars.

Second time here, and we would go back again
This is an absolutely lovely home in the jungle, with lots of wood and high ceilings. The big lanai is a beautiful spot to relax. The house is spacious, with a nice kitchen and dining area. It would be perfect for a family or 2 or even 3 couples. And it is close to Volcano National Park. One thing to remember is that it gets gold in the jungle at night. The gas fire place warms up the living space, but bedrooms can be cold, so bring warm jammies.
