ENTIRE HOUSE RENTAL; YOUR PARTY WILL BE THE ONLY GUESTS ON THE NINE ACRE PROPERTY.
The Volcano Rainforest Lodge is a luxury craftsman house in an ancient forest.
We are located only a few minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park main entrance near Kilauea summit and the friendly artists community of Volcano Village. Volcano Rainforest Lodge is located in a secluded, private, 9-acre forest estate. Each room is designed to view the forest and lava outcroppings.

The Lodge was designed with privacy in mind. No other guests will be on the property during your visit. The house is located on an extremely quiet, 3-acre lot. The 3-acre lots on either side have been acquired to allow for additional peace and quiet.

This Lodge has 2,300 square feet, on one level with three bedroom/bathroom suites, gourmet kitchen, living room with lava rock fireplace, 16' x 20' dining room, laundry room and over 1,400 square feet of covered, outside living area (lanai) with comfortable seating. The home has three staircases which access the main level. The rear staircase has only four steps. A guest favorite - " The "hot tub under the stars" is behind the dining room lanai.

The Lodge has three king bedroom suites. With advance notice, one suite can be arranged with two twin beds. We also have two roll-away twin beds an inflatable twin bed, a Pack-N-Play, and a crib for larger groups and groups with younger children.

Beautiful Lodge and rainforest

We were two couples staying for five nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. We explored the region everyday, cooked our meals in the well-equipped kitchen and on the BBQ, and soaked in the hottub under the stars. It was perfect for relaxing and as a homebase. We definitely recommend it!!

Beautiful lodge, great location to explore Volcano area

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful and very well appointed luxury lodge just minutes away from Volcano National Park and Volcano Village. It was the perfect place for a group of 6 (and potentially more) to explore the surrounding areas and the lodge itself was very comfortable with high end amenities and lots of space for everyone.

Simple gorgeous

If you're looking for a truly unforgettable escape, I highly recommend staying at this charming house in the heart of the rainforest. The views from the house are nothing short of spectacular, with the surrounding jungle stretching as far as the eye can see. The atmosphere here is so peaceful, with the constant sounds of nature—chirping birds, rustling leaves, and the occasional call of wild animals—creating the perfect backdrop for relaxation.The house itself is cozy, allowing you to truly feel connected to the land around you. The host is fantastic, always ready to answer any questions and offer helpful advice on how to make the most of your stay. They provide detailed information on things to do in the area. Whether you're interested in exploring the jungle, soaking in the natural beauty, or simply relaxing in this peaceful haven, this spot has it all.

Great property and fantastic host

This is exactly what we were looking for on our trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It was only 10 minutes from the park. The place was easy to find, even in the dark. The house is magnificent. Everything was in great condition, clearly well maintained and clean. Above all else, the host was fantastic. She provided very clear instructions and was available to help with any questions. She also went above and beyond and messaged to let us know that an eruption was happening in the park! We were able to head right over and got to observe a natural phenomenon that is unbelievable to see. We probably would have missed it if not for the notification from the host. We are so glad we stayed here and cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet stay by the park, you found it!

Classy estate

This property was beautiful and carefully maintained. My only complaint would be that the driveway was difficult to navigate in the dark. Even so, we all loved it. Very close to the national park. We entered the park multiple times as it was so convenient.

Quiet Jungle Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed the design and spaciousness of this lovely home! Listening to the night sounds of the "jungle" while walking around on the wrap around deck was awesome. Sipping my coffee in the dining room in the morning listening to the sound of silence recharged my soul! It was a great location to stay to enjoy Volcano National Park.

Magical Rainforest Stay

Loved this beautiful, handcrafted home tucked into an amazing rainforest. Loads of space for 4 adults and 2 children. Sitting outside listening to the night sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable. This house has lots of interesting artwork—so I will say that if you have an inquisitive 4-year-old in your group, you will have to keep vigilant watch!! Getting to the national park and Hilo was easy.

Five Star Plus

This house deserves more stars than 5. The one category that I rated 4 stars was website accuracy because the photos don’t do it justice, from the house itself to the magnificent views from inside each window. Our family group consisted of a five year old, his parents and one set of grandparents and each of us loved this place. We appreciated the cleanliness, comfort and beauty of the setting. There is a lovely wraparound porch and, as the description says, each bedroom has its own bathroom. Beds are comfy and bedding provides warmth for the cold nights. The managers are always accessible and provided immediate help with a couple of issues. The first was with the WiFi, which once reset properly worked great. The second was the water heater which gave up the ghost our last full day. Water heaters don’t last forever and we just happened to be there when this one gave out so we had no hot water for showers or dishwashing that day. We very much appreciate the way this was handled by the managers and owners. I should also note that we discovered that at least two of the bathrooms have on-demand water heaters under the sinks so there was still access to some hot water. There is a lot to see on the big island and we plan to be back. We hope to be able to stay in this house again next time we visit.

Gorgeous Home in the Rain Forest

Driving into the short private drive up to the house was like driving onto the set of Indian Jones or Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs. Pulling up to the house itself revealed a gorgeous well furnished home with attention to details. Tropical woods throughout, and well equipped modern kitchen, and three large bedrooms each with an on sweat bathroom. Huge picture windows look onto a beautifully landscaped tropical garden. Everything you see on VRBO is what you see in person. We enjoyed dipping in the hot tub each evening and morning before setting off on our daily adventures. The town of Hilo is about a 30 minute drive away and local dining options in Volcano are few, but on the plus side you are just minutes away from the Volcano National Park. That is the only minor draw back to this location.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Jennifer Owens

Host profile image
features from every room and private lanais. We built this home to last for generations, with only high quality construction materials being used. The Volcano Rainforest Lodge took years to complete because great efforts were made to spare the forest and lava features. No bulldozer ever touched the lot with the utmost effort being made to protect the many endangered trees and plants on the grounds. The utilities were placed underground to maximize the views from The Lodge.

Why they chose this property

The property was chosen because of its location. While only minutes away from the national park, Volcano Village, and the golf course, the home site has a remote, rural feeling for those who desire privacy and quiet. The elevation of the lodge is about 3,025' and the daytime high temperature is rarely over 78 degrees. The property is within Hawaiian Orchid Island Estates. The nine acre estate allows for an extensive hiking trail network exclusive to our guests. The property has numerous lava outcroppings to explore as well as 200-year-old Ohia trees, rare native plants, and 20' Hawaiian Hapu'u tree ferns. Construction of the Volcano Rainforest Estate was completed in December 2012.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge has over 1,400 square feet of covered, outside living area. Comfortable patio furniture surrounds the house for guests to enjoy the forest in every direction. After a day in the park guests may enjoy a relaxing rest in the hot tub while viewing the beautiful fern forest and stunning night skies. All of the lava excavated during construction was used in the foundation of the home, fireplace, and retaining walls. Exotic woods add to the beauty and elegance of The Volcano Rainforest Lodge. A giant Mango tree which was blown down in a storm and blocked the highway is now our floor and trim. Come and enjoy this beautiful Hawaiian Craftsman home.
