This place is a gem! We were in the area "Lava Tree Park" and I read so much about it online I wanted to check it out. This place is an oasis! What a divine location!!! You have to drive on a one lane gravel road to get there, that helps to add to the quiet and peacefulness of the... More

The location is beautiful, surrounded by lush vegetation, it's also in reasonable proximity to take a lava hike or go to the Volcanoes NP. Breakfast is excellent and the host Irene is really very nice. Just be aware, that only one room has a private bathroom, the other 4 double rooms share two bathrooms, breakfast usually only finishes by 10... More

Irene was so kind and welcoming and did everything she could to make us feel welcome in this big home set on a huge estate of tropical trees. Breakfasts on the lanai were pleasant, full of good conversation, and lengthy. Our room, the Sunset Palm room, is the smallest and least expensive, but was bright, clean, and pleasant and quite...

Just say "aahh" as you sink one of the lanai (porch) chairs and absorb the quiet beauty of the vegetation and gardens surrounding this lovely estate. Irene adds to the luxury with a breakfast of many courses.. just when we thought we were finished..out came the quiche and then another plate of local fruit! The rooms are spacious and nicely...

I loved my short stay at this delightful bed and breakfast during the holidays. I live on the Big Island and don't often get to be treated like an honored traveller from a far-off land. Irene is remarkable, kind, inspiring. Her garden - I appreciate Hawaiian gardens - is wonderful, and the variety of delicacies from the garden that arrived... More

The place is amazing, Irene is amazing, and you meet the most wonderful people. My wife and I stayed here a half dozen years ago, have been thinking of returning ever since, and just spent a wonderful four more days. Your experience starts when you drive in underneath overhanging trees and past a metal gate showing the four elements of... More

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the Lava Tree Tropic Inn, but next time we'll know to book a longer stay. It's a beautiful place, and only a few miles from the hot pool, a large swimming pool sized area where thermal water mixes with ocean water, only about 4 feet deep or so, just perfect. Irene is...

We stayed here over Christmas while visiting our Son and his Family. There were four of us and their place was too small to accommodate us, so we chose Lava Trees Tropical Inn for it's proximity to their home. WOW are we glad we lucked into it. Irene is so wonderful and her place has such a warm and welcoming... More

In early November my wife and I returned to Lava Tree Tropic Inn, this time with another couple, for the second time since March. The torrential rains and thunder and lightning added new and fascinating sounds to the natural charm of this wonderful place. A special treat was the ukulele jam session with Irene's friends and neighbors which usually takes... More
