Description:
Kilauea Rain Forest Retreat is a relaxing place to unwind and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the tropical rain forest. View the surrounding Hapu'u Ferns, Ginger & Ohia trees by day, or romantically illuminated by night through large windows. This new house (Built in 2003) is located in one of the last high-altitude rain forests in the U.S. centrally located, near the village of Volcano (altitude approx. 3600 ft) four miles from the entrance of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the heart of the Big Island of Hawaii, just 30 minutes from Hilo on the East side and 2 hours from the Kona Coast on the west side, 2.5 hours from Waimea to the north. This house is comprised of a downstairs bedroom with queen size bed, spacious living room with cathedral ceiling and full sized convertible sofa, complete kitchen and a tiled bathroom with a luxurious spa-size tub with private views into the forest. There is a roomy loft with a full size bed. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes looming above the treetops can be viewed from this room. The loft is accessed from the living room by way of a securely fastened ships ladder. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for your meal preparation. This property is very private. You can not see any neighbors. Yet it is close to town. Its location is right off of highway 11 in a very dense tropical rain forest. There is an orchid growing warehouse just down the street called Akatsuka Orchid Gardens it's a very beautiful place to visit. Just up the road is the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where you can view the steam vents and there are lava tubes both in the park and down closer to Hilo which are all part of the same series of tubes carved out 500-700 years ago. At Richardson Bay 30 minutes from the house is some of the best snorkeling on the islands. There are a lot more things to do and see, there are water falls, botanical gardens, lava flows into the ocean (when active) and great restaurants. I can provide you with more info on all that and much more when you book your stay with us. As an added bonus there are no mosquitoes in this area because of it's a cooler climate. Your host is located near-by. Should you have any special needs or requests, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. Click here for a map of Volcano Village
