The outdoor showers are great and we enjoyed the hot tub one rainy afternoon. The house itself is lovely, nicely decorated, very well organized and comfortable. The kitchen is superbly stocked and we enjoyed cooking some wonderful meals there. The location was perfect, close enough to Hilo but in a quiet, private neighborhood. The property manager and owners were very responsive. Highly recommend this property! ##### Lynn C. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas M. Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best trip ever The lava retreat was the best place we have ever stayed! The host have thought of absolutely everything one could ever need. Going inside the house you see the back area which is not to disappoint and even better the more you explore! Comfortable beds, rooms, great sitting areas, stocked kitchen! Just 6 minutes to Hilo but feels a world away.. score 20/10 and we will absolutely return ##### Thomas M.

Everything was immaculate, and all the luxuries to make it a special stay. We are "coffee-holics", so we overjoyed when we came in to all the wonderful options.We spent most of our time relaxing in the incredible outdoor spaces. The outdoor shower and hot tub are a special treat. Wandering the garden paths after dark is like being in a fairy jungle. The primary suite is particularly romantic with the outdoor lighting flickering through the curtains.We will be back! ##### Leslie S.

Everything was spotless and sqeeky clean. Beautifully designed home built on lava rock bed creates a stunning setting for sitting back and relaxing. Host was non-intrusive but very warm and engaging when we initiated conversation. Close to town and an easy drive to beaches. Truly a highlight of our two month stay on the big island. ##### Laure C.

Reviewer Comments: Worth every dime! I forgot how much we paid, but it was worth it. This property made us not want to leave home a couple of days. It’s tastefully decorated, well appointed, full of amenities, and peaceful. We were pleasantly surprised with the endless details, privacy and comfort. I’m an OCD type and I had zero issues. Even walked around with no shoes, left my suitcase open, and felt comfy laying on the sofa. That’s huge for me. Book this place. You won’t regret it! ##### Sheletha H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi D. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful tropical retreat minutes from Hilo We really enjoyed our stay at this unique property. We loved just sitting and looking out at the backyard which is like a tropical forest with paths available for walking, yet the property is in a neighborhood only 10 min from Hilo. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. The massage chair was enjoyed by all after hiking at the national park. This property is a great blend of nature and high tech with remote controlled ceiling fans and lighting in every room, high tech toilets and modern appliances. There is no air conditioning, and it was a bit hot in the afternoons, but it cooled off at night for sleeping. Check in/out was easy with the door code. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only negative we noticed was light filtering blinds in the main bedroom, which could be a problem for some who need the room darker in the morning hours. Also, coqui frogs sing at night (I think across most of the island). Could be white noise for some but we used our earplugs to sleep. ##### Heidi D.
