Situated on 2 private acres of pristine beauty and tranquility. A long winding driveway leads you to our very private home which backs up to the most spectacular lava field. Our home is surrounded by gorgeous, lush native Hawaiian rain forest, flowers, fruit trees, birds and imminent view of a recent phenomenon - Fissure 8.This was the most destructive fissure from the 2018 Lava flow and contains geothermal heated pockets on the island. Other things to note The lava eruption of 2018 in Leilani Estates Hawaii has left behind a spectacular landscape of some of the world's newest Earth and our home incredibly survived only by 100 feet. Spend the night in our Lava House, the closest house to Fissure 8. Then wake up to the still hot and steaming lava field and enjoy the spectacular sunrise. You will experience the sound of nature with the rustles of tree leaves, the songs of tropical birds during the day and coqui frogs at night. Enjoy breath-taking alpenglow by sunset, where clouds are almost touching the Fissure 8. And then, view the never-ending night sky. Just sit comfortably in the chair on our covered patio with glass of wine or your favorite drink and relax by listening to ambient music and set your tone for your time spending here. Enjoy this romantic place on the Earth. Paradise awaits! You will have your own private space but still have a caretaker on site if you need anything. Adventure to Rainbow Falls, explore the alien terrain of Lava Tree State Monument, or pick up some fresh local products from the Kalapana Farmer's Market! Shopping & restaurants are located 10 minutes away in historic Pahoa town. Near the local Roman Catholic Church is the memorial statue of Father Damien who established first churches here in 1865 and lived on Big Island for 9 years before Molokai. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Jetted bathtub - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) - Food and water bowls ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Snorkeling nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76570000/76560300/76560254/44dd8ec9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Jungle Home/AC/ NearHot Ponds Fissure 8/Hot Tub Pahoa - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 16 reviews CA $264 CA $538 total includes taxes & fees Nov 17 - Nov 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=76560254&PinnedHotelID=76560254&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71410000/71400300/71400294/9ac2b89d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Off Grid Getaway w Panoramic Ocean Views Pahoa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 8 reviews CA $175 CA $456 total includes taxes & fees Nov 2 - Nov 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=71400294&PinnedHotelID=71400294&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19080000/19071600/19071530/76a81c0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Renovated in June 2025, 3-Level Oceanfront Home with views from every room Pahoa - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 357 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-07&endDate=2025-11-08&selected=19071530&PinnedHotelID=19071530&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44320000/44318600/44318598/7acc1943.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Magical Lava Temple Eco-Retreat w Volcano Views and Black Sand Beaches Pahoa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 8 reviews CA $100 CA $394 total includes taxes & fees Oct 28 - Oct 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=44318598&PinnedHotelID=44318598&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93470000/93469200/93469155/a6c53359.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pele's Paradise- Absolute Oceanfront Paradise with Air Conditioning!

We had a lovely stay in the jungle right in the edge of the majestic fissure 8. It was truly magical, a very memorable and lovely experience for our family. I wish we had stayed longer. ##### Michael A. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally K.

Excellent communication lovely accomodation. Hope we are fortunate enough to return in the future. Great Vibe! ##### Sally K. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W., Salt Spring Island Jan 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### New Year’s Celebration at the Lava House We had a wonderful time staying over New Years and Mother Earth provided all the energy and ambiance that we needed. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need to relax, drink and prepare food. The contrast of the Fissure 8 lava flow to the lush replanted tropical garden is amazing. The house is off grid but everything ran seamlessly. There are some limitations on where a person can wander on the newly created lava but I think those are probably wise safety issues. We also enjoyed the artsy small town, local feel of Pāhoa and really recommend the Saturday market on the coast at Kalapana. The produce was excellent and very well priced. Checkin was easy and well communicated. Overall a truly unique and memorable experience. ##### David W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff R., Lubbock, TX Dec 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### One of a kind experience We didn't realize just how special this place was until we stayed here and understood how devastated this area was. It was an honor to be able to be in a place that was spared from complete destruction. Our only regret is that we didn't just spend more time sitting at the house and enjoying everything. ##### Jeff R.
