These hollow rock columns were formed when the lava wrapped around the cool tree trunks and quickly solidified. When the molten lava drained away, these rock columns were left standing. The columns are hollow because the tree trunks themselves were incinerated during the process, but only after the rock had cooled enough to hold it's shape. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the texture of the tree bark in the rock molds.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6289524/aada9d04-09c0-4614-b9ef-039e023150e3.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Lava Tree State Monument 21 min drive \- 18.6 km - ![Reeds Bay Beach Park is located on Banyan Drive, Hilo, big island of Hawaii.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6160347/6566b2dc-7b27-4b3f-8556-449352841bcf.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Port of Hilo 45 min drive \- 48.5 km - Hawaiian Beaches Park 9 min drive \- 1.6 km - Pahoa Museum 15 min drive \- 11.4 km - University of Hawaii at Hilo 41 min drive \- 42.8 km ### Getting around - Hilo Intl.

Jan 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hikers Hideaway We came to explore the island trails (hiking and snorkeling) and did much driving (1 to 2.5 hours each way a day) and hiking so our time at the rental was limited to sleeping and eating, showering, doing laundry (a fantastic outdoor sink to clean gear) and using the WiFi (great signal). Everything worked well for our needs. We appreciated the owner’s response time to one of our requests and their generosity in supplying masks, snorkels, chairs etc for our water time explorations. Watching the volcano erupt at Volcano National Park was a highlight of our trip. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their home with us. ##### Nancy E.

The house was well stocked with everything that we needed and the communication from the owner was second to none as he checked in almost daily to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. We would stay again if we ever visit Hawaii's Big Island.

Be sure to go to the property before you go shopping as there is a variety of dry goods, bug spray, toiletries, snorkeling gear and such that you may not need to purchase. Robert was attentive as a host, checking in to make sure we had everything and that we had no issues. Thanks for a great holiday stay. ##### Gordon W.

Overall, it’s a nice clean house, but really there’s no comfortable chair or couch to sit on in the living room to watch the TV. The couches a futon with the springs popping out in the two chairs he had were not comfortable to sit in. Don’t get me wrong I’m a 6 foot three man so it’s hard for me to find a comfortable chair. Overall nice place good shopping center up the street about 5 miles good food at the Black rock Café. Just kind of far from Hilo and lots of traffic to get to it in and out. ##### Brad P.

The home had everything to meet our needs for a honeymoon and vow renewal. We had a little kitten that visited us each day, chickens that woke us each morning, and even a few visits from wild boars. The house is dated and could use some deep cleaning as it had a weird smell for the duration of our stay. The hosts were very responsive, and we loved being in Pahoa, away from all of the tourist. We were able to drive around the island every day. There is a beautiful park with spectacular cliffs and photo opportunities a short walk away. Definitely take advantage of it. Thanks for great memories. ##### DeAnna C. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph F. Sep 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Grandma’s well worn 1980’s house We arrived to find the house closed up and very warm, hot actually. Outdated, worn out countertops with gunk around the old sink. No dishwasher and BIG roaches in the silverware drawer. All of it just felt like going to grandmas house… a year after she went to a home. It was 8pm and 72 outside, 90 inside. No A/C in the 3 bedrooms, stifling to others before us apparently , floor and window fans provided minimal relief. All of the home feels old. All that being said, we spent most of time at the house on the lovely back porch. The new, clean grill was used daily. Proximity to Volcanos National Park is a 30 minute drive, the back yard is lovely, but adjoins another home that cancels out its privacy due to its location deeper on its lot. ##### Joseph F.

The home was clean, the beds were comfortable and was it equipped with everything that we might need. The communication was awesome with directions and awesome details. We loved the area and it was wonderful for early morning walks to the ocean. ##### Gina C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn B. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great house to stay in for some relaxation on the east side of the island. Location was 30-35 minutes from Hilo, but no problems navigating all around the east side. And there were some wonderful restaurants nearby! ##### Lyn B.
