Here in Volcano, all of water is rainwater that we collect in our catchment system. It has been filtered and UV sterilized for potable and normal use. We do ask that all our guests help us conserve water by not taken long showers and not allowing the water to run when you are brushing your teeth. We do have “on demand” hot water systems to help us conserve energy so please be patient while the water heats up for showers and sinks.
In keeping with Hawaiian custom, we ask that you remove your shoes in the house.
During your stay: The owners live on the property in a separate space away from the main house.

Wonderful home for groups of 6 to 8 people. All four bedrooms have nice, private baths, tho one has twin beds (great for kids). Also a very nice kitchen. Best part is quick & easy proximity to Volcanoes National Park, so we were able to make multiple visits per day (resting in between). Also close to Volcano town and its cafes. House has a gas grill, so stop in Hilo before you come up and grab steaks or burgers.
Our stay at the property in the rainforest was such an amazing experience. Property manager was very responsive and helped us with some essentials on Christmas day.
We really enjoyed our stay- comfortable beds plenty of towels, cooking pots, utensils, plates, etc. Hot tub was great. So close to everything- just a mile or to to town or park entrance. No washer/dryer which I had not noticed on listing-luckily we had just washed clothes at last location. We enjoyed bottled water with hot/cold dispenser. In checkin note we were told not to drink tap water. We didn’t know if this was for safety or taste but we decided to be careful and even brushed teeth with bottled water. We enjoyed games and lots of helpful information about the area. Definitely a wonderful place to stay in Volcano!
An extended family of eight thoroughly enjoyed staying at this VRBO property.
We were immersed in the feeling of the volcano national park while being very close to the lodge.
This property is perfect for an extended family reunion. We very comfortably cooked many meals in the kitchen and even enjoyed the fireplace. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus also.
This is in a great location for visiting the park. The house was very clean and well stocked. Each bedroom is very warm and cozy and the hot tub was nice to have.
Our family of 9 rented the entire house for 4 nights. It was clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. The grounds were also lovely offering privacy from neighbors. We chose this property as it is very close to the entrance to Volcanoes NP, as well as the town of Volcano, and were definitely pleased with our choice. Sarah was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Stayed in this beautiful home for 3 nights! Wonderful location. We spent mornings touring at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, then retreated to our VRBO for a quiet afternoon to relax. Hot tub was wonderful for this! Location close to the national park meant we were able to beat the crowds in the morning. House has a nice layout. Would definitely book again.
Beautiful home just minutes away from Hawaii Volcano National Park. All the comforts of home. Lots of games, books, puzzles and movies to keep us entertained in the evening. The hot tub was great to soak in after a long day of hiking in the park. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend to friends and family.
Beautiful House/ B&B Conveniently Located Near Volcano National Park
The house was well appointed and well maintained. Loved the location and the hot tub (popi;ar with the kids in the groups). Only think we lacked was having a washer and dryer on site. Otherwise, it was perfect for our group and our stay.
We spent a week here and it was really nice. It is very close to the Volcanos National Park but in a private lush neighborhood. The house is really neat- well laid out and nicely equipped. It’s clean and comfortable. If we get to go back early next year, I will for sure book it again. I recommend it to anyone going to see the volcanos.
This house feels cozy, but provides plenty of space for a large crowd. The owners were so helpful, and even brought over games for us to play on a rainy night. The lush tropical forest provides plenty of privacy.
Super Clean and Well Stocked Nearby Volcanoes Natl Park
This was a multi-generation trip grand-parents, parents, and grand kids 7 and 10. My wife is super picky about cleanliness and this place passed muster with her. The house was very well stocked with bathrobes, snacks, bottled water, a hot/cold water dispenser and firewood for the fireplace in the living room. A previous review said the cover of the hot tub was hard to remove, but it was quite easy. My only suggestion would be to provide instructions for the coffee maker - we had to figure that out for ourselves. It was a wonderful stay.
Our family of 10 (ages 2-85) felt this was the perfect rental so close to VNP. We loved having the hot tub on the front porch, so nice to have 4 bedrooms w private bathrooms. The pull out sofa was comfortable. Sarah was an amazing host, providing travel cribs for the 2 babies, Fans for the upstairs bedroom, an air mattress, ideas for day trips, and even let us send an amazon package before we arrived. Great space in the kitchen and well stocked for baking. We loved our stay and are very grateful! Loved the frogs singing us to sleep at night as well. Thanks Sarah! A trip to remember!
This is a perfect location for visiting the volcano, black sand beach and more. The house also fit 10 people very comfortable. The rain forest, tropical vegetation and animals my make the experience even better. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need, plus the hot tub is a plus.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Ochoa
We purchased the Lava Pond Lodge in early January 2021 and we are extremely excited for what this endeavor has instore for us. We are leaving the property for the most part unchanged and only making minor updates here and there. Why change a good thing if it is working, right?
During these uncertain times we are very COVID minded and echo the messaging on the Big Island. We are going to great lengths to keep our 'ohana safe and are Covid Compliant. As our guests you are a part of our ohana (family) and we want you to be comfortable and safe when you visit us.
Our goal is to continue to build onto the great reputation that the Lava Pond Lodge is known and adored for. Warm and friendly hosts, breath taking surrounds and convenient location to nearby sites. We are also looking at becoming closer with community and culture as we establish and grow our ohana on the Big Island. We support local businesses and will always give back where we can when we can.
Why they chose this property
Having visited the Big Island and the Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast in Volcano on our honeymoon we fell in love with Hawai'i and the property and community.
Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast is located in the storybook village of Volcano Hawai'i, a community of artists, writers and scientists. We are secluded in the forest yet just 5 minutes from the entrance of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with its spectacular hiking trails, scenic vistas and lava viewing. Volcano is 27 miles from the Hilo airport and 96 miles from Kailua- Kona.
What makes this property unique
Explore a variety of hiking trails. See rainforest wildflowers, steam vents, giant scenic vistas and lava tubes both inside and outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a designated World Biosphere Preserve.
While the biggest attraction to the area is certainly Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park there are also many other reasons to visit this area of the big island. The rainforest makes this a very unique area. Visit the Volcano Art Center Gallery and catch a live hula performance. Witness the magic of authentic native Hawaiian dance and storytelling. Choose a class from their schedule of creative arts workshops, writing, Hawaiian culture & nature workshops for all ages.
We suggest wine tasting at the Volcano Winery, a trip to Rainbow Falls, a 80” tall waterfall, exploring the Kaumana Caves, enjoy the amazing views of the ocean and valley from Waipi'o lookout or hiking on Mauna Kea. One of our favorite weekend activities is seeing the Sea Turtles at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach which is a 38 minute drive from the lodge. Hilo also offers helicopter rides to view the beauty of the Island from above. I highly recommend the once-in-a-lifetime open door helicopter adventure.
