About this property

SEEN ON HGTV -2024--YOUR YEAR to EXPLORE-- Hale Sweet Hale- HOT TUB -Romantic

Don’t miss your chance of a lifetime to see one of the more active and friendly volcanoes in the world. Come stay at Hale Sweet Hale for an UNFORGETTABLE visit to the Big Island. Volcanoes National Park is just 5 minutes away from Hale Sweet Hale and you’ll be amazed at the lush rainforest that surrounds our cedar log house. See the pheasants that roam the yard; the towering hapu’u ferns reach over15 feet towards the sky; and fragrant kalihi ginger bloom throughout the yard.

The charm starts when you turn off the paved road and onto the gravel road . It’s a very short drive on this road as you travel through the lush surroundings, to then be welcomed into a circular driveway surrounded by luscious scenery and a fairy tale cabin.

As you enter Hale Sweet Hale, you’ll be greeted by the spirit of Aloha. Skylights in all the rooms let in the morning sun and the evening moonlight and starlight. The covered lanai expands across the entire back of the home. You can choose to relax in the hot tub, cook on the BBQ without getting wet from the rain, yet enjoying the view, or simply sit with your thoughts deep meditation surrounded by the quiet and serenity nature has to offer.. Or all of the above!! With our Wi-Fi access, you can keep in touch with family and friends. They’ll wish they were there with you!

The kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs. The beds have flannel sheets to keep you warm during cool Volcano nights. For your comfort, there is a towel warmer in the bathroom that keeps your towels cozy warm. End your day (or spend all day) snuggled up by the wood burning stove in the living room.

Come and make your visit to Volcano UNFORGETTABLE.

SOME COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS-

"Absolutely beautiful with ALL the essentials. Loved staying here. Saw 5 pheasants in the driveway. It's a little piece of paradise."

"What a wonderful oasis away from it all!. It was a perfect birthday getaway. The house had everything we needed and was so comfortable and welcoming. We had a visit from the local pheasant family and waking up to the dawn chorus was incredible. I loved watching all the endemic birds frolic in the Ohia Lehua trees out back. What an amazing and magical spot."

"Wow! What a gem this hale has been. We are celebrating our 10 years and had no idea this trip would give us a chance to stay in the most beautiful hale we have ever stayed in. We will definitely keep this one at the top of our list for future trips. Thanks so much for giving us a chance to experience this little slice of heaven."

"Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful home to stay on our amazing vacation in Hawaii. Relaxing among the jungle with the birds and frogs singing to us was the perfect way to relax. The hot tub was such a lovely way to unwind after the days of exploring. We appreciate your generosity and will alway remember our incredible stay here."

"What a wonderful place to come and stay for three nights and soak in the amazing scenery of luch greenery and Volcanoes National Park. Many days spent hiking with a break to relax at this cozy cottage- hot tub, grilled cheese and soup, only to head back out to see the lava at night. Thanks for the firewood and sharing your lovely home with us. We had an amazing time. Until next time...Mahalo."

"Thanks for the HGTV preview prior to booking. Just as charming in person! Perfect location ti see the highlights of the area without having to drive for hours. We especially appreciated how spotless your home is, the wonderful hot tub on cool nights and the fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful home in a beautiful place."

"Thank you for sharing Hale Sweet Hale. Perfect for our 34th anniversary. Meticulously clean and relaxing cabin. Love the art on the walls, hot tub, singing birds, sighing breeze through the ohia and hapu'u. Beautiful place... We'll be back."

"We had a lovely and relaxing stay here for our honeymoon. We used the hot tub every morning after a cup of coffee. On our last morning we saw a beautiful three horned chameleon right off the porch. We are truly saddened to be leaving and hope to make it back here again one day to this magical Hale Sweet Hale."

cozy paradise
We loved staying at Hale Sweet Hale. Volcano is a lovely place and the wood cabin was so cozy and warm. It was perfect after four nights camping backcountry in HVNP. You are only a 6-minute drive from the park visitor centre and Volcano House (which had nice food, btw). This allowed us to do some day hikes in the park before sunset when the whole place is quite empty. This was our third time to HVNP. There's no shortage of things to do in the area. We visited Black Sand Beach one morning to snorkel with turtles and, on another day, we drove around Puna District to see the 2018 flow impacts. The home is delightful. It's welcoming and full of Hawaiian textiles and art. The hot tub and wood stove were exactly what we needed. The kitchen is fitted out well and we were able to clean our hiking clothing with the washer and dryer. The garden is lovely. Eating meals on the back deck to birdsong was perfect. As the host instructions will indicate, there are not a ton of grocery options in Volcano or at the KMC General Store in the park so stock up before you leave Kona. It's a 25 min drive to the Foodland in Keaau. We recommend a stay at this lovely place and will definitely return.

Seclusion
We had a wonderful stay…the icing on the cake was to be within a few minute drive to witness Kilauea erupting! Aunty Pons Thai Food truck was great. Thanks to Shirley for suggesting that….the hot tub was wonderful, however it needs a new cover. Hale Sweet Hale was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed in… it was so quiet, clean & peaceful….only the frequent visits by the Guinea Fowl….the wood burning stove did a marvellous job of taking the chill off in the morning.

The place we have experienced on the Hawaiian islands
This place is set up to our liking and would be what our own cottage would be. We especially liked the remote setting yet you are minutes away from destination.

very nice place
The property is in a very nice area, and it was pretty clean. I was thankful for all the little extras, like coffee, spices and detergent to wash our clothes. There were also umbrellas for those rainy days. It rained every day we were there, but most of the time it was a light rain. the funny thing is that if you drove 1/2-hour west-towards Kona, it was dry, sunny and warm. The beach-Punu'lu is only 1/2h away. it's worth the visit. overall, a great experience. oh! the volcano park is only 5min. away.
