About this cottage rental


Serenity, peace, and rejuvenation await you at this private cottage on a half-acre of upcountry rainforest. Lazy Lehua Cottage is for quiet or adventurous couples, small families, honeymooners, artists, poets, musicians, scientists, and writers. The native birds sing while you enjoy your early morning tea or coffee. Settle into a hammock chair on one of three lanais among the Hawaiian Hapu'u ferns, flowering indigenous Ohi’a Lehua trees, and scented ginger. Breathe in the cool, fresh, and pristine night air under stars and clouds without overhead street lights, before retiring to possibly the best sleep you’ve ever had.

Lazy Lehua Cottage is located only 2 miles from restaurants, galleries, winery, golf course, and Sunday Famers’ Market in Volcano Village. The Village is an enclave of artists, National Park rangers, and scientists, near the Island’s Eastside with its hiking trails, waterfalls, fresh water pools, and black sand beaches.

Explore the world-famous Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, just 3.6 miles from the cottage. In the Hawaiian language, ‘mana’ means spiritual energy and healing power. The Park is filled with Mana! You may sense it as you trail-run or hike through the forests and steaming craters, traverse the giant lava tube, or witness new land being created at the Kilauea caldera— one of the only places in the world where this occurs. Also, check out Punalu’u beach within a 45-minute drive-- the Big Island’s most famous black sand beach where endangered sea turtles swim, rest, and lay eggs. If good coffee is your obsession, take a tour at the Ka'u Coffee Mill in Pahala and see how coffee is grown, milled, and roasted. And, of course, visit old historic downtown Hilo (45-minutes away), as well as the magical Hawai’i Tropical Botanical Garden, with its epic coastline and rare flora.

Later you can restore your sore muscles in the master bedroom jetted tub overlooking the rainforest outside your window-- exactly what’s needed after your day of exploration on the Big Island. Like a young pup, you’ll feel rejuvenated and ready for more adventures!

Lazy Lehua Cottage was constructed in 2004 with respect for the aina (land). Trees were hand-cut and the property was cleared in a minimally invasive manner. Trees removed from the site were recycled into the cottage’s posts and railings to blend in with the rainforest. Select cottage furniture was hand crafted— the coffee table, bar top, and bedroom headboard were all made with local, exotic, and native woods. The cottage has been maintained with immaculate and loving attention and we know you will feel its special mana when you are here.



Note: We have always been recognized for our meticulous maintenance. Because your safety and comfort are our top priorities, our cleaning and sanitizing procedures comply with guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA). We remain committed to making your stay at the Lazy Lehua Cottage safe, relaxing, and enjoyable.

Beautiful, private, perfect place to see the east side of the big island . After a day of venturing out, loved returning to the peacefulness and cool breezes of the cottage . Fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable bed. Would love to stay here again in the future.

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights as part of a larger anniversary trip. This house was everything we could have asked for. You can tell the owners love this house and use it often themselves. It’s very well stocked, clean, and well taken care of. The house is in a neighborhood but the thick rainforest gives you a ton of privacy. The whole house is very comfortable and all 3 decks are lovely to hang out and have a cup of coffee or a beer. The location is so convenient to Volcanos National Park, literally 5 min away.

This was one of the most unique and wonderful VRBO accommodations that we have stayed in. We have stayed in this area twice before. This was a very quiet location in the forest area very near Volcano. (The tree frogs do sing at night, but we enjoy them). Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee beans and grinder made great coffee, and we were able to cook fresh fish and Macnut pancakes without driving to a restaurant. The bed was comfortable, and plenty of blankets were provided, as it gets cool at night. The host also notified us that the lava had broken through during second the night. We drove back to the park (another advantage—very short drive to Hawaii Volcanoes Park) that evening, but it had stopped flowing, so there wasn’t a glow. But, since it was such a short drive, it was not a big deal. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful. They have a very large rainfall storage tank, and good hot water heater, so water was plentiful and hot when needed. Even though we are in our 70’s the stairs in the home were not difficult for us. But, a grab bar near the jacuzzi tub would have helped 😜 For those blessed enough to enjoy this property, we recommend: get groceries in Hilo before driving up, and note there is not a washer/dryer in the house. We went into Hilo to a very nice, clean laundromat near downtown, Downtown Laundry Express. Then make sure to try Kula Shave Ice on Mamo Street and pick up fresh fruits and vegetables at the Farmers Market close by. You will not regret staying here!

My two children (ages 10 and 13) and I just spent five nights at Lazy Lehua, and we all loved it! It was a perfect set up for us, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. This is a lovely property in a magical place - clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located to be an ideal jumping off point for park exploration. Stacey was friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We made many wonderful memories and we all sad to leave. We hope to return one day!

We had visited Volcanoes NP 22 years ago. We decided to make a return visit, ending in Kona. The home was just as described-charming. It was very comfortable and provided a perfect place to relax when the weather became too rainy and windy. And being just minutes from the Park made it very convenient. We could not have picked a better place to stay. Mahalo!
