~ About the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park ~ Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, now taking a pause, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors' views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.
Over half of the park is designated wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.
The National Park Web site provides up-to-date information, tours, and hiking trails.

I looked quite a bit to find the perfect place to stay in volcano, and I’m happy to say I think I picked the best home on the listings. Peggy the host was very accommodating, and responded very quickly to any queries.She definitely put a lot of personal touches in the home, from the fresh fruit, and the fresh flowers, and anything I needed (amenities) and more was available to make my stay more comfortable.It is a beautiful home, with a very secluded and tranquil location with a tremendous amount of privacy, but still very close to the volcanoes national Park. Wish I had more time there to enjoy everything the place had to offer.
The most magical place! The garden and the house and the Tranquility are all you need in this part of the world. Host was absolutely incredible, super responsive, and just a delight to work with. If you’re looking at this and the dates match, just push play!

A Gorgeous Retreat
This was our first time staying at Pele’s Secret Garden. The property’s interior and exterior and the location were all five star. Property was extremely well kept, furnishings up to date. Peggy was timely and on point with her communications. We had everything we needed to make this an extremely enjoyable stay. We definitely plan to stay again.
It was a luxurious place to fall asleep surrounded by the sounds of Coqui.We had a very wonderful time.

Rainforest retreat
The home was easy to find but felt secluded in the rainforest. Very convenient to stores, restaurants, and Volcanoes Park. Peggy was a great host with coffee provided, plenty of kitchenwares, towels, and blankets. Very thoughtful with umbrellas, flashlights, and even a basket full of warm socks by the door. I would definitely stay here again!

A Pleasant Rainforest Immersion
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pele's Secret Garden. With all the of the windows we felt completely immersed in the rainforest yet were cozy and warm with a fire each night. We didn't even need to leave the house for birdwatching. Morning coffee on the lanai was a pleasure, soaking in the peace and quiet. It was as comfortable as staying at your best friends' home. Peggy was easy to communicate with and treats her guests well. She exudes the true Aloha spirit. We will be back!

Incredible location, home, and hospitality
I can't give enough praise to how incredible of a time we had in this home thanks to the secluded and private location, incredible interior, and some of the best hospitality I've experienced from Peggy. For anyone who needs two bedrooms (and a very comfortable couch) for a visit to Volcano National Park and the surrounding area, this is one of the best places you can find.If you can get lucky with clouds and moonlight, the stargazing from the front yard was nearly just as good as at Mauna Kea!

This property is not your typical VRBO!!I have stayed in over a dozen VRBOS Several in the islands and they were all nice but this place was furnished and decorated as if no one but the owner was staying here. The art work and the details were like you were in an art gallery.Anything and everything you need is there!! The place and the grounds were gorgeous beautiful setting in a tropical rain forest!! Perfect location for the Volcano National Park. I will stay here again when I come back to this side of the big island!! No need to look for any other place you would be wasting your time!! I sent a several messages to my host and always responded with kindness in less than a minute . I would hive it more than 5 stars if I could!!!Thank you so much for sharing your place!!

Beautiful serene oasis
This is one of the most peaceful places that we have ever stayed in. We sat on the covered porch, listening to the rain filter through the leaves. It was absolutely silent at night, even when we had the screen doors open to the night.Peggy was wonderful and sharp to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.One note: we did not see any grocery stores. There are a couple nearby general stores with some food. Bring your food from Hilo which has every store possible
