+This is a bed and breakfast. It is in a great location to see the west and southern end of the island. The owner was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in every aspect of our stay. The food/breakfast was great.
“Feel like a local”
+You truly experience local Hawaii on this stay from a B&B tucked away with an innkeeper who wants to share her home and Hawaii with you...

“This is a quiet Bed & Breakfast”
+The Lava Tree Tropical Inn is a wonderful little Bed & Breakfast just beyond the entrance of the Lava Tree State Park. The host grows her own fruit, makes her own yogurt and shares stories of her years there. We enjoyed our room, but be aware there is no air condition (fans in room) and some rooms share a hall bathroom. We enjoyed breakfast on the back porch and visiting with other guests. Walking the property is a wonderful early morning activity while enjoying the many native plantings (photo op). Chickens provide fresh eggs! Host has a local map and is willing to help with recommendations for the area. Enjoyed it!
“An International Oasis and Gathering Place”
+From sharing breakfast with visitors from Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Canada, to playing ukulele with Hungarian proprietress, Irene, in the evening - this Pahoa hideaway is a must stay.

“beautiful, comfortable setting”
+thanks to GPS we had a hard time finding the inn at night, we did manage to get there and were greeted by our most gracious host Irene! she made us feel right at home and treated all guests with a great breakfast every morning. The inn grounds are beautiful and secluded enough to induce tranquility nd relaxation and only minutes away from a variety of dining choices, some shoppping and sight seeing. My partner and I were delighted with the fabulous experience Irene and Charlie have created away from all the tourist hustle and bustle. We would most definitively choose Lava Tree Inn again!!

“Lava Tree Tropic Inn - Stay in Paradise”
+Lava Tree Tropic Inn was a perfect Bed & Breakfast and Irene was a wonderful host. We called her a few days before our trip to tell her that we would arrive quite late and she assured us that it was not a problem, she emailed us all the direction and information that we need to get to her house. We arrived after midnight and she was there to welcome us. The house is a few miles from Pahoa and a few miles from the ocean and beaches. It was beautiful with plenty of trees, tropical foliage and beautiful flowers. We stayed in the Orchid suite, which was lovely, clean and spacious with a beautiful stained glass window and a private bathroom with Jacuzzi. We were there for a week and every morning we enjoyed our breakfast with beautiful Hawaiian music; we had fruit juice, beautiful platter of various tropical fruits, yogurt, delicious granola/oatmeal, bread with homemade jam. We also lucky that Irene's chickens laid eggs while we were there so we had omelette 3 mornings, and quiche/spinach pie for another 4 mornings and of course we had a lot of excellent coffee. Breakfast was a relaxation Hawaiian style so we took our time to enjoy and converse with other guests. Irene was very friendly
“Little gem in Pahoa”
+I stayed five nights at the Lava Tree Tropical Inn and I would have stayed much longer if I could have had! Breakfast was served on the patio in front of coconut trees, ananas plants, tropical flowers and more. Irene made a point in serving us an abondant breakfast every morning with homemade bread, local honey, homemade yogurt, tropical fruits from her garden, omelettes made with her hens' eggs, granola, homemade tropical fruit juice and more. The room was just lovely, calm, airy and relaxing and the B&B itself is just a stone throw from the Lava Tree State Monument Park which is just beautiful. From there, you have easy and quick access to the hot pond and tidepools and the Maku'u farmers' market on Sunday morning or uncle Robert on Wednesday night. If you're up for some lava viewing you're also 20 min away from Kalapana and the parking lot where the adventure begins! What I'm trying to say is that Irene has been a fantastic host, in a fantastic house hidden in the middle of a big lush garden, a short trip away from all the best activities you can find on Big Island!
“Unique and fantastic location, owner & breakfasts”
+An amazing place to stay, luscious and peaceful forest garden location, wonderful home cooked breakfast and freshly picked fruit and Irene the owner is very friendly and helpful.
“Helpful lady and beautiful forest”
+The house is quite big and in the middle of nature. We had a personal problem and Irene helped resolve it. She also told us a lot about the Island and places to visit. The breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared. Thanks again Irene for everything!
