“Tropical retreat adjacent to Volcanoes National Park.”
+This property is a gem. Our kid loved sleeping on the lanai/sunroom. The suite was spacious, beds were comfortable. The whole space was very clean, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious. The proximity to the National park was ideal. We stayed in the Punawai Hale. We loved it.

+The accommodations were terrific, a great value in superb location for visiting Volcanoes National Park and Hilo area. Spacious, comfortable beds. Host was very accommodating by offering to deliver to-go breakfasts as we had an early morning flight. I recommend the Lanikai Brewing Co for dinner if you stay here- the best food we ate in Hawaii for adults and kids- also great beer and excellent cocktail lists with low-key come as you are feel (i.e. sweatpants).
+Great B&B! Owner had prompt communication and provided several helpful tips. Loved having an our own private Hale which was outfitted with all the essentials including comfortable King bed. Kitchenette had mini-fridge with freezer. toaster-oven & microwave, coffee & tea in the room plus custom ordered breakfast (egg sandwich, omelette, or waffles) that came with a delicious papaya fruit bowl delivered to the room. We enjoyed being on the edge of town. So quiet!! And, only 10mins to Volcanos Nat Park which was excellent location when the eruption started at 2am!! This is a mini-ranch with many adorable animals( ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, donkey etc) You can even arrange to feed them. If you’re not an animal lover, be aware, but we really enjoyed the rural setting and watching all the critters while eating breakfast. We even had a goat kid on the hood of our car one morning. So cute! There’s a large manual gate to maneuver as you drive in & out and also a stone/dirt driveway which could be challenging for anyone with walking instability. We loved everything about our stay at Volcano Acres Ranch!
+I had a really great experience at this B&B on a beautiful ranch, the host was incredibly accommodating, even with my last minute booking. She was out of town and made sure everything was ready upon our arrival and that we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond. She even shared with me where she purchased some of the beautiful decorations, which I really appreciated. The place was clean, stylish and comfortable... I would definitely stay here again!
+Unique farmhouse property with a lovely sunporch overlooking the pond and farm. Surrounded by friendly goats and assorted geese, ducks, chickens, roosters, farm cats and a pig nicknamed “Vlad the Destroyer”. Great freshly-made breakfasts, too.
+Theresa is an amazing host at an incredible property. It was great to interact with the animals. She helped us understand how to see the volcano eruption and even went out of her way to wake up other guests to be sure they didn't miss it. She has thought of everything including "junk" towels to clean up shoes after hiking. The breakfasts were delicious, and the papaya boats were excellent. The location near the volcano is convenient too. Excellent. Planning my return trip already
+We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for our family, and even our often sulky teenager had big smiles every time he interacted with any of the animals on the property! Thank you to the host!
+Understanding this is a working farm we did not expect it to be 5 star. However, when we opened the door it was very musty and smelled like no one had been in there for quite some time. The bedding felt like it was not entirely clean either plus the 2nd night found what appeared to be mice droppings in our daughter's bed. Also the rooster started saying good morning at 1am, then 3am and 5am. The breakfast was basically ordered from a to go place and was below average in our opinion. From the description we thought it was home made with fresh juice, etc....very far from that. Overall, this may be good for some people but we would not stay here again. Also, never met the host which is odd at a B&B.
“Great Bed and Breakfast”
+A nice, clean property with a great location! The beds were very comfortable, and we liked having breakfast brought to our room. The papaya bowls were especially great! The host's suggestions about the surroundings area was spot on.
+Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the animals and the environment.
