Inn a Volcano
1. Inn a Volcano
11mi from Keaau · 1 site
Stay in a volcano, on a volcano...
Don't let your adventure stop at the national park! Come experience living in a luxurious volcano dome home where you will live in synergy with the natural exquisite surroundings. The cinder we used to build the whole dome comes from the local query produced from big island's natural volcanic features. We promise you'll lava it!
Location and Amenities:
Strategically located-
•19 miles (25 minutes) from Hilo
•23 miles (35 minutes) from Pahoa
•12 miles (15 minutes) from Keaau
•10 minutes from Volcano Town
2 hours from Kona, we recommend flying into Hilo if you book the same day of your flight!
A SUV or jeep is an ideal choice when staying here as the last 500 feet (1 minute of drive time) of the drive is off-road and quite rocky. You will transverse your private entrance passing the Cassandra's (the host's) tiny house. When you arrive you will be greeted by the serene beauty of the jungle. While is isn't 100% private as the host lives next door, we can still promise a peaceful escape from the everyday world. We recommend stopping for snacks in Hilo or Keaau on the way up as those towns have more options than the sleepy Volcano Village.
Important Considerations Before Booking:
As luxurious and adventurous as Inn a Volcano is, staying in an off-grid volcano dome home in the Hawaiian jungle comes with expected 'challenges.' My goal is to give you an experience that combines Tarzan's hideout with a 5-star experience so lets get you prepped!
1. Water Source
•The tap water comes from rain catchment. It is not potable (not for drinking.) We will provide drinking water.
2. Electricity
•We're solar-powered, so please conserve energy. High voltage items like hair dryers or irons are not provided. If you bring these and use them there is a chance that the power will shut off. Please shut off lights when you leave. The windows and a skylight allows ample natural light during the day.
3. Weather
•We are located on the rainy side of the Big Island so be prepared for wet weather. Enjoy the pitter patter of rain like a playlist. Let it relax you, and don't let it dampen your plans.
4. Wildlife
•Since we are in the jungle, don't be shocked if you see bugs and insects such as moths, fruit flies, and mosquitoes.

Welcome to your Off-Grid Paradise.
You can see the bright stars at night, the moon reflect on the ocean, and catch some of the most beautiful sunrises from this side of the island.
You can explore our 11 acre property. There are wild pig trails, a small orchard, various fruiting trees, and more so that you can get in touch with nature and the serenity of the island. That being said you will hear the rustle of palm leaves, tropical birds and coqui frogs at night. The setting is truly beautiful and nurturing with a spacious lawn, fresh tropical fruits and vegetables, caressing breezes and even frequent rainbows. There is a deep sense of peace here.
Our home is centrally located in lower Puna.
*The rustic town of Pahoa is five miles to the north
*The Pacific, tide pools, and natural hot springs are three miles to the south
*There are many intentional communities a few miles from the house: e.g., Hawaiian Sanctuary (yoga, permaculture, and Hawaiian culture)
*The attractions of Hilo are 40 minutes northbound
