SEEN ON HGTV -2024--YOUR YEAR to EXPLORE-- Hale Sweet Hale- HOT TUB -Romantic

Don’t miss your chance of a lifetime to see one of the more active and friendly volcanoes in the world. Come stay at Hale Sweet Hale for an UNFORGETTABLE visit to the Big Island. Volcanoes National Park is just 5 minutes away from Hale Sweet Hale and you’ll be amazed at the lush rainforest that surrounds our cedar log house. See the pheasants that roam the yard; the towering hapu’u ferns reach over15 feet towards the sky; and fragrant kalihi ginger bloom throughout the yard.

The charm starts when you turn off the paved road and onto the gravel road . It’s a very short drive on this road as you travel through the lush surroundings, to then be welcomed into a circular driveway surrounded by luscious scenery and a fairy tale cabin.

As you enter Hale Sweet Hale, you’ll be greeted by the spirit of Aloha. Skylights in all the rooms let in the morning sun and the evening moonlight and starlight. The covered lanai expands across the entire back of the home. You can choose to relax in the hot tub, cook on the BBQ without getting wet from the rain, yet enjoying the view, or simply sit with your thoughts deep meditation surrounded by the quiet and serenity nature has to offer.. Or all of the above!! With our Wi-Fi access, you can keep in touch with family and friends. They’ll wish they were there with you!

The kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs. The beds have flannel sheets to keep you warm during cool Volcano nights. For your comfort, there is a towel warmer in the bathroom that keeps your towels cozy warm. End your day (or spend all day) snuggled up by the wood burning stove in the living room.

Come and make your visit to Volcano UNFORGETTABLE.

SOME COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS-

"Absolutely beautiful with ALL the essentials. Loved staying here. Saw 5 pheasants in the driveway. It's a little piece of paradise."

"What a wonderful oasis away from it all!. It was a perfect birthday getaway. The house had everything we needed and was so comfortable and welcoming. We had a visit from the local pheasant family and waking up to the dawn chorus was incredible. I loved watching all the endemic birds frolic in the Ohia Lehua trees out back. What an amazing and magical spot."

"Wow! What a gem this hale has been. We are celebrating our 10 years and had no idea this trip would give us a chance to stay in the most beautiful hale we have ever stayed in. We will definitely keep this one at the top of our list for future trips. Thanks so much for giving us a chance to experience this little slice of heaven."

"Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful home to stay on our amazing vacation in Hawaii. Relaxing among the jungle with the birds and frogs singing to us was the perfect way to relax. The hot tub was such a lovely way to unwind after the days of exploring. We appreciate your generosity and will alway remember our incredible stay here."

"What a wonderful place to come and stay for three nights and soak in the amazing scenery of luch greenery and Volcanoes National Park. Many days spent hiking with a break to relax at this cozy cottage- hot tub, grilled cheese and soup, only to head back out to see the lava at night. Thanks for the firewood and sharing your lovely home with us. We had an amazing time. Until next time...Mahalo."

"Thanks for the HGTV preview prior to booking. Just as charming in person! Perfect location ti see the highlights of the area without having to drive for hours. We especially appreciated how spotless your home is, the wonderful hot tub on cool nights and the fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful home in a beautiful place."

"Thank you for sharing Hale Sweet Hale. Perfect for our 34th anniversary. Meticulously clean and relaxing cabin. Love the art on the walls, hot tub, singing birds, sighing breeze through the ohia and hapu'u. Beautiful place... We'll be back."

"We had a lovely and relaxing stay here for our honeymoon. We used the hot tub every morning after a cup of coffee. On our last morning we saw a beautiful three horned chameleon right off the porch. We are truly saddened to be leaving and hope to make it back here again one day to this magical Hale Sweet Hale."

Beautiful Rainforest Cabin!!
The house was immaculately clean, had all the desired amenities, and the location couldn’t be beat for quick access to scenic highways and Volcanoes National Park! The owner was responsive, friendly, and helpful! We would absolutely stay here again!

cozy paradise
We loved staying at Hale Sweet Hale. Volcano is a lovely place and the wood cabin was so cozy and warm. It was perfect after four nights camping backcountry in HVNP. You are only a 6-minute drive from the park visitor centre and Volcano House (which had nice food, btw). This allowed us to do some day hikes in the park before sunset when the whole place is quite empty. This was our third time to HVNP. There's no shortage of things to do in the area. We visited Black Sand Beach one morning to snorkel with turtles and, on another day, we drove around Puna District to see the 2018 flow impacts. The home is delightful. It's welcoming and full of Hawaiian textiles and art. The hot tub and wood stove were exactly what we needed. The kitchen is fitted out well and we were able to clean our hiking clothing with the washer and dryer. The garden is lovely. Eating meals on the back deck to birdsong was perfect. As the host instructions will indicate, there are not a ton of grocery options in Volcano or at the KMC General Store in the park so stock up before you leave Kona. It's a 25 min drive to the Foodland in Keaau. We recommend a stay at this lovely place and will definitely return.

very nice place
The property is in a very nice area, and it was pretty clean. I was thankful for all the little extras, like coffee, spices and detergent to wash our clothes. There were also umbrellas for those rainy days. It rained every day we were there, but most of the time it was a light rain. the funny thing is that if you drove 1/2-hour west-towards Kona, it was dry, sunny and warm. The beach-Punu'lu is only 1/2h away. it's worth the visit. overall, a great experience. oh! the volcano park is only 5min. away.

A Unique and Pleasant Alternative
We stayed at Hale Sweet Hale for a week in February, 2024. The cabin feels secluded and you feel part of the tropical landscape whether you are relaxing on the back porch, in the hot tub, or inside. It was a pleasant change of pace from the bustling Kona Coast. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedroom was comfortable. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing get away on the Big Island.

This house is super comfortable, cozy, and clean with gorgeous decor. Rules were strict, which is understandable, but possibly could have been stated in a more welcoming way. I would definitely stay there again & recommend it to others.

Better than listed, in private rain forest!
We loved our stay at Hale Sweet Hale, and found the rental even better than the listing. The house was immaculate, the bedding was super comfortable, and all provisions from night lights to tea and coffee were available. We hadn’t comprehended that we would really be in our own private rain forest - the grounds are absolutely beautiful! The art work and decorations throughout the house give an island ambiance, even at 4000 ft. We went to the park two days and it was less than a 5 minute drive to the entrance, again, even shorter than expected. This allowed us to beat the crowds, as many of the parking lots for the popular areas of the park were full by 10am (we were there the week after Christmas, during high season). It also let us stay in the park later than others, since we had no drive to get home. The second bedroom with twin beds was perfect for our 8 and 6 year old. As mentioned elsewhere, the last little bit of the road is rock/dirt, and with it raining quite a bit the two days we were there, we felt comfortable going through large puddles with our Jeep Wrangler, but I’m not sure how comfortable I would have been with a lower clearance car. It was our first time staying in Volcano, and it was cute, with good food. We enjoyed both the Oleho Cafe and Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant for dinners. We would definitely stay here again for any visits to the National Park!

Volcano Paradise Hideaway
If you love crowded resorts, this might not be the place for you. We enjoyed our meals on the lanai listening to a symphony of birds. A soak in the hot tub after hiking in the park was such a treat. The owner spared nothing making sure we’d be comfortable. Bedding, towels and blankets in abundance. Unlike other homes we’ve rented, the wood stove fireplace was stocked with plenty of wood for a cozy fire. Yes, it gets cool enough in Volcano for a fire! Hawaii? Lake Tahoe? You won’t be sure except that you’re in the middle of a lush fern forest. Don’t let the unpaved road warning concern you unless your rental car is a Corvette. It’s short and completely manageable. Thank you for all the special touches throughout the home and lanai.
