About this property
~Peace and Tranquility in rain-forested Volcano on luxurious property ~
~ Pele’s Secret Garden ~ an amazing experience! My home is registered with the County of Hawaii as a Short Term Vacation Rental STVR-19-346928 NUC-19-329 GE/TAT-037-026-0608-01
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park the the skies blue and the air quality is some of the best on the island. Visit the museum, art gallery, the Volcano House overlooking Hale'mau'mau crater. Take a stroll or a day hike in this vast and beautiful land of Pele. Pele's Secret Garden is in a great and safe location for exploring the east side of the island. Nestled in the heart of the Big Island's oldest Volcanic Rain-forest, and atop world's most active lava field, lies our luxury hideaway of rest, peace and comfort. Two miles from the National Park entrance.
My home is secluded in a lush native Rainforest just 24 Miles South of Hilo, Hawaii, and adjacent to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, at a 3500 feet elevation above sea level, on the slopes of Kilauea, the most active volcano on in the US. Less than 1-hour drive from Hilo to both the Cottage home & Volcano Village.
Relax and unwind … be refreshed by the cool mountain air and embraced by the giant tree ferns, ohia trees and fragrant ginger that creates a lush contrast to the primordial volcanic landscape. Enjoy... Long wrap around Lanais, and quiet sitting areas. Awaken to the Big Island’s cacophony of chirping exotic birds, soft rains and the Sunlight breaking through the clouds.

~ 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.

Host was super communicative and responsive. The home is organized, clean and beautiful. If Volcano National Park is your main attraction, this is the place to stay. Location is perfect. Thank you Peggy, we had a blast!
A beautiful oasis in the middle of Volcano. Peggy made the check-in process a breeze and welcomed us into her cozy home with fresh fruit and flowers. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lovely house to relax after hiking at VNP.
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!
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!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Pele's Secret Garden. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our three night stay. The setting is very peaceful and we loved the beautiful garden. It was easy to get to Volcanoes National Park and nearby restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
the property was better than the pictures shown. it situated in a beautiful lot with greenery all around. the house was furnished with everything we needed. perfect relaxing vacation for my family.
If you want a quiet, well-supplied & comfortable place in the rain forest, you can't go wrong with Peggy's home. It's also very close to restaurants & the national park. We would stay again.
Very comfortable place with everything you need, just like at your own home. We really enjoyed the privacy and waking up to singing birds in the surrounding forest. We were lucky to experiece an eruption episode at the kilauea caldera and being only 5 mins away made visiting it day and night very easy.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful rainforest hideaway near Volcanoes National Park - everything was clean and beautiful, and it had all the conveniences of modern life. Our hostess had great communication and was available throughout our stay in case we needed anything.
Perfect space for us, two couples. It was clean, well stocked, and great communication with the host, and incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We highly recommend this rental.
The home is well furnished and exceeded our expectations. The property is quiet and filled with tropical plants and birds. The host is very responsive and ensures a wonderful experience.
All four of us were very impressed with the TLC the owner gives her property. Such a beautiful home in the rain forest close to Volcano National Park and the village of Volcano.
The owner had fresh fruit for us and various beverages too. We loved staying here, and will definitely try to book again for a future trip.
This felt like home from the moment we arrived. It worked so well as a home base for our days at the amazing National Volcano Park. Flowers, fresh fruit, beautiful artwork, and Peggy’s kindness made it hard to leave. It was the highlight of three weeks touring the islands.
Fantastic location for touring in the Volcanoes NP
House is just a dream! Peggy stocked EVERYTHING you could want and then some. Artwork is impressive, furnishings are perfect, beds are comfortable and window-walls are amazing!
The house is clean and comfortable. Location to Volcano Nat Park excellent. Check in and communication was very good. We did have a little difficulty early on with getting hot water. Not a big deal once we figured it out. Would recommend!
This place was perfect for us. The location was ideal - easily accessible but quiet and private. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed plus some lovely and thoughtful extras. We felt right at home. The host was extremely responsive to our requests. I would stay here again in a minute.
