Volcano Home is off grid and situated on 3 acres of untouched Hawaiian Rainforest. Located 1.7 miles down a maintained gravel road (NO 4WD NEEDED), we are at the very back of an Agricultural Community.
Our home is located about 30 minutes from any major restaurants and shopping, so we recommend stopping for groceries and essentials before heading up to the Hale (home).🤙
Grocery & Dining Options:
Hilo (20 miles away): Walmart, Safeway, KTA, Target & Island Naturals (for organic foods).
Kea‘au (closer): Foodland, Kea‘au Natural Foods & several quick dining spots (Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Subway, etc.).
Volcano Village (near the National Park): small market, gas station, restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, a winery, golf course, and farmers markets (Sunday morning & Thursday evening).
Nearby: Hirano Market just outside the neighborhood — groceries and a small breakfast/lunch counter (closes 6pm, lunch counter 2pm).

Volcano Home is 100 % off-grid — powered by solar energy with a backup generator.
🌞 Daytime: plenty of power for all activities.
🌙 Nighttime: you’ll run on batteries — please turn off lights when not in use.
🌧️ Water is provided by collecting Rain.
If it’s been raining all day, the generator may start automatically. Water is plentiful during wet weather; when it’s dry, conservation is appreciated.
You’ll likely find you don't even notice the difference — just the joy of living sustainably and self-reliantly. 🌿
We are proud to offer
FREE SATELLITE WIFI
You can unwind with the knowledge that you are not completely disconnected. Use the Wifi to make phone call/texts, stream movies/music, surf the net and play your favorite online games.
Please double-check that no personal or provided items get packed by accident.
If something breaks or needs replacing, just send us a quick message — we appreciate the heads up so we can prepare for the next guests.
We built this home by hand and filled it with custom furnishings and artwork — we hope you’ll enjoy and care for it as if it were your own. 🌺
We can’t wait to welcome you to our Luxury Off-Grid Rainforest Retreat on the slopes of Kīlauea — the most active volcano in Hawai‘i! 🌋
