The Big Island offers many unforgettable experiences. Volcano makes for a great place to stay to visit the surrounding area.

Check out Punalu’u beach, the Big Islands most famous black sand beach. Swim in the pristine waters where sea turtles swim, rest and lay their eggs in the beautiful black sand, a 30 minute drive.

You'll be rejuvenated and ready for more adventures.

Lazy Lehua Cottage was lovingly built in 2004. The idea for Lazy Lehua Cottage was to make it a special place for guests to stay and relax. Focus was on putting as much character, charm and soul in to it and making it a whimsical, beautiful place for everyone to enjoy. Trees were hand cut and property cleared only enough to put Lazy Lehua Cottage in its perfect place. The beautiful Ohia trees that unfortunately had to be cut down were used for the posts on the lanais giving it, its whimsical cottage look that blends in well with the rain forest. In keeping in the spirit of whimsical, some of the furniture throughout the cottage was hand crafted; coffee table, bar top and headboard on bed all using local, exotic and native woods. Our property is unique as we use our home often and we visit frequently so it is kept in immaculate condition! We know you'll feel the magical spirit of the house when you stay here.

We have always been recognized for our cleanliness. Because your safety and comfortability are our top PRIORITIES, we have enhanced our cleaning and sanitizing procedures even more. We are following the guidelines set forth by the CDC and AHLA (American Hotel and Lodging Association) for cleaning and disinfecting to ensure a Safe Stay. We will continue to do what it takes to make sure that you remain confident with your choice to enjoy a relaxing and safe stay at Lazy Lehua Cottage.

Amazing getaway!
My husband and I stayed here for a few nights as part of a larger anniversary trip. This house was everything we could have asked for. You can tell the owners love this house and use it often themselves. It’s very well stocked, clean, and well taken care of. The house is in a neighborhood but the thick rainforest gives you a ton of privacy. The whole house is very comfortable and all 3 decks are lovely to hang out and have a cup of coffee or a beer. The location is so convenient to Volcanos National Park, literally 5 min away.

Quiet and unique property
This was one of the most unique and wonderful VRBO accommodations that we have stayed in. We have stayed in this area twice before. This was a very quiet location in the forest area very near Volcano. (The tree frogs do sing at night, but we enjoy them). Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee beans and grinder made great coffee, and we were able to cook fresh fish and Macnut pancakes without driving to a restaurant. The bed was comfortable, and plenty of blankets were provided, as it gets cool at night. The host also notified us that the lava had broken through during second the night. We drove back to the park (another advantage—very short drive to Hawaii Volcanoes Park) that evening, but it had stopped flowing, so there wasn’t a glow. But, since it was such a short drive, it was not a big deal. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful. They have a very large rainfall storage tank, and good hot water heater, so water was plentiful and hot when needed. Even though we are in our 70’s the stairs in the home were not difficult for us. But, a grab bar near the jacuzzi tub would have helped 😜 For those blessed enough to enjoy this property, we recommend: get groceries in Hilo before driving up, and note there is not a washer/dryer in the house. We went into Hilo to a very nice, clean laundromat near downtown, Downtown Laundry Express. Then make sure to try Kula Shave Ice on Mamo Street and pick up fresh fruits and vegetables at the Farmers Market close by. You will not regret staying here!

Mahalo for an exceptional stay!
My two children (ages 10 and 13) and I just spent five nights at Lazy Lehua, and we all loved it! It was a perfect set up for us, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. This is a lovely property in a magical place - clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located to be an ideal jumping off point for park exploration. Stacey was friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We made many wonderful memories and we all sad to leave. We hope to return one day!

Return to Volcanoes National Park
We had visited Volcanoes NP 22 years ago. We decided to make a return visit, ending in Kona. The home was just as described-charming. It was very comfortable and provided a perfect place to relax when the weather became too rainy and windy. And being just minutes from the Park made it very convenient. We could not have picked a better place to stay. Mahalo!

Whimsical Cottage is spot on!! We loved it
This place is the only place you need to stay in Volcano. We loved the "fireplaces", the kitchen, the upstairs bedroom was just precious. We did not use the jacuzzi tub so we cant speak to that. The rain forest was just that and it was nice to stay in for part of our trip and just listen to the rain. Could have stayed longer
