This was a beautiful experience. The room and amenities were perfect. The garden was magnificent. The word garden does not adequately describe this beautiful, extensive, floral, exotic experience. Being this close to the National Volcano Park was such a bonus.

Jim is a quick and responsive host. Dropping a pin to us to navigate was quite helpful with spotty internet availability. The studio is a unique and charming space in an unbelievably gorgeous location! The 2 acre rainforest flower gardens have been curated and loved over several decades - what a treasure to share! We will remember this visit forever. Thank you!

Great location tucked away in the jungle, perfect for exploring Hawaii volcanoes national Park. It was safe and secure, and the bed was very comfortable. The electric blankets were a nice touch as it gets quite chilly on the volcano at night. However, it is quite expensive for what you get, especially considering you can stay at the beautiful hotel in the park for not much more. I would have given them 4 stars, however after we left we were charged for a towel that was apparently stained and when I asked for a photo for reference, I did not receive one (I also did not receive a response when I asked, although the owner stated that there was a photograph for reference) and my credit card was charged another 15.
