~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.

All the comforts of home in the rainforest
Pele’s Garden is beautifully furnished and decorated, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is fully stocked with assorted pantry items, coffee beans & grinder, coffee maker and french press. Peggy also provided eggs, butter, and half & half. Although the property is less than a mile from hwy 11, it is VERY dark and lushly vegetated. I loved that there were flashlights. There was even a basket of chunky foot warming stocks. The bathroom showers had professional shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers. The towels were luxurious. The beds were sooo comfortable. We stayed 3 nights. We hope to stay at Pele’s Garden again!

Truly magical
We loved everything about our stay here. Peggy is a very considerate host: when we arrived, we found a tray of bananas, papaya, and pineapple + a well-stocked refrigerator. We loved drinking our morning coffee on the wraparound deck & listening to the whistles of tree frogs in the evening. The photos are beautiful, but the in-person experience is even better.

Beautiful, comfortable home in a lovely setting!
Peggy's home is very well planned, eco-friendly, gorgeous, and includes a generously stocked kitchen. We loved the windows all around looking out into the rain forest. The flowers and fresh fruit inside were a lovely touch and we appreciated the juice, coffee, tea and food items on hand. The beds and living room sofa were comfy and check-in was easy once we realized the door is a slider and stopped trying to pull it open!
