SEEN on HGTV- 2024 YOUR YEAR to EXPLORE- Aloha Sweet Hale-HOT TUB-Peaceful


Come stay at ALOHA SWEET HALE- Distinctively the Best in Volcano Village. Experience the beauty of the Volcano Village rainforest as well as all the comforts of home.

Don’t miss your chance of a lifetime to see one of the more active and friendly volcanoes in the world. Aloha Sweet Hale is a mere 5 minutes away from Volcanoes National Park. A custom cedar log home completed in 2013, with manicured lush surroundings -hapu’u ferns over 15 feet high reaching up to the sky, fragrant kalihi ginger and an abundance of hydrangeas of various colors throughout the yard.

Our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home offers all of the comforts of home and then some. Beds have flannel sheet to keep you warm on cool Volcano nights; a towel warmer in both bathrooms has your towel ready for a warm hug; skylights in each room lets in the morning sun to get you ready for your day of adventure and the moonlight and starlight at night for a view not visible in the city. The fully equipped kitchen lets you dine in or you can BBQ on the lanai, if you choose. Snuggle up with that someone special by the wood burning fireplace.

The covered lanai extends across the entire back of the home. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy your meals outdoors and the beauty of your surroundings. The relaxing hot tub on the covered lanai welcomes you after a busy day of adventure.

Come stay in a truly Hawaiian setting and let the Spirit of Aloha touch your soul.

We have a 2 night minimum stay so you may enjoy your vacation at this lovely home and Volcano Village!

Since we are in a rural secluded location, we have 3 outdoor security cameras .Two in the front: one to monitor the parking area and the other to monitor the front door.

Your stay at ALOHA SWEET HALE will be 'DISTINCTIVELY the BEST in VOLCANO '.

Patterson Family Review
This property was so peaceful. We enjoyed hearing the birds and sitting in the jacuzzi at night. The home was immaculate and beautiful. The beds were so comfy and we will stay here again in the future. If you need a relaxing place to unwind near Volcanic National Park and Hilo, this place is for you!

Great place to stay in Volcano
Our group of 4 adults enjoyed our stay here while exploring Volcano National Park. The home is quiet and feels secluded but is close to the park entrance and restaurants/activities. The house was clean and well kept. Would absolutely stay here again if in the area!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was well stocked, clean and overall a great little place. The location gave us great access to Volcanoes National Park, Hilo and the southern region of the island all while being quiet and secluded. Shirley was very responsive to any questions we had.

Beautiful cabin in the rain forest
We are so glad we stayed in this remote part of the island. This cabin was clean, neat and cozy for the two nights we stayed. We enjoyed the hot tub at night listening to nature. It was just a short few minutes drive to the Volcano visitor center. The beds were comfortable and our family of 5 felt at home. We would stay again when we come back into town.

Really nice place
Great home that is spectacularly clean. Just amazed at how well kept the home is and made for a very comfortable stay. Glad to see plenty of firewood was provided to keep us warm at night and in the morning. Very short distance to Volcano National Park. Highly recommend.

Great stay in Volcano!
The house was exactly as described and was very clean. It is super convenient to Volcanoes National Park. It was so nice not to have a long drive after hiking all day, and the hot tub was a plus. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. My only suggestion would be to add a cooler for taking lunch into VNP.

Beautiful home!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home in the beautiful native Hawaiian rainforest! This home is well stocked with everything you need for the stay and is located just 5 minutes from the National Park. We had a relaxing time sitting on the deck in the morning with coffee and enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The owners are kind and communicative and have maintained a beautiful property. Will stay again!

Rain Forest Retreat
We spent 3 nights in this cabin as the home base for exploring the Hilo side of the island. This property is located minutes from the entrance to the National Park making it perfect for a multi day exploration of the park. It is less than an hour to Hilo. It was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was wonderful after hiking. The yard was beautiful and well maintained. A private botanical garden.

A very special place
We loved the wood stove the landscaping and the quiet relaxing environment. The house was lovely and well thought out. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean and comfortable. My only negative is the appliances seem over worked and loud and could use an upgrade. I understand the need for cameras but the one facing the back door seemed to take in the hot tub and it felt a bit intrusive. Other than that we loved our short stay. Thank you.

Best family vacation accomodations we could ask for
We just spent 4 nights in Aloha Sweet Hale (2 parents, and 3 teens/young adults) and everyone agreed that it was the best family vacation rental we've ever had. The house had everything we needed (comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels, etc.). The outdoor area was beautiful, and the house was close to all of the things we wanted to do on the Big Island, including the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We felt like we were staying in a friend's home, not just a vacation rental.

Wonderful cabin in the fern forest
This was our second stay at this property and we loved every minute of our stay. The cabin is well appointed, clean, and a perfect space to vacation with family and friends. The hot tub is wonderful especially after a day of hiking and the fireplace adds the perfect cozy touch. Shirley sends out timely communication and was quick to respond to my emails. She is a terrific host. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Everything At Aloha Sweet Hale is 5+
Everything about Aloha Sweet Hale is 5+. Our group of boomers and millennials are well traveled and not ones to overstate ratings. All of us thoroughly fell in love with this property. Location can be everything and this one was perfect for privacy to soak in the beauty of the surroundings in the hot tub and proximity to Volcanoes National Park. Fireplace cozy, beds and baths comfy. Can’t think of a thing missing or needing change.

Away from the bustle
Stayed here while bicycling around the Big Island. Great location close to the national park and away from the "bustle" of Volcano yet easy biking to "town" for eating and groceries. A surprising number of good eateries in town. Quiet (except for the birds). Good communication with owner. Nicely appointed and clean. Highly recommended.
