Lazy Lehua Cottage


Serenity, peace, and rejuvenation await you at this private cottage on a half-acre of upcountry rainforest. Lazy Lehua Cottage is for quiet or adventurous couples, small families, honeymooners, artists, poets, musicians, scientists, and writers. The native birds sing while you enjoy your early morning tea or coffee. Settle into a hammock chair on one of three lanais among the Hawaiian Hapu'u ferns, flowering indigenous Ohi’a Lehua trees, and scented ginger. Breathe in the cool, fresh, and pristine night air under stars and clouds without overhead street lights, before retiring to possibly the best sleep you’ve ever had.

Lazy Lehua Cottage is located only 2 miles from restaurants, galleries, winery, golf course, and Sunday Famers’ Market in Volcano Village. The Village is an enclave of artists, National Park rangers, and scientists, near the Island’s Eastside with its hiking trails, waterfalls, fresh water pools, and black sand beaches.

Explore the world-famous Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, just 3.6 miles from the cottage. In the Hawaiian language, ‘mana’ means spiritual energy and healing power. The Park is filled with Mana! You may sense it as you trail-run or hike through the forests and steaming craters, traverse the giant lava tube, or witness new land being created at the Kilauea caldera— one of the only places in the world where this occurs. Also, check out Punalu’u beach within a 45-minute drive-- the Big Island’s most famous black sand beach where endangered sea turtles swim, rest, and lay eggs. If good coffee is your obsession, take a tour at the Ka'u Coffee Mill in Pahala and see how coffee is grown, milled, and roasted. And, of course, visit old historic downtown Hilo (45-minutes away), as well as the magical Hawai’i Tropical Botanical Garden, with its epic coastline and rare flora.

Later you can restore your sore muscles in the master bedroom jetted tub overlooking the rainforest outside your window-- exactly what’s needed after your day of exploration on the Big Island. Like a young pup, you’ll feel rejuvenated and ready for more adventures!

Lazy Lehua Cottage was constructed in 2004 with respect for the aina (land). Trees were hand-cut and the property was cleared in a minimally invasive manner. Trees removed from the site were recycled into the cottage’s posts and railings to blend in with the rainforest. Select cottage furniture was hand crafted— the coffee table, bar top, and bedroom headboard were all made with local, exotic, and native woods. The cottage has been maintained with immaculate and loving attention and we know you will feel its special mana when you are here.



Note: We have always been recognized for our meticulous maintenance. Because your safety and comfort are our top priorities, our cleaning and sanitizing procedures comply with guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA). We remain committed to making your stay at the Lazy Lehua Cottage safe, relaxing, and enjoyable.

The cottage was actually better than expected! Great location right near the park entrance and in a secluded and beautiful jungle neighborhood. The cottage was super clean and very well stocked. There were lots of small details that made it feel very welcoming and very well cared for. Our family of 4 was very comfortable there. Would very happily stay again!

The Lazy Lehua Cottage is a special place in a beautiful and calm neighborhood that is well taken care of. Many little details show that the owners care about their guests and don't just see them as paying customers. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't want to go on day excursions!

Stayed during Christmas break. Great place, very cozy! The gas fire places throw just enough heat for the chilly winter nights. The kids really liked the bunk beds under the stairs, and the jacuzzi tub. The host left bath bombs and snacks for them. I liked drinking coffee in the hammock chairs in the morning.
