SEEN ON HGTV -2024--YOUR YEAR to EXPLORE-- Hale Sweet Hale- HOT TUB -Romantic

Don’t miss your chance of a lifetime to see one of the more active and friendly volcanoes in the world. Come stay at Hale Sweet Hale for an UNFORGETTABLE visit to the Big Island. Volcanoes National Park is just 5 minutes away from Hale Sweet Hale and you’ll be amazed at the lush rainforest that surrounds our cedar log house. See the pheasants that roam the yard; the towering hapu’u ferns reach over15 feet towards the sky; and fragrant kalihi ginger bloom throughout the yard.

The charm starts when you turn off the paved road and onto the gravel road . It’s a very short drive on this road as you travel through the lush surroundings, to then be welcomed into a circular driveway surrounded by luscious scenery and a fairy tale cabin.

As you enter Hale Sweet Hale, you’ll be greeted by the spirit of Aloha. Skylights in all the rooms let in the morning sun and the evening moonlight and starlight. The covered lanai expands across the entire back of the home. You can choose to relax in the hot tub, cook on the BBQ without getting wet from the rain, yet enjoying the view, or simply sit with your thoughts deep meditation surrounded by the quiet and serenity nature has to offer.. Or all of the above!! With our Wi-Fi access, you can keep in touch with family and friends. They’ll wish they were there with you!

The kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs. The beds have flannel sheets to keep you warm during cool Volcano nights. For your comfort, there is a towel warmer in the bathroom that keeps your towels cozy warm. End your day (or spend all day) snuggled up by the wood burning stove in the living room.

Come and make your visit to Volcano UNFORGETTABLE.

SOME COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS-

"Absolutely beautiful with ALL the essentials. Loved staying here. Saw 5 pheasants in the driveway. It's a little piece of paradise."

"What a wonderful oasis away from it all!. It was a perfect birthday getaway. The house had everything we needed and was so comfortable and welcoming. We had a visit from the local pheasant family and waking up to the dawn chorus was incredible. I loved watching all the endemic birds frolic in the Ohia Lehua trees out back. What an amazing and magical spot."

"Wow! What a gem this hale has been. We are celebrating our 10 years and had no idea this trip would give us a chance to stay in the most beautiful hale we have ever stayed in. We will definitely keep this one at the top of our list for future trips. Thanks so much for giving us a chance to experience this little slice of heaven."

"Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful home to stay on our amazing vacation in Hawaii. Relaxing among the jungle with the birds and frogs singing to us was the perfect way to relax. The hot tub was such a lovely way to unwind after the days of exploring. We appreciate your generosity and will alway remember our incredible stay here."

"What a wonderful place to come and stay for three nights and soak in the amazing scenery of luch greenery and Volcanoes National Park. Many days spent hiking with a break to relax at this cozy cottage- hot tub, grilled cheese and soup, only to head back out to see the lava at night. Thanks for the firewood and sharing your lovely home with us. We had an amazing time. Until next time...Mahalo."

"Thanks for the HGTV preview prior to booking. Just as charming in person! Perfect location ti see the highlights of the area without having to drive for hours. We especially appreciated how spotless your home is, the wonderful hot tub on cool nights and the fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful home in a beautiful place."

"Thank you for sharing Hale Sweet Hale. Perfect for our 34th anniversary. Meticulously clean and relaxing cabin. Love the art on the walls, hot tub, singing birds, sighing breeze through the ohia and hapu'u. Beautiful place... We'll be back."

"We had a lovely and relaxing stay here for our honeymoon. We used the hot tub every morning after a cup of coffee. On our last morning we saw a beautiful three horned chameleon right off the porch. We are truly saddened to be leaving and hope to make it back here again one day to this magical Hale Sweet Hale."

Simply magical.
Honestly, the hostesses communication was flawless and the property was even better than the listing indicated. My wife and i had the time of our lives. The location felt very secluded and private and the weather was exactly what we needed. Proximity to VNP meant we could hike all day and then relax in the hot tub. Definitely would recommend.

Magic Rainforest
Lovely place tucked back in the vibrant green. This was the perfect place to end the day after exploring the island, very comfortable with every amenity that you need. We were able to pick up some food from the local market for breakfast, and we ate at Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant both nights we were there, it was so good. The hot tub was perfect for the two of us to relax some sore muscles after hiking at the park that is basically across the street from the neighborhood. I loved the rustic, homey feeling of the cabin. It was the perfect size and configuration. And the bed was very comfortable too.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting
This house is super comfortable, cozy, and clean with gorgeous decor. Rules were strict, which is understandable, but possibly could have been stated in a more welcoming way. I would definitely stay there again & recommend it to others.

Homey and quaint gem tucked into the rain forest
This home was charming and unique. It had everything we needed and was so close to Volcano National Park. The heated towel rack in the bathroom and hot tub on the porch were wonderful bonuses!

A Unique and Pleasant Alternative
We stayed at Hale Sweet Hale for a week in February, 2024. The cabin feels secluded and you feel part of the tropical landscape whether you are relaxing on the back porch, in the hot tub, or inside. It was a pleasant change of pace from the bustling Kona Coast. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedroom was comfortable. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing get away on the Big Island.

Lovely isolated retreat
My wife and I enjoyed the time we spent at this cabin. Spent most of our time in Volcano hiking in the national park, and it was located ideally for that plan. Even though it is not completely isolated, it feel as though it is, and has is peacefully quiet, which is something we missed when later visiting other parts of the state. As other reviews mentioned, the only thing to be aware of is the very last few parts of the road right near the site are in pretty bad shape. Was very concerned whenever we had to drive our rental Nissan Altima over these areas. Anything with 4X4 would probably be fine.

Relaxing stay in the rain forest
We had an excellent stay at Hale Sweet Hale. The accommodations are cozy and have everything you need. It’s just a few minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park which is incredible. Shirley made everything super simple and gave great recommendations. A perfect place to park while taking in the beauty of this state.

Great place at a great location
We stayed here for several days with our family of 2 adults and 2 kids and it was perfect for exploring Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, which is only minutes away. The kitchen is well supplied and the outside with its porch and hot tub make for perfect relaxing. You're obviously away from Hilo and Kona, but the nearby basic shops and restaurants did the job for us. Be prepared to hear lots of Coqui frogs and that the bedrooms have bright skylights.
