Volcano Acres Ranch B&B

Great B&B! Owner had prompt communication and provided several helpful tips. Loved having an our own private Hale which was outfitted with all the essentials including comfortable King bed. Kitchenette had mini-fridge with freezer. toaster-oven & microwave, coffee & tea in the room plus custom ordered breakfast (egg sandwich, omelette, or waffles) that came with a delicious papaya fruit bowl delivered to the room. We enjoyed being on the edge of town. So quiet!! And, only 10mins to Volcanos Nat Park which was excellent location when the eruption started at 2am!! This is a mini-ranch with many adorable animals( ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, donkey etc) You can even arrange to feed them. If you’re not an animal lover, be aware, but we really enjoyed the rural setting and watching all the critters while eating breakfast. We even had a goat kid on the hood of our car one morning. So cute! There’s a large manual gate to maneuver as you drive in & out and also a stone/dirt driveway which could be challenging for anyone with walking instability. We loved everything about our stay at Volcano Acres Ranch!

It's a little disconcerting when you're told you'll be "in the barn", particularly when there's a covered car in front of it. Never fear, the unit was lovely with a comfy super-king bed with a heated mattress pad to chase away any chill. We managed to spend two rainy cold days there so the propane fireplace was welcome and made it cozy. What a surprise to find the pond just outside our covered lanai the next morning. Truly unique and perfectly placed to drive to Volcano National park.

Great place to stay. It was fun to see the animals on the property. The breakfast was delicious and had several options. We stayed in the cabin and it was very well equipped, even had a great toilet and shower. The cabin itselt was complete with a comfortable bed and warm covers and a large quantity of flashlights. During cloud-free nights, the sky is illuminated with stars.

It was very clean, nicely decorated room. Breakfast was yummy. The goats were adorable. Just be aware that the animals will be immediately outside your door if you stay next to the barn. We liked that, though. Fun place to stay with a kid.

I don't usually write a lot of reviews, but I specifically came back to this booking that we had in April of 2022 because I've thought about it so much since that stay. This was possibly the most unique setting I've ever had the pleasure of staying at; this was a hobby farm filled with free-range animals that wandered all over the grounds. The portion the owner uses as a visitor space is a wonderful little apartment attached to one of their outbuildings. It had views of the pond and all the animals, yet we felt completely left alone (in a good way!) We had a wonderful night's sleep away from the bustle of town. If you're looking for a unique experience in Hilo I'd highly recommend this incredible property. They made us breakfast the following morning and it was wonderful. We only stayed one night so I can't comment on a lot of the hospitality outside of the breakfast we had, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it would all be equally great. Fair warning; there is not much to do in the town of Volcano, so I'd suggest packing snacks and drinks if you're planning to stay for more than a few days. One other fair warning: This is in the rain forest; you may encounter muddy terrain so be careful if you have a cheapo rental car. We had a Jeep and had no issues. If you want a really neat experience with good hosts, don't hesititate to book this property.

Super comfortable and well appointed room in a delightful setting near Volcanoes National Park. The barn yard animals roaming the grounds were delightful!

We had such a wonderful stay in the Lehua Retreat cabin. Accommodations were beyond our expectations and feeding and interacting with the animals was such a special treat for the kids. The property is beautiful and peaceful and just what we needed. Theresa went above and beyond to provide a pack and play for my 1 year old, and even cut up our breakfast fruit extra small for the little ones. Breakfast was hot and delicious and such a treat for us as our first stay at a B&B. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes the farm/ranch vibes, and great for families with small kids too. Convenient location only 10 minutes from Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park.

It simply was amazing. A tranquil retreat after a day in the National Park. We stayed in the barn. Very spacious and a sun room overlooking the pond and animals. Highly recommend

This place was great, but not for everyone. You need to be comfortable with being on a farm, with farm animals running wild. If you are this homey, rustic, comfortable stay is for you. We loved it for our two night stay. Great breakfast, gas fireplace/heater and private porch area overlooking a lake with chickens and ducks. Would stay here again. It was a unique experience. I'm glad we found this place.

Unique farmhouse property with a lovely sunporch overlooking the pond and farm. Surrounded by friendly goats and assorted geese, ducks, chickens, roosters, farm cats and a pig nicknamed “Vlad the Destroyer”. Great freshly-made breakfasts, too.

A nice, clean property with a great location! The beds were very comfortable, and we liked having breakfast brought to our room. The papaya bowls were especially great! The host's suggestions about the surroundings area was spot on.

I had a really great experience at this B&B on a beautiful ranch, the host was incredibly accommodating, even with my last minute booking. She was out of town and made sure everything was ready upon our arrival and that we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond. She even shared with me where she purchased some of the beautiful decorations, which I really appreciated. The place was clean, stylish and comfortable... I would definitely stay here again!

Understanding this is a working farm we did not expect it to be 5 star. However, when we opened the door it was very musty and smelled like no one had been in there for quite some time. The bedding felt like it was not entirely clean either plus the 2nd night found what appeared to be mice droppings in our daughter's bed. Also the rooster started saying good morning at 1am, then 3am and 5am. The breakfast was basically ordered from a to go place and was below average in our opinion. From the description we thought it was home made with fresh juice, etc....very far from that. Overall, this may be good for some people but we would not stay here again. Also, never met the host which is odd at a B&B.

We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for our family, and even our often sulky teenager had big smiles every time he interacted with any of the animals on the property! Thank you to the host!

Breakfast to our room daily was a big treat! The room was large and had more amenities than any other place we have stayed at. Theresa is a great host!

If only we could have stayed longer! We had booking the glamping unit, but because of water issues Theresa switched us to the Bungalow, which was so cosy. She agreed alternative breakfast arrangements as we had to leave early on checkout. We only had time to meet the chickens and ducks at the doorstep, but we saw the donkey and goats sheltering from the rain! I would definitely recommend staying here if you're making a trip to Volcano NP.

The accommodations were terrific, a great value in superb location for visiting Volcanoes National Park and Hilo area. Spacious, comfortable beds. Host was very accommodating by offering to deliver to-go breakfasts as we had an early morning flight. I recommend the Lanikai Brewing Co for dinner if you stay here- the best food we ate in Hawaii for adults and kids- also great beer and excellent cocktail lists with low-key come as you are feel (i.e. sweatpants).

Theresa is an amazing host at an incredible property. It was great to interact with the animals. She helped us understand how to see the volcano eruption and even went out of her way to wake up other guests to be sure they didn't miss it. She has thought of everything including "junk" towels to clean up shoes after hiking. The breakfasts were delicious, and the papaya boats were excellent. The location near the volcano is convenient too. Excellent. Planning my return trip already

Theresa met us at the entrance on a drizzly night and escorted us to our room. She spent time sharing local travel logististicts and insigths about Volcanoes National Park. This set us up nicely for our stay.

Nice place to stay in very close range of the Volcano National Park. Our children hat lots of fun with the animals at the farm.

My 7 and 8 year old kids loved this place so much. They named all of the animals and got to run around and have a blast playing with them. The place is very convenient to get to the park and the breakfast was delicious. Our 2 room accommodations worked great for our family of 4. My kids keep asking when we can go back.

This bed and breakfast met and exceeded the expectations of my travel group of 4 ladies. The beds were comfortable. The breakfasts were fresh and tasty. We loved the fresh eggs and fresh fruits. We were able to interact with the animals which was offered as an option, and this was so much fun for our animal lovers. The facility accommodated our request for a last-minute change due to flight difficulties which was over and above what was expected. We definitely recommend this bed and breakfast and hope to visit again.

This was such a unique and pleasurable stay! Super comfortable room, beautiful view, and lots of friendly animals around the property. I loved all the kitties that came out to greet us! The breakfast was delicious, I was a huge fan of the fresh papaya boats. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you’re an early riser and want easy access to Volcano National Park.
