Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Setting
Volcano Views! Epic Tiny Home on Lava Field, identified in the property information as The Ohana House, is an off-grid tiny home on the Kalapana lava beds in Lower Puna, near the base of Kīlauea Volcano. Its setting looks out across black lava fields toward the volcano; the property is within a private gated area with other homes and neighbors nearby.
Rooms
The two-bedroom home accommodates up to four guests. The main bedroom has a queen bed and volcano views, while the second bedroom has a bunk bed with two twin beds; there is one bathroom with a rainfall shower. Fresh linens and towels are provided.
Amenities
The home combines off-grid living with electricity, high-speed Wi-Fi, and hot showers. Guests have a kitchen with a microwave and oven/stove, a washer, ironing board, crib, and outdoor grill, as well as a covered lanai, balcony, and patio. Fans are provided, but there is no air conditioning; guests are asked to conserve power and water.
Dining
There is no on-site restaurant listed, but the kitchen supports self-catering. Nearby options named in the property information include Aloha Lava Pizza and Kaimu Korner Pizza, both about 2.2 km away, and Pele’s Kitchen and Kaleo’s Bar & Grill in the Pāhoa area, described as roughly a 17-minute drive.
Around the Property
The home is a short drive from local coastal and community destinations: Uncle Robert’s Awa Bar & Farmers Market is listed as about 7 minutes away, and Kehena Black Sand Beach about 13 minutes away. Pohoiki Black Sand Beach is about 30 minutes by car, while Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is about 58 minutes away. A car is recommended for exploring Lower Puna.
Best for
This property suits travelers looking for a distinctive, remote stay with views of Kīlauea and the surrounding lava fields rather than a conventional hotel setting. Families or small groups of up to four can use the two-bedroom layout, bunk beds, kitchen, crib, and outdoor spaces; guests interested in beaches, markets, and coastal drives will also find several destinations within driving distance.
Travel tips
Plan to have a car: the property is in Lower Puna, and a vehicle is recommended for reaching beaches, markets, restaurants, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Self-check-in uses an access code sent before arrival; parking is shared with the Phoenix House, about 200 yards away. Observe quiet hours from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. and conserve power and water, particularly at night.
