Volcano Acres Ranch B&B

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.

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.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay in the Ohia room. The room was clean, and the kitchen and bathroom had everything you’d need (and more)! We enjoyed all the animals and the tranquil atmosphere. We also enjoyed the breakfast each morning. It was delicious and portions were large. The papaya was amazing! Theresa is a fantastic host. Clearly works hard to make her guests feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, natural, reasonably-priced place to stay near the volcanoes, this place is great!!

Theresa is a very pleasant person and it is wonderful to be able to spend the night on her property.

It was ok. We would not stay here again.

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.

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.

My favorite place to visit when I am on the big island. Theresa is an outstanding host and works hard to make you comfortable. Very peaceful. Makes for a great getaway stay. Winery, golf course, and of course the Volcano is very close by.
