Nestled in a lush native Hawaiian rain forest, Lava House offers an immersive retreat. Relax on the covered patio with ambient music and take in the surreal views of Fissure 8's geothermal heated pockets, surrounded by tropical birdsong and coqui frogs serenading at night.

What's nearby

  • In 1790 a swift moving lava flow leveled the forest here and drained away, leaving behind a new forest of "lava trees". These hollow rock columns were formed when the lava wrapped around the cool tree trunks and quickly solidified. When the molten lava drained away, these rock columns were left standing. The columns are hollow because the tree trunks themselves were incinerated during the process, but only after the rock had cooled enough to hold it's shape. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the texture of the tree bark in the rock molds.

New Year’s Celebration at the Lava House

We had a wonderful time staying over New Years and Mother Earth provided all the energy and ambiance that we needed. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need to relax, drink and prepare food. The contrast of the Fissure 8 lava flow to the lush replanted tropical garden is amazing. The house is off grid but everything ran seamlessly. There are some limitations on where a person can wander on the newly created lava but I think those are probably wise safety issues. We also enjoyed the artsy small town, local feel of Pāhoa and really recommend the Saturday market on the coast at Kalapana. The produce was excellent and very well priced. Checkin was easy and well communicated. Overall a truly unique and memorable experience.

Relaxing and scenic getaway

Overall a pleasant, memorable stay at a very unique location. The check-in process was smooth, with the manager meeting us at the house upon arrival. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Every room was decorated with a special touch and had a beautiful view of the surrounding nature.

Lovely, secluded, peaceful

What a special place. We had a lovely stay in the jungle right in the edge of the majestic fissure 8. It was truly magical, a very memorable and lovely experience for our family. I wish we had stayed longer.

One of a kind experience

We didn't realize just how special this place was until we stayed here and understood how devastated this area was. It was an honor to be able to be in a place that was spared from complete destruction. Our only regret is that we didn't just spend more time sitting at the house and enjoying everything.
