NEW LISTING 6/2025!<br />Welcome to The Volcano Tea House Cottage 2, located just 6 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The original Tea House was established in 2014, and it inspired us to build and design another Tea House in the same neighborhood. The home has been completely remodeled in 2025, both interior and exterior.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />This is Peace, Relaxation, and Tranquility at its finest!<br /><br />Located just minutes away from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Teahouse Cottage 2 was created with an appreciation for the elegance of Japanese architecture. The interior and exterior of the entire home was completely renovated in 2025.<br /><br />Designed with luxury and privacy in mind, the Teahouse Cottage 2 features a cozy queen bed, fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, and modern bathroom with stone vessel sink and luxury stone decor shower.<br /><br />An outdoor furo hot tub, with seating for two, rejuvenates you at the end of your day after touring. A Japanese Furo (風呂), also known as an ofuro, is a traditional Japanese bathtub designed for soaking and relaxation rather than washing. Unlike Western bathtubs, a furo is deeper and made of cypress wood which retains heat well.<br /><br />Enjoy our provided robe and slippers, spa bath towels, shampoo and conditioner amenities, and rejuvenating bath salts.<br /><br />Unwind with a glass of wine in front of the outdoor fire table. Gaze at the stars from the outdoor hot tub, surrounded by rainforest.

If you have been to other areas of Hawai`i, you will know that some areas are very warm. Volcano has quite a different climate and it is cool here with the crisp air of mountain elevation. Anticipate rain, sun on most afternoons and cooler evening temperatures. It is very uncommon for properties in the area to have air conditioning. With ample doors and windows the air circulates beautifully.<br /><br />Volcano Village is one of the last areas of native rainforest in all of Hawai`i. It is an incredibly special place that we invite you to enjoy and appreciate. Being remotely located, please be prepared that there may be times of slow traffic on our two lane highway. Sometimes limbs fall on our power lines interrupting power service. We keep flashlights, extra batteries, and candles at the unit for these instances. It is not uncommon for local restaurants to be closed, so it is a good practice to check before venturing out. There are two convenience stores and gas stations located in Volcano Village. They both close early, usually at 7pm.<br /><br />Please be aware that Coqui frogs are Volcano residents. They make a chirping sound that is a bit like loud crickets. For light sleepers this may be a bit disruptive; there is a white noise machine in the nightstand, if needed. Volcano Village is a small, forest town on a volcano on an outlying island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Expect the unexpected and you will have a wonderful adventure in a magical place.<br /><br />For drinking water, we have triple filtration and UV sanitation for our eco-friendly rainwater catchment system. Our tap water is safe to drink.<br /><br />Being near the Volcano we are often asked about the activity and any safety concerns. The residential area near the park is considered a low risk lava zone. In the past 100,000 years there has not been a flow recorded in the area of Volcano Village. The active eruption area from the 2018 eruption was in the East Rift Zone, about a 1 hour drive from Volcano Village, near the coast in the Pahoa area. The Mauna Loa eruption of 2022 has concluded with no risk to any inhabited areas. <br /><br />The Kīlauea crater (specifically the Halemaʻumaʻu crater within the summit caldera) has been in an ongoing episodic eruption phase since December 23, 2024. This consists of discrete “episodes” of intense lava fountaining and flows, separated by pauses of days to weeks. As of March 10, 2026, the ongoing summit eruption has had 43 episodes. These episodes represent distinct eruptive pulses at the summit crater (primarily from north and south vents in Halemaʻumaʻu). The eruption is characterized by high lava fountains, lava flows covering parts of the crater floor, and occasional tephra/ash fallout. The frequency has varied, but episodes have occurred roughly every 1–3 weeks on average during much of 2025–2026, with some shorter or longer pauses.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />STVR 19-351734
