“Every detail has been thought of!
You really feel like you have your own private jungle bungalow.”

Rachael – Guest from Colorado

Nestled into native rainforest just a mile from the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park entrance, the architect-designed At the Crater’s Edge is a peaceful alternative to hotel lodging.

At the Crater’s Edge is a boutique inn offering two private, elegantly designed suites —each featuring a king canopy bed, cozy fireplace, spa-inspired bathroom, and private lanai. Wake to birdsong and fresh banana bread, unwind in the forest hot tub, and fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the rainforest.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a peaceful base for adventure, or a quiet celebration, this haven invites you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

"Special Details All Around"

The hosts were very accommodating and it was great to take a dip in the spa after a long day in Volcano Natl. Park. The bed was a dream and we loved the architecture. Everything is thoughtful in this stay from a prepped fridge, fresh fruit and lovely banana bread. Perfect!

"Deserves SIX Stars!"

Dynamite location, secluded and private but minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes Nat’l Park. Gorgeous room, incredibly generous amenities (fruit, coffee, pastries, drinks, snacks), spectacular hot tub, jacuzzi tub, romantic setting, and they’ll do laundry for you. Wow 🤩 The hosts are so friendly, with plenty of local knowledge. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we’d planned for longer!

"One of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island"

This property is full of luxurious amenities and thoughtful touches like fresh flower garnishes, heated floors, french pressed coffee in the mornings and many more for you to discover. The location is a very short drive to Volcanoes National Park and the property itself is surrounded by lush rainforest plants and wild chickens. The stargazing at night here is epic. The room is also very private and comfortable for couples - absolutely suitable for a honeymoon or other romantic trip.

“Close proximity to the volcano…we heard the singing frogs. We had everything we could need in our room!”

"Absolutely Stunning"

Nestled in the rainforest, the October evenings and mornings were cool and crisp, and quiet, but teeming with sounds of wildlife. We were provided with tasty pastries and fruit for our stay. In the daytime, we ventured to the black sand beaches, Kilauea, a farmer’s market, and nearby towns. We absolutely loved our room, which had a fireplace, very comfortable beds, small kitchenette, and good supply of local snacks, local non-alcoholic beverages, and french press coffee and teas. Our stay at Crater’s Edge was the highlight of our Hawaii vacation.
