Rainforest setting, one mile from National Park

VOLCANO ~ HAWAII
Welcome to the Garuda Guesthouse!
Nestled in the rich Volcano rainforest, Garuda Guesthouse is a single, special unit for those who want the beauty of a lushly-landscaped environment, enhanced by water ponds with koi and goldfish; abundant anthurium, lush ferns, flowers of yellow, blue, white, and all shades of pink; the song of birds in the morning and the sight of magical stars at night ....and most of all: total, sublime privacy.Our 475-square-foot cottage offers a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom space. There is cable TV and music as well. A slate lanai makes outdoor lounging an elegant event; the lanai posts are made from the ohia trees that were felled in order to build the cottage.

Your house is warmed by a thermostatically controlled propane fireplace; it is cooled by Nature. A large slate bathroom has a double shower with sky-lite and huge window looking into the forest. Wood floors throughout the cottage are ohia, Volcano's most familiar tree; when in bloom, it brings us a bright red flower called the lehua blossom.
