About Rob and Jennifer Owens

Becoming the owners of the Volcano Rainforest Retreat was a blessing for us as the history runs deep we have been in the vacation rental business for over 20 years. My husband Rob and I absolutely love the Hawaiian islands. We started off in Kauai and went to the big island over 15 years ago and built a beautiful home in Volcano and fell in love with the land and preserving all that we could. We knew about the Volcano Rainforest Retreat over 10 years ago and absolutely fell in love with the land. Watching the Volcano Rainforest Retreat grow as the years went on and the love and time that was put into creating such a beautiful place when we found out there was an opportunity to purchase it we were so grateful that Kathleen and Peter had chosen us to fill their shoes, and all that we have learned from them to preserve their hard work.

Gratitude

The Goldens/Owens would like to express their gratitude to all those who work behind the scenes to care for the natural and man-made beauty at the Volcano Rainforest Retreat. By their on-going presence and service each staff person makes the bed and breakfast retreat a very special place, alive with heart and soul.

Peter and Kathleen are especially grateful to Carolyn and Roby LaPorte of Wowi Zowi, Bed & Breakfast Hotel Website Designers, Website Internet Marketing. We especially appreciate their understanding of our artistic process in creating our bed & breakfast retreat. It is not just a business, it is our life’s work together… the expression of our shared love of life and the land. We are so grateful for their capacity to step into our world and convey the essence and unique sense of place of the Volcano Rainforest Retreat. Their brilliance and co-creative force in photography, design, and layout has allowed us to more fully share our inspired vision with the world.

Special thanks to Anne Lee, who co-created the beautiful text and offered her creative, sensitive and artistic input throughout the entire development process.

What Our Guests Say…

“Mahalo nui loa!
Kathleen and Peter are wonderful hosts! We were treated to a tour by Peter of the Beautiful retreat through the Peaceful ohi’a and hāpu’u forest.
You’re only minutes from Volcano National Park and Volcano village.
The elegant Bamboo Guest Cottage we enjoyed for a Birthday and Anniversary celebration even had a private Furo (Japanese hot bath).
Breakfast was perfectly delightful with fresh local fruit & baked goods, and our hosts surprised us with the fixings for mimosas for our anniversary!

A Beautiful and Peaceful retreat we will recommend to all of our friends and family!” H&P – HI

Favourite experience in the Big Island!
“This place was my FAVOURITE memory from the Big Island! Other folks in their reviews say “look no further, book this right away” and they are so right! It truly is one of a kind getaway! Wonderful cottage with a beautiful fireplace, delicious breakfast, windows to the forest, Japanese bath, it was a true retreat! Would highly highly recommend it! Thank you for a lovely stay.”

A Special Unique Experience
“Our room was clean, friendly and well organized. Our bed was comfortable and breakfast was healthy and tasty.
The room has a wonderful cozy gas-stove, very easy to operate. The location is rich, beautiful an inspiring. The tropical flora is luxurious and interesting. The sound of the rain in the rainy nights and the song of the crickets in the clear nights make a sweet lullaby. We really enjoyed them together with our relaxing before-bed time in the clean inviting hot-tub.
Kathleen’s and Peter’s elegant courteous presence and Danielle’s professional caring service add to the comfort of this unique experience.”

Hawaii Last Minute Getaway
“We absolutely loved our stay with kathleen and Peter at the Volcano Rainforest Retreat. We planned a very last minute trip to Hawaii and we didn’t have much knowledge of the island. We were so happy we stayed here because not only was it the most fantastic magical place, Kathleen gave us a daily game plan so we could hit all the sights and see all there was to see. Her advice proved solid as we had a wonderful time and experienced so much!!
Our accommodations were splendid and were everything we dreamed a trip to Hawaii should be. We were a family of 3 and stayed in the Bamboo guest house with plenty of
Room and privacy. The grounds were beautiful and we took advantage of the soaking tub every night! There is no better place to stay than the Volcano Rainforest Retreat!!”

Romantic escape into the nature
“Beautiful property located in the heart of a tropical rainforest. The rainforest retreat delivers exactly what the name implies – relaxing escape in a serene surroundings filled with beautiful sounds of rainforest, very comfortable and beautiful accommodations smartly designed to emerge you in a state of love and happiness. We stayed in the Guest cottage and also briefly visited other cottages on the property – while different in size, all of the houses are exquisitely designed and furnished. Dramatic floor to ceiling windows thought the Guest cottage allowed us to enjoy the stunning outdoors every minute of our stay. The house is extremely clean and we felt very safe staying in this beautiful property even during COVID. A must visit for everyone traveling in the Volcano area!”

“The ‘Sanctuary’ has been the highlight of our trip. It is the most amazing place we’ve ever been. We had to drag ourselves away to go see the volcano!”

“We had a magical experience yesterday. The lava goes to the ocean is so wonderful and spiritual, more than any other experience. We understood why the native Hawaiians thought it was God. It is so big and emotional.”
Italy

“A truly magical & relaxing honeymoon stay in the rainforest. There is such a peace here – the environment, the art & creators, the light & water & wood.”

“The fragrant air, so crisp & clean at night lent to the solace of the Guest Cottage. We enjoyed every aspect of staying here. The wind chimes woke us up – We played gin rummy late into the night.”
