Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii

Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii is a fantastic place to stay and visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park just a few minutes drive from our house. Our main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, large dining area, large living area with SMART TV, Free WiFi, and a large covered lanai (patio).

Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Bamboo Cottage. The units are fairly close in proximity but have no shared space other than the parking area, so don't be alarmed if you see a vehicle when you arrive. The outdoor spaces are on opposite sides of each other and there is space between, so your privacy is assured. To rent both together for a party of 8 total guests, book Dancing Volcano Estate.

The luxurious living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing with an L-shaped leather sofa, TV, games and books. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare those scrumptious island meals. The stunning outdoor lanai is one of the highlights of the home, featuring a formal dining area and lounge chairs for relaxing in the shade while enjoying the peace and quiet this area offers.

Our main bedroom features a King sized bed, walk-in closet, and full ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower. There are 2 more exquisite guest bedrooms; one bedroom has 2 twin beds, and the other has a queen. These two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area from the main bedroom for privacy and the use of the second full bathroom. The second bathroom has a full sized washer and dryer for your use.

We provide beautiful bedding, extra blankets and there are heaters in each room. It can get quite chilly at 3500' elevation!

What to Pack:
The Island of Hawaii, aka the Big Island, boasts over 4,000 square miles and 10 different climate zones, within which are many micro climate zones! You may think that packing your favorite swimsuit and slippers (flip flops) is enough, but not true if you plan on doing any hiking or sightseeing around the island. The Volcano area can get quite chilly with temperatures dropping down to the low 40s at night, sometimes lower, so do bring your favorite warm pajamas and at least a light jacket. It actually snows often on Mauna Kea, but they close those roads whenever there are blizzard conditions present.

Need more room: Rent our cottage, Dancing Bamboo!
The detached Dancing Bamboo Cottage is stunning! The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large King bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, Dish TV, DVD player with a vast selection of movies, wireless internet, coffee pot, microwave, toaster oven and mini-fridge.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Teresa L., Claremore, OK

The house smelled really bad. There’s no central a/c and about 1/2 the windows won’t stay open. It did get hot so we got uncomfortable without a/c. There was mold on the spare bathroom shower curtain. Several of the smoke detectors were missing. There was some kind of food spill all over the screen door into the screened in patio. The Wi-Fi constantly went down. We had more time without Wi-Fi than with it. The worst problem was probably the lock on the gate. It needed to be oiled or replaced with a better outdoor lock. We struggled and fought with it constantly. It was also really inconvenient to have to get out in the rain or darkness to open the gate, move the vehicle in, then close the gate. The headboard on the queen bed was broken. I hated the setup of the master bathroom with the toilet and step-down into the shower. It was an accident waiting to happen. There were at least 3 places in the house requesting that we tip the cleaning crew.

An Amazing Home in thr Rainforest

This is a beautiful three bedroom home in a quiet location outside the town of Volcano. My family loved our stay here - the outside porch was great for eating dinners at and just gazing into the rainforest. The bedrooms and bed setup (two twins in one room and a double in the other) worked well for our three children. We appreciated being close to Volcanoes National Park.

The house was very clean and beautiful! We loved having the full kitchen and multiple bedrooms. We appreciated that there were some food staples available for our use, like spices and foil. The property was beautiful, we saw frogs and bores (from a safe distance). There was only one TV in the living room, and it would have been nice to have one in the bedrooms as well. Host was also not very responsive, and we never heard back on our questions.

Great stay in Volcano!

We came to Volcano to hopefully see Kilauea erupt. This house was in a good spot to get to the park easily. You do have to drive down a pretty rough road to get to it, but just go slow and it’s fine. The house is very nicely decorated and we didn’t notice any musty odor (as some in Volcano do) from the rainforest location. It was very clean. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is pretty well-equipped, and we used it for making breakfast quite often. We did try to grill fish, but there was no pan for grilling it, so we opted for the grill on the stovetop, which worked well. The chorus of rainforest frogs and birds was amazing!

Loved Volcano National Park

The house is very nice, comfortable, quiet and very convenient to the National Park that we were there to visit . There were a few maintenance issues, but the property management was quick to respond and always reachable. The need for a little attention was the only reason we gave the property a 4 and I am sure they will address those items for the future. We cooked on the grill every night which is nice because there really aren't dining options in Volcano. There are a couple restaurants in the National Park itself. The patio is very nice for dining if the weather is pleasant. It is quite secluded so if that is what you are looking for then you should love it. Be aware that at the last turn you will be on a dirt road, but you don't have to drive far on it. We listened to their advice to grocery shop in Hilo before we arrived at the property. It was very good advice.

Quick Island Tour

Property was perfect for our adult family of 5. We were able to make day trips to the National Park, and other national monument sites (drove the whole island) skirting the rain best we could. Property was gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious. Loved the ammenities and the views.

Nice location close to Hawai’i Volcanoes NP

The house has a ton of space compared to other options and was quite private (the Dancing Bamboo Cottage was not occupied during our stay). We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen! The property description is spot on regarding grocery options—be sure to stock up in Hilo or Kona if you want to cook meals since the two stores in Volcano only have the very basics and prices are much higher than in town.

Hidden gem

The first thing out of our daughter’s mouth when we got here was “why didn’t we stay here the whole time”. (We split our vacation between Hilo and Kona). The entire family agreed. Pictures don’t do this place justice. It was perfect. For sure want to come back!!

Awesome, unique

Beautiful cottage in the rainforest near HVNP. As advertised. Very responsive contact person. This is a unique setting, and beautifully decorated. Great location for visiting the volcanoes park. Comfy beds. Space heaters and blankets appreciated. They do only provide a couple detergent pods for dishwasher and laundry. Stock up on groceries in Hilo first. We enjoyed seeing wild pigs and birds out back.

This house was perfect for our family! It was super close to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and had all the amenities our family needed (washer/dryer, dishwasher, cooking needs). My husband enjoyed coffee walks, all three of my teens had a bed, we had a family movie night with The Princess Bride, and it was a joy to eat on the lanai.

Spacious comfortable hideaway in the forest

Large, airy, beautifully decorated home in the forest, quiet and private. The home is comfortable and well stocked. Great birdsong. Kitchen equipped well for easy meal preparation. Very pleasant outdoor space at the home. Easy access to Volcanoes National Park with amazing hiking and unique sights. It's great to stay so close by and take advantage of the park at non-peak hours. I would highly recommend this home to friends, and hope to return myself.
