We had an amazing stay at Dancing Ferns. It was minutes from the Volcano National Park. Property manager was very fast in responding to every communication.
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.
The property was just as described. It's located just the right distance from Volcano Park. This was probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in.
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 itâs fine. The house is very nicely decorated and we didnât 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!
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.
Great place if you want to be close to Volcano National Park. We enjoyed our stay. Outside patio was nice and peaceful to have meals. Plenty of space for our family to spread out. Kitchen with great supplies and laundry W/D convenient. We would stay again!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was well appointed and clean. A nice quiet neighborhood and in very close proximity to Volcano National Park. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in this area of the island.
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 optionsâbe 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.
The first thing out of our daughterâs mouth when we got here was âwhy didnât we stay here the whole timeâ. (We split our vacation between Hilo and Kona). The entire family agreed. Pictures donât do this place justice. It was perfect. For sure want to come back!!
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.
A nicely decorated house surrounded by nature. Very convenient to the national park. We especially enjoyed playing games on the lanai with the grandkids while listening to all the birds.
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. Mahalo for sharing your delightful house with us!
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.
