I absolutely love this cottage in the village of Volcano. It's a perfect get-away. i have stayed here before (2023) and will hopefully stay here again. I was coming for our 30th wedding anniversary, and hoping that Kiluaea would oblige by giving us her 30th eruption episode, and SHE DID! It was spectacular.
Beautiful location so close to an erupting volcano yet a completely different geography/climate. The cottage and property are very nicely set up with many special touches such as the mini nature trail around the yard.
Lovely little cottage in the rainforest of Volcano. We enjoyed our stay, bed was comfortable, the small kitchen had enough for us to make simple meals, the porch off the back was delightful for sitting (when it wasn't raining). It's off a slightly bumpy dirt road, it's private, quiet, and peaceful. The living area had only one rocking chair (in addition to the dining chairs) so we read in bed. Convenient to the National Park.
I just loved how peaceful and quiet this place was. Listening to the birds and the rain was healing for the soul. The cottage is separated from nearby cottages by a few yards of rainforest, very private and cozy yet functional. Would definitely recommend this place if youâre looking to spend a day or two exploring the KÄ«lauea volcano and surrounding areas. Not a lot nearby in terms of restaurants, and the few that are there are very pricey - recommend grabbing groceries on the way there and preparing most meals in the kitchenette.
Beautiful cottage surrounded by even more beautiful gardens and grounds
Stepping onto the grounds surrounding this Volcano cottage is like entering a secret garden, a world where nature's artistry takes center stage. The "private" aspect isn't just a descriptor; it's a tangible feeling, fostered by the lush, enveloping greenery that creates a serene, secluded haven. Imagine waking to the soft chorus of birds and coqui frogs echoing through a tapestry of ferns and towering ohia trees. The "garden views" from the private deck aren't mere glimpses; they're immersive experiences, where every glance reveals a new, delicate detail of the surrounding ecosystem.The canopied lanes leading to the cottage are a visual poem, where sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a dappled, ethereal glow. This isn't just a place to stay; it's a place to reconnect with the earth, to breathe in the crisp, clean air, and to witness the raw, untamed beauty of Volcano's unique landscape. The property's proximity to Volcanoes National Park is a natural extension of this beauty, offering endless opportunities to explore dramatic volcanic vistas and witness the raw power of nature.The emphasis on privacy and natural beauty makes this cottage an ideal retreat for those seeking solace and inspiration, whether you're a honeymooner seeking a romantic escape, an artist yearning for a tranquil workspace, or simply a traveler longing for a genuine connection with nature.
We loved our time there. The little fireplace helped keep the house warm while we had a relaxing weekend listening to the apapane and playing cards. Weâre already discussing the next time weâll return.
Just a perfect little cottage tucked away in the rainforest! Many thoughtful touches to keep us warm and comfortable. Superb base for exploring Volcano Park and the south beaches. Thanks for organizing the Kīlauea eruption for us!!
We had a very good stay at Ferny Hollow cottage in Volcano. The cottage is cozy and vintage, and we were comfortable during our three day stay. Everything was tidy and clean, and there were nice touches like books about the Big Island, a CD player, good umbrellas, and extra linens/towels. Unfortunately, the cute electric fireplace was broken, but an electric space heater was provided and was adequate to help warm the place in the morning. We had one relatively minor problem after we checked in, we called Aubrey and she very quickly rectified it. We would stay here again.
Nice, cozy place. Kitchen looks well stocked for those who want to cook. Bed was comfortable. Be aware you are at elevation so it is cooler. We would have rated this five stars but the electric fireplace wasn't working so it was a little cool and everything was damp. They did provide a small area heater which helped some.
Peaceful location. You will be surrounded by the beautiful bird sounds from dawn till night. Comfy cottage. Plush bath towels. Drinking water was very good. Conveniently located to Volcanoes NP. Enjoyed our stay!
Starting with the one lane roads making your way through the rainforest to this lovely property to sitting on the back deck surrounded by greenery it felt magical. The cabin is small and cozy. Very convenient to Volcanoes National Park. Chillier nights were thwarted with the electric blanket. Perhaps a little tight on kitchen counter space but wasnât a big problem. We would definitely return to stay here.
Stayed 3 nights in this tranquil little hideaway in the jungle. Hosts were very timely and responsive to any of our requests. One thing I would mention is that the photo of the cottage was taken from the back yard, so what you see when you get there does not look like the picture (you'll see a "Ferny Hollow" sign once you pull in). Close access to the park & had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Aubrey.
Place as described, lush rainforest around property, very close to national park. Easy check-in/out. Everything was functional. Had one concern which the host went out of their way to address.
This private cottage is absolutely charming! It was a perfect 2-night stay for us. It was extremely clean and had everything we could possibly need. We appreciated the heated blanket on the bed, the towel warmer in the bathroom, and the fireplace as the nights can be quite chilly. It was really close to Volcanoes National Park which made early morning hiking a breeze. At night, we drove into the park for star gazing which was breathtaking! We were lucky to have such clear nights that we could see the Milky Way! It was even better than the expensive tour we did last time up on Mauna Kea.What an unforgettable stay! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!
