What a unique place to stay! We thoroughly enjoyed this location. It is a very private location in the middle of dense vegitation. We slept so well here listening to the sounds of the forest. The location makes for a great base to explore Volcanoes NP.
From the moment we arrived on the property, we could tell it was going to be beautiful! The little cabin is situated in the middle of the forest 10 minutes from volcano national Park. The grass driveway and surrounding forestry is pretty amazing to arrive too. The cabinet itself is clean and updated, while still remaining very charmingly rustic. There's a huge shower and the water gets hot very quickly. The fireplace under the television is a beautiful addition for chili nights. And the washer and dryer were a blessing after long hiking days. The internet is also very fast! 100% would book this cabin again when we come back.
We completely enjoyed our stay in this private cottage! There was more than enough room for the two of us. We really enjoyed the privacy that we had here after spending the prior 2 weeks at various resorts on the other islands.The kitchen was very well stocked and included all the necessary utensils, tools, and appliances that were needed to make breakfast and dinner. We appreciated the full-size stove & refrigerator. The bathroom was huge and we loved the walk-in shower with the pebble floor! There were plenty of towels provided, and we were grateful for the soap & shampoo that were provided.The laundry machines were a nice amenity and they did a great job washing clothes. We got caught out in a rain storm on our last night and it was nice to be able to dry the clothes before putting them in our suitcase.The internet worked very well, and we were able to connect our accounts to the streaming services and watch shows on the TV. It worked quite well. Our only complaint would be that the bed is starting to sag in the middle and is likely going to need to be replaced soon. That, and it got really cold one night after we went to bed and the fireplace heater took a long time to get the room warmed back up. That blame really goes to mother nature as she decided to surprise everyone with a quick, unexpected drop in temperature that night.We highly recommend this cottage to anyone thinking about staying in Volcano, and we're hoping we can stay here again!
Was an amazing location and places. Made me feel connect with the outside. Very quiet in terms of human activity(traffic,neighborhood). Enjoyed the sound of the birds around the property. Close to the national park if you wanting to do some hiking or catch an eruption.
We had a wonderful time at this location. Clean, well appointed, and quiet. Note the internet can be slow and there are no blinds on the windows, but these were minor inconveniences to the otherwise very positive experience.
This is a really cool place, and would definitely stay here again! This cottage is on a private lot surrounded by beautiful, lush, green trees and plants that were very thoughtfully planted. There are no window coverings and the windows are everywhere, they were all clean and all slide open and have screens (also clean). It was especially nice to have the windows open during the day. The nights get cool in Volcano and there is a heater in the faux fireplace; however, the warm air goes up to the vaulted ceiling and there is no ceiling fan to push it back down. We were super lucky in that Kilauea erupted for 12 hours for one of the nights we were there and you could see the sky glowing out the bedside window!My only complaint is that it's past time for the loveseat to be professionally cleaned.
We stayed in this little cottage for two nights during our trip to the Volcano National Park. The cottage is cute and exactly as pictured. It is very close to Volcano and a short drive to the park. The road is a very rough but able to be driven by any rental car. The property manager is very responsive and handled a small issue we had with the gate lock very quickly. We didnât have any issues with frog noise as we ran the dehumidifier and it acted like white noise. There are just two small things to know. There are no shades whatsoever. The issue we had was during a full moon, it is extremely bright right on the hear of the bed. It would be nice to be able to just block that a bit as it is an extremely beautiful but extremely bright moon out there. The other is the WiFi. We didnât have a great cell signal so we were hoping to use the WiFi to make some of our plans for the next day. Despite resetting it as suggested by the property manager, we never saw over .95 mbps and that was when it worked at all. We were not there for TV or streaming but future renters should be aware of it in case its needed it for some reason.
Beautiful, secluded property. The cottage is surrounded by ferns and trees. The cottage is comfortable and cozy with all the amenities needed for your stay. The electric fireplace is a special treat on the cool evenings. Although there are neighbors, you feel like you are all alone. The communication with the property managers was excellent. Weâd definitely stay here again.
Great location and charming interior layout. Always appreciate nice art on the walls. Very private and tropical surroundings. The kokee frogs will serenade you in the evening. The WiFi could have been stronger and a bit more kitchenware would be nice.
Great location with easy access to Volcanoes National Park
Very secluded location. Cabin layout was cozy and modern. Kitchen had all necessary appliances, dishes, pans, and utensils. Cooler and ice packs were available for use. If the frog noise bothers you turn on the dehumidifier. That helped a lot.
Wow! This rental truely has a wow factor: quiet neighborhood, jungle setting, flowers, cleanliness, and amenities. And decor. If youâre looking for a beautiful, quaint getaway, this place is it! This is one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed at. Will look for again if we return to the Big Island. Mahalo!
This property gave us the home away from home feeling but yet felt soo far away! We absolutley loved staying here being so secluded and away from society. From the booking, to the checking in/out, to communications was a breeze with no stress at all! We will definitely stay here again!
We were here for our honeymoon and this place was exactly as advertised. Quiet, relaxing, and well maintained! The frogs and the rain lulled us to sleep every night and became something we were looking forward to every night.
We spent the last part of our honeymoon here, it was incredible so clean and private. We loved to hear the rain in the middle of the night so relaxing. I also very much appreciated the property managers reaching out a few times to make sure our stay was great!
We loved this cottage! It is away from everything, you barely can see the neighbors home. Sooo quiet at night except for birds and frogs. The cottage was everything we expected from the pictures and description. I highly recomend this place. Keep one thing in mind-you are isolated, the tropical forest is dark at night, you must drive a dirt road to get there. If this sounds good to you it is. Perfect for our visits to Volcano National Park.
This was a fun place to stay for our visit to the big island. The gravel roads leading to the property and the density of foliage make it feel remote, but you are a short drive from Volcano Village, VNP, and Hilo. Inside the cottage is beautiful and clean. We definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if we ever return to this area. A few things to consider: 1) Grab any groceries you want in Hilo or someplace you see on your drive from the south, before you get to Volcano. 2). Bring your warmies! It can be damp and chilly in this rainforest, especially at night.
