Such a cute quaint cozy spot. Definitely the best way to experience Volcano National Park and come back mid day for a rest and lunch without driving 45 minutes

Property is only minutes from Volcano National Park and approximately 40 minutes from Hilo. We stayed here for a few days to explore this side of the Big Island. Check-in was easy and the property was as described. The only hiccup was that the internet would not connect for the first few days due to the rain storms. Otherwise was an excellent stay.

We stayed for just one night while visiting Volcanoes National Park. It is perfect location for the park, just a short drive. The home is comfortable, quiet and very clean.

May not be a fair rating but this is based on my unique experience at the cottage when it was hit by Kona storm. I had no water, power and internet for the stay of two nights at the cottage. Although the condition was out of the control by the owner, later I knew from other people in the town that they were told one or two weeks in advance of the potential outages due to storm. Would appreciate more if I was told of the potential outages in advance.

Perfect location to HVNP. I think we clocked it as a 6 minute drive. The place itself was bigger than we expected and had everything you would need for a multiple day stay. The beds were super comfortable, the neighborhood was charming and there was a big back yard. We would absolutely, and hope to, stay here again.

Danielle is a great host and great communicator. The cottage is an older home with some wear but was a great location for our exploring the national Park and the Hilo region.

Clean, well kept, and located within a few minutes drive to the national park, this residence is exactly what we needed for our short stay in Volcano, HI. Easy in/out with the pinpad and it was a secure location. Bring flashlights as it can get very dark at night.

Great location, close to the park. After a long day of hiking and exploring coming back to a home was lovely. Cooked a meal and played family games. Listening to the frogs at night and the birds to wake us up. It was a good stay for us.

We stayed close to Volcano National park so we would have quick access to park in day and night for viewing. When 11th episode of eruption occurred on 2/25/2025 it took us only 10 minutes to get to the national park.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at the cottage. While nothing fancy, the house is neat, clean and has a well equipped kitchen. It is also very close to the entry of Volcanoes National Park. The owner was great at communicating and very pleasant to work with. I strongly recommend staying here during your visit to the National Park.

House was close to VNP which was great. Wished there was a usable cooler and containers to pack a lunch. Felt like the towels and coffee maker were old but everything was serviceable. Owner very responsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed this private rainforest home! It was super close to Volcanoes National Park, where we explored many trails without all the rush of a tour group. There were some really good restaurants nearby too. We highly recommend this place! The only downside was that it could have used a toaster and a new coffee pot, which was on it's last leg.

This was our second stay and we loved it just like 2 years ago. The verdant tropical rain forest it is tucked into is terrific and and great place to have happy hour right in your backyard, We difinitely recommend a stay here while exploring Volcano NP.

Charming cottage surrounded by giant ferns - quiet, peaceful, private. Felt instantly like home. And just 5 min away from the Volcanoes Park entrance. We could plan morning trips, home for lunch and another trip in the afternoon. And did we mention that Danielle is a gracious host..

ZENAB8.0/10

The cottage was simple, clean, quiet, and comfortable and we appreciated the friendly, seamless check-in/out process. The kitchen is very well appointed (all the pots/pans you’d need plus some added bonuses such as a spice rack), and the location was great (just a few miles from the park entrance). The cottage is in a neighborhood, but the gorgeous vegetation around the property makes it feel like you are alone in the jungle. I was excited to see some endemic bird species right in the yard, and our kids (8 and 11) thought having their own personal lava tube was pretty darn neat. Thanks for the great stay!
