Property Overview

Escape to our cozy and romantic gem nestled in the heart of paradise. Our garden cottage is a stunning specimen of natural beauty located between magnificent Volcano National Park and the historic town of Hilo. Provides easy access to both attractions.

The stunning fissure, created by the earth-moving power of volcanic lava, is just one of the many impressive features of our property.

Our garden is also home to a variety of palm trees, layers of magical mosses, exotic tropical flowers, ferns, and succulents, all coming together to create a beautiful serene and inviting atmosphere for you.

Our cottage is designed to erase the division between indoor and outdoor living. Immerse yourself in the beautiful nature that surrounds you, and let the orchestra of birds greet you every morning. Enjoy the pure refreshing air and the tropical rain patting on the roof as you drift off to sleep to the soothing sound of coqui frogs chirping.

While our cabin is rustic, we have ensured that all modern creature comforts are provided. Unplug and enjoy the ultimate luxury of life - beautiful nature, with your loved one by your side. Our one-of-a-kind outdoor rain shower is created with a hundreds-year-old Ohia log and large, smooth lava pebble stones, surrounded by all kinds of succulents and tropical plants.

After a long day of exploring, unwind and relax in front of the outdoor fire pit under the starry sky, surrounded by solar tiki lights and fairy lights. Have a delicious BBQ dinner in your secluded private garden, and appreciate the precious moments of life.

Kathryn was very welcoming. This is a beautiful setting with lush gardens. Responses to our questions came very quickly. The pictures don't do it justice!

We had such an amazing stay here! My partner and I were in Hawaii celebrating my 40th birthday and this leg of the trip was my favorite. The pictures of this property on the listing do not do it justice. I was blown away by the gorgeous garden that you can tell has been cared for in a major way. If you want to stay in a place where you can be a part of an incredible rain forest environment while still having a nice comfy bed to land in at the end of your day, this is the spot 10/10

Private secluded property; rustic but had all we needed. The bed was so comfortable, had two nights of great rest. Short drive to the park entrance and several options for dining. Stop at the general store in Volcano Village for sandwiches for your day in the park-easily one of the tastiest sandwiches we’ve ever had. Great stay, will be back!

Garden setting was lush and gorgeous! The bedroom is a screen house and kitchen living area is open air! (Even the shower!). We were a little surprised, especially since it was pouring rain, but we were snug in the bed and dry under the cover. A little like "Swiss Family Robinson"!

Incredibly beautiful secluded fairytale garden. You felt like you were in another world. A great experience. I didn’t want to leave. Also close to Volcano National Park and Hilo.

This place was an absolute gem. Katherine was amazing. It is everything you need to relax, unwind, and just hear the sounds of nature in your own little private hideaway. I would definitely recommend a stay here (:

My partner and I loved this very unique property. The outdoor shower, and being totally surrounded by nature, listening to the coqui frogs at night, and enjoying a fire in the evening. Would definitely recommend for a tranquil setting!

We had a lovely stay! The garden is perfectly serene and secluded. Everything was clean. The outdoor shower is AMAZING. The check-in process was extremely easy, though we did have to reach out to the host to confirm the process. We would have loved sheets on the bed in addition to the blankets. All in all, an absolutely wonderful stay.

We arrived to this lovely property in the afternoon. The host was very prompt with communication replies. The property itself was great. Lovely weather - it rained at night, but the covered walkway from the bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen kept us dry. The hot water outdoor shower was very nice. We used the coffee machine to make coffee. The internet was fast and usable for remote work. There is a little fridge we used to cool drinks. The queen size bed was very comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend staying here. We would definitely visit again. Thanks!

My son wanted a place deep in nature as close to the volcano as possible - for a whole month. Boy am I glad I found this place! It was wonderful. Clean. The forest is magical. Animals are welcome. The host Katherine is wonderful. She was available at all times. She is above and beyond helpful and nice. She really cares. She was excellent answering many, many questions before the stay. The experience was far better than words and pictures can do.

I can’t even tell you how wonderful this VRBO is. If I could give it 10 stars I would. The place is gorgeous, peaceful, relaxing, and very zen. It is 100% worth every penny and more. This place is my future goal in my own yard. The hosts are fantastic the property is beyond fantastic the area is fantastic I will stay here again no hesitation!

After a day at Volcano National Park-we had the privilege of staying in this amazing garden oasis! We easily found the property (during the daylight) and settled in. Left for dinner at Dimple Cheek and returned at dusk. The garden became even more beautiful! You can see the love and care the owners have poured into this garden! The nighttime sounds and solar string lights made this unique experience even better! If you’re looking for something different and above the ordinary- we highly recommend you choose this location!! We hope to return!
