About this property
Summary:
Trade the beach crowds for cool rainforest mornings, birds in the garden, and a day inside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom, two-bath Volcano cottage sleeps six and puts Kilauea and the park just minutes away. Volcano Golf Course is less than a mile from home for anyone who wants a fairway day between hikes. Back at the cottage, cook in the full eat-in kitchen, warm up by the gas fireplace on a misty evening, and use the private washer and dryer to reset for tomorrow's trail. Please note that the home uses a water catchment system, a common feature in the area, and it does not have air conditioning. This is a genuine Big Island change of scenery for a family or friends who would rather wake up near lava fields and tree ferns than a resort strip.
The Space:
The cottage has the comforting feel of a country home, with an eat-in kitchen for pancakes before the park and a bright living area with a TV and gas fireplace for cooler Volcano evenings. Two bedrooms and two baths sleep up to six, while fast internet and a private washer and dryer make it simple to stay awhile. Natural light and garden surroundings keep the rooms calm and grounded.
Guest Access:
Guests at Volcano Cottage enjoy a private entrance and their own patio surrounded by beautifully landscaped garden grounds. This standalone home offers on site parking and a peaceful, private setting for your stay.
The Neighborhood:
Volcano is a small, forested village on the high, cool side of Hawai'i Island, right beside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Drive into the park for crater overlooks, the Thurston Lava Tube, and trails through native rainforest, then come back through the village for a cafe or a simple local meal. The weather here is cooler and wetter than the Kona side, which is exactly why the tree ferns, mossy roads, and quiet evenings feel so different. It is a nature-first base for families and couples who want the island's volcanic landscape up close.
Getting Around:
Hilo International Airport is about 45 minutes away, an easy drive through lush upcountry forest. A rental car is a must for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and reaching Hilo's beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Volcano village itself is small and walkable for a few local shops and cafes. Parking is generally simple, available on site or along quiet residential streets.
Other Things to Note:
Please note: this home has a water catchment system. Please note: this vacation rental is not equipped with air conditioning. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

This house was very close to National Park. Quiet clean and very well equiped
Very nice rental close to the park. Clean and quiet.One small detail to be aware of, the "know before you go" information requests that visitors take garbage to a nearby transfer station as they leave. Not a problem. But the station will be closed if visitors leave on a Sunday.
Very convenient location. Managed by Vacasa with extra steps required at check in and not as personalize at other VRBO experiences. It fit our needs and purposes otherwise
I thought everything about this property was tremendous. You might consider putting a motion detector light by the front (side) door to assist keying in the code at night.
I loved the quietness. It was a little staycation that we needed. The pull out couch was hard and could feel the metal through the mattress but that did not stop us from enjoying ourselves.
We had a wonderful time in Volcano and enjoyed our stay at this cottage very much !! After two weeks in a condo in Maui, this cottage in Volcano almost felt like being home. The house is in quiet and peaceful surroundings. The only thing you hear are the birds. Sometimes a cow or a dog. But all the neighbours are very respectful and everything is so quiet at night. We enjoyed having two rooms. I took the room with the private bathroom and my friend had the room with the outside bathroom to herself. The house offers everything you need in the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen. My only suggestion would be to add two beach chairs to the equipment available in the house. They would have come handy to go watch the eruptions at night. Also at the beach to check out the turtles in the black sand. We loved having our morning coffee on the wide veranda around the house. Communication with Vacasa was more than perfect. They wrote before, during and after the trip to make sure everything was fine and to ask if we needed anything. There is no doubt that I will rent from them again. To other guests : make sure to have warm clothes. It’s very cold outside in the morning and also at night on the volcano.

Great location, easy to find, nice and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood, minutes away from Volcanoes National park. Lots of warm blankets and heaters for the cold nights (mid 50s F). Kitchen is sufficiently stocked if you decide to cook while you are there. You will need to bring your basics (salt, pepper, oil, etc.). I'd recommend grocery shopping in Hilo before heading in. It took us about 50 minutes to/from Hilo. There are starter soaps and shampoo, but if you're staying longer than a weekend, you'll probably want to bring your own (I always do anyway). I'd recommend this home and would stay here again.
We have stayed at the location many times before. It has all of the basics and the nightly rate is affordable at about 100 per night. However be mindful that the fees do bring it to about 250/night. It has every thing you can need if you have a good basic mindset. Rooms are comfortable and clean, a bathroom for every room, a comfortable kitchen that provides all the needed things to cook at home and a living room with board games that we always use. It’s everything you would need. Be mindful that the patio has the type of paint that can get slippery when wet. My daughter has fallen many times because the patio gets wet and the paint is slippery. I fell and broke my ankle on the patio as well.
We love everything about the house, very clean and have everything for cooking. Very close to volcano park. Highly recommended.
We like being in the Volcano Golf Course Subdivision. Just wish there was a BBQ & some staples in the kitchen like salt, pepper, Ketchup, Olive oil, stuff like that. Also better T/P and Kleenex.
We're very happy with these accommodations. Low key and relaxing -- just what we wanted.
We did notice a slight musty smell. Other than that it was a nice, spacious place. The kids had their own room and bathroom. There was a kitchen table and a table outside. There was a washer/dryer. We found it quiet and comfortable.
