Excellent, private, and beautiful location for our 4 nights near Volcano. The best thing was that it was 4 miles from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We wanted out granddaughter to experience this active volcanic park and it's special features. We were on exact time to experience Episode 30 of the current Halemaumau eruption. We visited the park Aug. 5 and heard the next eruption was due in the next couple days. I checked my computer for the latest from USGS about 8AM on Aug. 6 and the eruption began that early morning. We ate our breakfast and were on the highway by 9AM. No traffic as we pulled up at the entrance station....3 cars ahead of us. Drove to the furthest viewpoint and worked our way back towards the Visitor Center. Our last views were the best....full view of the 300 foot fountain of lava. Wonderful! The whole event ended about noon as the fountaining stopped. Spent the rest of the day out at the Lava Tube, Kilauea Iki overlooks and beyond. Our Bamboo accommodation was perfect for us. We stopped at 2 grocery stores in Volcano to pick up food for each day....
Looks exactly like the recent pictures! Perfect size for our little family of 3. Very comfortable. Very clean. We were sad hower we didnt get any gecko friends joining us for coffee and breakfasts. Do wish there was a spatula tho for cooking. The sound of the frogs at night is extremely loud but we actually loved it and found it soothing. The chickens all around were great as well! Very secluded. And all though no view of the ocean, Hills or mountians its a very beautiful peaceful setting. Great spot for a home base to explore the Island.
Such a cute little bungalow! We were a little disappointed that it was a sauna rather than the hot tub pictured, but it was still so nice. It’s so close to Volcano National Park, but also tucked away so you really feel out in the jungle. The coqui frogs, birds, and bugs make the most wonderful sounds to fall asleep to at night (but beware the rooster next door that will crow for about 20min around 3-4am every day ). This was such a perfect little adventure house for a few days!
Good location near Volcanoes National Park and Volcano Village. Nicely appointed and comfortable. There was no ice in freezer and only one empty ice tray but owner brought us some (along with some fresh eggs, a bonus!). There is no ‘view’ of ‘9 acre property’. There was no information about potable drinking water needed to be provided and there was none. Again, the owner was responsive but not enough so had to buy some. We suggest they put this information in the description and/or utilize 5 gallon water dispensers instead of individual small plastic bottles to provide for entire stay. One ceiling fan did not work.
The accomodations were really good, spacious and I had everything I needed. I liked the secluded location and the host was very responsive to any issues. Would definitely stay there again.
Property was amazing! Perfect for our 10 day stay on the Hawaii island! Would love to stay again! Owners were accommodating and communication was great! Would have been better if the kitchen had included some sort of tray that could put food in the oven, and make sure you buy lighter fluid if you plan to grill as that was not on the property with the charcoal!
More spacious than expected. We weren’t expecting the very early chicken alarm clock. Patio area was a nice outdoor space for happy hour. The only thing we were disappointed with was the very pilly sheets.
The studio was perfect for our trip and was even better than the pictures. The place was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of towels and blankets. The kitchen served our needs but could use a few more coffee mugs and wine glasses. It would’ve been nice to have a box of tissues as well. Overall it was great and we hope to be back.

We loved staying here! The dense bamboo forest in front of the house made it feel like a cool hideaway, since you can not see the house from the road. The lush greenery in the outdoor area was amazing and the space inside was perfect for our needs on this vacation. We got lucky and had rented a 4x4 jeep for this trip, and it definitely helped as this rental is on a gravel dirt road. My favorite thing about this rental was the king size bed. Soooo comfy. The only small downside has to be the roosters that seem to crow at odd hours, but it didn't keep us up. Having a kitchen was nice, and we were able to save on meals by eating our leftovers since there was a fridge and microwave. The bathroom was on the small side, the shower is not big enough for two people and the water pressure was pretty low. Having internet was great, we were able to watch Netflix on the TV while laying in bed, very cozy! We also used the sauna a few times, which was nice and relaxing. This is also close to the National Park, which is convenient for hiking and it's also a great home base for day trips in either direction. There are not a ton of food options right in Volcano, but it was enough for this trip. We did enjoy several of the local spots. Don't hesitate to book this and enjoy a relaxing stay on the island!
Listing looks great, but could benefit from an update. Not a big deal but the hot tub was no longer on the property. The sauna was awesome though! We missed our warning, but to future visitors know the road is gravel and the surrounding area is dark. We appreciated the recommendations for things to do/eat as Volcano is quite small, but nonetheless wonderful. Cleanliness was unfortunately lacking as we were met with some dust, cobwebs, etc. we did come across some flies and ants during our stay too. All around a fun stay though and we’d surely consider returning for another stay in the future.
This property worked great for our 3 night stay in Volcano. We loved the rainforest setting and enjoyed the sounds of the forest at night. Having a kitchen was great for prepping lunches to take with us on our hikes and as we explored the east side of the island. Being able to eat breakfast and dinner without going out was also great and saved us lots of $$.
Host was very responsive to any needs we expressed. Special thanks for the fresh delicious eggs!
