What a beautiful home in such a quiet location. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing a few meals. We ate out quite a bit too. And we got to see the volcano eruption! We will stay here again if we return to the big island!!!

We had a girls' trip....myself, my best friend, my daughter & my adult granddaughter. We cannot say enough about this magical, wonderful home! The attention to detail, both inside and outside the home is always giving you new, sweet things to see. The owners are bird and frog lovers, and the actual birds and frogs love this area, too...& they will sing for you....a lot! This property is enchanting, welcoming, & warm. There is even a fireplace that you flick on with a light switch, in case it's cold (which it can be...). The interior design is incredible, the furniture is comfortable & beautiful, & the beds are extremely comfortable. This home was brought to life through the aloha spirit - you can feel it. It's obvious the owners love this home and spend time here. There is even a lovely yard outside the downstairs unit. The bedroom split (1 up & 1 down), was just a small inconvenience, but also served the purpose of giving us a little extra space. We used the washer & dryer for one load of clothes - they worked great. Also - there are NO MOSQUITOS!! Thus....no need for screens. I was worried other bugs would com in, but they didn't. Communication was great with the management. The owners have gone to quite a bit of trouble to put together a very comprehensive book for your reference. We can't recommend this lovely home highly enough! You will LOVE it!!

We had a lovely stay at the Maile treehouse. The check in was easy and the house was very comfortable and clean. We loved the yard and took many walks up the road. It's a great location and really makes you feel like you're in nature with all the native birds around. One thing I would note, is that there are some mosquitoes, so we unfortunately had to keep the windows closed most of the time. We look forward to coming back!

We enjoyed our stay here! It was perfect for our family of 4. It was a short drive to Volcano National Park and about a 45 minute drive to Hilo. Everything was clean and looked like the pictures. We would stay here again.

This unique property is exactly as pictured and described. This was a perfect home base for exploring Volcano National Park for 2 days. I would stay here again.

Maille Treehouse is a beautiful property set in the rainforest in Volcano. Just 8 min to Volcanoes National Park. It truly has a treehouse feel but is modern, cozy with lovely decor. It is well stocked with supplies. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, whirlpool tub and full size laundry. Adorable lanai to enjoy for coffee, meals or sitting to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Easy 40 min drive to Hilo for a day trip. A peaceful retreat after long hikes in the park.

It was a truly unique property! Loved all the personalized touches and the serene space. The sleep situation was not ideal for us however. I may have overlooked this in the description, but the second bedroom is a walk outside of the main living space, basically a separate apartment. We have a toddler and were not about to have her sleep out there by herself. Other than that, it was a great spot and super close to the national park.

This is a very special place! The accommodations were immaculate. Serenity permeated from inside and out! It was obvious that so much thought and love was put into this retreat!!! Well and tastefully furnished! Beautiful jungle views from every window! Close and easy access to the amazing Volcanoes National Park. Our only regret was we didn’t book longer! This was truly an awesome experience and we can’t recommend it enough !

What an adorable cottage in the middle of Volcano. Minutes away from the national park, but the property was secluded and an oasis in and of itself. My husband and I stayed on the top floor and our two teen boys had their own place down below with a separate entrance and bath. We loved the open air concept and kept the windows on the second floor open all night. The boys didn’t want to risk it on the first floor, so they slept a little hot. Backyard garden was idillic and fun to explore. Be warned that the road coming into the property is narrow and not in the best shape. We were glad to have a 4 Runner, not only for the rest of the island, but to get in and out of the property. A wonderful stay. Well equipped and designed.

We loved our time here! The property is just like the photos and it's so close to Volcanoes National Park. There was an eruption the day we arrived and we were able to get to it in 10 minutes. It's also just beautiful to be surrounded nature. A comment: there weren't any blinds/curtains, so be aware when the sun comes through in the morning.

After a week in busy Honolulu, this was a wonderful nature retreat. All you hear are birds, and all you see are trees. The cottage is charmingly decorated with Hawaiian themes. Everything we needed was provided. Saltwater Vacations sent us accurate arrival information and texted us to confirm that we were able to access the property. The location just outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was perfect, as we made multiple trips into the park each day. The only thing I would suggest to make it better is to add some window coverings in the bedroom. The light woke us up VERY early in the morning. But we knew this going in from the photos in the listing.

Wonderful property with so many lovely design features. Very comfortable and well equipped. Great for exploring the park. You can buy milk and snacks at the volcano store but should bring other groceries. We loved the gorgeous garden and the spa bath! The only downside was we were there during a full moon. It was gorgeous but there are no window coverings and it was like having a spotlight shining on us at night! Highly recommend this property.
