Public review 5 stars!
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Hawaii, this A-frame cabin is an absolute gem. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street by Volcano Golf Course, it’s just minutes from Volcano National Park, making it the perfect base for hiking, exploring, or a round of golf. The cabin itself is cozy and private, surrounded by majestic old Ohia trees. After a long day, relaxing by the fireplace or soaking in the hot tub under the stars is pure bliss. The views are stunning—you can take in the beauty of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa right from the property. This is truly one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. Whether you’re escaping for peace and quiet, or just looking to immerse yourself in Hawaiian nature, this place has it all. Highly recommend this wonderful retreat—I can’t wait to come back!

Rented both cabins for my family and I. The cabin was cleaned and stocked well. The yard was great for the kids and the location was quiet and peaceful. Palila had a bigger kitchen and Nene has a bigger bathroom. A screen door on Palila side and sliding glass doors on Nene side were broken and the hot tub was poorly maintained. Other than that, we were really enjoying the property until a man arrived in the middle of our stay unannounced and started unloading supplies and working on the hot tub. I wasn't given any notice of his arrival and when I asked him to come back after we checked out he responded with needing to prep for the next guests and that it was the most convenient time for him. It was extremely uncomfortable and interrupted our access to the space for a few hours.

The property was quiet and enjoyable. We used the hot tub and found the location and ease of access to Volcanoes National Park great for our vacation. Due to what I think was time zone differences, I did have to book the location twice before I was able to get the confirmation.

Good location. Very close to volcano national park, the area around the property is private and beautiful. However, the Property is in need of repair, the back exterior patio door is broken and doesnt lock, there is a hole in the deck near the hottub with caution tape surounding it, loose boards on the step, leaking sink pipes in bathroom, the tv wouldnt turn on and an over all musty smell and feel. I didnt end up staying at the property. I left shortly after check in. I attempted to contact the owner at the contact number given, i left a message and did not recieve a call back.

Cabin was cute, clean, and right beside the national park enterance. The kids loved the hot tub in the evenings! Owner provided all info needed so check in was easy! There were even fresh flowers decorating the tables inside. Great deal!!

We loved the design and location of this cute cabin. It was super conveniently located near the park entrance and a few good restaurants. Entry was easy and finding it was easy since we pre-located it on the map before we left the rental car agency. Washer and dryer were helpful and the area was pretty.I recommend staying at this adorable cabin but I think it is important to know what to expect. There is no central heat, but there are multiple space heaters. If it is cold, it is advisable to start those immediately upon arrival. We arrived late and were uncomfortable leaving them running at night so it was a cold first night. There was a wood stove with an extra log, but no kindling or newspaper to get it started so we had to scrounge through our belongings to find some materials and burned through a few paper towels. The cabin had a musty/unpleasant smell in the main room which may partially be because it was winter and you can't open up the windows to freshen it up. The carpet could definitely do with a proper cleaning and an area near the stairs smelled suspiciously like urine. Each home has it's own single parking space, but the neighbors need to pull all the way up.I gave this cabin a good rating because there were many wonderful attributes (we didn't have time for the hot tub). Set your expectations like you are "glamping" and embrace nature and the beautiful surroundings. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location overlooking a golf course, with scenic views of nearby volcanos. Short drive to VNP. Definitely a bit chilly in winter, but there are space heaters and plenty of blankets. Cabin is well equipped for cooking.

This is our second time staying at what my daughter calls it the "A" house. We never want to leave this place. Clean, peaceful and really close to the Volcano National Park. Can't wait to go back.

Loved everything about the place, and more importantly the location. Cozy, in nature, plenty of space, super close to the park. My only constructive feedback would be to replace the caulk in the stand-up shower and the sliding back door doesn’t open very well.
Thanks for the cool experience!

Although a wonderful location in Volcano close to the National Park, we were very disappointed to find this rental full of mold. From the walls, to the bathroom, to the bedding, to the plates and utensils, there was an unacceptable amount of mold throughout the property. Another issue we had was the lack of bedding for the sofa beds...there were no mattress protectors or sheets for the 2 sofa beds. We could not get the oven or spa to work. All in all, a disappointing place to stay. We hope the owners get the property thoroughly cleaned so that no future guests need to deal with the mold.

What a dreamy house this was for me. It reminded me of my grandparents lake home in Minnesota. Loved the 65 degree weather too. We would definitely stay here again if we had the chance!
It was pretty much clean where it needed to be clean (bathroom, kitchen, common/sleeping areas). There were cobwebs, dust and debris in the less common areas (patio chairs, wall corners, outdoor table/chairs, jacuzzi, some of the less used kitchen & glasswares).
We loved the fireplace, the loft/bed, the heaters, even the catchment system was excellent too with the pressure and heat being the best we ever had for catchment. The electric blankets were missing the plugs so we only used it as normal blankets. The jacuzzi was very dirty and uninviting. The bottom looked like large rust spots, which turned out to be old leaves that settled and disintegrated. It stirred up and made the water brown. Lots of buds too. But the heater was impressive. It stayed on and hot for the whole vacation. There was no pool so the kids were sad. But they loved the tv room and futons. The dryer was great for us to use before packing. There wasn’t a lot of closet space for our travel hanging systems but we made it work.
Overall, we absolutely loved this place. We got a lot of comments from our pictures from our friends who inquired out it. Thank you Hale Palila!

We loved our stay here. The cabin is definitely that- a cabin nice and quiet, with most anything we could need for our stay, close enough to the volcano national park but away from the busier places when we were done for the day.

We loved our stay! It was rustics, but had everything we needed and was literally minutes outside of the national park. After hours and hours of hiking, we loved coming back to the hot tub!
