Our 4th or 5th stay here. Peace and quiet. You can walk to some very good local restaurants if you enjoy a long stroll. Very close to the Volcanic Park, but exceptionally quiet

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the treehouse. The extensive use of wood, the cozy furnishingings, well stocked kitchen, amazing views of the rain forest and privacy. This did not feel like a basic rental, there were loving touches everywhere that made it feel like a home. The bed was so comfy and the towels were thick and luxurious. An unexpected syrprise were the nice bathrobes. The treehouse is super clean and the windows sparkle! We would definitely stay here again!
I’ve visited the Island of Hawaii and spent time in Volcano over 20 years. This is by far the most personal, unique, beautiful home I’ve stayed in! So charming.Thank you to the hosts for sharing their tree house with us.
Excellent accomodations! The day we arrived was rainy and the Treehouse was so cozy, perfect to curl up and read a book. The location was excellent for hiking Volcano thee next morning and then popping back at night to see the lava. Also great location for visiting Panalu'u, a black sand beach with turtles!

The Maile Treehouse easily ranks at the top of our favorite places we have stayed. Everything about this place is magical! The setting is so serene, and the house is so lovely that you have no choice but to relax and be happy! We liked the separation between the two bedrooms for our family of 2 adults and 1 teenager. The house was clean, and thoughtfully furnished with everything you may need for your stay. Location is super convenient to shops, restaurants and the national park while being private and quiet. We cannot wait to come back!
Couldn’t beat the location!! House was well equipped and beautiful. Everything you could hope for and close enough to the park that we were able to drive over in the early morning hours to witness Kilauea erupting!

Maile Treehouse was the perfect contrast to the beach stays that bookended our Hawaii vacation. We spent three nights exploring Volcanoes National Park and relaxing in this peaceful, beautifully located retreat. The home is thoughtfully appointed with exceptional attention to detail. We especially enjoyed unwinding on the deck, surrounded by lush greenery, while our teenagers loved having their own private entrance on the first floor. We've already recommended this property to friends and family!
The rental was a peaceful get away for our family! I would recommend some curtains but we had a lovely stay!
We really loved this place. You felt secluded and could see the night sky. When the volcano erupted we were able to see the glow in the sky at night. Very beautiful and elegantly rustic. I would definitely recommend.
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.
Beautiful property. We had a extremely relaxing vacation stay in the Tree house

Great home, very clean. Very close to National Park
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 !
We had a wonderful time at this home. Beautiful interior and views all around. Very private and quiet. Perfect for a nice romatic home for couples.
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.
Great property , moonlight through the windows and birds chirping as you wake up
The property was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It was very close to volcano park but far from beaches.

You'll be at one with nature in this unique, exquisite home.
Beautiful home, well maintained, nicely appointed and very close to Volcanoes NP. Would definitely stay here again if we ever return to the Big Island.
Have stayed here multiple times over 10+ year span. Still as in pristine condition as ever. Thank you for maintain this perfect retreat.
