Property Description
Volcano Kahaualea Cottage, a perfect place to explore the East Side of the Big Island, from the village of Volcano, Hawaii. Retreat from the world in privacy on 3 acres of lush forest. The cottage, constructed in 1982 and completely renovated in 2018 was artfully built from repurposed woods. The interior has vaulted ceilings throughout the single space and lots of windows onto the green surroundings.

We've stocked the home for your comfort and use during your stay in Volcano. E Komo Mai (Welcome)!
This cottage is located on a very private forested 3 acres of Hawaiian rainforest. A romantic haven! A centralized location to explore the whole east side and to explore the now open Hawaii Volcano National Park.
It is located on 3 square acres of rainforest. 4.5 miles from the volcano National Park. Extremely private. Road is gravel for 3/10 of a mile but easily passable by even low clearance rental cars.

Was an amazing location and places. Made me feel connect with the outside. Very quiet in terms of human activity(traffic,neighborhood). Enjoyed the sound of the birds around the property. Close to the national park if you wanting to do some hiking or catch an eruption.

We enjoyed our stay at the Volcano Kahaualea Cottage. After spending several nights in Kona on the shoreline, staying here let us experience the lush greenery and cooler temperatures of the eastern side of the island. We enjoyed the proximity to Volcano National Park. Our interactions with the property management company were great.

We had a wonderful time at this location. Clean, well appointed, and quiet. Note the internet can be slow and there are no blinds on the windows, but these were minor inconveniences to the otherwise very positive experience.

This is a really cool place, and would definitely stay here again! This cottage is on a private lot surrounded by beautiful, lush, green trees and plants that were very thoughtfully planted. There are no window coverings and the windows are everywhere, they were all clean and all slide open and have screens (also clean). It was especially nice to have the windows open during the day. The nights get cool in Volcano and there is a heater in the faux fireplace; however, the warm air goes up to the vaulted ceiling and there is no ceiling fan to push it back down. We were super lucky in that Kilauea erupted for 12 hours for one of the nights we were there and you could see the sky glowing out the bedside window!My only complaint is that it's past time for the loveseat to be professionally cleaned.

Stayed here for four nights, and would definitely return given the opportunity. Property was easy to find, and extremely peaceful. Bring a flashlight if arriving after dark, as the cottage is deep in the property.

We stayed in this little cottage for two nights during our trip to the Volcano National Park. The cottage is cute and exactly as pictured. It is very close to Volcano and a short drive to the park. The road is a very rough but able to be driven by any rental car. The property manager is very responsive and handled a small issue we had with the gate lock very quickly. We didn’t have any issues with frog noise as we ran the dehumidifier and it acted like white noise. There are just two small things to know. There are no shades whatsoever. The issue we had was during a full moon, it is extremely bright right on the hear of the bed. It would be nice to be able to just block that a bit as it is an extremely beautiful but extremely bright moon out there. The other is the WiFi. We didn’t have a great cell signal so we were hoping to use the WiFi to make some of our plans for the next day. Despite resetting it as suggested by the property manager, we never saw over .95 mbps and that was when it worked at all. We were not there for TV or streaming but future renters should be aware of it in case its needed it for some reason.

Beautiful, secluded property. The cottage is surrounded by ferns and trees. The cottage is comfortable and cozy with all the amenities needed for your stay. The electric fireplace is a special treat on the cool evenings. Although there are neighbors, you feel like you are all alone. The communication with the property managers was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great location and charming interior layout. Always appreciate nice art on the walls. Very private and tropical surroundings. The kokee frogs will serenade you in the evening. The WiFi could have been stronger and a bit more kitchenware would be nice.

Very secluded location. Cabin layout was cozy and modern. Kitchen had all necessary appliances, dishes, pans, and utensils. Cooler and ice packs were available for use. If the frog noise bothers you turn on the dehumidifier. That helped a lot.
