Perfectly set up for staying near the entrance to Volcanoes NP. If you stock up on groceries before leaving Kailua-Kona or Hilo the large kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals.
Wonderful cottage so close to the volcano.
Wonderful cottage nestled in a rainforest setting, far back from the road. It was clean, comfortable, ample towels and bedding/blankets. Every room had night lights and switches were clearly labeled. Perfect for two couples, matching en-suite bedrooms. And so close to Hawaii Volcanoes NP, made it easy for us to be there early. Sorry we didn't plan a longer stay.
We loved our stay at this cute bungalow near Kilauea Volcano. It had a sweet mountain cabin feel with all the amenities you’d need. The grounds are well kept and nice for a short early morning stroll. The bungalow is a 5 min drive away from Volcano visitor center too!
Short trip from another island. Perfect location close to Park entrance. House well equipped and great floor plan for two couples.

Loved having a home away from home on the big island. We explored the Hilo side from here for a few days. Place is well situated for visiting National Park. We went to see eruption multiple times in a day. Two full bathrooms in mirrored split plan home. Our bed was very comfortable and bedroom is carpeted which was nice during chilly mornings. We would recommend a stay. This is not a fancy high end accommodation. It is clean, comfy and homey. Reminded me of my grandparents’ vacation home.
We have stayed at several. VRBO rentals in the last 3 years. This one is heads and shoulders above sll others. The bedrooms were comfortable, TV was easy to use. And the location was central to all .activities Everything
We are local residents and needed a place to stay while repairs were done at our home. We chose this cottage as it was nearby and convenient for us. The home was clean and neat and had everything we needed. We did call the property manager once during our stay - the battery in the smoke detector died and needed replacement. It happened very late in the afternoon and we didn't want to deal with a beeping smoke detector all night. It didn't take long for Dwayne to arrive and replace the battery. He didn't seem at all upset for the late call. Thank you, Dwayne! We would recommend this property if you are looking to stay close to the National Park or if you just want a nice, quiet and comfy place for a get-away. Mahalo for letting us stay at your lovely home!
We had to To make some last-minute changes to our trip so we decided to split it up by spending one half of it on the Kona side and the other half on the volcano side. This place is a true gem. Quiet and secluded it was the perfect place for us. It was our first time traveling long distance without kids. I loved being able to go outside at night and just look up and see all the stars so clearly. While we are on this side of the island, we spent some time at the volcano, walking the trails and then some of it down in Hilo. Depending on where you’re coming from just make sure you stop and get groceries before you get there. Otherwise there’s a market not too far from there in the village. Would definitely recommend this for families or people who like to explore.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in the forest a few miles from the Kīlauea entrance to the national park. Beautiful landscaping and a great equipped house. Perfect for families.
Clean and quiet, all the amenities Gracious host allowed us to slightly over stay our check out.Thanks!
Stayed at this property multiple times and will stay again in the future. Very relaxing, safe & quiet. One of our top priorities.
I was duly impressed with the cleanliness of this home...Loved all the amenities..quiet. peaceful, safe...the foilage surrounding this hale was beautiful...especially with the sun peeking in thru the ferns and sparkly dews on the anthuriums..Highly recommend!
Beautiful location! All the amenities. Hoghly recommend!!!
One of our favorite vacation rentals. Very relaxing and quiet. Highly recommend especially if you need to clear your mind.
Volcano is a second home to me, I still have family on the island. Loved visiting them, and then coming home to this comfortable, pretty place in the middle of the rainforest. Volcanoes national Park is my favorite place in the world.
Absolutely love this property!! Very peaceful and relaxing, will be staying again.
Very nice and had all extra stuff one would need, clothes washing soap, coffee filters, etc. I would choose this place again in a heart beat.
We had some trouble getting into the property, other than that all was good. Nice heated blankets and cozy fire. Thanks for letting us stay at your place.
