Darling, Private Cottage Near Hawaii Volcanoes Nat'l Park

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.

The kitchen with concrete counters has a full size range and oven, refrigerator and enough counter space and small appliances to prepare meals. Dining seating is at the high top table for two inside or on the back lanai. There is a comfortable loveseat and SMART TV for streaming entertainment in the living area. Free WiFi throughout the Cottage. The electric fireplace can be turned on for heat and/or visual flames. The queen size bed has views of the forest from two angles.

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.

Best, most relaxing VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!
We were here for our honeymoon and this place was exactly as advertised. Quiet, relaxing, and well maintained! The frogs and the rain lulled us to sleep every night and became something we were looking forward to every night.

Beautiful, clean and private property
We spent the last part of our honeymoon here, it was incredible so clean and private. We loved to hear the rain in the middle of the night so relaxing. I also very much appreciated the property managers reaching out a few times to make sure our stay was great!

Tropical Forest Getaway
We loved this cottage! It is away from everything, you barely can see the neighbors home. Sooo quiet at night except for birds and frogs. The cottage was everything we expected from the pictures and description. I highly recomend this place. Keep one thing in mind-you are isolated, the tropical forest is dark at night, you must drive a dirt road to get there. If this sounds good to you it is. Perfect for our visits to Volcano National Park.

Beautiful location but uncomfortable bed
We loved the location and property but the bed was pretty uncomfortable. Only reason why I removed one star.

Lovely Cottage. Great Location
This was a fun place to stay for our visit to the big island. The gravel roads leading to the property and the density of foliage make it feel remote, but you are a short drive from Volcano Village, VNP, and Hilo. Inside the cottage is beautiful and clean. We definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if we ever return to this area. A few things to consider: 1) Grab any groceries you want in Hilo or someplace you see on your drive from the south, before you get to Volcano. 2). Bring your warmies! It can be damp and chilly in this rainforest, especially at night.

Lovely cottage with complete privacy
Very private cottage in the fern forrest. The cottage has all the modern amenities. Very cozy and comfortable during our whole stay to visit the Volcano National Park nearby. We will definately return on our next visit to the Big Island as our two nights visit to the Volcano was simply too short.

Wet and green!
Great place if you are ok with darkness and jungle. Neighbors were not too close. No blinds so if some was outside, they could definitely see in. Place was clean and tidy. Would have liked better lighting outside but place was a nice vaction stay.
