Romantic Tree Cottage in the Rainforest

No detail overlooked! A serene custom-designed studio retreat in the treetops of Volcano, Hawaii. Tree cottage includes a beautiful kitchen, spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower, private driveway, top-level lanai off the living area for viewing the unique local flora. Interior is mid-century tropical with pristine hardwood floors, hanging rattan chair for daydreams, queen-sized bed, and bistro table setting provides an intimate setting for morning coffee, or evening dinner for two.

Relax in the tranquility of the ohi'a and hapu'u trees native to this unique part of the world, while enjoying your favorite creature comforts.

The tree cottage is 300 sq. feet, custom-designed and adorned by the host/owner providing a more personal experience for the guests. Amenities such as an easy to access entrance, beautiful decor, a well-appointed kitchen, consistent hot water, electricity, fluffy towels, ceiling fan and comfy bed make a luxurious take on the treehouse experience we all dream of experiencing.

Coffee, tea, and oatmeal are also provided for morning foraging. :)

The living area has glass french doors that welcome you in to the cottage. Once inside you'll be inspired by the beautiful pitched pine ceiling, large windows and 8" sliding glass doors providing a perfect vantage into the trees. At this height you can see the colorful birds flitting from tree to tree and the clouds rolling in from the coast.

The kitchen has hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and quartz counter tops. It comes complete with a four-burner gas stove, small fridge, full-sized sink, coffee maker, and toaster oven.

The bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with pebble floor and a rain shower head for an incredible experience. The big windows, flower-shaped vessel sink, quartz counter tops, tiled floor, and fluffy bath linens provided give the bathroom the feeling of a beautiful, relaxing spa.

The outdoor garden is spotted with new, young plants but still evokes a feeling of privacy, peace, tranquility, and a change of pace from everyday life.

House water is potable and chemical-free. Piped in from the outdoor rain catchment system, the water is purified with a UV system and filtered.

The tree cottage was built by a local contractor, engaging local businesses for the materials. Shannon's hands-on management (even cleaning between guests!) and pride in ownership for the property results in a tree cottage guests can feel comfortable staying in.

*For the comfort and safety of guests, personal belongings and the property the exterior of building has surveillance monitoring.

One of the best VRBO stays ever!

This property was so cute and the perfect size for a couple. The proximity to Volcano NP is a highlight point! It’s exactly as described in the post and the dehumidifier was a game changer. We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re back!

We loved the rainforest that surrounded the tree cottage. The cottage itself was cozy and inviting. The dehumidifier and heater were a nice touch in the humid and cooler climate; the kitchen was great for preparing our own meals; very clean; friendly and accommodating host.

Very nice, beautiful surroundings and very responsive host. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because it does not have a closet to hang clothes nor anywhere else in the space to do so. Also, a personal preference, I do not care for rain showers, but I can understand why the space had one. By the way, the internet is great.

This is a cute little cottage in a beautiful setting in your own little forest. The cottage was built using all space efficiently. The bed was comfortable, bathroom very nice and the kitchen was very usable. The negatives would be there is absolutely no place to put your luggage (2 small carryons)so we had to use the two chairs that went with the table which left no place to sit to eat. The only place indoors to sit is either in the bed or the hanging chair which we had to use to stack all the bed pillows on. There is a nice space down below to sit outdoors.

Peaceful and relaxing home base for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes NP

Loved everything about the treehouse

My spouse and I had the best time staying in Shannon's tree cottage! It was eat-off-the-floor clean when we arrived, and the general instructions on the table were very clear and simple. The dehumidifier was a nice touch, as were the heated mattress pads, which I didn't know i needed in my life until now. It was so nice to wake up to such a beautiful rainforest setting every morning. Thank you Shannon for making our stay in Volcano so memorable!

Very lovely. Clean, well lit with a heater for a chilly eve. Would recommend guest umbrellas.. Luckily I had my own. Perhaps a better tea assortment and unsweetened oatmeal option. I will return. Totaly enjoyed the serenity of the rainforest! Parking right outside.. Lovely covered outside sitting area. Highly recommend for a single or couple only as only a bedoom, kitchen and bathroom.

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this vacation rental! It is well thought out and despite being a small place there is everything you need to have a wonderful stay! We really liked being so close to Volcanoes National Park. We could go in and out of the park at any time and explore as we liked. Shannon was very helpful and responded quickly to any need. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay near Volcanos National Park. The property is very private but with easy access to the park. We stayed 4 nights. Perfect if want to spend a few days hiking and enjoying nature. We had a few minor concerns after we checked in and Shannon was vert quick to respond. Recommend!

rainforest charm

The Tree Cottage in the Rainforest was such a unique and beautiful stay! The property is a bit tucked away with lots of foliage, which added to the rainforest charm. It’s about a 7-minute drive to Volcanoes National Park, making it a great location for exploring.There aren’t many restaurants nearby, and most eateries close by 6 PM, but the cottage has a full kitchen for convenience. There are a few food trucks, but I’d recommend planning meals accordingly. The microwave is tucked under the counter, so keep an eye out for it. The home has all the amenities you could need.My husband put it best: "It’s nice—definitely a vacation rental, not a full-time home, since it’s mostly glass with curtains for privacy. But that just means you get amazing views of the lush rainforest right from inside." A peaceful, one-of-a-kind experience!

Fantastic Stay

Everything was great! Cleanliness, location, communication with host, etc made this an easy 5 star review. If you are a couple or a solo traveler looking to stay in Volcano, I would recommend staying here. Especially if you plan on hiking in the National Park, it’s only a quick drive away from the park entrance.

If at night time you notice a red glow then Kīlauea is erupting again, a short drive to the National Volcano Park will give you the most amazing sights.

Nice simple place

Unit clean and included all amenities needed for a few nights stay. Did not have a microwave to more conveniently reheat food. We initially arrived in the dark and there was no lightning to more easily navigate the property. For those two reasons I gave 4 stars. Location was close to the Volcano National Park and made it very easy to go back and forth from the park.
