Amazing weekend getaway
Amazing accommodation and excellent hosts! Had everything we needed to feel comfortable for our family (crib and high chair for our 1 year old daughter) and close to all the attractions. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace were a nice touch in the chilly evenings. Thanks for the wonderful stay and accommodating the early check-in and late check-out!

Great location for a volcano visit
The house is very cute and close to Volcano National park. We didn't have that much extra time, otherwise would have loved to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and hot tub while listening to the sounds of the jungle.

Perfect Volcano Getaway!
What a beautiful tropical property, hidden in a perfect location to visit Volcano National Park! We enjoyed our short visit immensely and found everything to be comfortable, convenient and most welcoming. We stopped at the Hilo Market and grocery store and stocked up for breakfasts and found the kitchen to be very well stocked. Communication with the owners was excellent- what more can you ask for?!

Truly the perfect jungle getaway
We stayed here for five nights on our honeymoon. It is only about fifteen minutes from Volcano National Park, and the property itself has many great amenities. We found it clean, beautiful, and private without being too isolated (it's only a couple minutes from the highway). Caleb and Christyn were great hosts --kind, communicative, and thoughtful. I highly recommend this Rainforest Retreat, and hope to return someday!

Eruption
Had a great time in Volcano, we loved the area and the distance to Hilo was definitely doable. The house was very comfortable and the outdoor spaces great. Felt very safe and secure with neighbors and gated entrance. Bonus……. Eruption at Volcano National Park. Spectacular!

Great Rainforest House
The house is really nice, clean and updated and only 5 minutes to Volcano national park. You do have to drive through a dirt road to get to the house. The host is very responsive via text. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by the hurricane due to power outage. Host was very nice and refunded us one night of stay so we can move to a hotel.

We had a great stay. The wood stove was great on a rainy Volcano day. The hot tub was also wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked and all three bedrooms were comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again the next time we are in Volcano.

Nice home in a mountain setting
The home was clean & nicely updated. We were surprised it was a rustic setting up in the mountain vs in a neighborhood. Also much cooler & wetter than expected but very nice and a different experience than what we are used to in Hawaii, we just embraced it and enjoyed Hawaii in a different way. Not for those who are expecting a sunny, beach experience.

Spacious and private
Enjoyed at the amenities here - hot tub, pavilion, kitchen. Great for some quiet and cool nights while we explored the volcano area. Make sure to air the house daily, it can smell a bit damp with the high humidity every day, the host has air filters and other items to mitigate this issue.

Great home. Highly recommend!
We really appreciate the use of your property in December 2023. The home was as described and very clean. The road immediately to the house is rough; however, the van we rented was able to manage without difficulty. The outdoor fireplace was a real plus! When visiting Volcano National Park and Hilo, this home is convenient and recommended!

Quick, but memorable stay!
Our family hopped islands from Oahu to Maui with a 2.5 day stopover on the Big Island. We absolutely loved the cottage nestled in the woods! It had everything we could ask for, most importantly, it had peace and tranquillity (much needed after 4 days at the Hilton Hawaiian Village)!
Hosts were terrific! Left us wanting for nothing. Their cottage is lovely, incredibly well maintained, and beautifully appointed. We slept like rocks, cooked like kings, and relaxed like sloths. All while fitting in two cross island treks, a few hours at Richardson Beach, snorkeling with the mantas and, of course, touring Volcanoes National Park.
Highly recommended!
