Felt like we were in the middle of the jungle, loved listening to the wildlife while enjoying our more coffee out back. Close to Volcano National Park, which is why we were there.

Cosy and comfortable. Could have been cleaner. Some simple and small details like salt, pepper and shampoo would have been appreciated as well as a clean out of all the crap that other guests have left. This property is managed by a company rather than a person and it shows. it's normal that in this area the houses use rain water and most places have a filtration system. We were not made aware that this place did not have a functioning filtration system until after we arrived which I felt was poor communication.

Charming, clean house tucked away in the forest, less than ten minutes from Volcano National Park and 45 minutes from Hilo. Not much daylight, and no central heat, but there's a wood stove (we didn't try though) and electric blankets on all the beds. The kitchen is well equipped, but we couldn't get the washing machine to work, and minimal consumables are provided, so guests are advised to bring shampoo and detergent if possible. The listing says it's wheelchair-accessible, but we caution that the front door is at the top of a staircase. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

Kids loved the place and having their own cozy rooms with electric blankets. Was a nice change to go to cool/chilly Volcano after a week in the sun in Kona area. Fun to listen to the birds, watch the grouse. Volcano NP, lava tubes so close by. So fun to sightsee along saddle road when transiting across island. Clean, quiet. No ac or heat. Loud, always running dehumidifier. Complicated light switches. Limited overhead lighting brightness. Didn’t use the wood stove/heater, but was on the cusp of wanting it. Very hard to navigate rental car in and out of driveway.

The location was nice and tranquil, beautiful mornings with nature at the back porch. The house needed to be aired out to get rid of the closed house smell. One of the showers did not work. Other than that we loved the place.

Very close to Volcano National Park. We only stayed for 2 nights & spent most of our time out and about, but the living room was spacious enough for us to relax and watch a movie as a family.
Home had all the supplies we needed.
It was more “rustic” than I had mentally realized. I didn’t realize there is not just no heat but also no AC - but we were fine with the beds’ warm blankets and the weather was not humid. There were some bugs inside but the location is like a rainforest area so I’m not sure that is avoidable (plus with only being there 2 nights it wasn’t the end of the world).

Great location near a friend who lives on the island. Perfect place for before and after our camping trip on the island.

Perfect place for a family visiting the Big Island - especially if you plan to spend time at the National Park. This house was comfortable for a family of 6 and is super close to the park. We enjoyed being in the jungle and spending time on the lanai. The hydrangeas and other plants in the front area are beautiful, as well.

Property as expected. Should also note that drive ways is not paved dirt road and the dehumidifier is not draining using the tube had to empty it daily

We were in Hawai'i for the Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo, but love to stay in Volcano, because it's so quiet and cool. This home is quiet and cozy and well equipped. 3 bedrooms allow for plenty of space for 3 or even 6 people. Would have loved to spend even more time in the home, but "Merrie Monarch, das why"! :)

It's like your in the jungle of Hawaii close to the National Park. Everything was great although it was rainy and can get cold at night up at that elevation.

This property was great - set in the temperate rainforest area just 2 miles from the Volcano National Park. We walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed the meyer lemons from the property. The place was comfortable and had just about everything you need. We brought in some food to cook and the place had all the cooking ware you needed, etc. The fireplace was a dream as it does get cold at night. Loved the proximity to the park and we loved a visit to the golf course up the road from there and the Black sand beach about 45 mins beyond that. Great stay and we will be back for sure!
