centrally located

Very chilly at night, but a portable heater & extra blankets were provided

great location for going to Volcano Park. the wonderful hosts greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. The cabin is well stocked with quality towels and blankets. Plenty of kitchen supplies, coffee, tea, salt and pepper and cold water in the fridge. There were flashlights, a lantern, Sun screen and bug repellent.

The bed was very hard. We would have liked some cooking oil or spray.

The host met us at the property and was kind enough to explain everything and even gave us tips about how best to see the flowing lava at the volcano park!

Lovely cottage with a convenient location

We were met by the owners when we arrived, and were warmly greeted. The cottage was immaculate, charming, and exactly what we were hoping for. It was perfectly furnished — no detail had been overlooked. We would stay at this place again in a heartbeat!

Nothing. Everything exceeded expectations.

Every details in the cottage are thoughtful. Hosts are generous.

The hosts were the kindest people ever! We have never felt more welcome and the house was so cute! You HAVE TO stay here! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Nothing! Literally perfect.

This place is a GEM!! It is like being in your private slice of paradise. The suite is tastefully furnished and has a Zen-like, relaxing atmosphere. You are surrounded by lots of green ferns everywhere you look. The room had every amenity needed to make my stay a pleasant one (lots of blankets, music system, couch, coffee, creamer, sugar, fully furnished kitchen with stovetop, microwave & toaster). Carter & Elaine are awesome hosts and helped me check in after I arrived from Kona. This place is about 5 miles from Volcano National Park and that is a huge plus. You can easily come back to the room for lunch and a nap :) and head back to the park in the evening when the crowds have thinned off and the heat had waned. I used this place as a base camp to explore Pahala, Kaʻū and Naalehu. I also visited Kazumura Cave, which is right down the road from this rental. Do yourself a huge favor and skip tacky, crowded Hilo and stay here, you wont regret it!!
