Baumhaus im Vulkan-Regenwald mit Whirlpool

What a cool experience to stay in a rainforest loft! Great location only a few minutes from Volcanoes National Park. The unit was well-appointed and updated. It was a little lacking in regards to the kitchen (i.e. utensils, oven/stove limited capability). The hot tub at the end of a jungle path was so atmospheric, although could’ve been a bit cleaner. All in all, we really enjoyed this unique stay.

This was a cool place to stay with jungle vibes. It was a great location for our visit into the Volcano National Park - quick and easy drive into the park. My girls loved the lofted bed and the “treehouse” feel. It’s not the most glamorous stay if that’s what you’re looking for, but it was a suitable place for our adventures!

Tracking the Volcano Eruption can be a character-building exercise in patience and humility. The Volcano Village bnb rentals have become very sparse at times with the popularity of the eruption episodes. Finding this place last-minute and being able to book a spot for my family of 6 was critical for our episode viewing; we almost had to stay in Hilo and that would have been stressful. So glad to find this spot, and the cabin-loft vibes with the whole family sleeping in one very large room was an unexpected pleasure and created a fond memory. Located 5 minutes away from HVNP and 2 minute away from Volcano Village. Relaxed vibes and great value.

This property is so close to being great. There is a reason it is cheaper than other places. Here are the things to consider when booking:#1 - and probably most important - the host was not appropriately responsive to problems. The cord on skillet was cut and hot plate was malfunctioning so we were unable to cook anything and had to waste groceries and eat out. There was a microwave but food we had needed skillet. Host sent one sentence about another hot plate that didn’t exist and then either didn’t read or ignored us until check out. #2 - there are beds for 7, but not really space or supplies for 7. 4 towels, 5 mm of soap in hand soap container, limited kitchen, no actual seating, 3 regular chairs at bar height counter and no table even though there could be space for one, not enough drinking water for 7 (tap water is not drinkable) - none in the fridge like sign at the door says. One tiny ice tray…. If you pack groceries you also need to bring every thing you need to cook it and not count on them.#3 - hot-tub is nice and hot but the path lighting is broken and there is no lighting at the pavilion. There is no lock on it like checkin email mentions.#4 - there are 5 units on this property that share hot tub#5 - the shower has the lowest pressure I’ve ever been in since Girl Scout camp. I think it’s intentional to save water, but noticeable and takes a very long time to wash hair. Was nice and hot. #6 - toilet seat was broken, bathroom/shower floor slippery.
