A fantastic property, very quiet and extremely private. It's like staying in your very own botanical garden!

It is a lovely place to stay. It is fairly clean and tidy. It smells a little mildewy but I think given time of year, and environment, hard to control. The yard is marvelous. I was disappointed there was no hot tub as the listing indicated there is one. The TV is a smart tv and functional, but doesn't have hardly any apps to use.

The Rainforest Hideaway was a perfect spot for taking in Volcano National Park! The house was not only convenient but charming! Decorated in a casual Hawaiian style - it made us feel like we were truly "living" there and not just visiting! Situated down a long drive with trees, orchids and a variety of Hawaiian plants - what an experience! Thank you so much - Mahalo! Marilyn and Myles

As soon as you pull onto the property, you know you're somewhere special. The property grounds are gorgeous, and you feel like you're all alone in the rain forest. There's no A/C in the house, but it is absolutely not needed. Open the windows and turn the fans on and it is perfect inside. There is also a rainwater catchment system, so they don't recommend drinking the warer out of the faucets. But the owners supply plenty of drinking water, so there are no problems at all! The location is perfectly situated to be able to spend time in Hilo and explore Volcanos National Park.

This house is located in the middle of rain forest. Beautiful view and charming decoration. Close to volcano park and Hilo. We loved it and would love to visit again in the future.

The property was well maintained and equipped with many of the essentials. The surroundings were beautiful and the screen in patio accommodated four to five people perfectly. Definitely recommend this property.

I booked this after reading the positive reviews and am happy I did so. The rainforest this house is nestled in is endlessly gorgeous. We spent a lot of time out in the screened-in lanai and in the evenings I sat out there with the lights off and eyes closed to enjoy the sound bath of nature. Super meditative! We spent a few days exploring the volcanoes (less than half an hour away) and Black Sand Beach (about an hour). We ate out both nights at Coconut Grill (our kids loved the fare). The house itself is cute, well equipped with fans and appliances. It was great to be able to wash our clothes in the washer/dryer. Beds were comfy. We stayed in our last night and cooked so we could enjoy the house and lanai. We were surprised that we weren't too bothered by mosquitos even though a few slipped in. We tried to seal a tiny hole in the screen in the lanai with the only "tape" we could find (a bandaid). Appliances (stove/oven, microwave, washer/dryer), showers, etc are great, but you may need to bring your own spices, foil, maybe an aluminum pan for baking if you plan to cook a lot, and a lighter for the mosquito coil. (Owner should consider adding a silicone spatula for use with the non-stick cookware). We made breakfast every morning and a fairly elaborate dinner our last night. Grocery stores/restaurants are about 26 minutes away. Once you pull into the property, you will feel like you're on your own secluded tropical island. We loved our stay and hope to return someday.

This is a fantastic, clean, affordable and cozy place to stay. At night the wildlife wakes up and sings you to sleep with really cool croaks, tweets and whistles. It’s off the beaten path just enough to get some quiet, but still close to the main highway to reach the national park easily. Owner is very communicative and friendly. A+
