This house was EXACTLY what we were looking for and needed. The location was great for our trip to Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea. We also took day trips to some other locations. While the house was more of a place to rest and relax and we spent more time away from the house than in it, the house fit our needs perfectly. Peaceful, clean, very comfortable sleeping arrangements, and a great DVD selection!

An amazing place to stay. The house is beautiful. The place was impeccably clean. The beds are super comfortable and the place is a stones throw to the park.

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Remember to empty the dehumidifier and you will be very comfortable!

This place exceeded our expectations in every way! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for an incredibly clean and organized home in a beautiful, lush setting. We especially appreciated the binder full of information and recommendations for the area. This was by far our favorite place we've stayed through VRBO!

Terrific

We loved this place! It was even better than the listing. Quiet neighborhood, close to the national park, and short drive to Hilo for supplies. It was tucked away in a beautiful, enchanting cloud forest, surrounded by tree ferns and tropical plants. The home was spotless, comfortable, and well stocked. We loved the decor- felt like home, with personalized touches and mementos. Spacious, but still cozy. We loved all the different lanais. The beds were great. My husband has a bad back and he liked the mattress better than ours at home (what kind is it?)! I hope we can return some day!!

This place was so peaceful and had beautiful artsy touches throughout. Super comfortable and well stocked.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was beautiful from top to bottom. Beautifully decorated, beautifully located, and completely stocked with everything we needed. We would return to this house in a moment.

My wife, 10 year old daughter, and I stayed at the Hale Mauka for two nights and we loved it! The property is very clean, and the amenities like dishwasher and washer/dryer are incredibly clutch. We used this property as a jumping off point to explore Kilauea and you couldn’t get any closer with these amenities than this. Also, with a full kitchen and screened in porch dining room, we ate dinner in what felt like the middle of the jungle for two nights. Very cool! Pros: location, cleanliness, big soft beds, amenities Cons: none!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first time renting a house for our vacation and this was the perfect choice for our family of 4. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Location was perfect (5 mins away from VNP). Small grocery store and few restaurants in volcano village near by. Also loved that it had some beach chairs that we could use for a beach day. Would definitely recommend this rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the rainforest at Hale Mauka! The property was as described with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living area and nice outdoor furniture to enjoy the sounds of the rainforest. The property was very convenient to Volcano National Park and Volcano village restaurants and also an easy day trip to see sights around Hilo. Our two favorite activities in the area were the Kilauea Iki hike in Volcano National Park and Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve near Hilo. We also enjoyed several meals at nearby Ohelo Cafe. It was a nice touch to have the manager check in on day of arrival to make sure we had arrived safely. If you're arriving after dark, there are no lights in the area, highly recommend you take the management company up on leaving some lights on! I would not hesitate to recommend or stay at this property if we're in the area again.

The property and residence exceeds whatever expectations one may have based on the listing photos. Words that describe Hale Mauka for our 3-night stay include privacy, peaceful, and relaxing. This is definitely a place we will stay at on our next trip to Volcano and that’s the best accolades one can provide.

Nice quiet clean place. Enjoyed it very much. It's right near the Hawaii Volcanoes National park. Highly recommended

Great location for visiting Volcano National Park. I’m very glad we stayed for 3 night so that we could explore the area and do some hiking. This is maybe our favorite vacation rental ever. Close to the park but felt very secluded. House had everything you could need and more.

Property was in a great location and well equipped. We would definitely return for another visit.

This cabin feels roomy for a small family, and has character and style. The decor is cool and tasteful, the spaces made me wish we had a longer stay. There was enough room for us to each have some restful time to ourselves, but a lot of little spots to spend time together, too. We were hiking around Volcano NP almost the whole time we were here, but it was really great to come back to the house at the end of a long day. My daughter loved exploring around the house, and had a lot of cool things to show me outside. There was a real sense of privacy while also feeling open to the woods. This place is great, and we hope we’ll be able to return someday!

What a treat! My family of four (kids 11 and 14) loved this place. We’d absolutely rent again. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

We had a very good time. The property is beautiful.

This as a great property. We usually stay at Volcano House, but this was a great option. The house was amazing and we loved it. Great kitchen, comfortable mattresses, lovely setting. We will go back again.

Great place to stay while visiting the Volcano National Park.

The family and I really enjoyed our stay. The location was super convenient to access the park as well as restaurants in the village and the home itself was nicely furnished for a comfortable couple of nights.

Great location for more time spent near Volcano & Village. All 4 guests were more than pleased with the property. Property managers went beyond the call of duty with a special request to make the stay special and memorable. Only recommendation is that "half bath" description is a stretch. Toilet shared mud room and was open (louvered pocket door and opening at ceiling above door) to the kitchen. Suggest adding a vent fan to exterior and closing opening at ceiling with glass or glass block. "Super" full bath (including separate shower & soaking tub plus high-end toilet) made up for it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been coming to Volcano for years and have stayed in myriad rentals. This was by far the best experience so far. I received a text from Sabrina on the morning of my arrival, introducing herself and instructing me to get in touch should anything come up. The house was clean, well appointed, and well explained. The house book was very thorough, so read it well. I spent most of my time at the volcano, which was a five minute drive up the highway, and it was super nice to come in after a chilly sunrise hike, start a fire in the fireplace, and make a hot cup of tea in the giant mugs they provide. I’ll also add that a lot of properties in volcano have cleared a lot of the close forest away from their houses. This house is practically hugged by giant tree ferns and ohia trees. It makes it feel like a hidden rainforest cabin. The weather was clear the entire time I was there - a rarity - but I could easily imagine loving that cup of tea in the huge porch while the rain came down on the ferns. I was lucky to find availability here for the exact days I needed — it was entirely booked up otherwise — so if it’s available for your visit, take it.

Private and comfortable this charming house is in the perfect location to visit the Volcano national park. Great beds, well-equipped kitchen, we had everything we needed. Absolutely loved our stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a super clean and cozy place to relax.
