Quiet comfortable and fun. Dirt road access very bumpy but was part of the fun. Innkeeper very helpful and treehouse was well stocked.

This was a wonderful place to spend a few nights! It is quiet, peaceful, and roomy. The bed was the most comfortable we found on the entire island and the kitchen is well stocked.

Beautiful house up in the trees. Loved staying here with lots of creature comforts

Great house, great location, loved it! One FYI: the bathroom walls don't go all the way to the ceiling so you can hear family members using the bathroom. We managed fine.

When I originally booked this for me and my wife, it was when the lava was flowing at Volcanoes NP. As often happens, the lava stopped some weeks later. "Oh well!" I thought, "We'll just go and see what there is." However, just before we arrived from Maui (we had been on Maui 7 days prior) there was another eruption...nothing too major but an amazing sight nonetheless, especially at night. I mention "night" because this place is literally a hop, skip and a jump from the entrance to the park. Some folks at the night viewing had traveled 2 hours just to get there and were looking at a 2 hour trip back to wherever they were staying. Not us. Availability at the Lodge there at the park? Nothing till well after August. Pricing? Much more than we paid for this very quaint "treehouse." I gave all 5 star ratings except for cleanliness. It's not that the place wasn't clean, it just had lots of cobwebs scattered around that hadn't been brushed aside. But hey, this is in the middle of the rain forest! I just wanted to mention it in case someone might have an issue with cobwebs. In my case, I'm a 70 year old hippy so no issue. Aside from that, it was a gift to be near the NP...and at such a quiet rustic place so close to nature. The iron stove heater in the living area worked like a charm. We used it to heat the place in the wee hours of the morning. We did bring starter logs, and it only required an additional few pieces of wood to heat the home up nice and warm. Recommend? Absolutely!

Wonderful location for visiting Volcanoes National Park - less than 15 min from the door to viewing Kilauea! We enjoyed the beautiful flowers and birds that surrounded the treehouse cottage and the nice privacy it provided. We took lots of walks in the surrounding area and always felt happy and safe. Hope to be able to visit again some day!

We really enjoyed having a little home in Volcano. We spent the mornings at the park, and the afternoons exploring the rest of the island. The space was perfect for us and we had a wonderful vacation.

Just a cool place.

Great experience at the treehouse. Exactly as we expected. Good communication and safe area. We will be back - when the lava is active :)

House had all amenities and was a beautiful property. Really enjoyed the stay.

The treehouse was amazing! The surrounding rainforest made you feel like you were miles from anywhere. The host had thought of everything that you might need during your stay, including sunscreen. I would definitely book again.

It is a beautiful house in the ferns.

The Treehouse is perfectly located to enjoy the Hilo side of the island. The location feels like you are in the rain forest when out on the deck. The owners are responsive and helpful.

We wanted to be close to Volcano National Park and this place was a perfect spot! The house was just the neatest place! Great communication with the owner as well. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, cozy, tranquil property surrounded by a rain forest. Perfect getaway - wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely little treehouse overlooking hapuu ferns and Ohia trees. The lanai was a perfect place to sit and listen to the birds when it was not raining. The electric fireplace kept the bedroom nice and warm. It is convenient to the park and Volcano Village. We especially enjoyed viewing the crater in the early morning before the crowds began to gather. Matt was very easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Our stay at the Tree House was amazing, everything we expected and more! It was actually quite easy to find and the location was perfect for us to go back and forth the Volcanos National Park for hiking and viewing Kīlauea. The property was beautiful, quite and serene and had all the modern amenities (and more) we needed for a comfortable stay. We did not have a chance to use the wood stove and found the electric mattress pad and electric heaters to be enough to keep us cozy. Only thing I really missed was seeing the incredible view of the stars that everyone talked about since we had cloud cover every night. We loved the Thai food from Aunty Pon's Food truck and Thai Thai restaurant. There were not a lot of places in that area that were open later so be sure to plan ahead. If we return to that area of the Big Island this will be the first place we look to stay! Thanks for having us at your home!

This was a great place for the outdoors lovers that don't want to be in the middle of all the Hussle and Bussel of tourist attractions and want to enjoy the outdoors, trails f Volcano NP to traveling to all parts of the island all while being away and to yourself great place Scott & Nika

Close location to National Park. Very quiet - aside from birds singing. We’ll appointed house with love for details.

This was an eclectic property, perfect for the two of us! It allowed us to explore the Volcano Nat'l Park features, and easily traverse the east side of the island.

Perfect Treehouse cabin Hale in the fern forrest by Volcano village . Cozy & peaceful. Wonderful owners very responsive and thought of everything! Mahalo

Convenient and comfy for visiting Volcanoes NP. Great light and authentic Hawaii rainforest experience. Perfect for 1 couple. Wifi very fast and secure. Google maps worked beautifully, as did Matt's map.

Very nice property surrounded by beautiful dense jungle. Feels secluded even though it is not all that far from other houses. Some barking from a nearby dog in the evenings. Inside is nice but you must be into a little rustic feel, which is fine with us.

We really enjoyed our stay at this adorable, private and quiet treehouse cottage so close to the park! Everything we needed was supplied and the lack of A/C was not an issue. My husband scoffed at the heated mattress pad and heaters supplied but we ended up using them, ha! The kids were very comfortable on the futon sleeper and were glad of the extra blankets in the cottage. We used the washer and dryer as well. We forgot to purchase paper towels and there weren't any, also we were confused about the recycling vs trash. All in all it was a fabulous place! Warning, if you like to have groceries on hand or food, buy it in Hilo - the store was closed on Tuesday and we were at the park all day on Wednesday so we had to commute both times to buy supplies.

We have stayed at the tree house more than once and it never disappoints! Thank you for sharing this magical retreat and keeping it so special. S & N

This was our second stay at Hale Hubner, and it was every bit as good as the first! The location is perfect: very close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and on the edge of the town of Volcano, and yet in a secluded and private location. The feel really is of being in a tree house! My favorite part of the cabin is the large and well furnished lanai: the first time we were here it rained too much to use it, but this time we got enough sun to spend some time out there surrounded by the rain forest. Truly lovely, private, quiet and restful. I also think this place is an excellent value: I encourage other visitors to add time to their trip to Volcano: much less expensive here than most condos on the Kona side, with more privacy, and there is so much to see and do! Next time we plan to stay a week. There was lots of wood for the wood stove, which was nice to see, but it was warm enough Memorial Day weekend that we didn't bother: at night we just turned on the electric fireplace in the bedroom area. Only one real issue to keep in mind if you cook a lot: there is no dishwasher, and we found ourselves spending more time and water than we would have wanted doing dishes. However, there are excellent restaurants in Volcano, so that might be a good excuse for others to go out more. The other potential issue that turned out to be a non-issue: we wanted to visit the National Park at night to see the currently active lava lake/crater eruption (definitely a must do!) and we were both a little nervous about finding our way back to the cabin at night in the dark, and it does get dark at night!. The road to the cabin from the town of Volcano is paved the entire way, but it is one lane in places, without streetlights (a good thing for star gazing) and goes through a semi-rural area with lots of vegetation. However, there is a light you can leave on that is visible from the road, and as it turned out, it was not even a concern at all after we memorized a few landmarks along the way. I don't know why we were even worried, but given that landmarks helped, I do recommend coming for the first time during daylight hours if possible. If not, be sure you print out the instructions Matt will give you, they are excellent. (as is his communication in general). Once again, I recommend this place highly, especially for those looking for a lovely, comfortable cabin in the rain forest as opposed to a high end, luxury experience. Don't skip Volcano! Thank you Hale Hubner!

The accommodations were amazing! We felt like we were staying in the tree tops! Loved the privacy, very nice accommodations. It had everything we needed and was so close to the state park.

My husband and I had a wonderful 4 days at Hale Hubner and we loved every second of it! Lots of space for the two of us and a fabulous deck surrounded by jungle, but still so close to Volcano Village and the National Park. Superb location and Matt was such a great host! We would love to come back! Mahalo Matt, for a perfect vacation!

This cottage is comfortable, clean, and relaxing, with magical views of the tree fern forest. Easy to reach the volcano area and beaches. The furniture is really cool and fits the cabin style. I personally slept on the futon and found it really comfortable – much more sturdy and comfortable than a typical futon. We hope to be back someday. Mahalo.
