The owner sent messages and met with us and kindly told us where it is and what to do. There were local coffee for us to taste and interesting local travel books to read. She mentioned about the potential noise from the local Coqui frogs, but it didn't bother us and it sounded beautiful. She provided extra heaters for the room and the bed which was so convenient. We washed all dishes before leaving in the morning to show our respect.

Fantastic rooms, cosy, comfortable (very comfortable bed) and done with exceptional esprit. A unique experience. We actually looked forward to be back in the room after we finished our hiking tours.
Located on The Big Island of Hawaii, this accommodation is less than 5 minutes’ drive to Volcanoes National Park and Volcano Art Center Gallery. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all rooms.

We enjoyed the location. We like the extra things that was provided. For example; the cooler, beach mat, googles etc.
The surrounding landscape is very nice and cute.

The room was great; loved the atmosphere and comfort. Also, the Thai restaurant right down the street was exceptional. The proximity to Volcanoes National Park was also great. I would stay there again.
Located 1 mile from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this Volcano historical lodge features a hot tub. Lava viewing at Halema'uma'u Crater is 4 miles away.

Amazing little boutique hotel in the rain forest. It was quaint but well cared for. Great option to allow you to spend a full day exploring Volcanoes National Park and then have an early start on the drive to Kona (so you can stop for lots of adventures along the way). We loved our stay.
Volcano Eco Cabin Retreat is a chalet situated in Volcano, 16 km from Kilauea and 9.6 km from Volcano National Park's entrance.

Absolutely adorable cabin in a serene setting. The owners were very easy to communicate with, everything worked great. Great base to explore the Volcano NP region!

The green, beautiful lush forest-like atmosphere in Volcano was so breathtaking! It was peaceful and quiet (except at night) you could hear the little frogs (koki frogs) nonstop but you eventually rest and they fade as you get closer to sleep.
Even driving feels awesome!

The park was very crowded around dusk.
The park was very crowded around dusk. There were lots of cars and few places to park. It might not be that way if the volcano had not been erupting. Because of previous eruptions, part of the rim road was blocked making fewer places to actually view the caldera. Make a reservation at one of the 2 restaurants at the Volcano House for dinner around sunset for the best views. Take a sweater or sweatshirt. The wind was chilly in June. We ate at the Rim restaurant. The food was very good. Expect to pay over $35 per person without cocktails. We were dressed for a nice restaurant and were disappointed that so many people were so very casual. But, it is vacation and Hawaii.

The volcano itself was absolutely incredible.
The volcano itself was absolutely incredible. Doesn't matter how old you are, it's just one of those things that fascinates and draws you in. Must see for anyone who has the opportunity since you never know when it will shut down.

Volcano National Park is amazing!
Volcano National Park is amazing! I would plan to spend at least a day and a half there if you are visiting Big Island. There is so much to do - the highlights include hiking across a crater and visiting during the dark (after sunset or before sunrise) to see the eruption!

Although our accommodation here was nothing amazing, the location cannot be left out of your big island itinerary! I wish someone had have told us to visit the National Park after sunset (or at sunrise) before our final day here!! That would be my top tip to people staying in this area. It would have been great to see the glowing lava.

Got to see the crater smoking with hot lava, but the weather was cool and misty/foggy, so no "orange glow." The place was packed with tourists, even so. Parking lots overflowed. We enjoyed most the early morning (6am) walk to the eruption site: very few people. Many nene sitings. The Volcano House restaurant has a less-expensive sister, the Rim restaurant, right next door. Good food, great views, but like everywhere on the Island, trés expensive. Next time I would bring more money!
The location was great! Very close to both Volcano Village and to Volcano National Park. We enjoyed the quiet and spaciousness of the area surrounding the home. We rented two of the comfortable bedrooms; the third one was vacant so we had the whole house to ourselves. Leonard was very accommodating. We accidentally left a rain coat; he called us to let us know and offered to mail it back to us. We had questions about the TV--Leonard was only a phone call away and came right away to help us out.
Breakfast was great- in room pastries, yogurt, oatmeal, granola, fruit, juice, coffee, etc.
Location was excellent for visiting Volcanoes National Park, and also only a short drive to the town for restaurants.
Hostess was very helpful with suggestions for places to eat, etc.
Spotlessly clean.
Bed was large and comfortable.
Neighborhood was quiet and safe.
House and yard were very well kept.
The home was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was easy. Location in a rainforest just a couple of miles from Volcanoes National Park was perfect! The hot tub was an added bonus and great after a cool rainy day touring the park. The value for price was unbeatable. I highly recommend this property and will stay here again next time I am on this side of Big Island!
Good location (very close to Volcanos National Park), relatively affordable for area. Kitchen is fully furnished. Lack of air conditioning for property is unlikely to be a problem at that location. Pheasants live in the wooded area behind the house's backyard and can be seen most mornings and evenings.
Delightful little 5-room B&B surrounded by jungle and 5 minutes' drive from Volcanoes National Park. Room was extremely spacious (largest hotel closet I have ever seen) and came with a balcony. Hotel was quiet, and the communal kitchen and dining space was well maintained and well equipped.
This is authentic Hawaii at it’s boho-chic very best! Extraordinarily clean, just enough “kitch” to give it personality, fresh fruit and snacks, very sweet owners, right next to the National park. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs because the rainforest can be loud at night.
Perfect choice to stay if you visit Volcano NP or spend more days in a quiet environment! The room was perfect, there is everything that you need! Joan was really nice and friendly and the breakfast that she prepared was so delicious! I highly recommend it!
This place is EXCEPTIONAL! Every little detail is considered and the place is so comfortable. Breakfast included, doesn’t do justice to what is there waiting for you. These hosts are incredible and the property is the best we have stayed on whilst in Hawaii
Excellent access to Volcano National Park and local restaurants. Gracious hosts made us feel at home. It is a stay-here-again cabin. It's well appointed. The hosts programmed the entry gate and cabin locks with the last 4 digits of our phone number. Genius.
Great location to visit the volcano national park.
The town had a power outage when we were staying,
luckily the house was well stocked with torches and
warm blankets. Extra plus is the washing machine.
We loved our stay and would recommend.
Awesome location, perfect for exploring volcanos national park, hilo and other eastern parts of the island. The house itself is surrounded by lush green trees and gives a sense of living in the middle of a rainforest.
Fantastic place! The Rainforest was amazing to wake up to! They had breakfast food already in the fridge...5mins away from the volcanoe park.. Short 30min Drive to Hilo. Difficult to access if u don't have a car
The room was beautiful and the whole property sits inside the stunning Hawaiian rain forest. So close to the Hawai’i Volcanoes NP (5 min) that we could stop by the Kīlauea erupting right before going to sleep.
Very close to the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, with heat in case of bad weather. Extra blankets available, big variety of herbs provided, collection of shampoo etc. most probably from prior visitors
Great location close to volcanoes with lovely room with delish breakfast. Beds were very comfy and hosts communicative and gave us options ahead of our arrival. Definitely would stay again!
