Garden home close to Hawaii National park
Super cute place! Exactly as described. Loved how private the property feels. We were there with our kids but it would make a great romantic getaway. The kitchen is very well stocked. Loved that they had electric blankets because it definitely gets cold at night in Volcano. This place is a great location if you're looking for somewhere near the Volcano National Park.

Liko Lehua Cottage-Furo Hot Tub on Deck-Fireplace
My family enjoyed our stay here at Shannon's place in the rainforest in Volcano! I loved the attention to detail: shower slippers, pineapple accents, gorgeous furniture and artwork, cozy blankies in the living room, really comfy beds, and toys for kids. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and I appreciated the teas and coffee. The water from the taps tastes pristine. My favorite thing was soaking in the furo tub on the deck and listening to the rain and the coqui frogs sing. We spent 3 days exploring Hawaii Volcanoes NP and this was a perfect place to unwind after our days in the park. I also appreciated your suggestions on things to do in the park and places to eat. Thank you!

Forest House - Volcano Rainforest Retreat
My husband & I enjoyed our stay here. Everything about our stay was PERFECT! The aesthetic, the surrounding, the atmosphere and vibe was outstanding! We only stayed for a night but waking up to the view of a rainforest was beautiful. The hot tub was amazing especially when used at night because the air was crisp and cold. Very relaxing and peaceful. 10/10 recommend to anyone who considers staying here. We will be back!

Guest Cottage - Volcano Rainforest Retreat
Amazing location, beautiful cabin, lush nature, and all the tasteful details… this place has it all! We loved it so much we were about to go back a week later again!

Volcano Tea House Cottage-SpaBath-HotTub-FirePlace
I had the best stay at this Airbnb. It exceeded my l expectations. This is a really special Airbnb in a tranquil location. There were very few cars and cute wildlife roaming around freely. Idyllic for a peaceful getaway! The bed was the most comfortable that I've ever slept in at any hotel or Airbnb in the world. It felt like sleeping on a cloud. The hot tub was ergonomic and comfortable for two people. The bathroom was so beautiful and equipped with everything you would need and more! The kitchen was stocked with many cooking supplies, including basic oils and spices, drip coffee and a smorgasbord of Tazo teas in multiple varieties. It's also incredibly close to volcanoes national Park. I was able to visit multiple times and see everything I wanted to see, and even return to the Airbnb in between whenever I wanted to because it was so close. Highly recommend!

Bamboo Guest House - Volcano Rainforest Retreat
Our stay at this beautiful place was magical! Was better then described and even better then the photos. The lush surroundings, the beautiful sounds of the forest and the gorgeous cottage all made for a perfect stay. We loved the soaking tub and the breakfast. We will recommend this place to our friends and we will definitely be back!

Puna Rainforest Retreat Hotspring: Blue Ginger
Truly amazing property. The blue cottage was awesome, comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The spring fed tubs are really awesome, especially the jungle tub. We went almost every morning and evening. Truly amazing before sunrise. We will be back!

Sanctuary Cottage - Volcano Rainforest Retreat
Gorgeous place to stay! Very conveniently located to VNP. The grounds were beautiful. The tub was a perk after days of hiking in the park. If we’re ever back in Volcano, we will absolutely book again. Thanks to the wonderful staff who were very helpful!

THE COTTAGES AT VOLCANO - Hale Manu (Bird House)
We had a magical stay at the Bird House. After hiking at Volcano Park, the house was a peaceful oasis. The furnishings, “bird” details added to the fun whimsical vibe. It was delightful.

Bamboo Jungle Cottage Near Ocean ~ Honu
We had a really nice, relaxing weekend!!

Simply Paradise
My husband and I stayed at for the first part of our Big Island trip at the cottage. The host was very friendly and responsive. The cottage was tucked back in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed the sounds of the frogs at night and the birds in the morning. The wild chickens/roosters definitely made their presence known. If you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs or music (although we didn’t mind). The neighborhood was safe to walk to watch the sunrise over Paradise Cliffs. Location to other attractions was convenient with still feeling off the beaten path. The cottage was clean and comfy. I recommend this stay and would love to visit again. Mahalo to our hosts. :)

Historic Estate - Guest Cottage
The guest house was a lovely place to stay in a fantastic setting for our family of 4. We especially liked staying in such a well-maintained, 130 year old building. It was a peaceful place to come back to after exploring the east side of the island.

Romantic, Private Cottage Nestled Away in Volcano
This cottage in Volcano Village was soo cozy and beautiful! Staying here gave us quick access to the Hawaiian Volcano National Park (only about 15 min drive). The hosts gave us plenty of supplies for anything we needed. We had a bit of an issue with plumbing, but Aubrey was quick and got it taken care of efficiently. We would love to come back in the future 😊

Kahule Cottage
The home is simply magic. The moss garden, the forest filled with ginger and flamingo lilies, the birds that sing us into peace that surrounded the home. Walkable to one of the most delicious restaurants, 5 minute drive to Volcanoe National Park. The beds were incredibly comfortable too. When I get the chance to return, I will definitely look to stay at the home again.

Fiddlehead House - Secluded Rain Forest Retreat
A really special place for exploring Volcano National Park! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Cedar Cottage in Volcano
We loved sitting on the couch gazing out at the surrounding forest. Had to bestir ourselves to go see Episode 15 of the Kilauea eruption.

Tropical Hilo Haven - 2BR/1BA Convenient Home
Jason was a great host!!! within walking distance from down town so it was very convenient.

Hilo Paradise with HOT TUB
Had a great time in this private and peaceful accommodation. Ashley was very friendly and responsive and provided us with privacy and easy communication. This place provides a unique and relaxing glamping style stay. It rained very hard the first night and sounded beautiful as it’s an open air room but still felt very secure and everything stayed dry. After the rain the coqui were plentiful so it may not be for everyone but I found it to be soothing and peaceful. My only recommendation is maybe to hang a mirror in the shower room or in the kitchen/bathroom area. Mahalo for a great stay!

Heavenly Haven - 3BR/1BA Hilo Home
The place looks gorgeous with the plants in the garden and a nice looking relaxing living room. Our host is very welcoming and helped us with the luggage as well as greeted us when encountering us when we arrived. Loved the experience.

Paradise Haven - Charming & Cozy 3BR/1BA Home
The place was conveniently located within walking distance of the HILO downtown district, where you will find local shops and good restaurants. There are also three supermarkets within 1.5 miles and a short drive to other national chains of stores. You are also near many attractions, including the beach, all within walking or short driving distance, with easy parking. The house offers private parking, which was nice. However, there are some stairs to climb as described in the listing, so it's not wheelchair or elderly-friendly if you carry a lot of heavy luggage. The house came with some basic cookware, and with a short distance to the supermarket and local farmers' market, you can save a lot of money not eating out if you choose to stay in and spend time with family. I would 100% stay there again or any property that Jason is listing. Great Host!

Your own private cottage- hear the ocean!
Kelly’s place was perfect. Quiet, private and lots of covered outdoor spaces with lots of room. The home was clean and had everything we needed. She even had a nice notebook filled with things to know and do around the area. We enjoyed our daily walks to the ocean and met lots of people enjoying the area. I would recommend Kelly’s place for anyone who wants to enjoy all that the East side of the Big Island has to offer.

Hawaiian Beaches Multi Unit Rental
We loved Autumn's jungle cottages and would recommend her place. Great for small groups with separate accommodations. Beautiful outdoor gathering bbq area and every kind of plants. highly recommend

Volcano Mist Cottage ... a very private residence
Beautiful spot in the jungle near the volcano. Super private, jungle hottub was definitely the star of the stay. Communication was great.

Unique 3BR Eco-Retreat w/ Volcano Views & Beaches
Quiet, cozy place to rest after going out. Make sure you take time to view the night sky whenever you wind down. The lava rocks and the background is a surreal experience. The kitchen is well stocked and the bathroom is clean. There are plenty of coals if you want to bbq. Bring your own water and food supplies. The only con I have is mosquitoes. Make sure you have mosquito repellents. Thankfully, the beds have curtains over them. Don’t be like me and forget to utilize that before sleeping unless you want to wake up with mosquitoes all over.
