  This is a perfect location for visiting the Volcano National Park. It was a pleasure to stay in this beautiful home. The photo's do not do it justice. The owner were responsive and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Mahalo for the fruit and bread. We stopped at the bakery on our way to the airport and it was great. The kitchen had everything you would have at home. We were completely amazed at how well everything was stocked. They provided a detailed list of restaurants and things to do in the area. The Thai restaurant is outstanding. We stayed 3 weeks on 3 different island and have traveled and used VRBO many times and have never enjoyed a place more than this property. I would recommend the property to anyone traveling to the Big Island. Mahalo Jim & Candy

  Owner response: Aloha Jim and Candy, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. But most of all I'd like to say "Mahalo" for choosing Ohia Plantation House as your home in Volcano. We do our best to make sure that everyone has a place that they can call home. To have a home that they are able to relax and enjoy. I hope that all of our guests are able to feel the love and Aloha when they walk through the front door. E Komo Mai! I hope that you'll be able to stay with us again. Mahalo! Cliff and bernadette

  The Ohia Paniolo cottage is very nice, clean and well appointed. We had an excellent getaway; the cottage was very comfortable and well maintained. We really enjoyed the hot tub in the fern forest. We recommend this cottage and these owners, they take pride in delivering a very nice experience as well as providing little extras that made our stay even better.

  We arrived to find the cottage clean and very nice. There was hot tub which we used one night after doing a lot of hiking so that was a big bonus with my kids. The location was close to Volcano National Park which made it convenient. Overall it was one of the nicer places to stay in around that area and I would gladly stay there again.

  We (husband and I and two teenage children) stayed in a few different places on our trip to the islands and this was definitely the best. It was everything we needed and more. Very private and beautiful yard. We arrived to find a bowl of fresh tropical fruit (pineapple, papaya and bananas) plus Taro sweet bread and pancake mix for our breakfasts. We made a delicious fruit salad every day we were there. They provide an abundance of information and books about sights in the area as well as information about local restaurants. The hot tub was very welcome on the chilly Volcano nights and after long days of hiking. All this for a great price and it is less than 5 minutes from Volcanoes National Park! We couldn't have stayed in a better place! Mahalo!

  My husband and I spent several night here while exploring Volcano national park and the southeastern area of the island. Although the houses in this neighborhood are close together you have complete privacy thanks to some thoughtful landscaping. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and in good condition and the hot tub was great after a day of hiking. The National park was a very quick drive which made viewing the caldera at night very easy, Hilo was also an easy drive, about 30 min away. This house could easily fit 6 and was a much better value than any motel I found in the area. A few reviews I read mentioned pastries, fruit, and juice for breakfast but I would caution against relying on this. It is native themed, which means nuts in many things so people with allergies should beware and although some of the fruit was good a lot of it was rotting so I was glad that we had brought breakfast items with us from the target in Kona.

  Owner response: Thank you for your comments and I would like to apologize for the fruits and native themed complimentary self-service breakfast. The breakfast that we provide for our guest 1st morning contains local grown fruits (2 papayas, 1 pineapple and bananas), and bread item such as sweet bread, croissants or a cinnamon loaf. These items are purchased the night before or the day of our guest’s arrival. I personally go to the market to purchase them myself to make sure that they are fresh for our guests. Included along with this there is frozen orange juice, a bag of banana pancake mix, Instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, teas, coffee, sugar, creamer, butter, jelly and syrup for your pancakes. As for the native themed, Hawaii is a multicultural state and the food here represents that. It is what makes Hawaii the special place that it is. We do our very best to provide our guests with the best accommodations that we can and hope that we can satisfy everyone’s needs. We have pride in our home and the services that we provide our guests. Your satisfaction, comfort and enjoyment are important to us. I hope that you will stay with us again in the future. Mahalo!

  We had such a wonderful stay at the Ohia Paniolo. The cottage is very comfortable, very private, with a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to make home cooked meals. The hot tub is a special treat, also very private, and we spent a lot of time out there after our busy days. Bernie and Cliff have thought of all the little things that make a place feel like home, and we were greeted with fresh pineapple and papaya. We would gladly stay here again next time we are in the area.

  My husband and I spent 4 days in the Ohia Paniolo cottage. We very much enjoyed this very cozy home away from home. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped. The nice touches including beautiful fresh orchids made us feel very welcome. And the hot tub...! It was so relaxing to soak in it after a day of serious hiking in the National Park. We also enjoyed the nice barbecue. Many thanks to Bernie and Cliff. You are doing a great job. We hope to return and will also recommend your properties to family and friends. One piece of advice for future guests: Buy ALL your groceries either in Kona or Hilo. The General Store in Volcano has very little to offer( no fruits or vegetables while we were there) and is very expensive. We had dinner at Thai Thai restaurant and the food was very good.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.

  Great care & thought went into the Ohia Paniolo Cottage from the generous breakfast items of bread, fruit, hot chocolate & coffee to the well stocked kitchen to the hot tub/BBQ area complete with counter & sink. The washer & dryer came in handy, too. It was a nice surprise to see laundry detergent, dishwashing soap and shampoo/conditioner provided. The beds, pillows & comforters were wonderful. When you laid in bed, it felt as though you were on a cloud. The addition of the luggage racks in each bedroom was a bonus. The location of the Ohia Paniolo Cottage was great. It's minutes to the small town of Volcano as well as to Hawaii Volcanoes Nat'l Park. Be sure to drive up at night to the Jaggar Museum in the nat'l park to see the glow of the lava. Don't forget to look up into the sky. The brightness and the amount of stars is breathtaking! Bring flashlights - it's pitch black walking the short distance from the Jaggar Museum's parking lot to the view point. What a great place to stay!

  The Paniolo Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. It has all the charm you would expect a cottage to have and the owners Bernie and Cliff go well out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have all the traveler information you need to make your vacation complete. All the unexpected amenities and breakfast items were truly just another of the many things that made the cottage a home for us, not just a place to lay our head for the night. The beds and pillows were something out of this world, like falling into a cloud of softness. I could go on and on, so I'll just say there couldn't be a better place to stay, except maybe Cliff and Bernie's other home if you need more space. Thank you Cliff and Bernie for the Aloha you showed us and for sharing your beautiful cottage. Grandma Jan, Donna, Kaitlyn and Malia

  My wife, myself, and our 6 year old son stayed in this charming and comfortable cottage for 3 nights in January 2011 and were amazed and delighted with the thoughtfulness and care with which Bernie & Cliff had prepared it. We had been to the Big Island before, and wanted to have some time to enjoy seeing Volcano park without trying to cram it into a single rushed day. I'm so glad we did, and even happier that we stumbled upon the Paniolo cottage. Inside, you have every comfort you might wish for, including a generous welcome gift of bread and fruit. Outside, you're nestled in a private lush fern forest - a very soothing contrast to the endless sunshine of the western side. Our stay here provided a perfect balance to our trip. A calm, quiet oasis of rain forest adjacent to the spectacular Volcano park. I've stayed at a number of VRBO listings. By a wide margin, this one was the best. Stay here - you'll always cherish it!
