  Greg's home rental was a super location for visiting all the sites that the Park had to offer. We found our new location easily with Geg's directions clearly outlined, and soon found ourselves quickly settled. The home has all the amenities, fitted into a very appealing set-up.Lots of room for everybody, well outfitted kitchen, games for the children. A totally pleasant and secure place to enjoy Volcano! It helps to bring groceries, as per Greg's advice.

  We really enjoyed staying here and would definately like to come back! It was close to Volcano with a great kitchen and fireplace. Property is clean and very well-maintained. Very memorable vacation!! Really easy to work with property owner. Definately get groceries in Hilo (KTA,farmers market) before heading up. Enjoyed hiking volcano, lava hunting, and driving to black sand beaches.

  We were an extended family of 11 (2 of our children with their families - 5 grandchildren ranging from 10 - 2). The house had adequate sleeping for all (we slept in living room very comfortably), perhaps the only slight drawback was that one bathroom was en suite so the rest of us shared the common one most of the time. The location is great, so close to the park and the village. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the spices and sauces we needed. The garden is lovely and secluded. So overall it was a great stay. Thanks Greg

  Excellent location if your main focus is VOLCANO, 5 minutes drive to the volcano national park. Quiet and dark (which is what we preferred!) neighborhood. The house is very spacious for a party of 4, a lux! Greg responded quickly to my questions/requests during our stay. He even went to guide me how to get a rental car deal and best place for grocery shopping while we were planning the trip. We found some grocery items left by previous renters in the kitchen. Very thoughtful! A sense of community! I'd rather them to be used than tossed out just because they are open. However, wish they had sorted out time to time. My son went thru all open items, checked expire dates and ended up taking a lot of them out. He emptied them, rinsed jars/bottles and put into recycles. All in all, we had a good time staying this house. Highly recommended!

  My family rented this house in November and had a great stay. It was located close to Volcano National Park, so we were easily able to visit the park both during the day as well as after it got dark. It was also about a 30 min drive from Hilo, where we picked up our groceries before arriving at the house. The photos of the house were very accurate, and we found the house to be in very good condition-the kitchen was very well equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, and everything was very clean. It was a very spacious house, and a large family or group could comfortably stay there. I found it very easy to correspond with Greg via e-mail, and then through texts while we were there. We would definitely recommend this property! Thank you!

  This house was very spacious, clean and well-equipped. We had a very comfortable stay here and it was an ideal base for exploring Volcano National Park. Greg, the owner, was easy to deal with and always quick to respond to questions by email or phone.

  We were concerned about booking online with someoe we were not familiar with but Greg was great. His communication is the best I have ever experienced. We were booking for the purpose of a wedding but the Groom received a job offer he couldn't turn down even though it meant our trip would have to be delayed. I sent Greg an email cancelling and within 48 hours our refund was back in our bank - unbelievable service. My arrival date given is not correct since we actually cancelled but a date was required.

  Our family was completely satisfied with the accomodations at the Volcano home. It was very well maintained and has all the updated appliances that anyone would need. The location was excellent for our trip to the volcanos, the weather was perfect. It was hot and humid in Hilo town, but the volcano home was nice and cool. Greg & Cindy do an excellent job in maintaining and communicating with their guest. Thanks you.

  We had a great time at Volcano Forest Escape. It was very close to the Volcano park and had all the amenties of home. Our kids loved all the channels on the TV, especially when we came back from hiking all day in the rain!
