  The house was so handy to Volcano National Park. The house was very very clean and so toasty warm. We all recommend it highly! Fun toys for kids. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. Great place

  The house was clean and very comfortable. The use of a telephone to call home was a big plus. The location so near the National park made it easy to come "home" for lunch and a rest and then head back for another short hike or ranger talk. We also went back to the park at night for activities. Just remember to get groceries in town but getting to Volcano.

  My wife and three children (8,6,2) just returned from our stay at Ohana House and it was more impressive than advertised. The attention to detail was incredible. The owners have great taste! The location is the absolute best for being near Volcano National Park. Would recommend everyone to stay at Ohana House if you are in the area.

  The Ohana House is a little gem! After a long flight from Australia and four days of touristic madness on Oahu it was a sheer relief to drive down the long drive and find our little 'cottage in the rain forest' waiting for us. It was immaculately clean and well presented and amply equipped with all that the weary traveller could possibly require, including four large bedrooms, two bathrooms (each with a hair dryer) a well stocked pantry, a fridge, washing machine and dryer and a very helpful printed and illustrated Guidebook produced by the owner which explains in great detail all that you need to know about what to see and where to go on the Big Island generally and in and around Volcano in particular. We spent four idyllic days exploring the rain forest, the volcano and the surrounding coastline. We found the Ohana House to be an ideal base for hiking and trekking in the rain forest and the various restaurants in the nearby village of Volcano were all very welcoming to hungry hikers at the end of a long day and provided an interesting and varied range of fare. Overall the experience of staying in the Ohana House was better by far than anything we could possibly have hoped for and we will forever hold fond memories of our time there. We strongly recommend it to travellers and adventurers of all ages!

  We enjoyed our visit to the Ohana House but felt the house was a little tired and worn down. On the positive side, the house is very close to Volcano National Park and it is very easy to travel to Volcano Village where the thai food is spectacular! It was also pretty easy to find the Ohana house. The directions were very good, as was the other area info the owners sent us. We appreciated that. On the downside, there was a musty smell as soon as we opened the door. The dishes must have been washed but not dried before being put away, as the bowls and pots had pools of water in them. The sheets on 2 of the beds obviously had not been changed, as there were long hairs on them. The furniture in the main room looks lovely in the photo but it is worn and tired looking in person. Overall, it was an average experience.

  Owner response: I'm sorry that you were not thrilled with your stay at the Ohana House. We've been renting the house for five years and truly this is the first less-than-glowing review we've received and we take that quite seriously. Since we live on the mainland, we rely on our guests' comments to guide us in the management of the property. Thank you for letting us know where we can improve. If there has been one area that our guests consistently rave about it's the cleanliness of the home, so your issue of the "obviously unchanged beds" is a surprise. I will talk to our housekeeper and see if she perhaps used a substitute that day to get the house ready for your visit. Of course unmade beds are unacceptable! As you can imagine, all houses in the rainforest have to deal with moisture, and we take extra steps to ensure that the house is comfortable, dry and completely free of mold. I will also make sure that our de-humidifier is on and doing its job before guests arrive. This is the first comment we've received that the furniture is looking worn. Thanks you for alerting us. We continuously invest in the home to make it one of the best vacation rentals in Volcano, and it would seem that new furniture will be next on our list! In the past year we've purchased a new water tank, on-demand water heater, and new gas heater/fireplace to make our guests more comfortable. Thank you again for the input. Mahalo.

  We felt we were living like locals in the rain forest. This property was a well maintained and clean accommodation in a very convenient location to Volcano National Park and local restaurants. The property had all of the amenities you needed, including a very well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the view out the picture window and the nice large dining table. The sofa and love seat could have been more comfortable – but that only motivated us to get out and see the National Park. Great value for the money and we will plan on staying there again when visiting Volcano.

  We are four couples from Washington State who spent two nights in September at the Ohana House. The home is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. A picture window beside the dining room table looks right out into the rain forest. It was also very well stocked with items we might need, including flashlights. (The owner says the flashlights tend to disappear, so bring your own as well.) We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. Be sure to arrive at the house before dark because it would be hard to find at night for the first time. We ate one night at the Thai restaurant, which was very good. The other night we barbequed steaks at the house. Even though the grocery stores in Volcano are small, both of them had Big Island steaks in their freezer sections. And they were great. The other restaurants looked good too. Be sure to go back to the Jagger Overlook in the Park after dark to see the orange glow over the active portion of the crater. It was awesome. Take flashlights because there are no lights left on. We were advised to go after 8 so all the tour groups would be gone. We also drove to both ends of the Chain of Craters Road and really enjoyed seeing the vast expanses of various lava flows. Finally, the art gallery next to the visitor center features Big Island artists and is wonderful.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing.
