Gem of a cottage in Volcano

We were smitten with this house. Beautifully simple, clean, and pretty cottage in the rural village of Volcano. 5-10 mins from the National Park. Very comfortable mattress. Cozy sheets and blankets. Cleaner than any other place I’ve ever seen in Hawaii. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Daze Gone By Revisited...

A perfect place to “go back in time” to a very simpler Hawall. Immaculate home with a very warm and comforting vibe. My couldn’t help but reminisce about her vista to the village and park as a keiki. The place took right there as soon as she set foot inside. But don’t let that give you a pause if you are want of modern features. All appliances and entertainment is current, modern era, including internet access. We hardly left during our trip with the exception of a couple trips to Suisan in Hilo for fresh fish. Thank you Paul for truly being a perfect host - and very quick to respond to any questions that we had! We came to unplug, relax and soak up the natural sounds and catch up on our reading lists with the occasional song or two and it couldn’t have been better.

Perfect location for visiting National Park

We had a great stay. The house is very close to National Park and we were able to go two early mornings to view lava flow at Kilauea volcano. We felt like we had a home away from home.

True Hawaii

Col-Villa is an amazing property with an ideal location to explore Volcano National Park and the Hilo side of the island. This vintage Hawaiian home has modern amenities that reflects the owners attention to detail and it's historical past. The king bed was super comfortable and everything in the home was upscale. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family.

Rainforest magic

This is the place to be if you’re staying Volcano Village! Col-Villa is a well cared for historic home with lots of charm, minutes from Volcano National Park. The sounds of rainforest birds greet you in the morning. When it was too rainy for the park, we were able to enjoy the fireplace and cooking in the kitchen. Kirk was very kind and responsive, and left a great guide in the home with restaurant recommendations in the Village. Could not recommend this place enough!

Quiet retreat near Volcano National Park

This is a charming and historic home near the park. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood which was delightful as well. The bathroom was a little tight but there were towel warmers in the bedrooms with luxurious towels. Overall, a lovely experience.

Mountain retreat

This property was amazing. Perfect location to everything I wanted to do on the big island. The house was bigger than I thought. The pictures do not do it justice. This was really an amazing spot and worth every penny.

Historic Paradise

We feel in love with the home and it was the perfect place to spend Valentine's Day! Quaint, quiet and the perfect location for our 3 day tour of Volcano National Park. We especially loved being outdoors watching and listening to the native birds flit around and chirp in the wind. My husband even saw the Hawaiian hawk! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The house was very comfortable. Access to the national park was excellent.

Staying in this house gave us a sense of what life must have been like in an earlier, simpler time. We really found it comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for us to see more of that part of the island without a long day of driving getting to and from.

Great base for exploring Volcanoes National Park!

Our family of three spent 3 days at Col-Villa while we explored Volcanoes National Park. Col-Villa was exactly like the pictures! It was a great space for us to relax after a long day of hiking. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I keep wanting to call the house ‘cozy’ but it is way too big for that. Comfortable might be a better word. We appreciated the fresh cut flowers in the living and dining rooms and the towel warmers in each bedroom. I can’t say enough about our experience. It was really great!

Lovely stay in Volcano

This was a stay that we surprisingly enjoyed more than expected. Having decided on a somewhat last minute trip to visit my mother in the new year, we were so happy to have found Volcano Village. What a charming place, utterly wild, yet manicured. The house, fully contained within itself, stocked with everything you should need, was a welcoming refuge after full days spent exploring the National Park and environs. The furnishings were especially well-suited to the locale, and reflective of good design and upkeep. This is our first stay at a rental as we usually prefer luxury hotels and resorts. Well, this was a much worthwhile detour from our usual. We will always remember our brief yet memorable time here, marked by a very special peace and tranquility of place. Thank you for your hospitality.
