Public review 5 stars!
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Hawaii, this A-frame cabin is an absolute gem. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street by Volcano Golf Course, it’s just minutes from Volcano National Park, making it the perfect base for hiking, exploring, or a round of golf. The cabin itself is cozy and private, surrounded by majestic old Ohia trees. After a long day, relaxing by the fireplace or soaking in the hot tub under the stars is pure bliss. The views are stunning—you can take in the beauty of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa right from the property. This is truly one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. Whether you’re escaping for peace and quiet, or just looking to immerse yourself in Hawaiian nature, this place has it all. Highly recommend this wonderful retreat—I can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our time here. It is an amazing location, with the NP so close by. The cottage is a little closer to glamping, but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay (for us, a week).

This property is in a great location in the Volcano area with easy access to the national park. It is only a few minutes to the visitors center and a short extra drive to some of the restaurants in town. The house in on a very nice piece of land with beautiful flowers and backs up to a golf course. There are two A frames right next to each other that share the hot tub, which in on a big deck in between the houses. This isn't a luxury stay as the house is a little older, but it is comfortable and the location can't be beat for exploring the park.

Very good location for park access, a bit limited for food options nearby, but the local brewpub had excellent food. No real heat so it was a bit chilly in early Oct. Could use some more thorough cleaning but nothing was gross. Did not try the hot tub, it looked a bit murky. Overall the property is showing some age but was comfortable enough and a great location for the park.

We enjoyed our stay

The property was quiet and enjoyable. We used the hot tub and found the location and ease of access to Volcanoes National Park great for our vacation. Due to what I think was time zone differences, I did have to book the location twice before I was able to get the confirmation.

Quiet, great stay for family vacation

We loved our stay here. The cabin is definitely that- a cabin nice and quiet, with most anything we could need for our stay, close enough to the volcano national park but away from the busier places when we were done for the day.

Quiet stay by VNP

Beautiful location overlooking a golf course, with scenic views of nearby volcanos. Short drive to VNP. Definitely a bit chilly in winter, but there are space heaters and plenty of blankets. Cabin is well equipped for cooking.

Location was good

Good location. Very close to volcano national park, the area around the property is private and beautiful. However, the Property is in need of repair, the back exterior patio door is broken and doesnt lock, there is a hole in the deck near the hottub with caution tape surounding it, loose boards on the step, leaking sink pipes in bathroom, the tv wouldnt turn on and an over all musty smell and feel. I didnt end up staying at the property. I left shortly after check in. I attempted to contact the owner at the contact number given, i left a message and did not recieve a call back.

Perfect location in a cozy cabin

Loved everything about the place, and more importantly the location. Cozy, in nature, plenty of space, super close to the park. My only constructive feedback would be to replace the caulk in the stand-up shower and the sliding back door doesn’t open very well. Thanks for the cool experience!

Rented both cabins for my family and I. The cabin was cleaned and stocked well. The yard was great for the kids and the location was quiet and peaceful. Palila had a bigger kitchen and Nene has a bigger bathroom. A screen door on Palila side and sliding glass doors on Nene side were broken and the hot tub was poorly maintained. Other than that, we were really enjoying the property until a man arrived in the middle of our stay unannounced and started unloading supplies and working on the hot tub. I wasn't given any notice of his arrival and when I asked him to come back after we checked out he responded with needing to prep for the next guests and that it was the most convenient time for him. It was extremely uncomfortable and interrupted our access to the space for a few hours.

Cabin feel on the Big Island

When we got in, the place had not been cleaned but nothing was overly dirty, laundering easy and as a result the owner waived our cleaning fee. Overall, I thought the place was a bargain for the price and our family of six fit nicely. Since volcano is higher in elevation, it is colder there than the surrounding areas and the numerous heaters in the house were put to good use!

From check in to asking for a lost item, communication has been terrible and what you think is a bedroom is actually the living room.To address moldy sponges, no paper towels, and no lighters for the fireplace (it was cold and our only heat source) the host gave us another number to call for all things but booking. The number didn’t work. I asked the after hours plan and got an answer that said I had to wait.The second bedroom is actually the living room. They’ve turned the front entry way into a “bedroom” by putting a door between the entry way and kitchen.To find this place they email you instructions to look for the sign 32 and let you none of the maps work to find it. They could give you a pin or an actual map, but they don’t. And good luck with the sign.. it’s wood and blocked behind a bush.Finally, my 4 year old left his blanket, I reached out and heard nothing. Instead the host gave me a bad customer review. I’ve stayed at many rentals and this was the worry communication, direction and most misleading host I’ve ever experienced.

Health risk

Although a wonderful location in Volcano close to the National Park, we were very disappointed to find this rental full of mold. From the walls, to the bathroom, to the bedding, to the plates and utensils, there was an unacceptable amount of mold throughout the property. Another issue we had was the lack of bedding for the sofa beds...there were no mattress protectors or sheets for the 2 sofa beds. We could not get the oven or spa to work. All in all, a disappointing place to stay. We hope the owners get the property thoroughly cleaned so that no future guests need to deal with the mold.

Great location, not very well maintained

We loved the location and the cottage has great potential. Unfortunately, it is not very well maintained or cleaned. The kitchen, bathroom and floors were not very clean. The carpets and rugs turned my socks black. The bathtub did not drain well at all and was quite gross to use. There were several space heaters to keep warm, sadly, only one would run at a time or you would blow a fuse. We were scared to open or use the hot tub, seeing as how little the cottage was maintained. The two cottages on the property are very close together and close to the golf course and lacks curtains for privacy. Note that the pictures in the ad are a combination of picture from each cottage, so you may not get exactly what is shown. Close proximity to the park.

Wonderful little rustic cabin

We loved the design and location of this cute cabin. It was super conveniently located near the park entrance and a few good restaurants. Entry was easy and finding it was easy since we pre-located it on the map before we left the rental car agency. Washer and dryer were helpful and the area was pretty.I recommend staying at this adorable cabin but I think it is important to know what to expect. There is no central heat, but there are multiple space heaters. If it is cold, it is advisable to start those immediately upon arrival. We arrived late and were uncomfortable leaving them running at night so it was a cold first night. There was a wood stove with an extra log, but no kindling or newspaper to get it started so we had to scrounge through our belongings to find some materials and burned through a few paper towels. The cabin had a musty/unpleasant smell in the main room which may partially be because it was winter and you can't open up the windows to freshen it up. The carpet could definitely do with a proper cleaning and an area near the stairs smelled suspiciously like urine. Each home has it's own single parking space, but the neighbors need to pull all the way up.I gave this cabin a good rating because there were many wonderful attributes (we didn't have time for the hot tub). Set your expectations like you are "glamping" and embrace nature and the beautiful surroundings. We would definitely stay here again.
