Fire place was warm enough, very nice and cozy stay. Property is very beautiful, we loved our stay. Property owner went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable
The kitchen was fully stocked with all you need to cook which is really helpful for us and especially because Volcano doesn't have a ton of options for restaurants. Everything felt clean and you could tell the place was really cared for.
Super fun Tiki theme/ Hawaiian decor. Very well appointed. Lots of helpful info in the cottage and sent by host, esp in regards to the volcano. We were there for episode 41, and we're thankful for the portico to protect our car from Tephra. Great for a couple.
What a great place! We had a wonderful stay at this cute tiki cottage. The hosts had Hawaiian music playing when first arrived which was a really nice touch. Very well maintained grounds, beautiful flowers throughout. The tiki decor in the house was so fun and very well done. We had a relaxing evening on the lanai listening to the rain and kept cozy with lots of blankets because it does get cold at night. There was a heated mattress pad on the bed which was lovely. House was very clean and host was great with communication and tips on what to see in the area. We would stay here again without question!
Perfect place to stay for easy access visiting Volcanoes National Park. This cabin was very well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the rain forest setting and spent mornings sitting on the porch enjoying our coffee. We hope to come back to visit again.
Kitchen had everything we needed from wine screw to over implements to cook dinner. Outdoor grille as well. Clean place. Great tub, amazing decor and space, as well. Host was easy to talk to and this place was easy to find with great WiFi and an amazing fireplace and TV set up. Wish we could have stayed longer.
The kitchen was fully equipped. The bathroom and shower were great. The personal touches made us feel right at home. Our stay was short but sweet! Thanks so much!
Cute, well-appointed, just enough distance from HVNP to avoid the crowds at Volcano House in the evening. Great communicators, comfortable beds, beautiful outdoor space, and their friendly cat next door was a bonus for our kids who missed their pet.
Was a nice enough place, if a bit cluttered, and a bit small for a family, but we booked last minute. Comms were good and check-in was easy enough. A good option for small groups looking to stay near the NP.
We had a wonderful time in Volcano Village. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything one might need. It’s hard to beat the location within minutes of the National Park. We enjoyed breakfast on the covered porch that allowed us to enjoy the gorgeous setting even on rainy mornings.
We enjoyed a very cozy and comfortable stay. The property is stylishly decorated and well appointed, a comfortable place to relax after a long day walking in the National Park.
It felt special to be here.
My husband and I stayed for a few nights and the property was so peaceful! We loved relaxing here and all the amenities were great. Our flight was delayed upon arrival and the hosts were very understanding and flexible about the check in process. We will be staying again!
Amazing place to stay. Mark was wonderful and easy to communicate with! The kitchen was fully furnished for cooking and beautiful. Very cozy and comfortable. We look forward to coming back again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay at Hau'oli Place in Volcano. It was a well equipped, peaceful, beautiful property and an easy drive to the national park. It worked well for our family of four. We would stay here again without hesitation.
This is a beautiful cottage with all the modern conveniences to make your stay very comfortable. The grounds are lovely and it is so enjoyable to sit on the huge veranda and listen to the birds. It is close to the Volcano National Park which has many trails and activities to keep you busy for days. We loved our stay here.
Absolutely loved this house. Perfect for our anniversary staycation in Volcano. From the moment we stepped into the house we felt comfortable. It has a full kitchen, huge comfortable lanai looking out at the beautiful landscaped yard and nice living room area with the fire place. The bed was comfortable with the heated mattress, the bathroom was clean an stocked with towels. It was a quick drive to the Volcano National Park and an easy drive to Hilo. We would definitely stay here again.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed . Very quite area and the hosts were very nice. We stayed for 2 weeks while working /playing . would recommend this home.
Wish we could have stayed longer! This home was special in every way! We spent a lot of time on the lanai with the string lights. Kitchen was well stocked, mattress very comfortable, and great location!
We've stayed multiple places in Volcano over the last 10 years. This is one of the best for the price. It has a nice, full kitchen, beautiful lanai and is in close proximity to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We enjoyed several nights out by the fire pit, but also relaxed on the lanai, eating most of our meals there.
Very cute place, full of tiki stuff. Large backyard area, beautifully landscaped. Well supplied kitchen. It gets COLD in Volcano at night. This place has a heater in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, and one in the living room plus a fireplace. We were always comfortable, would definitely stay here again.

The little tiki cottage was fantastic! Can’t say enough about the location (super close to Volcanoes Nat’l Park entrance), the backyard, and the character of the house. A perfect quiet place to serve as basecamp for our big island adventure. Worked great for our family of 4 but would be really good for a couple or solo traveler as well. Hosts are super communicative and welcoming. Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Worster
We have been traveling to the island for years, and two years ago decided to make it our forever home. We love to travel, love good food, and have fallen deeply in love with our Hawai'i home. Volcano is a special place and we can't wait to share it with you!
Why they chose this property
Beautiful craftsmanship, privacy, and all the comforts of home. Why stay in a hotel or someone's mother-in-law apartment when you can have a beautiful home all of your own!
