My husband and I had a delightful stay in this cottage. The cottage itself and the grounds were so nice! A perfect hideaway tucked in the rainforest. Next time we come back to see Kilauea we will absolutely be staying here!

This was literally a perfect place to stay. The location was perfect and provided easy access to the national park, which was good because Kīlauea erupted during my stay. Amazingly clean and the tranquility of the location cannot be beat.

Gigi’s cottage is a magical slice of heaven on earth. The gorgeous jungle landscaping extends all the way from the entrance up the drive and surrounds the delightful cottage. On one side of the cottage a garden path winds through the beautiful canopied foliage and flowers with a bench in the middle to perch on and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. The terrace in front is equally charming with potted plants, lighting and a beautiful fountain. Stepping into the cottage we found everything immaculately clean, comfortable and beautifully styled. You really do need to see it to believe it! Gigi’s cookies were also tremendous and being 6 minutes from the park was just the icing on the cake!

The property felt like we had walked into a Rainforest magazine , with the most beautiful plants & flowers! Gigi went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and especially appreciated her helping us keep an eye on Mt Kilowea so we wouldn't miss the eruption!

Lovely Cottage near Volcanoes National Park

Lovely, very comfortable, very clean, private cottage with beautiful plant-life and garden. Communication was excellent. It's a nice place to stay in a very quiet, off-the-beaten-path part of the big island.

Gigi's cottage was the best vacation property we've ever stayed in! You can tell how much care she puts in to each stay - the cleanliness, the information she sends about the surrounding area, to the immaculate and beautiful grounds. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into making the stay perfect for each guest. We felt like we were in our own private oasis, and like some other guests have mentioned in the guest book, we were immediately inspired to copy some of the ideas for our own landscaping at home. It was tough leaving the property each day because it was so relaxing being there. Thank you for an incredible stay, we hope to be back again!
