Listing looks great, but could benefit from an update. Not a big deal but the hot tub was no longer on the property. The sauna was awesome though! We missed our warning, but to future visitors know the road is gravel and the surrounding area is dark. We appreciated the recommendations for things to do/eat as Volcano is quite small, but nonetheless wonderful. Cleanliness was unfortunately lacking as we were met with some dust, cobwebs, etc. we did come across some flies and ants during our stay too. All around a fun stay though and we’d surely consider returning for another stay in the future.

This property worked great for our 3 night stay in Volcano. We loved the rainforest setting and enjoyed the sounds of the forest at night. Having a kitchen was great for prepping lunches to take with us on our hikes and as we explored the east side of the island. Being able to eat breakfast and dinner without going out was also great and saved us lots of $$.
Host was very responsive to any needs we expressed. Special thanks for the fresh delicious eggs!

Our stay was fine. The location is lush & beautiful, although not quite as secluded/private as the listing suggests. The bed was very comfortable & we had plenty of blankets & towels. It got quite warm & stuffy indoors during the day and without AC it was tough to cool the house down, even at night when the air outdoors was much cooler. Many of the screens in the windows had holes in them & let in lots of bugs while trying to cool the place down. The WIFI was spotty. The shower curtain was moldy. I agree with previous reviews stating more usable “flat” space would be helpful to hold toiletries & suitcases, etc. The road leading to the house was dirt & very rocky - a word of caution to those renting economy/midsized cars like us. This spot has potential to be a great rental if the owners put a little more thought into usable/practical things for renters over decor - ie. Toilet paper holder & shelves on the bathroom walls, baking sheet for the oven, screen door on the front door, etc. Overall our stay was fine but if we’d stayed longer than a couple nights I imagine we would have needed to purchase more essentials to have a comfortable extended stay.

Of the 3 places we rented on the Island, this was the best. Spacious, comfortable, and the best sleep we had (other than the 4am Rooster shenanigans). The Bathroom had plenty of hot water, cushy bathmat, & lots of towels. It would benefit from a shelf for toiletries & more than 1 towel hook (nowhere to hang a hand towel near sink). Hooks on the back of the door for the provided robes would have been great.
The Kitchen was large & had a good selection of pots & pans, as well as a spacious fridge. Coffee was disappointing (Folgers, & only enough for 1 pot). It would really benefit from a water filter & some cloth kitchen towels (only had non-sustainable paper & plastic bottles of water.)
The bed was extremely comfortable & the space had multiple fans, lots of windows, & provided a symphony of night sounds. Deep hot tub (lid was VERY heavy & no place to hang a towel or robe), gorgeous yard, solid Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV. A power strip near the desk would have been nice.
Overall, a LOVELY stay.

Loved the place. The roosters were a little annoying, but we got used to them. We definitely will stay there again.

Very clean and convinient, close to Volcano activities, roosters around are a bit noisy in the am, but overall would strongly recommend

We thought the property was wonderful, private,secluded, comfortable. We loved the hot tub, ample towels and anything else we needed. You do hear the the early morning roosters and nighttime tree frogs, etc. but that was part of the adventure. Wish there was some "flat" space in the bathroom to accommodate toiletries and a larger dresser for clothing so as not to live out of a suitcase. Some bottled water was provided but bring more since the unit uses catchment water. Great place, we loved it!

The property was great. It was the perfect location to enjoy Volcano national park. The cottage was just as described and so cool even in the summer. We would definitely stay here again.

Room and hot tub were fine; kitchen lacked adequate microwave and oven containers, no baking sheet, some pots need handles tightened. Loud roosters screaming already at 3 am and keep you awake. Eggs in basket outside (in warm weather ...) for apparent use by guests well intended and appreciated but ... how old were they? One of us got VERY sick (fearing salmonella poisoning) after eating a boiled egg!! No contact with host after checking in. OK with us, but strange ...

We LOVED our stay here. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The frogs at night were so beautiful to listen to while relaxing in the hot tub. Robes are provided and PLENTY of towels. There’s a heater inside in case you get chilly (we did). Everything was lovely and we would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for having us!

What a gorgeous little escape! This little cottage is at the back of a subdivision a few miles east of Volcano. Follow the owner's directions, not Google's. Nice little hot tub to relax in the mornings and evenings. The home is very tastefully decorated, with a nice bathroom, and a functional but spartan kitchen. If you plan on extensive cooking, or making quality coffee, plan on bringing your own stuff (good pans/knives, coffee grinder, press). But it's perfectly sufficient for simple breakfasts, with excellent dining in nearby Volcano village. There was a styrofoam cooler available for picnicing, which is always nice.
We'd return to this place without hesitation!

Great place for a quiet getaway for two. The cottage was clean and well stocked. The hot tub was a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay at Brenda's property! It truly has a secluded getaway feel, with a private driveway leading to a cottage nestled in the forest. The property has treehouse vibes, and at night you fall asleep to the natural sounds of the forest (frogs mostly I think?) and rain. There is tons of natural light from the many windows which we liked - just note that sleeping in can be hard since the curtains only cover the bottom half of the windows, so bring a sleep mask if that's your intention. The vaulted ceiling makes it feel so spacious! King bed was very comfy. We also appreciated that the TV had access to almost every major streaming service (Netflix, HBO, disney plus...). Hot tub was awesome to soak in at night. The best part was being 5-10 minutes drive from the national park! Highly recommended.
