Dancing Bamboo Cottage - Your Cozy Getaway Near Volcanoes Nat'l Park

Aloha and Welcome to the Dancing Bamboo Cottage!

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is located on 3 acres surrounded by the Big Islands upcountry rain forest. Lush guava and bamboo jungle, beautiful anthuriums, large Ohi'a trees and Hapu'u ferns surround the property. And you're minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has a whole new look after the great eruption of 2018 that closed the Park for several months!

Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Ferns. The units are fairly close in proximity but have no shared space other than the parking area, so don't be alarmed if you see a vehicle when you arrive. The outdoor areas are on opposite sides from each other and there is space between the units so your privacy is assured. If you need more room there is a discount for renting both units together.

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is a detached studio located just outside a beautiful country home, Dancing Ferns which is also available for vacation renting. The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large king bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, WiFi, DVD player with a selection of movies, coffee pot, hot plate, microwave and mini-fridge. Please NOTE: there is NO washer/dryer, no phone (cell service is good) and no air conditioning (at 3,500 ft elevation the air is naturally cool).

What to Pack:
The Island of Hawaii, aka the Big Island, boasts over 4,000 square miles and 10 different climate zones, within which are many micro climate zones! You may think that packing your favorite swimsuit and slippers (flip flops) is enough, but not true if you plan on doing any hiking or sightseeing around the island. The Volcano area can get quite chilly with temperatures dropping down to the low 40s at night, sometimes lower, so do bring your favorite warm pajamas and at least a light jacket. It actually snows often on Mauna Kea, but they close those roads whenever there are blizzard conditions present.

Rates are for single or double occupancy. Cleaning and other fees will also apply.

Need more room? Our main house, Dancing Ferns, is a fantastic place to stay too. Dancing Ferns has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, large dining area, large living area with SMART TV, Free WiFi, and a large covered lanai (patio). Book BOTH for a discount - ask us how!

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Nice cottage off the main house. Very clean. Everything just as listed. Only issue was NO HEAT, and we stayed during one of those rare times it does get cool in the winter, 50's outside at night, makes it low 60's in the room. Maybe we should have known better, but now you do too.

Cute!
Cute cottage! Nice, private, happy to have a heater there. Toilet handle wasn’t working properly, could use more utensils and spices for cooking and clean sponges for doing dishes. Loved taking a hot shower there. Overall, cozy stay.

Lovely setting, very remote. Clean, comfortable accommodations for the three nights we stayed. Ten minute drive to the Hawaii Volcano National Park and Volcano village which was convenient. We met local family at the park each day to explore and hike in the National park. The internet worked very well. The shower was lovely, nice hard shower and plenty of room. We would recommend this property!
