When we walked in the door we instantly felt spoiled! This place was very clean and cozy and fit our family and needs perfectly! The town of volcano is so quaint and makes it easy to access the southern parts of the big island. This house was not to far from the main highway and we enjoyed our stay there. The laundry machines, showers, and cookware were great! Thanks for hosting us and our tribe!

Nestled in the heart of Volcano’s lush rainforest, Kilauea Cottage offers a secluded and private getaway on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Surrounded by towering ohia trees, vibrant ferns, and the soothing sounds of nature, this cozy retreat is designed for travelers who want to escape the hustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the serenity of the Hawaiian rainforest.

The home features 2 comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a versatile loft space, making it perfect for couples, families, or a small group of friends. A full kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals, while the warm glow of the gas fireplace invites you to unwind after a day of exploring. Step outside to the spacious lanai and enjoy your morning coffee in complete privacy, accompanied by birdsong and the cool mountain air.

Guests often describe their stay as peaceful, restorative, and inspiring. Many love the jungle-like setting, the sense of isolation and tranquility, and the convenience of being only 5 minutes from Volcano Village. Whether you’re visiting Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, hiking through lava fields, or simply seeking a quiet place to recharge, Kilauea Cottage offers the best of both worlds—serenity and seclusion, with easy access to dining, art galleries, and local attractions.

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by nature, Kilauea Cottage is the perfect place to call home during your stay in Volcano.

Note:
◆ Security camera on the front porch, takes snapshots, no audio. No noise decibel monitor.
◆ The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote and benign tropical rainforests in the world. Nevertheless, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast.

Peaceful Oasis

The home was in a lovely neighborhood & easy to find and access volcano national park. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked. The only complaint was that it smelled a bit funny and felt a bit damp but that is to be expected in Volcano.

Family get together

Recommend accommodation for a group..our group of 7 consisted of mum dad and one son from Australia and son wife and two grandsons from U.S. Location was 5 mins from Volcano National Park and 40 mins from Hilo. We spent 5 days here after 9 days south of Kona and feel we chose ideal locations to enable us to explore The Big Island.

Great place, with plenty of room inside, cute kids room and a nice lanai. The unit upstairs has a separate entrance and does not have a bathroom.

House in native forest

Quiet location in the middle of native ohia rainforest. The house has many amenities. Note its not stocked for avid chef, but you can get by with everything they have to make good family meals. Great space for kids, nice outdoor areas. Parking and security with the gate is very good. Excellent location for adventuring at Hawaii volcano national park. It was a great space for our family adventure. Thank you so much.

Welcoming home/plenty of room

The house was very comfortable and welcoming. Lots of room to let the family spread out. Love that it had a dining room that fit all of us for dinner. Having Two bathrooms was very helpful. It rained every night we were there and coming from the desert, we enjoyed it. Fell asleep to the sound of the coqui frogs every night. You feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest all by yourselves. Make sure you bring your groceries from the bottom of the mountain; only one small convenience store close by.. though they have a good amount of things…they close early.

Sounds of nature

We had such a wonderful time at this remote place. There are 3 bedrooms on the main floor & one private room upstairs that had an outdoor entrance with no bathroom access up there. It was also a nice surprise to see a kitchen sink with a reverse osmosis faucet, a separate filtered water faucet, and a regular faucet. During the evening, you will get to hear the frogs croaking and hopefully see the milky way on a clear night. The location was amazing - only a 5 min drive to the entrance of Volcanoes National Park!

Dissapointed

Very musty smelling. The dehuidifier helped in the great room, but in the bedrooms. There is actual visible milldew on a large portion of the ceiling in the bedroom with the bunkbed. Not worth the money, in fact a refund should be in order for those conditions

Property was as advertised. Nothing fancy, but very homey, quiet, and comfortable. Some rooms were converted - outside room was attic and side room was perhaps a mud room. These rooms don't have closets. I would recommend that you purchase your groceries before arriving as the closest real grocery store was about 20-30mins away. The location is very close to Volcanoes Natl Park which was super convenient. There are no close-by beaches, but the drives to them are worth it. We visted Black Sands beach (30mins) and loved seeing the turtles and yellow butterflies!
