About this property

Volcano Kahaualea Cottage, a perfect place to explore the East Side of the Big Island, from the village of Volcano, Hawaii. Retreat from the world in privacy on 3 acres of lush forest.

The interior has vaulted ceilings throughout the single space and lots of windows onto the green surroundings.

The kitchen with concrete counters has a full size range and oven, refrigerator and enough counter space and small appliances to prepare meals. Dining seating is at the high top table for two inside or on the back lanai. There is a comfortable loveseat and SMART TV for streaming entertainment in the living area.

We've stocked the home for your comfort and use during your stay in Volcano. E Komo Mai (Welcome)!

Beautiful Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our stay. The home was emaculate; very clean. The kitchen is nice. It had everything needed to prepare meals, which we did each day we were there. We fell asleep each night listening to the frogs and rain hitting the tin roof. We had a very nice stay!

Beautiful, clean and private property

We spent the last part of our honeymoon here, it was incredible so clean and private. We loved to hear the rain in the middle of the night so relaxing. I also very much appreciated the property managers reaching out a few times to make sure our stay was great!

Tropical Forest Getaway

We loved this cottage! It is away from everything, you barely can see the neighbors home. Sooo quiet at night except for birds and frogs. The cottage was everything we expected from the pictures and description. I highly recomend this place. Keep one thing in mind-you are isolated, the tropical forest is dark at night, you must drive a dirt road to get there. If this sounds good to you it is. Perfect for our visits to Volcano National Park.

Beautiful location but uncomfortable bed

We loved the location and property but the bed was pretty uncomfortable. Only reason why I removed one star.

Lovely Cottage. Great Location

This was a fun place to stay for our visit to the big island. The gravel roads leading to the property and the density of foliage make it feel remote, but you are a short drive from Volcano Village, VNP, and Hilo. Inside the cottage is beautiful and clean. We definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if we ever return to this area. A few things to consider: 1) Grab any groceries you want in Hilo or someplace you see on your drive from the south, before you get to Volcano. 2). Bring your warmies! It can be damp and chilly in this rainforest, especially at night.
