Beautiful home in the trees

We had a wonderful time at this home. Beautiful interior and views all around. Very private and quiet. Perfect for a nice romatic home for couples.

Quiet and quirky

It was a truly unique property! Loved all the personalized touches and the serene space. The sleep situation was not ideal for us however. I may have overlooked this in the description, but the second bedroom is a walk outside of the main living space, basically a separate apartment. We have a toddler and were not about to have her sleep out there by herself. Other than that, it was a great spot and super close to the national park.

Amazing!

We loved our time here! The property is just like the photos and it's so close to Volcanoes National Park. There was an eruption the day we arrived and we were able to get to it in 10 minutes. It's also just beautiful to be surrounded nature. A comment: there weren't any blinds/curtains, so be aware when the sun comes through in the morning.

Enchanting cottage

Wonderful property with so many lovely design features. Very comfortable and well equipped. Great for exploring the park. You can buy milk and snacks at the volcano store but should bring other groceries. We loved the gorgeous garden and the spa bath! The only downside was we were there during a full moon. It was gorgeous but there are no window coverings and it was like having a spotlight shining on us at night! Highly recommend this property.

A gem in the rainforest

What an adorable cottage in the middle of Volcano. Minutes away from the national park, but the property was secluded and an oasis in and of itself. My husband and I stayed on the top floor and our two teen boys had their own place down below with a separate entrance and bath. We loved the open air concept and kept the windows on the second floor open all night. The boys didn’t want to risk it on the first floor, so they slept a little hot. Backyard garden was idillic and fun to explore. Be warned that the road coming into the property is narrow and not in the best shape. We were glad to have a 4 Runner, not only for the rest of the island, but to get in and out of the property. A wonderful stay. Well equipped and designed.

Favorite Place on the Big Island

Maile Treehouse was our favorite place we stayed around the island. Surrounded by trees and plants, truly felt we were in paradise. Both the 1st and 2nd floors have separate entries, we chose to stay upstairs because of the openness and kitchen. Close to Volcano National Park, Volcano is a charming community with local art galleries and tasty food trucks.

Wonderful!

We loved staying at this property! I went on a 2 night trip with a friend and wish we had stayed longer! Such a beautiful home in the lush rain forest. I definitely want to come back and stay a couple of more days with my family. Just FYI there is a bit of bumpy dirt road to get to the house and the driveway is a bit narrow to get in and out of but no big deal.

Peaceful and natural, perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After a week in busy Honolulu, this was a wonderful nature retreat. All you hear are birds, and all you see are trees. The cottage is charmingly decorated with Hawaiian themes. Everything we needed was provided. Saltwater Vacations sent us accurate arrival information and texted us to confirm that we were able to access the property. The location just outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was perfect, as we made multiple trips into the park each day. The only thing I would suggest to make it better is to add some window coverings in the bedroom. The light woke us up VERY early in the morning. But we knew this going in from the photos in the listing.

That was a cozy and nicely laid out place, with an artistic touch. It is 10 minutes away from the Volcano park. We absolutely enjoyed staying in this cabin located in the midst of the beautiful fern forest, it was an unforgettable experience for us.

Peaceful and comfortable. A great place to recharge. For two days we didn't leave except to walk along the road and enjoy the flowers and the fowl. Very close to the volcano park but like being tucked into a rainforest. Excellently equiped.

Charming and unique

The treehouse was very comfortable and clean. There were lots of personal touches that make this place very unique and interesting. Situated in a densely wooded area, there is only one neighboring property visible so we felt we had great privacy. If you are coming in after sunset, be sure to follow their directions and have a flashlight you can shine on the mailboxes for the house numbers.

Volcano Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! This place was amazing! We really liked this facility. It was clean, well appointed, comfortable, very well represented from the on-line description, and best of all quiet and relaxing. Customer service was wonderful. We received a welcoming text upon our arrival with immediate contact information should we need help with anything. So nice to be close to the Volcano National Park, the Volcano Village, and Hilo only half an hour or so away, yet the place had a feeling of tranquility and remoteness. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing Hideaway in Volcano!

Our stay was great in the treehouse! The house is so beautiful all the wood is very easy on the eyes. The spa tub and the shower were pleasantly unique! We enjoyed every aspect of our stay, from check in to check out, we didn’t have an issue at all. The WiFi was great and there’s some good eating nearby. The only thing we didn’t love was the windows did not have screens, otherwise we would have left the windows open more because the weather was always beautiful at that elevation. Overall amazing stay! I would recommend this to my family if they are ever in the area.
