About this property

Tropical cottage with fresh rain water hot tub close to Volcanoes National Park

Enjoy the fresh rainwater hot tub after a long day's hike.  The hot tub is drained, sanitized, and refilled with fresh triple-filtered, chemical-free rainwater between each booking.  This cozy cottage is in the heart of Volcano Village with luxury features such as a heated towel bar and heated bathroom floor.  Only a few miles from Volcanoes National Park, and half a mile from the Sunday morning farmers market. Included with each stay is a gift basket with local products and samples. This rental has it's own direct internet connection.

This is a rainforest, so you will probably experience a shower or two on your adventure. Being a rainforest there are coqui frogs that sing at night that is unique to tropical climates. Please ask for earplugs if they won't allow you to sleep. Also, there are wild pigs. They are not someone's pets or livestock. Usually they are skittish, but mothers are less scared when with their young. The property is fenced and gated for your safety, but they sometimes still find their way in.

*New amenities include a patio heater, gazebo fan, and a level 2 ev charger compatible with J1772 andTesla Model Y/3/S/X.

Taxes include transient accommodations tax of 14% (11% Hawaii state plus 3% Hawaii County tax) and general excise tax of 4.712% (4.1885% Hawaii state plus 0.5235% Hawaii County tax)

Super comfortable for a couple. Interaction with host was easy and prompt. Cottage was spotless, bed was very comfortable, bathroom was clean with fluffy white towels and useful supplies. The covered garden area was a peaceful space to relax in after a day in the park or on the golf course.

Lovely luxurious stay

This cottage felt super luxurious with all the amenities and the ultra comfy bed. We had a wonderful time, ready loved the hot tub after a long day at Kilauea, the gardens were beautiful and lush. I especially loved the 'alala themeing of the property, it is what attracted my attention in the first place. Mahalo nui loa!

Paradise Found!

This cottage was amazing! It was even better than the description stated. A quiet, cozy respite in a tropical setting, with more amenities than you can imagine, this cottage fulfilled all our expectations and then some. From the fully-stocked coffee station to the extremely comfortable bed to the private hot tub, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it.

Great stay and location

This studio style cottage was great for our 2 night stay in Volcano. Bed is in same room as living room and dining room. It wasn’t a big deal at all for us but I wasn’t expecting it. It was 8 minutes from VNP. Quiet area and very clean. We didn’t use hot tub but looked really nice. Well stocked.

A Lovely Stay in a Garden Paradise

My husband and I stayed at Alala Cottage in Volcano, Hawaii for 3 lovely nights. This small but extremely well outfitted house was even better than expected. The host had thought of everything you will need to enjoy your stay- especially numerous ways to brew your coffee (Keurig, Nespresso, regular coffee pot plus a milk frother!) The gardens were beautiful and included a fish pond as well a hot tub. We spent leisurely mornings enjoying the flora and birdsong. This cottage is obviously close to Volcano National Park but don’t miss a chance to drive to South Point and beaches along the way.

Perfection

The cottage was exactly as advertised and exactly as other commenters have mentioned. We were extremely comfortable here and Garret (host) has really taken such great care in creating an exceptional experience. My GF and I spent 2 days hiking all over Volcano until pleasantly exhausted and then we had such a lovely place to relax, unwind, and recover. The garden/gazebo is beautiful and the hot tub is such a nice touch as well. Thanks for an amazing stay, Garret!

Peaceful perfection in Volcano

This was truly the most wonderful place we've ever stayed. The cottage was beautiful and full of thoughtful, artistic details. The private hot tub set amidst lush tropical landscaping was the perfect end to each day, and was a silver lining on the rainy days we experienced. We loved being on a quiet street so close to the park, which made it easy to pop back late at night or early in the morning to look at the eruption without crowds. We'd return in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our vacation so special.

Little Slice of Paradise near Volcano Park!

What a beautiful little cottage! Very private feeling. So many gorgeous flowers around the cottage and around the gazebo. The 2-person hot tub was fantastic for relaxing in at night! The California King bed was very comfortable. Bathroom has heated floors and a heated towel rack, great for cool mornings. Many thoughtful goodies left for us, including a nice bottle of local wine. If you’re looking for a special place near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this is it!

Perfect Visit

My husband and I stayed here for two nights while we hiked around Volcanoes National Monument. Garret was very accommodating and easy to correspond with. It was a very peaceful stay. My favorite part was the outdoor space with the hot tub and table. We ordered food from the local Thai truck and ate it outside. The grounds are amazing, I enjoyed all the different plants for sure. Inside everything was clean and all the little details were thought of. We highly recommend this place and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

We had the best stay in your tropical oasis

The cottage is surrounded by an abundance of tropical plants and stained glass artwork. The kitchen is a coffee lovers dream. Most importantly, the bed was super comfortable! I slept great after long days of hiking at Volcano's NP. The hot tub also felt great after those hikes. If you need to borrow something you forgot, everything you could possibly need; toiletries or an extra beach towels, sunscreen, a back pack cooler, even a yoga mat can be found in the closet. One of my all time favorite houses to have a few nights stay.

The most well appointed and cleanest rental ever!

Located 5 minutes away from Hawai’i Volcano park, I picked the rental for this reason and the hot tub…sounded so dreamy. I will remember it for these reasons but also that this rental was one of the most well appointed, stocked, and cleanest ever! From 3 coffee machines, a wine chiller, camera lens wipes, eye masks, ice cream maker to welcome bottle of wine. Peaceful, beautiful and well designed too. It would be a home want to own! Rent it if you can if you are visiting this location.

Amazing cottage in the woods

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy cottage in the woods near Volcano. It had all the amenities we could have wanted and more. The place was spotless, the hot tub was a perfect way to relax after exploring the area, and the outdoor gazebo with the propane heater made for great evenings even when it got chilly. The host had excellent communication—professional, timely, and helpful throughout. The location was ideal, just minutes from Volcanoes National Park, which made it easy to pop in and out throughout the day. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, with plenty of condiments, spices, and everything we needed to cook. And the coffee bar? Next level—seriously the bougiest setup we've ever seen in a rental! One heads-up: the property is gated, which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. It was a nice bonus for privacy and security, but it did catch us off guard at first. The bed was extremely comfortable, and overall the space felt peaceful, cozy, and very romantic—perfect for our anniversary weekend.

Cozy Comfort with a Big Dash of Class

My husband and I stayed in this cottage for two nights recently. We've visited Volcanoes many times and stayed at many vacation rentals in the area. Our experience here was among the best. Here's what we loved:Perfectly sized for a couple.A really comfortable king sized bed.A kitchen area that included everything you'd need for simple meals and great coffee (several types of coffee makers!)A well organized and spotless bathroom.Many special touches throughout the home such as a complimentary bottle of wine, a basket of local goodies, wonderful decorative elements related to the theme of the cottage.A lovely covered patio/lanai with a two-person hot tub, other water features and unique and colorful garden areas.The house is in a quiet, rural area which is a must for us.Communication with our host was easy and pleasant.The bottom line...we really found it to be great home away from where we could relax after our usual exploration of the Park and surrounding areas. We'd definitely visit again if we get an opportunity.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is quiet and secluded. There is a lot of privacy. Also, the plant life here is amazing. It doesn't get too hot during the day and is cool at night which I prefer.

What makes this property unique

Being in a rainforest, this property has many plants, flowers, and birds. New plants are constantly flowering, so your stay will always be different. Being at around 4,000 feet altitude there are less bugs like mosquitos bothering you. Volcanoes national park is less than 10 minutes away
