Thank you for sharing such a charming and tastefully decorated cabin with us! We can tell how much thought and care you’ve put into every detail. The view from the windows is beautiful, and the sound of frogs at night adds to the peaceful, slow-paced atmosphere. We felt so relaxed and comfortable during our stay. It was truly a lovely experience!

Perfect vacation spot!

It was a lovely property to stay at, hidden amongst the rainforest with lots of privacy, yet also close to the Volcanoes National Park. We enjoyed the vegan/vegetarian food options close by as well!

Excellent Location for a Honeymoon

My wife and I stayed here for five nights during our honeymoon, and we absolutely loved it. At the end of our stay, we wished we didn't have to leave so soon. All in all, an ideal location for a private, romantic getaway.

I never wanted to leave. Everything in this cottage has been done with care and an eye for detail. It is nestled in a rainforest with windows that wrap the space in light. Although small, it feels large due to the high ceilings, windows—even the placement of mirrors. On chilly nights, the fireplace is a special comfort. The hosts have clearly labeled everything and added touches like a handheld shower and heated towel bars. They are also very welcoming and generous hosts. In 35 years of travel, this is one of my favorite places to stay.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and beautifully written review. You captured exactly what we love most about the cottage—the way the light moves through the windows, the feeling of being tucked into the rainforest, and those cozy evenings by the fireplace. We’re honored to be among your favorite stays over the years. You were a wonderful guest, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Volcano Haven

This was a unique property! Felt like a treehouse in the middle of a rainforest. So cozy to cuddle up by the fire and drink hot tea while looking out at the beautiful trees and flowers! Thank you Candice and Richard for the lovely stay!

4 Days at Volcano Haven

We were absolutely delighted with Volcano Haven! The house had so much personality and charm - it felt like a hug the moment we walked through the front door! It was super clean and BRIGHT with so much attention to all the details - not to mention a BIG binder with all kind of information for local attractions and tips for visitors. We happened to be there for 4 days of RAIN and cool weather - so made good use of both fireplaces! It would have been a less successful trip if our accommodations had not been so cozy. Thanks to Candice & Richard for making our time at Volcano Haven so memorable :)

This was a lovely home in a great location. Nicely decorated, with beautiful, peaceful views of the forest. It was like staying in a tree house in a fern forest! Only 10 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, which allowed us to view the Kilauea eruption easily. It was an incredible experience and something we'll remember for a lifetime! We were lucky to be so close to the park when we learned about the eruption. After we left the park, the line of cars waiting to get into the park extended for miles - so we consider ourselves very fortunate. The owners provided great information in binders - information about the home (you'll need to spend some time reading) and recommendations on activities and restaurants. We loved Cafe Ono and the Volcano Garden Arts. Rico's Tacos (food truck in Volcano) also had good food. If you have mobility issues this might not be the best choice for you, since you have to carry your luggage up stairs to the home. We highly recommend staying here!

Best Ever! (for us)

It was great. Period. Not sure that I can say anything unique that hasn't already been said. There are 4 guest comment books there that rave about the place going back (I think) to 2013. Felt like home. We stayed a month. Hosts were absolutely wonderful. Not a - section of - a wall in the place that doesn't have a window/view to the beautiful lush forest. Better than I expected. Car port is wonderful for loading and unloading. There are stairs to the front door if mobility is a consideration. Two outdoor seating patios. A yard to wander around. Feels like a tree house.

Charming tree house for nature-lovers

The pictures are accurate - this place really does feel like you're staying in a tree house! While there are neighbors, you cannot see them so you feel secluded and in the middle of the rainforest. It feels like it's just you, the morning birds, the nighttime frogs, and lush green surroundings. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure you have a good stay. They're super responsive via text if needed. They have equipped the kitchen with everything you need including spices and coffee. They provide a comprehensive binder of information about the home and what is available nearby to do, see, eat, shop. They also provide information on hikes and drives in Volcano National Park, conveniently located a short drive away. One thing that I did not know before visiting the Big Island is that there is a bit of a problem with theft, everywhere. Signs that warn you to not leave valuables in the car have piles of broken window glass next to them. In busy areas, I never worried, but off the beaten path I made sure to bring my stuff with me. The hosts of this property have provided a security system and a small safe to help you feel more secure. When staying in the Volcano area, if you plan to cook and prepare your own meals, know that grocery shopping is pretty limited. There are two nearby markets with limited supplies. The nearest big store is a 25 min drive, so plan accordingly. Overall, we enjoyed this charming cabin surrounded by nature and appreciated the hosts' thoughtfulness!

A beautiful oasis on the Big Island

We had an amazing month-long stay at Volcano Haven. The house was absolutely beautiful. Despite being in a neighborhood, the trees and surrounding rainforest made it seem like we were completely isolated. The little down of Volcano was adorable, and we were only 5 minutes from the entrance to Volcano National Park. Candice and Richard thought of everything in the home. We had everything we needed. Not to mention, the bed was extremely comfortable! Thank you so much, Candice and Richard, for such a lovely stay!

Once in a Lifetime Find!

This cottage was such an incredible place to call home for a month. The neighborhood is beautiful and friendly while still offering privacy from nearby neighbors in the form of gorgeous foliage. The communication and recommendations of the hosts was an incredible guide for the time I spent on The Big Island. The property is generously spacious both inside the cottage as well the surrounding yard. I enjoyed cooking here and reading near the fireplace on rainy days. Easy to access from the main highway and a perfect home base for your stay. It's even better than the listing can express if you can believe it! If you are seeking retreat, solace, privacy, and/or rest this is a once in a lifetime find. Thank you to Candice and Richard for not only offering a house, but a home.

Peaceful getaway

We absolutely loved this cottage! We wanted something completely different than the beach feel on the Kona side of the island and this was perfect! We stayed for 3 nights and I wish we had stayed longer. It was so calm and peaceful, it felt like our own little place in the rain forest. The home was clean and had everything we needed. They even have binders with all the info you might need for your stay in Volcano and visiting the Volcano National Park. It was perfect and we'd love to go back again. I'd highly recommend it to all my friends!
