Best place you could wish for, not only because of the amazing little place, but also because of the incredible nice hosts! I didnt get to meet Karl, but Kaeo . She was so nice and sweet and so much fun! She told us what we could do and had many cards/maps of places in a big folder in the condo. We got homemade bananabread, oatmealbars, tons of fresh fruit, the fridge was filled with drinks (limonade,beer) and on our first evening we got a big plate with food, small plated with seafood and amaaaaaazing pineapple cheesecake. everything you need is there. Its soo clean and cozy, bugs were no problem, as long as you dont leave the door wide open. We loved the big island, we loved this place and we loved having these amazing hosts. Kaeo even did laundry for us which was so kind of her, i couldnt imagine having a better host. This is a great choice to stay at.

Gorgeous little guest house. Great hosts who suprised us with little things and h ome made food. We definitely recommend this. A truely fanstastic experience to sleep in the rain forest next to the volcano. Loved it.

We had a great stay at Ecohale. Its a well designed and beautiful cabin in a lush tropical setting, obviously a lot of time and thought went into making everything perfect. The location is convenient for day trips to the Volcano or Pahoa. Kaoe and Karl were perfect hosts, warm and welcoming, happy to answer any question but also gave us our privacy. We would be happy to stay here again.

To choose EcoHale for our one week stay on the BigIsland was the best what we could have done. The EcoHale is as described, a beauty pearl in the nature. We had such a pleasant stay, waking up in the morning in a wonderful nature paradise and going to sleep with all the sounds of the garden was an extremely nice experience. Kaeo&Karl are so nice, they prepared everything perfectly and gave us so much threats. What else could we wish more. The property is very close to the main attractions of the island. It was the perfect spot to start exploring BigIsland and the perfect spot to rest and enjoy life. We are very thankful for having met Kaeo&Karl. Thank you very much.

We loved this cute off the grid cabin surrounded by the tropical rainforest. Kaeo was a great host and really fun to talk to. Absolutely loved this taste of Hawaii, and it was perfectly located to travel the southern and eastern parts of Hawaii. We would absolutely stay here again!

we spent three nights at this perfectly calm and amazing piece of earth. we were greeted by Kaeo who was amazingly friendly and helpful. the little house has everything you'll need... and more! we found many complimentary food such as freshly baked cookies, sodas and fruits from the garden. Kaeo's hospitality was the best thing about the stay at Eco Hale! we would totally recommend staying here!

We absolutely loved it here! Kaeo is the most delightful hostess! She made us feel so welcome and cared for, the "best host award" is well deserved. This gorgeously hand-crafted bamboo home is very clean, supplied with snacks, beach gear, warm clothing (for those cold volcano viewing nights) and anything else you could possibly need for your stay. The one acre yard is full of trees, plants, flowers and cute Coqui frogs. We wished we could have stayed here longer and would come back in a heartbeat!

From the moment I set foot in the property, Kaeo immediately welcomed me with a warm smile and fresh flowers. The property is beautiful with all the lush greenery and flowers. I fell in love with the place as soon as I saw it - it was clean and I had everything I needed and more. I was delighted to find a delicious ravioli dinner in the fridge waiting to be heated and after Kaeo showed me around and told me where everything was, she came back with a delicious salad. I also had a giant tray of fresh fruits that lasted my entire stay plus tasty cookies and pastries. I loved hearing the sounds of the rainforest and the home had everything I needed for my stay - beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach towels, sunscreen, water and a cooler. Kaeo and Karl made me feel like ohana and I felt very safe and comfortable right away. It really feels like a home away from home. The neighborhood is great and the directions were perfect - I didn't get lost or turned around at all. It is located very close to the volcano and to Hilo - very convenient. Also, K & K happily answered any questions I had and provided recommendations on places to go and eat. I had a memorable stay and as far as people go, you can't get any better than Kaeo and Karl. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Alta's place is even more beautiful than the pictures show! It is tastefully decorated and has everything you may need. We especially loved the privacy it has. Very romantic and peaceful. We were not able to meet Alta since she was traveling for work but we always felt we could reach her if needed...Zelda also was just a phone call or text away (we had no issues though). Mosquitoes were bad but probably just this time of year...and bug repellent was provided. We'd love to return one day!

Alta made us feel welcome the entire trip and even gave us recommendations of places to visit in the area. I can't say more about the beauty on this part of the island and the rainforest retreat was just the place to relax completely and rejuvenate. We read books in the hammocks and drank tea while we listened to the rain. The best nights sleep I've ever had while being serenaded to sleep by frogs and the dancing rain on the skylight. Best part of our trip!

The rainforest cottage was charming, comfortably furnished, and well-equipped. When we arrived, the cottage smelled faintly like cigarette smoke, but we left the windows open to air it out. The cottage is convenient to go to Volcanoes National Park, and not very far from Hilo. We had no issues living off the grid: most of the house's needs are powered by solar, and water is provided by catchment. Hammocks, outdoor shower and tub, and beautiful views of the rainforest were tempting, and we used the many provided bug candles to ward off some of the mosquitos. The community's roads are paved, but the actual road to the cottage and driveway are rough gravel, and when it rains, deep pools. Don't need 4WD to get to the cottage, but rain and the dirt road made our drives an obstacle course. We enjoyed our visit to the cottage.

My stay at Alta's place is really good and we had a good time. Everything is like as mentioned in her listing.

For those who love to stay off-the-beaten-path, and being able to shower outside in a jungle-like environment, this place is for you! Alta was a great host and provided excellent suggestions for places to eat and things to do in the Hilo area. Thanks Alta!

Alta's Rainforest Cottage was beautiful and private, definitely off the beaten path, though not very far from volcano natl park. Factor in an extra 15-20 minutes to get from the main highway to the property. Here's why I didn't give Alta 5 stars (which still bothers me two weeks after we got back): We were there for our honeymoon (which we told Alta), so we were surprised to find out (on the day we arrived no less) that Alta was planning on having the floors measured for some renovations, and they might be there when we arrived. I'm not sure why she didn't have them come another time, or earlier in the day (since we didn't arrive till 4), but it was very frustrating since we were jet lagged and desperate for a nap, and it was our honeymoon- we just wanted to be left alone! It would have been nice if Alta had told us before the day we arrived so we could plan ahead or at least offered to discount our rate for one of the days. Otherwise, the house was amazing. Totally private, stocked with some basics and whatever the previous tenants left behind, and just a relaxing place to be. If you borrow her snorkel and boogie board gear, head to Honoli'i beach- it's gorgeous (and the main beach in the area).

Beautiful house in the forest! My parents loved this place and we'd definitely live there longer if possible! Just mosquitos are really bad now....

The grounds are spectacular! Pictures don't do them justice; it is a true Garden of Eden. We had packed schedules of sight-seeing, but we did spend one afternoon reading in the hammocks. That was a trip highlight! Having the bathroom outside took some getting used to for me, but my husband loved it immediately. I did really enjoy the outside shower though! This is a great location for exploring the east side of the island!

We stayed at Teresa's for 5 nights and had a fantastic time. Great location, not too far from Hilo, or Volcano and the national park and nice and quiet staying in the middle of the forest. It was like staying in a hotel rooming the middle of the jungle. Teresa was really helpful and accommodating. Everything you need and more for the right price.

We have had all we need to be comfortable, beach towels, bath accessories, kitchen with all accessories to cook and eating. Really good hostess and better person Teresa. Thanks!

Teresa's place is very cute. The suite is separate from the main house so we had lots of privacy. The dedicated washroom is huge, very clean and well designed. She has a nice fridge and table setup outside of the suite with a microwave. Teresa is very nice and informative about the island.

Teresa was a great host and was very welcoming. The room is great if what you're after is a comfortable bed and bathroom. It is conveniently located in mountain view which is a great base to explore the island from. We appreciated the efforts Teresa went to in order to make our stay enjoyable including offering her local knowledge on things to do and providing a television, fridge and microwave/toaster oven, which is handy for those travelling on a budget. We would stay here again if we are lucky enough to come back to the big island.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a great stay at Teresa's place! We could not have asked for a better location to serve as a launching pad for exploring Volcanoes National Park and Hilo. Although we only stayed with Teresa for a couple days, the room would've been perfect for a longer stay as well. Teresa gave us great recommendations that led us to swimming with turtles and viewing the lava flows without all the crowds, at daybreak. These were a couple of unforgettable experiences and we highly recommend a stay at her place in Mountainview! Quick list of best aspects: unbeatable location, frendliest host, things cool off in the evening and the wind keeps the room nice and cool, beautiful view of the stars, brita filter!

Very welcoming, great area, quiet and safe, sounds of frogs at night - I loved it, may disturb other people. Host very helpful providing tips on visiting the volcano and lava flow.

This rainforest retreat has a fabulous location on the mountain outside Hilo just 20 min to the Volcanoes Park. And you have the dark skies at night if its clear, no light pollution to hinder your view. Teresa is your host of choice if you really want to know about Hawaii and its Culture and History, and she is a lovely warm person and goes out of her way to accommodate you. Thank you Teresa

We loved our stay in this tucked away home in the jungle! Teresa was very sweet and gave us everything we needed. A perfect place to stay while going back and forth between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park.

Lovely, well decorated, modern cabin. Very quiet and restful. We only stayed one night but wish it would have been longer! We loved it! Description was accurate. Great, hot shower and nice kitchen if you wanted to cook! Cozy but a great space for a single's retreat or couple's get away.

Suzanne was an awesome host! We really enjoyed our stay the cabin had everything we needed and more. Would recommend to friends.

Suzanne's house is clean and quiet. Her garden is beautiful. The facilities are in good condition and meet your needs. Except that the signal of wifi is weak,everything is fine.

This was very pleasant stay. Suzanne was on the property at our arrival, welcomed us, and was available to answer any questions. The cottage was new, clean, well furnished, and private--consistent with the listing. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was partially supplied. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, with bird song in the evenings and mornings, and fun coqui frog songs the first half of each night. Star gazing was great. It was a convenient 1/2 hour away from Volcanoes National Park. We would stay again, given the opportunity.

The host canceled this reservation 112 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Wonderfully decorated clean and cozy cabin!!

Nice warm welcome from Suzanne. Modern, clean, quiet and very new condo/cabin.

Perfect spot: clean, quiet, modern, full of everything you need to have a nice time out in the country. I wish we were staying longer!

We spent 2 days in Karen's accommodation. The proximity to the national park was ideal. The accommodation was simple and clean. Our questions were immediately answered.

Had a wonderful stay. Would recommend to anyone.

Karen and Kehua's place was beyond charming. It is cuter and bigger than it looks even in the pictures. We had been staying in Kona but wanted to spend some time exploring Volcanos Park so we made a last minute reservation for one night only at their adorable 2-bedroom cottage and they accommodated us seamlessly. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Very clean, large space, many considerate details, a pleasant stay

Very close to Volcano in a secluded area. A little hard to find at night but Karen was accessible and very helpful in guiding us. The house is as described with all the amenities. It gets chilly at night but there is a portable heater and plenty of blankets. Karen was also helpful and making recommendations for sightseeing and eateries.

This is a very private place near the volcano park. Recommmend to shop gloceries before arriving. Karen prepared full of water, so don't need to buy.

Fantastic, charming private cottage in a good location a short drive from volcano and hilo. Karen helped us every step of the way by staying in touch. Peaceful, good nights sleep.

We decided to stay here because it was close to Volcanoes National Park and we didn't want to drive back to Kona in the dark. Excellent directions, Karen stayed in contact with us, and was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely stay again next time we come to the Big Island

The cabin is located in a very lush rainforest area. Its a perfect 60 degrees and you can hear the frogs and the birds and Kendra is a very helpful and gracious host. Its in a great location, between the volcano and the Hilo airport and is secluded away and quite private. I would stay here again

We can't think of a better place to stay on the big island. Kendra is a very knowledgeable and thoughtful host. Her hand-made brochure not only made an ideal bed-time reader; it brings every aspect of the big island vividly to life, and it greatly eased our trip on the island. This is definitely your first choice if you are a pet-lover!

This was a great place to stay! Kendra was an awesome, welcoming host, fast with communication, and everything was smooth. The house is beautiful, cool, and private. We enjoyed chatting with Kendra and she provided lots of useful info about the nearby lava flow so we could make the most of our short weekend trip from Oahu :) Convenient location for Volcano-viewing and an easy drive from the Hilo airport. Pets were super cute too!

I absolutely loved staying with Kendra! It's a beautiful house in a middle of the forest, very relaxing and great for pet lovers. Kendra is a great host and makes delicious breakfast muffins. I only stopped over for 1 night but I wish I was staying longer!

Kendra and her place are awesome! Communication was easy and her place was exactly as described. The location is very special, in the middle of a (rain-) forest, so if you like nature, this is the place to go! It has a very relaxing atmosphere and I absolutely enjoyed my stay. The only problem was that it was too short, but that was my fault. :)

You may not know it yet, but you really want to stay with Kendra in Mountain View. This hostess and her property are both winners. Her house is a small, isolated cabin in the rain forest of the windward side of the Big Island of Hawaii and a short drive from both Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Hilo. She made us to feel very welcome, provided excellent directions (that's a high compliment from me!), and was an extremely gracious host. Her friendly pets even allowed us to get our "dog fix" while our own furkid was back home. Perhaps the most valuable part of the visit was Kendra's binder of local information she provided us. In it, she outlined things to do, things to avoid, a collection of her favorite restaurants and more. She managed to do this in an unapologetically opinionated way without sounding like a commercial tour guide. This local knowledge was what one of the things we hoped to get by going Air BnB. Kendra delivered in spades. And, unlike many people who live in Hawaii, she's truly a local with a local's perspective and unique knowledge. This was worth far more than whatever you'll pay for the room. With all of this and more for such a reasonable price we will seek out her place to stay at again if we should ever return to the Big Island. Book now if this property is available!

Great value to rest your head. Must love animals as they like to great you as you come and go. Outdoor shower was amazing. Highly recommend as you are surrounded by lush rainforest greenery. Kendra has a solid and fun book of all kinds of information from what Aloha spirit means to restaurant recommendations to places that are touristy and not worth it to a biography of her animals.

We had a great time at Kendra's beautiful house! We had everything we needed and more! Kendra was very helpful with recommendations and treated us to coffee and muffins. Loved the cats! Had a restful sleep. Thank you!

We enjoyed our brief but very memorable stay. Nicholas was a super host.

Very responsive and flexible. Amazing tree house secluded from everything. Will definitely stay here again!

Nicholas's place is more than what you see in the pictures. It is modern take on a treehouse with all the amenities you need with the unique experience of being in the rainforest. The tree house has open windows where you wake up to all the lush nature. The location is secluded and you are one with nature listening to the coqui frogs and rainfall at night. We had a lovely stay and would come back for longer. Nicholas was also great host and was quick to answer and of our questions etc. we loved it!

This little treehouse is charming! It is a little secluded but if you have a car and want to stay near the volcano, the place is perfect. I actually wish we could've stayed at least one more night since we just stayed for one. The host is great and he was very responsive which is always appreciated!

We really enjoyed our stay at this location! It's very quiet and beautifully constructed. Waking up in the trees and birds chirping was very nice. I recommend staying here for couples get away vacations!! Mahalo Nicolas!

Nicholas created a true piece of paradise. We loved our stay in the treehouse and would always come back.

Dieses Haus in den Baeumen ist wunderschoen. Allerdings wichtig zu wissen und genau zu lessen, diese Unterkunft liegt sehr abseits. Ideal zum entspannen und mal wirklich einen Tag in einem sicheren Rahmen im Wald zu verbringen. Bin als Frau ganz alleine dort gewesen und habe mich wirklich trotz der abgelegenen Lage sehr sicher gefuehlt. Alles sehr sauber. Den nachtaktiven Voegeln zu lauschen und dabei sanft einzuschlafen war auch ein tolles Erlebnis. Nicklas, I write this rewiev in german so that maybe more people from Germany or Europa will knew more about your wonderful and fantastic place of Aloha in the trees. Mahaloa nui for all your work to create this place. Will defenitly come back during my next visit. Marion

Nickolas was a great host. Although he was not even on the island itself but he was extreamly helpful in helping us in everything in the property or even outside it. amazing place if u are looking for secluded place. you will be living in the nature surrounded by trees. simply beautiful.

Our very first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful. Dave and Bonnie have set the expectation very high. We can only hope our next experience will be just as special. Nothing negative only positive things to say about this place. Listening to the frogs at night and joying the birds in the morning were so relaxing. The fully stocked kitchen was very useful. We highly recommended staying here.

David and Boonie's home is the BEST accommodation ever! We arrived when it's already dark but David and Boonie made us feel very welcomed. We stayed for two nights and regreted we didn't book for longer time. The house is like in a jungle and rooms are super clean, beautiful and relaxing. They essentially provide EVERYTHING you may need during the stay or when you go out, including: drinking water, fruits, beautiful flower arrangements, things for cooking, tea, coffee, umbrella, headlight, mosquito repellent, moisturizer, lots of towels, beach towel, hair dryer, and even a binder for local restaurants. The rooms are also decorated with elegant arts, china, and floor/wall tiles and solid wood furnitures. It rains many times during our stay but the sound of the rain and the birds outside are very relaxing. This place is just like a dreamed home! About the location: just several miles from the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park where we liked a lot. We went to the Jagger Museum at night to see Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift as suggested by David and Boonie; it was fun. Also hiked in Kīlauea Iki Trail, saw the Lava Tube, drove down the Chain of Craters Road to the Holei Sea Arch and loved all of those sites. The Thai Thai restaurant that located nearby (David and Boonie recommended) is great. I had the best Tom Yum Soup. Thank David and Boonie for making our trip to the Big Island so memorable!

What a lovely place to stay! Great location especially if you are wanting explore Volcanoes National Park and the east side. David and Bonnie have set up an amazing apartment with anything that you may want and don't carry when you are travelling e.g. torches, umbrellas. It was great to be able to cook our own meals and handy to have spices and condiments supplied in the apartment. Thanks for a great stay!

David and Bonnie are amazing hosts! They were both there to greet us at their home and provided us with lots of local tips. They also have their place listed on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), and only recently gave AirBNB a whirl (so I would imagine that there are a ton of reviews on that website too). Their place is a beautiful oasis just 5 minutes from the main highway (double check that your GPS matches David's directions, we took a weird detour while following the GPS...completely our fault though). The place was really perfect for us! It has a clean, well equipped kitchen. They had spices and basic supplies in the kitchen to help guests out of a bind. The bed is huge and very comfortable. The sound of the coqui frogs actually helped me sleep! The bathroom also had some helpful first-aid supplies and toiletries. The hosts are extremely thoughtful, and the place really had everything we needed. There was a fruit-bowl waiting for us with delicious pineapple and apple bananas grown right in their backyard! Not to mention a gorgeous flower arrangement. There was also an extensive collection of helpful pamphlets and a binder full of restaurant menus with recommendations. Final tip: If you can, buy your fruit from the farmer's markets. It's way cheaper than the supermarkets. Bag of papayas for $2? Yes please =). Would definitely stay there again! Mahalo!

Perfect stay...would totally recommend...the apartment was super clean and furnished with everything...loved the quietness of the area, the fresh fruit and flowers...thanks David and Bonnie for being the perfect hosts!

We found this a convenient place to stay for activities in Volcanoes NP. Apartment is upstairs and is beautiful and spotless. The owners have two medium sized, sweet ,gentle dogs They are in the yard a lot playing and having a grand time. They were silent each night. David was a wonderful host and explained everything and answered questions we had. We would stay there again!

We loved this place. It has everything we needed and a great setting in the lush forest. It was very comfortable. We even spent a few hours just relaxing and listening to the birds, frogs and rain. The hosts were very welcoming too.

David and Bonnie are the perfect hosts. When we came Bonnie asked us if we had any laundry. She took care of it for us. The condo was in really good condition and we didn't miss anything. Very well equipt. Beautiful garden with ripe Tangerine that we could pick. Our daugther loves the two dogs. They gave us really good recommendations of things to see and do. We'd love to come back

house is beautiful

Cute and well appointed

Very comfortable and spacious. A beautiful setting in a garden.

Rea's place is in a beautiful, quiet location with lots of space. Check in was very easy. She had all the amenities needed for our stay.

Was on vacation from SoCal. John was great. He was always easily reachable. The unit is in construction to be a hostel so the downstairs area was being worked on but everything upstairs looked great. The floors were really well done, including the countertops, the ceiling, etc. The shower was super nice. Two overhead rain faucets in a double overhead space with really nice tile. Beds were very comfy and everything was clean. John was extremely nice and easygoing. Enjoyed having interesting conversations with him. Lots of cameras for security too. Also liked the back porch access to our room.

房东人很好,很热情,由于在装修,他也很忙,但也由于在装修,总体入住体验不是很好。

What a joy it was to stay in this rustic home away from home. John was so lovely and welcoming, he made us feel at home and at ease straight away. It was a bit of a slog to get up to the house (we were riding bikes, my legs are feeling it now :P) but was completely worth it to stay in this beautiful property. The room itself was very very big, with a super comfortable bed. Private entrance from outside, so we didn't have to disturb the rest of the house. The rest of the house was just as lovely as the bedroom; plenty of space to make yourself feel as at home at you'd like! We had a lot of fun chatting with John and his friends, and only wish we could have stayed on for a few more nights. Definitely recommend staying here.

John is a great host. The listing is clean and comfortable. He also provided all the amenities as stated. Thanks John!

This is a new listing and still awaits several improvements like curtains or blinds in the private room to allow privacy and light blockage, more eco friendly shower heads that waste less water, kitchen equipment like coffee and bowls, and bed covers large enough to cover two people comfortably. Hopefully other things will improve over time like better road access free of potholes, less noisy frogs outside burdening attempts to sleep, wifi of reasonable speed, maybe even new grocery stores within less than fifteen minutes drive, better organization skills to stay on top of who is coming when and what room they will occupy - to ensure that room is vacated and clean prior to guest arrival. I would also suggest limiting the number of guests to six given there is only one sink-bathroom-shower. Waiting 45 minutes for the bathroom because of the 8 guests using it is unreasonable. In saying all this, I believe the price ($25 pp, private room) is fair and reflects what is to be expected. John is generous and kind, and the bed is very big and comfortable.

A nice house in a lovely rural setting.

John is a great host, he is so easy to work with and he is very responsive . He made me feel so comfortable to stay there. The place is easy to find . I highly recommended this place. Thank you !

This place is essentially a very low quality hostel where you will be vastly over paying to share one bathroom with ~10 other people, hear everything on the property, and have little visual privacy with no shades on the windows or glass doors of the private room. While everyone was very nice this property was not accurately represented and is very overpriced for what it is.

Fantastic place to stay, especially if you are looking for a bit of privacy. A neat place with everything you need!

Very comfortable and clean place. They provided beach towels, basic toiletries, and a kitchen that has all the basics you should need. Good sized bathroom. Location is a teensy out of the way, but it's great for a peaceful getaway from all the touristy places for sure! The sounds of the rainforest were very nice at night! Be sure to triple check that the address you enter in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps is the correct one. Ours auto-changed to a place down the road. Just know the gate will be closed and locked so you're at the wrong place if the gate is open or no gate :) great stay! Thank you!!

A quiet get away! We really enjoyed our stay at this home! Love having my breakfast out on the covered deck! Close to Volcano National Park, and Hilo! Mahalo

Loved our stay here. Its quiet and close enough to volcano park that you can get all your sight seeing in.

The studio room is located in a great place! It is super close to volcano national park which was great for our trip. The host was amazing and super accommodating even though we checked in very late. The road to the room can get very dark so it is advisable to check in when there is some sunlight. The room was nice but there was no heat which could be a problem on colder days. However there were extra comforters to make the stay comfortable. The bathroom isn't attached and you have to walk through the parking garage to get there, so getting there especially in the night is hard. The room was otherwise very comfortable and host was very friendly! He even got us fresh coffee and some snacks in the morning! Overall it was a good stay for the price we paid!

Perfect location. Clean and comfortable.

green paradise, cool area & great hospitality

We really enjoyed staying at Theresa's place. It is very convenient to visit the Volcanoes National Park. The room is very pretty and the host very very nice!

Great stay. Very hospitable, friendly and helpful.

价格很便宜,位置大岛南部,靠近火山公园,适合过夜。Brian很热情,能说中文,沟通无障碍。

Excellente location, à 15 minutes de l'entrée du parc nationale de Volcano. Bien que nous soyons arrivés tard, nous avons été très très bien accueilli. Notre hôte était très poli, souriant et aidant. La chambre était très spacieuse et propre. Nous avons eu le droit à une vraie nuit, au calme et sans la chaleur de la côte. Parfait pour récupérer de longues journées de marche à Volcano. Au matin, on nous a servis un smoothie maison excellent, ainsi que du café et des œufs. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce court séjour, que nous recommandons à tous ceux qui ont besoin d'une bonne nuit de repos.

Go,you will not regret it!

Donna and her cottage was amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Donna had the frig stocked with water and gave us a box of chocolates which we ate while reading in the sun room. About 30 min from volcano national park. The road is bumpy. So if you have a bad back its not the greatest. But its so worth come back to a beautiful cottage.

Donna is a most gracious host and the location gives one a real feeling of being a lush green forest.

We loved everything about our stay in Donnas cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and we could see that Donna really went the extra mile to make sure that we felt right at home. We stayed for one week and explored the whole island. Finding the place was no problem thanks to the detailed directions Donna gave us in advance. The last bit of the road is gravel road which took a little bit longer to get to and from the place but it is fine, even if you do not have a 4WD. When we where not out and about we enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden (chairs and everything you need are provided) or inside the cosy cottage.

If you'd like a quiet place to rest after a day of exploring the island, this is your place. Scenic, quiet, in the rainforest, lovely host. Will book again

Donna's place is safe, secluded, and beautiful. It is equipped with pretty much anything you will need. She made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating. We would definitely recommend staying here!

We really liked our stay at Donna's cottage. It's definitely an amazing experience to wake up in this beautiful garden, surrounded by tropical plants and trees with birds and frogs singing all around you ! This is definitively the Place for nature lovers ! The cottage itself is well furnished, with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The location is great as it's both near Hilo and the Volcano National Park. Donna was really helpful and welcoming. She even invited us for a glass of wine and delicious home made cookies for our last evening. We really enjoyed our conversation. We definitely recommend her place !

Donna was a great host - she was very knowledgeable and wanted to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Our time at her cottage was a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in Hawaii, then this is the spot for you.

The tiny jungle house was amazing! The shower, which has nice open air windows out to the jungle, was hot and relaxing. We would gladly stay here again. Lizzy and Linda were very helpful hosts, and the bottle of wine was a perfect gift. Tiny jungle house is in a perfect location for exploring the volcano national park and surrounding area. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little oasis in the middle of the jungle! Well worth it. Thank you for your great hospitality!

It's a nice little a-frame cabin in the middle of a jungle. Being greeted with a bottle of wine was a nice touch. And if you enjoy the sound of rain hitting a tin roof, this is the place to be. The location is great to see sites on the east side of the island. I plan to build an off-grid home in the same area also, so staying in the cabin helped me learn about what I really needed and didn't. One thing to note, not sure if it's year round, but I would recommend bringing some sweats to throw on because it gets a little chilly in the mornings.

Elizabeth is really great , she is super available. we had a bottle of wine to welcome us ! the place was ok , we just regret that it was not well lit, could not get kitchen lights, plus none of the plugs worked out as a result no coffee or hot water while it was pretty cold ... location is great

The Tiny Jungle House on the Big Island was everything that was promised !! I enjoyed the peaceful feeling of the Jungle that gave me the solitude in the day and the stars like diamonds in the sky at night. The view was amazing from the bathroom, it has an open feeling of being outside but, yet I was inside. I opened the Jalousie windows and felt alive and refreshed while taking a shower. The water was super hot the way I like it and I took a long shower so i was surprised it stayed hot so long. I left a feeling like i was showering in the rain forest. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio. The whole experience left me listening to the soundtrack of beautiful birds, frogs, pigs and rain songs. It was so nice to enjoy the complimentary bottle of wine as the trip itself was tiresome but the Hawaiian wine was precisely what i needed and i slept like a baby while listening to what nature had to offer. The Tiny Jungle House was very clean and organized. I also enjoyed complimentary robe, organic shampoo and conditioner. From beginning to end it was a great adventure, it was close to many activities yet, it was nice to get "Off the Grid" The unpaved road to the treehouse was a little rough, so instantly the experience of the off road created an adrenalin rush. My host, Lizzy and Linda were super nice and friendly, check in was fast and easy. I especially love that i have my privacy as i drove up a red cinder driveway, it was a well-romantically lit driveway and no problem bringing my big bags of luggage. I especially enjoyed the under house lighting system that just was amazing. The abundance of flowers when you enter are spectacular and find the exotic feel of all the flowers to be a super special touch. I felt as though i had the whole jungle to myself. I really did not want some huge crazy resort with tourists. I wanted my own little world close to the Volcano National Park ( reason for my trip)but still in the residential area. I remembered to un-plug the coffee maker after making coffee, so not to drain the batteries and I brought my own ice for the goodies!! It was a beautiful place and i am so glad i decided to stay there. It was pure magic This is an experience you do not want to miss. I know i will be back shortly.
