We loved our time at the cottage even if we spent most of our day adventuring on the Big Island
The property was lovely and absolutely stunning while covered in beautiful tropical plants. The cottage was clean and had all amenities needed for a short stay. It was memorable and an enjoyable trip!
Hands down the best place I've stayed on the Big Island. Very secluded at the end of the road, the house was perfect for a couple staying for a couple of days. The bed was super comfy and the rainforest out the window was nice. The kitchen was large and had all we needed to cook our own meals. The hot tub out back was really nice with the outdoor shower. I also appreciated having a washer and dryer we could use. I can't say how awesome this place was and we will be back here next time we visit the Island.
Wonderful retreat in the Volcano mist forest.
Just a beautiful and tranquil location and cottage. We had everything we needed to stay and relax. Great art and decor. Very comfy and cozy feel.
Privacy, privacy, privacy.
Unbelievable. In the middle of a rain forest! So awesome.
Our first time in Hawai’i, and this place was one of the highlights of our trip. Surrounded by lush forest and secluded, it was the perfect getaway. The central location on the island allows for east access to everywhere. We will definitely be talking about/recommending the volcano mist cottage to others.
Great!
A lovely little place, but too expensive for what it is.
Good location, very quiet and beautiful. Lovely hot tub in the jungle.
Bedroom and living room are very small. We had to put our luggage on the coffee table. There is barely room to walk around the bed.
Nice house in the jungle
Cool place with nice amenities if you’re staying up near Kiluehea. The home has a nice gas fireplace and is close enough to restaurants etc
Relaxing retreat for a family vacation
The cottage was an oasis, surrounded by the rainforest with all the creature comforts of home. We had enough supplies for breakfast, wifi, and enough space to spread out. It was a wonderful start to our Hawaii vacation.
We enjoyed our stay. We chose the place because we could bring our dogs.
There was really no breakfast. We brought our own coffee as we have a coffee farm in Captain Cook, but there was no coffee if you didn't bring your own. There was only children's cereal there, and a qt. of milk and few pieces of fruit.
The house was adorable and comfortable, but I really hate to complain, that the water in the jacuzzi was cloudy, highly chemical smelling and with all the rain in Volcano, should have the water changed more often. The grounds were very beautiful and location superb.
Absolutely amazing. Paradise. We loved the privacy, peace & quiet. The house is amazing, well stocked & cozy.
Gorgeous, private, peaceful, relaxing.
Nothing. it was perfect.
This is beautiful cozy house with gorigous priavte garden. Well maintanice and good conditions .
The location very easy to Volcano Park and restaurants. The
fantastic getaway convenient to Volcano village and park but tucked away for complete serenity
from the lanai with the outdoor fireplace to the backyard spa, the cottage was a true oasis and sanctuary. Scott, Deborah, and Paul were fantastic and helped a family member arrange a surprise gift for us upon arrival. memorable stay in every way!
Bliss, a dream that I got to share with my new husband
Everything! Amazing. Thank you Paul, Scott and Janet for the amazing attention to detail. A new place my husband and I will come back to and visit again.
I couldn’t stay longer 😁
Unique property with a beautiful setting. Right next to the National Park. The hosts were great and even gave me a novel to keep as a wonderful souvenir. We enjoyed the days we spent hiking at the National Park and having this beautiful cottage to come back to ar the end of each day.
Fantastic Romantic Cottage
This is a fantastic place to stay! Location is easy to find and phenomenally private! You really feel taken care of at all times both before and during your stay. We would recommend this to anyone traveling to the area!
Did not live up to expectations
We were looking forward to a first-class stay at the cottage as that was what was advertised and what the price of nearly $400 per night for a small cottage for two should buy. For the most part, the place could have lived up to expectations, but first-class and that price should have bought more than we experienced. The first night of three nights was very uncomfortable for us because there was no heat, and we are high up in the mountains. The remote for the fireplace had dead batteries, and there was no other way to turn it on. Called to cottage keeper, and he told us to go to a store. We tried and found out that no store in the small village was opened at that time. He only offered to come replace the batteries in the morning. We wanted to make use of the advertised home theater system and found that this also did not work at all. There was no signal for the TV, the DVD player did not work. It appeared that the universal remote did not work at all despite very effort to follow the instructions in the guest book. Our emails to the proprietor regarding these problems were not answered, which again is not up to the advertised standards. Breakfast for the first morning was as expected, with fruits, pastries, and juice left for us before we arrived; but was not repeated for the remaining two mornings of our stay. We found that the advertised “pantry stocked with continental breakfast items” meant a box of oatmeal packets. We did not bother to complain about this since we had no reply to our previous email. We also had to buy our own paper towels because the dispenser had only one sheet left. It seems that the place may have not been rented out for a while due to the COVID shutdown, but there was plenty of time between our reservation and arrival to get up to speed; and we still haven’t had any reply from the proprietor to our complaints.
Heart of Pele
We stayed here 12 months ago but I am absolutely horrendous at writing reviews in a timely manner. Anyways: this was the most romantic, comfortable and satisfying endeavor me and my partner have ever experienced. Want peace in nature? Come here. Want to experience Hawai'i? Come here. Sure, the bedroom is small yet it brought us closer together. The hot tub was amazing. The outside shower was serendipitous. The soft robes were welcoming and the hosts were incredible. We were welcomed with every accommodation we requested and then some. They responded promptly and respectfully to each question. My recommendation, if you want to find love in the heart of Hawaii, visit here. We visited for Christmas last year and fell more in love then ever before. We literally have talked about the Volcano Mist Cottage every few months since. No, don't expect a four course breakfast, expect a fully equipped kitchen to relax with your loved one. No, don't expect a staff waiting for you, let Pele welcome to Volcano, HI. Don't expect house keeping, expect a home that a lovely couple shares with you- take care of it as if it was your own home. Biggest negative about this beautiful retreat is that we had to leave. We can't wait go to back!
It is the most beautiful serine place I’ve ever been to! Absolute Heaven!
What can we say, this was an incredible experience from start to finish, this place has it all and could think of no place better than here for a romantic getaway with all the amenities one could ask for! This will be our haven in the volcano the next time we visit!
