We’ve traveled in Hawaii for the past 35 years and have rented numerous places near Hawaii Volcanoes NP. Cottage Ku’upio will be our favorite place to investigate in coming years. This cottage is fully outfitted, comfortable, and has a very nice remote feel. The bed is comfortable and the flooring throughout the cottage has such a classy Hawaiian feel. Loved being there.

The house was in nice condition with a fireplace! About 10 minute drive to the Hawaii Volcano National Park. We stayed for 2 nights, therefore we could not use the laundry washer and drier.
But overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Awesome, comfortable cottage in the forest. Great deck and it has a fireplace which warms it up. Overall a great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay… quiet and relaxing.
The Kilauea Iki Crater Trail is very close and was a great hike… and the Lava Tubes are really neat.
Volcano Village Lodge for breakfast and dinner was very good.
PS: there is a little black on/off switch just below the knob on the fireplace that’s hard to find, but once you do, great heat and ambiance if it’s a chilly day.

Very very nice and updated cottage in the rainforest. We are definitely stay here again. The landscaping is beautiful and all the amenities are just wonderful. Danielle was an awesome host. It has everything you could ever need.

This cottage is so well appointed - it’s perfect for a couple. It had everything that we needed and was so clean! We spent a lot of time out on the lovely lanai - a beautiful breeze and sweet birdsong! I would highly recommend this beautiful place!

If you want to spend time near Volcanoes National Park, this cottage is five minutes away. It is in a beautiful rural neighborhood. The kitchen is stocked with pits, pans, utensils, etc. Everything was great, except maybe the mattress. It seems older because it was not very firm. But other than that, we loved our stay
4.9
What a great little place to stay for visiting the Hawaii Volcano area! Ideal for a couple. Clean, modern cottage in the middle of the volcano rain forest about 5 minute drive from the park. Everything you can ask for. Nice bedroom, dehumidifier, TV (streaming stick), wifi. Nice covered deck and beautiful garden. We had a great time and would highly reccomend.

If you’re interested in visiting Volcanoes National Park this is the perfect place to stay. It’s a few miles from the visitor’s entrance and the quaint town of Volcano. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

My BF and I stayed here last year and came back again this year with my two grandsons. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The kitchen and the lanai are perfect. Great location in Volcano. Just down the street from the entrance to the National Park. The volcano started erupting the morning we were checking out and they boys were able to go view it. Highly recommend

Clean, comfortable cottage near Volcano National Park. First impression of my wife when we arrived; “Wow, this is adorable”.
The property is very clean and about as non-big-resort as you can get. Nearest neighbor is maybe 150 yards away. We fell asleep to the sound of frogs doing whatever they do and rainfall (this is called the wet side of the island for a reason), and woke to rooster doing his thing - far enough away to be just charming.
Very pleasant stay.

Convenient location to the park! This is a charming little cabin that had everything we needed!

Having the opportunity to stay in this beautiful, secluded cottage was wonderful. We had everything we needed including the warmth of the fireplace as some of our days were cloudy, rainy and wet! Such close access to Volcanoes NP was really nice as we could easily come and go. The grounds around the cottage were lush and beautiful!

This home away from home had most everything you need. We made most of our meals in so we used most of the items included. It was great to have spices that we did not have to purchase. Had good communication with the overseer. The car port was really great as it rained the 3 days we were there. Would stay here again!
4.9
This cottage was the perfect size and layout for the two of us as we explored this side of the big island. It's proximity to Volcano made going out for dinner very easy, but it's private lanai and yard made it feel like a great romantic hideaway. The kitchen also had everything we needed to prepare meals. We had such a nice experience here in spite of a couple of days of rain.

We loved the property. It was perfect for us and would’ve loved to stay longer had our trip allowed it. Everything was perfect. Thanks, Danielle for your hospitality!!

house very easy to find and is located 5 minutes away from the volcanos national park. Also about 28 miles from hilo. Well appointed kitchen, nice shower, washer and dryer came in handy as we had been traveling for four days befor e arrival. Very private and for the most part quiet. Felt very safe and cozy.We ate at the Kilauea Lodge it was excellent. and shopped at true value where we got a single 1-2 time use box of tide. We could view the Volcano anytime we wanted because we were so close. We explored all the beaches and volcanos both active and dormant. Was nice to have a kitchen to cook in We truly enjoyed our little house and all that the Volcano area had to offer.

We really loved coming home to the cottage every day after adventures on the Big Island. What a lovely peaceful place, clean, everything you need. Danielle was very helpful and spread the Aloha without even trying. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

This sweet cottage is a great jumping off point for exploring Volcano National Park, which is about 10 minutes away. The owner, Danielle, communicated clearly with us and the cottage is exactly as described. We loved staying here!

Perfect for volcano exploration.

The cottage is cozy and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio. We picked this place for its proximity to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park; it’s about a 10 minute drive to the park and it made early morning and late night drives to the park super convenient. There weren’t house rules/info but we realized there was a dehumidifier in the closet, be sure to use it and empty out the water when it gets full to keep the humidity at a comfortable level. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for just one night to go to VNP for 2 days. Is just down the road from the entrance, great location and property. VERY clean and nice. Has everything you would need for a stay. When we come back to the Big Island we will be staying here again for a longer stay!
4.9
I adore this place. The location of this place is just perfect. It’s not too far from Hilo but it’s very close to the National Hawaiian Volcano and other beaches near by. Also, it’s nice that no one is around you so it feels so private. Everything comes with the home so you don’t have to worry about one single thing. Don’t pass up on this place if you’re near this town.
4.9
Beautiful property gives the feeling of quiet seclusion. Far enough away from everyone and everything but still close enough for easy access to civilization. We were there for a short getaway during a trip to Honolulu, but wish we stayed a week or two longer. Would definitely stay here again!
4.9
We had a fantastic experience at the Volcanoes national park and that would not have been possible without our stay at the lovely cottage. It was very conveniently located. The cottage is great, felt a little tight for our family of four with two teenagers, but it was fine for two days visit. Thanks!
4.9
The house is about a 5 minute drive from the park which came in really handy when you want to see the lava at night. It’s about 30 minutes from Hilo. It was clean and the outdoor lanai was great for mornings and evenings.
4.9
The property was the perfect size for our family of 3. It was a great home base for exploring Volcano National Park. Kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was very clean. We really enjoyed the privacy and being surrounded by ohia trees.
4.9
Cute bungalow. Clean and comfy. We enjoyed our stay.
Couple of caveats:
Thai restaurant in Volcano extremely meh.
Watch your toes in the bedroom. Bed matches floor. Danger in the dark!
Great communication!

Kuuipo Cottage is an excellent rental for 2 people looking to spend time in Volcano National Park and the surrounding area. It is very clean, cozy, and well maintained. Lovely private location with surrounding lush tropical flowers and trees but only minutes from the village and park. We rented only one day for an event in Volcano but we would have loved to stay longer!
4.9
Very quiet and peaceful. Good location for Kilauea.
We spent a very comfortable two nights here during the Kilauea phase of our trip. The location is 100% private and very quiet. Open the windows to listen to the birds and frogs. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bed and bedroom comfortable. Bathroom is modest but clean. The surrounding garden and outdoor covered patio is an added bonus.
