We did not stay there because Danielle Barro double-booked the property even though I reserved it and paid for it 13 months in advance. I had communicated with her the week of our stay. I called after 4 PM the day of checkin and she hesitated and said “this hardly ever happens” and then tried to blame it on me because I hadn’t booked directly with her. I told her I had the confirmation fromVRBO but she said she has properties listed on multiple sites. I said I had just flown 5000 miles and asked her where our group of five people were supposed to stay. Danielle offered to try to find a place but it wouldn’t be in Volcano and I told here I didn’t trust anything she would do. After many calls, we found a place that was more than double what we paid for the VRBO. So, I do not plan to trust the VRBO bookings

So close to Volcano National Park! Great location, you feel like your in the middle of the rain forest. Pictures are accurate. Has everything you need!

First of all I was really looking forward to getting away from a fast paced and hurried life in Honolulu and was looking forward to a QUIET and PEACEFUL time at this beautiful rainforest looking home for a couple days. We certainly did. NOT get that! Check in was sketchy because I DID NOT get directions on how to get into the house before I had to call and ask! The property manager claims she sent it to me earlier but I had NOT RECEIVED THE INFORMATION. I have proof of this. I didn’t get the direction's until I made a call to her just before 3;00 pm. She claims she sent it to me but I had been checking my email at least 2 days before all the way up to the 3:00 checkin time. She sent it to me after I called and said I didn’t get it. Then on our first full day there, May 16 after returning from an early morning hike in volcano we were hoping to take a peaceful nap (2:30 pm) because we had plans to meet friends for dinner. There was someone on the property sawing wood and nail pounding making a fence right when we were looking forward to the peaceful time we came there in the first place! Noise continued for hours and as a result we could not rest! The worst experience! Never again!

The only regret i have about our stay is that with all the exploring we did at the volcano, we really didn’t have time to linger on the deck. The outside deck was worth every penny of the rental….surrounded by trees, lots of seating, a firepit and the background sounds of birds and frogs. It felt like we were in a treehouse. The house was well stocked and perfect for our needs. Thank you!

Great access to Volcanoes National Park to allow early morning hikes when exposed areas are still cool, or evening sky-watching (or lava viewing--though not currently active in April 2024). Enjoyed spacious kitchen and plenty of sleeping/lounging room for children and in-law who joined trip. Lots of outside lounging space protected from April showers. Propane stove and fire-pit amenities were much appreciated to warm up in morning and cook in evening, and large screened windows allowed for quick cool-down after mid-day sun heating.

Our family of 4 (kids age 8 and 11) has been visiting a bunch of national parks lately, and this location was at least as convenient as any of the ‘in-the-park’ lodges we’ve stayed at, but way nicer. It’s less than 5 minutes from the park entrance/visitor’s center.
It felt very private, like we were alone in the middle of the rainforest. We loved relaxing on the covered balcony next to the fire pit while the rain came down around us. There was more than enough room for the 4 of us (6 adults would be comfortable).
The host was very responsive, and checking out was a piece of cake. We would absolutely stay here again.

We used this home as a jumping off place to explore the national park, Hilo, and Mauna Kea. It was cozy and clean with beautiful surroundings.

We called this place our Rainforest Tree House. Such a beautiful location. The owner was very sweet to work with. The house was clean and well taken care of. Our hardest issue were the stairs, but we managed. Our only other complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Our family really enjoyed all of the common room space, and especially evenings on the large deck around the gas fire pit.

We visit the Big Island every year and stay in Kona. We usually make a trip or sometimes two to Volcanoes NP and decided this year we just wanted to stay there for a few days and avoid the long drive! And we are glad we did.
It is a different climate, especially in December being near 4,500ft elevation. It rained most of the time we were there (that's why there is a rain forest!! ;))and it never got above 60 degrees, but we loved it and loved the house.
The interior of the house was open and very warm with wood interior and cathedral ceilings. It was very comfortable for our family. The unit it basically the second floor of the house and the first floor was occupied but we hardly knew it.
We enjoyed sitting inside and seeing the rain come down. The house is in the forest and you can't see any other houses. But you can see the beautiful vegetation and Hawaiian flowers growing wild around the house.
But even better than the house itself is the huge bright covered deck, which we loved. We spent much of our time in the house sitting on the deck next to the firepit, listening to all of the bird sounds.(And we had no bugs!!) .
The house was only a few minutes drive to the National Park and the village of Volcano. And even though it rained, we still did our hiking (we're from Seattle so we don't really notice it). Finally, Danielle is very easy to work with and friendly.
We plan on staying again on our next trip.

Large and comfortable spot. Great location to visit the park. The setting in the forest is really cool we even saw wild boar in the yard. Some noise from the owner downstairs is the only negative. The property manager is very responsive and professional.

We had stayed at this property before and loved it. Our friends loved being in the trees. We were looking forward to using the hot tub but unfortunately it was under repairs . Will definitely be back.

One night stay after a day at Volcanoes National Park. Close enough to the park that we went back in the morning for a few hours before check-out at 11:00. Very roomy for 6 adults with comfy beds and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the lanai with the propane fire on table. We felt like we were in the jungle! It had everything we needed and we would have been happy to stay longer if our schedule allowed.

This house is very comfortable and is surrounded with trees and plants. It’s like living in the jungle! The location is so peaceful and beautiful and very close to the volcano national park.
We enjoyed the large, covered deck and fire pit in the chilly mornings as we started the day. The indoor propane fireplace was also very cozy.
This is a great place to stay and perfect for 6 people.

Love the upstairs covered balcony, and thefloor layout. I was worried about the lack of a/c, but it really cools off at night. Nightime birds can be a loud so bring earplugs if an issue. Great communication with manager. Highly recommend

Beautiful garden oasis just minutes from Volcano Nat. Park. Comfy/cozy. We should have booked for
a longer stay! Missed the spewing volcano by 1 day but the crater rim trail is stunning and chain of Craters Rd. is amazing. The hosts were very pleasant. Grateful! Mahalo

The property was very clean and the covered garden balcony was beautiful, surrounded by 10 foot tall ferns. Loved the interior stove for heat. Thank you very much for a comfortable stay!

It is the perfect location for visiting volcano National park. My family really like the location and spacious flat with beautiful ferns.
If they can provide a 12 inches nonstick pan for cooking, that would be even more enjoyable.
5.0
So comfortable! Easy to find, easy access, so much room and such a tropical retreat to return to during our family exploration of the Volcano National Park. The Park needs more than one day to explore and staying here gave us the opportunity to get up at dawn to walk the Kīlauea Iki trail without the crowds, get back for a cooked breakfast before moving on.
5.0
Our extended family of 6 stayed here for 2 nights to explore the volcanoes national park. It was 3 mins away and very convenient to make multiple trips to the park.
The house itself was comfortable and well appointed. It is a bit dated and could use some refreshing, but it was true to the pictures and we knew that going in.
The fireplace and outdoor fire pit was lovely. Kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the host was excellent. Overall, very satisfied and perfect place to stay for exploring the region.

Seemed to have the cheapest amenities. No dishwasher. Dingy furniture. It wouldn’t take much to up the appeal.

This property worked well for our group of two couples sharing the property, cozy to visit and loved the fireplace on our rainy morning.
