Our cottage was at the edge of the jungle, and we fell asleep both evenings to lovely birds singing throughout the night. The water dripping from wet leaves onto the rooftop was also soothing.

Very cute place. Nice a big. Quiet. Would for sure recommend. It is a little pricey. Only problem was it is a little hard to find as after you turn onto the street its "halfway down" on the right. Not a big deal when we found it. Again I would recommend and will consider saying again.

Great location for accessing Volcano National Park and related attractions. Room was quiet/secluded. Check-in ends at 5:30pm so we had to make alternative arrangements to get room access. It was fine. However, nowhere in the booking is it mentioned that water is non-potable. Maybe that's common in the area but it seems like an important detail. Bathroom needs some maintenance.

Great clean quaint lodge. Beautiful outlook in very quiet area. Special touch of fruit and goodies for breakfast and a huge bottle of water daily as water is not potable in the Volcano region. Office located at a nearby store which directions are clearly noted when booking the accommodation. Would definitely stay again.

Pros- The area was beautiful and the unit was clean.
Cons-unit was cold- was 50 degrees at night- they did have a propane heater but wondered if it was installed correctly. The units smoke detector in the room with the heater was missing off the ceiling- wires hanging and the detector in the bedroom kept beeping when the heater was in use. I didn’t want to die or carbon monoxide so we just were cold all night. Also the unit has non potable water- if I had known this ahead of time I would have brought water- they had a disposable gallon jug of water there but it wasn’t sealed/new and I didn’t feel comfortable using it. Also the people checking us in and out at the hardware store were polite there was no number to call if you had a problem.

I stayed two nights in Wolfie One. It was like a private cabin in a tropical forest. It is one of four units in a single building each unit having one corner of the building. There is a parking space, a nice, covered porch outside the entry, then a living room, a bedroom and a bath. In the living room there is a small refrigerator, a coffee maker but no microwave. There is a TV and DVD player. Do read the small instruction card to learn how to turn on the cable box and the TV.
The water is NOT potable but a jug of drinkable water is provided. I had to keep the bedroom door closed to keep the smoke detector quiet. The check-in desk is at the nearby but separate Ace Hardware store which is unusual but workable. I had breakfast at the nearby Kilauea Lodge; highly recommended. I also enjoyed Ohelo Cafe for lunch.

I really enjoyed my stay. The check in location was hard to find and located inside a convenience store, but they had very clear email instructions and it was on me for not reading carefully. Every staff I encountered was super welcoming, and complimentary snacks and fruits were provided. The area is a 5 min drive to Volcano national park, and there’s a Thai restaurant within walking distance. I have nothing to complain.

We were in Hilo visiting family and decided to stay here due to its previous reviews.
When we first enter the cabin, we immediately were hit with a musty odor.
Upon further inspection, we noticed areas in the kitchen that had food. The toaster had crumbs, and the sink had something in it.
The towels were damp due to the interior humidity. The rooms were dusty.
Some of the positives, the staff were nice and friendly, the water was hot, the cabin location was quiet and beautiful.

Positives: located two miles outside Volcanoes Nat’l Park, very peaceful, bed is small but comfortable, was reasonably clean, and the staff was super friendly. They left a nice little basket with a couple of bananas, etc. Negatives: aside from a newer frig, everything else seems to be from the 70’s and not in a cool retro way—in a falling apart, worn out way. Dish towels and dishes were old, matted, sticky. The musty, mildew smell was powerful. Was overpriced relative to its condition; glad we had it booked for just one night.

I loved this place, stayed in August with my adult children, plenty of room, loved sitting outside in the mornings, star gazing at night. Extra nice touch of fruit and muffins for breakfast, thanks to everyone for making this a memorable vacation!

Beautiful, tranquil property! Loved the cabin feel! Plenty of beds! Very secluded and quiet! No portable drinking water was ok but unexpected.

You are paying for location and access to the National Park. We arrived after dark having discovered that checkin was a two hour window that with car rental collection in Kona, which was a farce, made it impossible to achieve. The lodge we were staying in was very difficult to find, my daughters have completed many orienteering courses in their late teens and it took us nearly an hour to find. Up and down various roads with multiple obstacles in the rain, eventually we arrived and everyone was very uncomfortable in the environment. We had two lodges booked but all stayed together for safety as we felt very exposed. When we awoke the next morning it was a stunningly beautiful, tranquil spot in a rain forest on the edge of the volcano park and we all felt a bit stupid for how we felt the night before. The accommodation is very basic and doesn’t reflect the price paid but the location was fantastic in day light. We were in the park before 8am and did the whole park by 2pm so we achieved what we wanted from staying here, probably would stay further out in Hilo if doing it again though?

The cabin was perfect for a night at the volcano and spending so time in a quiet surrounding with the family. The cabin is huge and great setup. Heating the cabin with the fireplace is a challenge, first to turn it on, but mostly because the heat really strikes the second floor.
Overall I would have loved to stay one more night.
To make the experience even better, bring table games for the family to enjoy.

This is my second time staying. Property is good, very convenient if you are visiting the park. This time the cleanliness was a little issue. These cabins are very moist so they have dehumidifiers provided. When I walked into our cabin it wasn’t running and smelled very damp. The couch had lots of mold in the cracks as well as the pillows. There was also urine left in our toilet. Other than those issues, stay was good, fresh water and fruits provided.

The house was great. The only issue was the cable was hooked up but didn't work. However, there was wifi so we watch from our streaming apps.
