Everything was as expected. We arrived in the evening and the check In was easy. The house is really beautiful, a lot of wood, it is clean and you will find fire wood for the evening.. A good experience.

Perfect location for multi day Volcano NP experience. House as described. Perfect for our family.

The house had a nice rustic feeling. The fireplace with wood was available for us to use. The kitchen had everything we wanted. It is very close to Volcano National Park and one can even come back during day to rest for couple of hours and head back. There couple of nice restaurants/ Thai food truck nearby. The house is close to street but off the highway. So there is some vehicle noise during day but very peaceful at night. This was not a bother as we were out for most of day time. Taressa was very good at communicating throughout.

This was a great property. Beautiful, spotless, spacious and comfortable. I have already recommended to friends!

Great place , peaceful, as anticipated

Great house, Great location. The living room was a little cool in the morning, but we have been to Volcano before and knew what to expect (they do get snow once in a while). We love the area, and La Capanna has really good energy.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. There are a few great restaurants close by and it's really close to Volcano National Park, so perfect for night time visits.

Our party included a couple ladies in their 70's, and they LOVED this cottage, comparing it to Jack London's cottage in Glen Ellen, California. Proximity to the National Park was wonderful, and we've always enjoyed our stays in Volcano.

The stay was pleasant . We also got lucky and had nice weather.

LaCapanna was a welcoming home for our first visit to Hawai'i. Enough room for 4 adults to hang out together and retire to separate quarters, as desired. The rustic cedarwood walls throughout the home made our stay so inviting. The kitchen is fully stocked with essentials (i.e., pots, pans, plates, mugs, basic cooking condiments, etc.), the bathrooms have plenty of fresh towels (under the sink), and the bedrooms have plenty of blankets to keep cozy at night. We also made use of the woodburning stove which warmed the whole house and helped offset the electricity pull of the individual room heaters. Having access to a laundry was icing on the cake! PROTIP: Shower in the secondary bedroom suite sprays warmer/hotter water when the dial lever is closer to the C than the H. Excellent location for entry into the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to coming back the next time we are on the Big Island.

Really happy with the property. Was in a great location just 5 minutes from the national park. House itself was all we hoped for. Huge yard for kids to run around in. Inside was basic but comfortable with lots of extras like books for kids and kids dinnerware. Would stay here again.

Can't beat the La Capanna location, minutes from HVNP. Wood fireplace & space heaters work well to handle the nighttime chill. Well stocked with kitchen supplies. Taressa responded quickly & well to a minor issue in kitchen. Hope to stay again!

We rented this property for my family (myself, husband, 5 year old, and grandparents). Due to covid, only parents made the trip. The property manager was fantastic, quick to respond and so understanding. My parents LOVED it there. I tried to rent again for the rescheduled part of our trip, but it was booked. I have recommended this property to others!

We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and loved having the wood-burning stove to warm the place up. Very enjoyable.

Wonderful, old plantation house. Could not have been better.

We booked our stay at La Capanna months in advance and enjoyed researching the Big Island and the village of Volcano in anticipation for our trip. Taressa was very easy to communicate with and answered all questions, etc. We started in Kona, stayed in Volcano three nights, heading to Hilo to round out the island. Volcano and The National Park are very different from the beach towns. Quiet, with a few small stores, cafes, and restaurants (dinner reservations suggested). We spent two days at the park, including a long, worthwhile walk to see active lava at dusk. We loved this historic rental cottage, which felt very much like a cabin in our home state of Maine. La Capanna is neat as a pin and even more charming than the photos depict. All you need are a few groceries and your favorite beverages. We prepared breakfasts and one evening meal with ease. Mornings were chilly, so we used the space heaters until the wood stove took over. By noontime and into the evening the outside temps were balmy. A number of lifelong memories were made in Volcano.

A historic and charming place to stay. Extremely well stocked for cooking and comfort. The wood burning stove is a wonderful feature that we used every night. The property is perfectly located for exploring the Volcano National Park, the Puna district, and the East side of the Island. I can't say enough great things about this place. The host Teressa is awesome to work with.

Charming, comfortable, clean, and nicely appointed. Easy access to the National Park.

This was one of the best finds we've ever made on VRBO. Such a sweet little cabin perfect for our desire to stay near the volcano and Hilo, pass up the glitz and go for the charm. We say little cabin, but it was the perfect size for us and our 4 almost-grown teenagers. And a great price for 3 full bedrooms and 2 baths. If you're looking for a charming, cozy (wood stove was perfect every morning) getaway, this is it. And the place was immaculate!

Wonderful location for constant enjoyment of the national park. Community has good food, areas to walk and friendly artist vibe. The house was cool when warm outside, property is lush with outdoor living options.

Our party of 6 senior adults very much enjoyed our stay at La Capanna. We all appreciated its unique historic character and furnishings. We arrived on a cool rainy night, having the woodstove was wonderful! The main living area is spacious, the beds are comfortable and the entire home was immaculately clean. The kitchen was well stocked/equipped for easy meals. The yard and patio area were lovely and relaxing. The location is perfect for visiting Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. We especially enjoyed how easy it was to visit the park later at night to see the lava flows after the crowds had left. Taressa was a welcoming host, easy to be in touch with and very responsive. We all recommend La Capanna if visiting the Volcano area! Tip: Volcano Village is small, with one small market and a handful of eateries. Due to current staffing shortages, open hours are reduced. We had been staying elsewhere on the island so had some groceries with us. Others may want to make a stop before arriving.

Comfortable house. Easy to get to. The only complaint is the coqui frogs. But you get them everywhere on this side of the island.

Very quiet and peaceful, Good parking situation. Very close to Volcano National Park. Good Thai food truck nearby. Host was very easy to communicate with. Charming cottage atmosphere.

This was The kind of place where you don’t want to leave. Great atmosphere with rainy cold days for cuddling up next to the fireplace. Excellent location if you want to go in and out of the park.

Our multi-generational group had an excellent stay at La Capanna. We enjoyed the feel of family history in the cottage, and the spacious design was perfect for the six of us. In late March it was cool in the evening but we did not feel we had to use the wood-burning stove. The cottage is great for those who appreciate lodgings with a historic character, quiet evenings, and being just minutes away from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.

Private, authentic, lots of space.
