The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, now taking a pause, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors' views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. Over half of the park is designated wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site. The National Park Web site provides up-to-date information, tours, and hiking trails. Keywords: Beautiful!

Although the property is less than a mile from hwy 11, it is VERY dark and lushly vegetated. I loved that there were flashlights. There was even a basket of chunky foot warming stocks. The bathroom showers had professional shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers. The towels were luxurious. The beds were sooo comfortable. We stayed 3 nights.

We should have done the opposite! It was a tranquil, quiet retreat that was absolutely beautiful and so much to do around the area. The house was super-clean and we found everything we needed to prepare all our own meals. The beds were comfortable and being able to open the doors at night (there are screens on all of them) on all sides of the house was amazing! Our host did a great job communicating and was responsive with a couple of questions we had about the grill (gas, not charcoal) while we were shopping on our way in. Great experience ... will book again for longer when we can get away to the Big Island again! ##### Mark B.

It is about a five minute drive to the entrance of the park. Its location is in a neighborhood in Volcano Village but you would not know it as the house sits back off a lightly traveled street and it was incredibly quite and serene. It was nice during the day and cool, almost cold at night. The wrap around porch was comfortable and perfect for our first 2 nights on the Big Island. It was easy to relax. The host, Peggy, was easy to communicate with and she made sure to reach out to make sure we got checked in OK. The fresh fruit was a very nice touch and introduced us to apple bananas, which are amazing! I would not hesitate to stay at this house again. ##### John R.

Peggy, our host, is clearly felt in this lovely and well appointed home. This is not just a rental, but a home, beautifully constructed and furnished. Not that we do any less anywhere we stay, Peggy's home makes you want to care for it like it was your own. The cottage sits in what is essentially a rainforest like environment without the rain (I'm sure it gets rain because of the lushness, but not during our visit), and at dusk you are serenaded by tree frogs, which makes cocktails on the long deck a real treat. Peggy was always accessible for questions, and she is an exceptional host. Eggs were in the refrigerator, fruit on the counter, coffee beans with grinder were provided as well as sugar and coffee mate (I got my own half and half though). I highly recommend this cottage, only minutes from Volcano National Park. ##### Steve V. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave E.

The property’s interior and exterior and the location were all five star. Property was extremely well kept, furnishings up to date. Peggy was timely and on point with her communications. We had everything we needed to make this an extremely enjoyable stay. We definitely plan to stay again. ##### Dave E.

Very convenient to stores, restaurants, and Volcanoes Park. Peggy was a great host with coffee provided, plenty of kitchenwares, towels, and blankets. Very thoughtful with umbrellas, flashlights, and even a basket full of warm socks by the door. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Allison W.
