Darling, Private Cottage Near Hawaii Volcanoes Nat'l Park

Volcano Kahaualea Cottage, a perfect place to explore the East Side of the Big Island, from the village of Volcano, Hawaii. Retreat from the world in privacy on 3 acres of lush forest. The cottage, constructed in 1982 and completely renovated in 2018 was artfully built from repurposed woods. The interior has vaulted ceilings throughout the single space and lots of windows onto the green surroundings.

The kitchen with concrete counters has a full size range and oven, refrigerator and enough counter space and small appliances to prepare meals. Dining seating is at the high top table for two inside or on the back lanai. There is a comfortable loveseat and SMART TV for streaming entertainment in the living area. Free WiFi throughout the Cottage. The electric fireplace can be turned on for heat and/or visual flames. The queen size bed has views of the forest from two angles. There is an air mattress that can be set up near the bed for a third person. The gorgeous bathroom hosts a large, tiled shower, toilet, sink and good sized closet. We've stocked the home for your comfort and use during your stay in Volcano. E Komo Mai (Welcome)!


This cottage is located on a very private forested 3 acres of Hawaiian rainforest. A romantic haven! A centralized location to explore the whole east side and to explore the now open Hawaii Volcano National Park.
It is located on 3 square acres of rainforest. 4.5 miles from the volcano National Park. Extremely private. Road is gravel for 3/10 of a mile but easily passable by even low clearance rental cars. Check out Volcano Village with a few wonderful restaurants and art shops. Ask us about the weekly farmer's market!

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Beautiful, secluded property. The cottage is surrounded by ferns and trees. The cottage is comfortable and cozy with all the amenities needed for your stay. The electric fireplace is a special treat on the cool evenings. Although there are neighbors, you feel like you are all alone. The communication with the property managers was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great location and charming interior layout. Always appreciate nice art on the walls. Very private and tropical surroundings. The kokee frogs will serenade you in the evening. The WiFi could have been stronger and a bit more kitchenware would be nice.

This is a really cool place, and would definitely stay here again! This cottage is on a private lot surrounded by beautiful, lush, green trees and plants that were very thoughtfully planted. There are no window coverings and the windows are everywhere, they were all clean and all slide open and have screens (also clean). It was especially nice to have the windows open during the day. The nights get cool in Volcano and there is a heater in the faux fireplace; however, the warm air goes up to the vaulted ceiling and there is no ceiling fan to push it back down. We were super lucky in that Kilauea erupted for 12 hours for one of the nights we were there and you could see the sky glowing out the bedside window!My only complaint is that it's past time for the loveseat to be professionally cleaned.

It was secluded, yet we'll within driving distance of anything you may want to do... or you can just stay in. Thanks for a great experience.

Very secluded location. Cabin layout was cozy and modern. Kitchen had all necessary appliances, dishes, pans, and utensils. Cooler and ice packs were available for use. If the frog noise bothers you turn on the dehumidifier. That helped a lot.

We were here for our honeymoon and this place was exactly as advertised. Quiet, relaxing, and well maintained! The frogs and the rain lulled us to sleep every night and became something we were looking forward to every night.

We spent the last part of our honeymoon here, it was incredible so clean and private. We loved to hear the rain in the middle of the night so relaxing. I also very much appreciated the property managers reaching out a few times to make sure our stay was great!

What a gem. My wife and I stayed at this cottage during a portion of our Hawaii vacation. It’s private, clean, has tasteful amenities + a great location for Volcanoes NP activities. Loved our stay, would absolutely visit again and would recommend it for any couple or solo traveler.
