Charming 2-bedroom cottage with a hot tub. 5 Min to Volcanoes National Park!
Welcome to Kolea Cottage - where comfort meets environmental responsibility. Wake up to the peaceful sound of native birds singing surrounded by miles of lush native Hawaiian rainforest. It’s the perfect place to stargaze and relax in the private hot tub after a day of adventures with family or friends. Stay put or explore what the quaint Volcano area has to offer. You can spend your days viewing lava fountains, hiking the national park, exploring lava tubes, golfing, or visiting the winery. The space Kolea Cottage is a private, stand-alone home completely separate from the host’s house nestled within thousands of acres of pristine rainforest.
Enjoy the outdoors on your own private lanai, featuring: • A hot tub • Fire tower • BBQ grill • Loungers • Dining set
Inside, both bedrooms feature comfortable king-size beds and closets. • Bedroom 1 includes a full en-suite bathroom with a tiled shower. • The second full bathroom (with a tub/shower combo) is located off the hallway, across from the fully equipped laundry area.
The house is newly built, fully insulated, and outfitted with air conditioning and heating for your comfort. The cozy living room includes a queen-sized Murphy bed—no uncomfortable pull-out couches here! Enjoy your favorite shows on the large TV with access to Hulu, Disney+, HBO, and Netflix.
The full-sized kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a home-cooked meal. We also provide self-serve breakfast items, including: • Pancake mix (with butter and syrup) • Oatmeal with mix-ins • Fresh fruit • Local coffee • A variety of teas • Half & half
You’ll also find a reverse osmosis water spout by the kitchen sink—perfect for refilling your reusable water bottle.

This is a new house that is immaculate and well designed. The hosts have left instructions for everything from the dishwasher to the hot tub for you. There is pancake mix and oatmeal with an instruction card, a well stocked pantry, very nice linens and bedding. The hot tub is surrounded by beautiful plants on a quiet and private deck. We were able to drop off our luggage early which was a huge help in maximizing our time at Volcano Park. Such a great value and location.

We live in Hawaii and so visit Volcano often. We absolutely loved this cottage, probably more than any that we have stayed in previously. The lanai is beautiful with local flowers, hot tub and lighting. The kitchen has everything that you could possibly want - assorted teas, coffee, fresh cream in the refrigerator, oatmeal, bananas, filtered water system and more. The beds were extremely comfortable -- loved the pillows! Beautiful towels in the bathrooms. Just an amazing spot and one that we hope to return to. Thank you McKenzie!

This gorgeous cottage along w/ the BBQ, hot tub, fresh coffee, comfortable mattresses, dishwasher and high quality beddings made the stay unbeatable for an island hop over the weekend. Mckenzie was a responsive host when contacted. The photos are accurate but doesn’t capture the true beauty and solitude of the cottage. Mckenzie thought of everything to include laundry soap/sheets and kind enough to leave half&half creamer in the fridge for our stay. The kitchen had necessary utensil's to use the bbq grill as we brought steaks with us from Costco on Oahu before we flew out. The home smells fairly new & feels like it hasn’t been there for years which made me feel like thousands of people haven’t slept in that bed. We would stay here again as we live on Oahu and thats a 45min flight away. I would like to remind everyone viewing this review to remember that groups of ppl may travel together and choose to stay at different accommodations for many reasons. We travelled with friends and our children so we met up once at our place so we could show our amazing accommodations and get payment for a large order of smoked sausage. VRBO we didn’t have a gathering or a party. We did show off our accommodations to 4 different heads of households and provide a tour of the home we stayed in. Thank you Mckenzie for having all the condiments and extra tea, pancake batter, oatmeal to include thin fresh bananas!
This place is a gorgeous home. They are very thoughtful about any needs you might want. It has a perfect location for visiting the Volcano National Park. Clean & practically brand new. Beds are soft & comfortable.
