Deluxe, Private Sanctuary at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!

'Volcano Mist Cottage is the perfect combination of camping out and 5-Star Hotel accommodations' (from our guestbook). This deluxe, personal and very private eco-resort is nestled in the Kilauea Forest Preserve adjacent to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - an International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Enjoy the very best of Volcano Village in our romantic one bedroom hideaway. Celebrate nature in the outdoor Temple Bath or Forestside Jacuzzi which invites you to soak or shower, enveloped by volcano mists, vibrant tree ferns, orchids and ginger blossoms. Sleep on a cloud with luxury multi-layered bedding providing the ultimate in comfort. Treat yourself to this one of a kind experience at the summit of Kilauea - the world's most active volcano. Experience life in Volcano Village, a unique arts and science community at 4,000 ft elevation next to the National Park. Watch the eruptions at the summit or lava flowing into the sea. Explore amazing lava tubes or hike miles of highland rainforest trails and rugged lavascapes.

'This is truly one of the most beautiful and tranquil places we have ever been, and we've been all over the world...the vivid memories will last a lifetime. We will never forget taking an outdoor shower in the middle of a fern forest as the sun dappled thru the lush greenery. We will never forget the incredibly beautiful pheasants who practically ate out of our hands, and we will never forget this beautiful place' (from our guestbook).

'This should sum it up - we have every real estate brochure we could find! This is the most perfect house in the most perfect setting...every detail is perfect! It was the perfect place to begin our honeymoon!' (from our guestbook).

The volcano mist cottage was such a lovely stay. The lush green rainforest surrounding the cottage needs to be seen to be believed, photos do not do justice to how serene the setting is. The cottage itself was very well set up. The owners have paid attention to small details like battery operated candles, the basics for our first breakfast, a full kitchen, and colored pencils and a guest book with guest testimonials dating back to so many years, to name only a few. Overall this felt like a lovely vacation, we fell in love with volcano and the big island. Hoping to be back soon.

We loved our stay at this amazing cottage! Just driving down the dead-end street for the first time was magical! So private and peaceful! Attention to detail (bathrobes, umbrellas, perishable practical food items, water cooler, etc.), lovely living spaces in and out, and the beautiful gardens - we were so comfortable here! Sitting in the hot tub was a wonderful way to end our days of hiking at the park (which was just a short drive away). We had one question and Scott returned our call within minutes. Owners Paul and Janet also corresponded regularly once we booked. We hope to return to Volcano Mist! Thank you!

Sanctuary!

This cottage is truly a sanctuary. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the beauty and tranquility of this property. The cottage itself is beautifully built and appointed. The bed was very comfortable and it was so lovely to wake up every morning to the tropical surroundings right outside the large windows. The sound of the light rain and birds chirping was very relaxing. My very favorite part of the day was drinking my coffee on the lenai and relaxing while surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the forest. My husband’s favorite part was relaxing in the hot tub after a day of hiking in Hawaii Volcanos National Park, and our toddler found the property to be loaded with interesting discoveries. We would be thrilled to stay here again in the future.

Private Rainforest Retreat - The Very Best!!

I have stayed throughout Hawaii and this was the very best. If you are looking for an extremely private and secluded location in a peaceful setting, this is truly the right accommodations for you. The outdoor hot tub and shower were a great touch and made the stay truly perfect. The cottage itself was just right for two people and was well stocked with nice finishes. I would without reservation recommend this rental. The price is on the higher side for a VRBO rental but it was truly worth it and a deal compared to hotels where you don't have the same level of privacy. I have stayed in Volcano a number of times and it is a perfect town to start my vacation and relax and I typically finish my trip at the Four Seasons. This rental is at the same level if not higher than a Four Seasons stay For the value and the experience I would not skip visiting Volcano nor this cottage.

Amazing Rental

Volcano Mist Cottage was everything as advertised...beautiful setting, all the amenities, wonderful hot tub, peaceful environment. We really enjoyed how quiet it was in the evening and the morning after a long day of activities.Volcano National Park is only a 5 min drive away. Very convenient! We rode ebikes through the park which is a great way to see the park. We also went to the town of Volcano market. Lots of fun. It's about a 45 min drive to Hilo.The owners keep their rental in perfect condition. It was very clean and the expectation is that guests keep it that way..like shoes off at the door, shower and dip feet in bucket before getting in the hot tub. Only thing is that it is tight in the bedroom and not much room for suitcases. restful after a long day of activities.

From the moment we stepped through the door, my husband exclaimed, “Oh, I wish we were staying here longer!” After several nights in resort hotels across Hawaii, this charming cottage near Volcanoes National Park felt like a true retreat — private, peaceful, and rejuvenating.Nestled deep within a lush rainforest, the Volcano Mist Cottage surpassed our expectations in every way. Surrounded by exotic plants and serenaded by the magical chirping of coqui frogs, the setting was absolutely enchanting. Arriving after dark, we were welcomed by a warm, beautifully lit cottage that instantly felt cozy and inviting.The attention to detail in this home is exceptional. We were delighted to find a thoughtfully stocked kitchen — fresh tropical fruit, farm-fresh eggs, buttery croissants, and handy pantry staples. Every comfort has been considered: the bed and linens are indulgently luxurious, and the furnishings are both comfortable and tastefully exotic, perfectly complementing the surroundings.One of our favorite features was the stunning outdoor shower — an experience not to be missed! While I only dipped my feet into the hot tub under the night breeze, even that felt wonderfully relaxing and serene.In every sense, our stay at Volcano Mist Cottage was an unforgettable highlight of our trip. We savored every moment and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this magical hideaway to anyone seeking a peaceful escape in the heart of Hawaii’s rainforest.

Cozy, romantic hideaway

Our stay was like a dream! Lush forest and gardens surround the house. We could hear nothing but birds, breeze through the trees, and sometimes the sound of raindrops. We both tried the outdoor shower, and now I want one in my backyard! The hosts left us a gift of fresh fruit, which was very appreciated! They thought of every possible need, from bathrobes to double sets of towels on a warming rack, not to mention an air purifier if we ever caught a whiff of volcanic smog aka “vog”—but we didn’t. We spent most of our time at Volcano National Park (which is about five minutes away) but I would have liked another day or two to spend time in front of one of the fire places with a book and a cup of tea. When we stay in Volcano again (and there will be a next time!) I’ll insist on a reservation at Volcano Mist!

Rainforest Perfection

Just as advertised. Quiet, (well, there were the Coquí serenades each evening) secluded retreat to nature while having just about anything you can possibly need to stay at Volcano NP. The binoculars and flashlights were an unexpected treat for our nighttime treks to the park for lava viewing. When I say well stocked, I don't think I could have asked for something that wasn't already conveniently stashed somewhere in the unit. This was the first time we stayed on that side of the island and noticed on arrival there were 2 fireplaces but no A/C, prompting a bit of panic at first. That was until evening rolled around and we realized why! Who needs A/C when the temp is in the 60s? Everything about this place is exactly what you would want for an adult get-a-way! Highly recommended.
