We had a lovely stay. It was just right for the two of us. We loved relaxing in the hot tub. The dehumidifier did a great job keeping out the humidity and was useful for drying things out. The heated toilet seat was a nice touch We

We got to the house on a Saturday evening, check in was easy and we had no issues. We went to the Cooper Center Farmers market on Sunday morning and loaded up in fruits and vegetables and actually ended up making most of our meals at the house instead of eating out because it was just so peaceful to be there. Very clean too!

For nature lovers, this is an ideal spot. The road to get to the property is narrow and totally enshrouded in jungle trees. The yard is beautiful. We spent every morning and evening on the private porch listening to birds and frogs. It is SILENT at night except for the frogs. Very dark. The house has motion lights though to light the porch. It was very fun coming in on our first night, driving through the trees in a misting rain. Such a great atmosphere. The house is adorable. It's a duplex but the porch is totally private. We didn't hear the other occupants or see them at all. There is a hot tub in the back yard but we didn't use it. The inside of the house is nice, clean, and well furnished. Decorated very cute. Im in love with the yellow front doors. The bathroom looked pretty new with a fancy toilet. Toiletries were provided. Everything clean and well maintained.The kitchen was cute and modern and stocked with pots and pans, coffee maker, etc. Has an automatic ice maker in the freezer for those wonderful post hiking tropical drinks. A little snack bar is available for a small donation if you forgot your hiking snacks. The bedroom was spacious enough for all our bags to be strewn about. The sheets and comforter were wonderfully soft. Bed is firm. In short, we loved staying here and wished we had stayed longer instead of the other hotel at the beach. The solitude and nature can't be beat and the town of volcano looked interesting. There's even a winery up the road! Volcano National Park is so close too. Easy to go back after dark if you happen to be there during an eruption and want to see the lava. I would totally stay here again.

We highly recommend this quiet, cozy stay near Volcano National Park. It was a short drive (<10 min) to the park entrance allowing us to get there early and beat the crowds. Stacey communicated before and during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed which we appreciated. Her place was very clean and very quiet at night except for the sounds of the rainforest birds singing which we absolutely loved! We will definitely book this place again when we go back to Volcano.

We had an amazing week-plus here and loved our time! Volcano is away from the big crowds, so it was perfect to have a full kitchen for breakfasts and/or dinners when it was raining too hard for us to want to leave the cozy nest. The property is also lovely, with a hot tub and spots to sit and watch the rain or enjoy the sunshine, when we had it. Our host was so kind and responsive when we had major travel woes, and checked in with us during our time, but also gave us our space.

My family chose this property because of the proximity to Volcanoes National Park and we were beyond pleased our stay! The house is adorable and well decorated, very comfortable and plenty of space for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 tweens). It feels very secluded and the bird songs are relaxing. The host stayed in contact and responded quickly. The hot tub was wonderful! We had everything we needed and thoughtful items we appreciated.

This home is absolutely beautiful. The owner has put so much love and attention into every little detail, from the beautiful art, beautiful and comfortable bed, bright walls and tons of windows and fresh flowers everywhere. The location is perfect, just a short drive (less than 3 miles) to the National Volcano Park and Hilo is about 20 minutes if you want to explore. There is a small grocery store a couple of nice place to eat right outside your door. We especially loved evening walks along the long quiet road and then enjoying glass of wine while star gazing in the fabulous hot tub. The property is beautifully landscaped and lush with greenery. The weather is perfect and the added touch was the fireplace for snuggling up on the couch. Morning coffee on the front porch was so calming and peaceful just listening to the birds and the wind in the trees. Couldn't believe how quite and calm it was. Communication with Stacey was excellent, directions and instructions in guest book were excellent. We will rent this place again for sure. 10/10!!

Breakfast coffee on on the front porch was so peaceful just listening to the birds and the breeze in the trees. Don't be deterred by no AC. You don't need it. The fans are more than adequate. You will be turning on the fireplace before you even think about turning on an air conditioner. Stacey is a jewel, communication and directions were excellent.

Stacey's home could not have been more perfect. Upon opening the door I immediately felt peaceful and at ease and in awe of how beautiful it was. Her home is beautifully and tastefully decorated and the fresh flowers were so exquisite that I had to keep touching them to see if they actually were real. The home is light and airy, with tons of windows and feels much bigger than it’s actual size. The bed is to die for (honestly struggled to get out of it each morning it was so comfy). The kitchen is fully equipped and light and bright. The grounds are just beautiful. Lush green plants everywhere, immaculately cared for. Except for the banana trees and palms it almost feels like a sweet cabin in the mountains. With that said, the temperature is a bit cooler here but the electric wood stove was the absolute best. And the hot tub was perfect. With the temperature being cooler, it was a treat to be in the hot tub and marvel at the night sky and stars. This lovely home really is just right down the street from the Volcano National Park so it was especially nice to be able to go for long hikes and not worry about a long drive back to the house. Communication with Stacey was excellent. Directions are spot on. You will not regret your decision to stay in this lovely home!!
