Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii is a fantastic place to stay and visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park just a few minutes drive from our house. Our main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, large dining area, large living area with SMART TV, Free WiFi, and a large covered lanai (patio).
Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Bamboo Cottage. The units are fairly close in proximity but have no shared space other than the parking area, so don't be alarmed if you see a vehicle when you arrive. The outdoor spaces are on opposite sides of each other and there is space between, so your privacy is assured. To rent both together for a party of 8 total guests, book Dancing Volcano Estate.
The luxurious living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing with an L-shaped leather sofa, TV, games and books. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare those scrumptious island meals. The stunning outdoor lanai is one of the highlights of the home, featuring a formal dining area and lounge chairs for relaxing in the shade while enjoying the peace and quiet this area offers.
Our main bedroom features a King sized bed, walk-in closet, and full ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower. There are 2 more exquisite guest bedrooms; one bedroom has 2 twin beds, and the other has a queen. These two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area from the main bedroom for privacy and the use of the second full bathroom. The second bathroom has a full sized washer and dryer for your use.
We provide beautiful bedding, extra blankets and there are heaters in each room. It can get quite chilly at 3500' elevation!

What to Pack:
The Island of Hawaii, aka the Big Island, boasts over 4,000 square miles and 10 different climate zones, within which are many micro climate zones! You may think that packing your favorite swimsuit and slippers (flip flops) is enough, but not true if you plan on doing any hiking or sightseeing around the island. The Volcano area can get quite chilly with temperatures dropping down to the low 40s at night, sometimes lower, so do bring your favorite warm pajamas and at least a light jacket. It actually snows often on Mauna Kea, but they close those roads whenever there are blizzard conditions present.

Property was perfect for our adult family of 5. We were able to make day trips to the National Park, and other national monument sites (drove the whole island) skirting the rain best we could. Property was gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious. Loved the ammenities and the views.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was well appointed and clean. A nice quiet neighborhood and in very close proximity to Volcano National Park. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in this area of the island.

The house has a ton of space compared to other options and was quite private (the Dancing Bamboo Cottage was not occupied during our stay). We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen! The property description is spot on regarding grocery options—be sure to stock up in Hilo or Kona if you want to cook meals since the two stores in Volcano only have the very basics and prices are much higher than in town.

The first thing out of our daughter’s mouth when we got here was “why didn’t we stay here the whole time”. (We split our vacation between Hilo and Kona). The entire family agreed. Pictures don’t do this place justice. It was perfect. For sure want to come back!!

Beautiful cottage in the rainforest near HVNP. As advertised. Very responsive contact person. This is a unique setting, and beautifully decorated. Great location for visiting the volcanoes park. Comfy beds. Space heaters and blankets appreciated. They do only provide a couple detergent pods for dishwasher and laundry. Stock up on groceries in Hilo first. We enjoyed seeing wild pigs and birds out back.

Our annual girls vacation retreat landed us somewhere out of the ordinary, and it was exactly what we needed! Dancing Fern was immaculately clean and well-stocked. The electric fireplace and the towel warmer was a bonus as it was a bit chilly, as well as the fresh lemons and sweet gardenias in the backyard! Simple pleasures! Only downside was the spotty Wi-Fi, which is understandable being that the house is situated in a fern forest. Great way to unplug from the daily grind. The large dining room table was the center of our weekend where we enjoyed our brunches, charcuterie, and hours of catching up. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations!

This house may not be what people think of for a Hawaiian vacation but for 4 travelers from Phoenix, AZ the cool mountain air was a delight. The remote location was such a contrast to the intense noise of Honolulu we felt we had found our own little corner of Paradise.The house is simply stunning. The furnishings were of excellent quality & comfortable. There was lots of room to spread out & find your own quiet space. The patio was my personal favorite. I looked forward to our daily visits from the pheasant couple. Now if we only figure out how to keep that darn rooster from crowing all day long!The kitchen was probably the best equipped I have ever encountered. We found everything we needed to cook breakfast & dinner daily. The knives were even sharp & the cookware unstick!During our stay we needed a few maintenance issues dealt with but everything was promptly addressed by the rental team. (Excellent communication, by the way!)Know if you stay here you'll do a lot of driving. We knew that going in & we enjoyed our drives. There's lots of beautiful & interesting scenery on the Big Island & we did our best to see it all.I highly recommend The Dancing Ferns to anyone who craves a little corner of Paradise! You won't regret it.

House was nice. Needed more towels,better heating system and folding lawn chairs would be nice for taking to beach. We lost power twice and fire alarms went off . It would have not been such a problem if we had access to breaker box in garage. If these issues we rectified I would highly recommend house.
