This was our first time renting a property instead of booking a hotel, and they were the most pleasant people to rent with. Elaine saw that we bought wine, but didn’t have glasses and brought us some nice crystal for the trip. They were cordial in asking if we needed laundry done, and places to visit on the island. We loved it here and definitely would come back.
Elaine was always prompt with responding to our emails and was friendly and helpful when we arrived. The charming studio was decorated for Christmas and had everything we needed (but don't plan on preparing food--very limited kitchenette). Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperative--raining, cool, very windy at Volcano, and we woke up to fog and drizzle in the morning--so we decided to stay only one night rather than the two that we had booked. The only negative is that the property is adjacent to the highway, and if you are a light sleeper, you will hear traffic noise during the night.
Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Elaine, setting a positive tone for the beginning of our stay. The location is perfect for exploring the park. We would definitely recommend other couples to stay here.
The hosts, Carter and Elaine, were very friendly. This place was as advertised and centrally located for the Volcano National Park along with day trips to Hilo and south of the island. Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Carter & Elaine's Fern Studio. Carter welcomed us on arrival and was very helpful and friendly. The studio is a cozy place to stay for a couple nights if you are exploring the national park. We'd definitely stay here again!
We had a fabulous 2 night stay at the volcano studio. Cozy, very clean, really well laid out little studio with a super comfy bed. Elaine and Carter were great hosts, very welcoming and what a lovely touch to have a little bottle of bubbly in the fridge on arrival. We loved going up to see the volcano erupting at night (you can see so much more of the lava in the dark), walking the national park trails and driving to see the lava trees and Pohoiki black sand beach where the 2018 lava flow meets the sea. The studio is also a short drive to a variety of restaurants of which we enjoyed 2 meals out. Huge thank you to Elaine & Carter for having us at your lovely studio. We would highly recommend!
Close to park! Very clean, had all the amenities needed for short stay. Perfect for a couple exploring park!
Comfortable!
I can't say enough good about this rental. The studio itself is well thought out with everything that you need and something you didn't know you needed. The bed is comfy and you can tell that the owners take great pride in the experience. It was great to be able to meet with Carter and Elaine and they are incredibly nice and welcoming hosts. We enjoyed the sounds of the rainforest as well as Rolan Da Rooster, while using the fern studio as our base to explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The only downside we found is that we had to leave, but would absolutely stay again if/when we return to the big island. Thanks for providing one of our favorite places to stay in all of our travels!
This was the most perfect place to stay in the Volcano area! Elaine and Carter were so welcoming, and their cottage was so beautiful and comfortable! We would stay again in a heartbeat!
This was such a great place with even better hosts. They had plenty of local recommendations and we were minutes to the volcano. Would recommend this place to anyone!
Loved the guest house (tiny home) feel and look!!
