Aloha and Welcome to the Dancing Bamboo Cottage!

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is located on 3 acres surrounded by the Big Islands upcountry rain forest. Lush guava and bamboo jungle, beautiful anthuriums, large Ohi'a trees and Hapu'u ferns surround the property. And you're minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has a whole new look after the great eruption of 2018 that closed the Park for several months!

Please note that there is another rental on this large property- Dancing Ferns. 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 areas are on opposite sides from each other and there is space between the units so your privacy is assured. If you need more room there is a discount for renting both units together by booking Dancing Volcano Estate.

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is a detached studio located just outside a beautiful country home, Dancing Ferns which is also available for vacation renting. The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large king bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, WiFi, DVD player with a selection of movies, coffee pot, microwave and mini-fridge.
Please NOTE: there is NO washer/dryer, no phone (cell service is good) and no air conditioning (at 3,500 ft elevation the air is naturally cool).

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.

Rates are for single or double occupancy. Cleaning and other fees will also apply.

Need more room Our main house, Dancing Ferns, is a fantastic place to stay too. Dancing Ferns 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). Book BOTH for a discount - ask us how!

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

    Strong cigarette smell upon arrival, moldy pillow case, extremely uncomfortable bed.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was good for my purposes of strictly visiting the volcano. I didn’t feel like the rental was clean however. It had the feeling of appearing clean but I didn’t trust that it actually was. The fridge didn’t work and smelled awful, pretty upset since they recommend you buy groceries in town and everything spoiled and took on the disgusting smell of the fridge. Wasted my money and then had to dine out anyway.The support mattress sheet had a bunch of stains on it. The gate lock was really old and rusted, pretty painful on the fingers to unlock each time. The shower drained pretty slowly. It felt like an air bnb but not really great quality. The towels were thin and the bathroom mirrors were placed too high. Overall I felt it was ok for the price. I will probably try to book further in advance and stay at a hotel next time.

    Not provisioned for an extended stay. 4 towels and 2 wash clothes is not enough for 2 people for a 7 day stay.

Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great experience staying in the cottage. It was near the national park but not too close to town which was nice. It gets a bit muddy when wet and is fairly dimly lit at night near the gate which makes it a little bit of a challenge to open the gate. The cottage was just as pictured, very clean and well kept. This is a great place to stay if you don’t plan to cook but they do have a toaster oven, microwave and a regular drip coffee maker which was nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My partner and I stayed here for a couple nights for the Volcano National Park leg of our Hawaii visit. The Bamboo cottage is just as described. It's super close to the national park and was a nice place to come back to after we were done exploring. So quiet and peaceful and the STARS were amazing. Coffee on the lanai before we headed out, just taking in the landscape... I would definitely stay again.

    Nice cottage off the main house. Very clean. Everything just as listed. Only issue was NO HEAT, and we stayed during one of those rare times it does get cool in the winter, 50's outside at night, makes it low 60's in the room. Maybe we should have known better, but now you do too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this has been a great place to stay. very nice quality house and clean. in short this place is the reason why the local resorts and hotels bribed the mayor, and others, to pass restrictive laws against short term vacation rentals because people were no longer staying at hotels and resorts. yes there are somethings to consider. there is a unpaved road for the last block of road. not all the lots/homes in the estate are perfect and clean but they are never bothersome or a problem, minor and hardly worth mentioning. a washer/dryer would be nice but for that you would have to pay more due to the price of electricity on island and depending on your length of stay not an issue if you pack right. i would stay here again (and probably will) and recommend it to anyone.
