Deluxe, Private Sanctuary at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!

It came with everything one could need, and more. It was everything promised and more. The hosts have thought of everything. I was surprised at their attention to detail at every turn. They provided items for my first breakfast, a washer and dryer and laundry soap, every possible kitchen implement, a cooler, backpack, yoga mat, beautiful appliances, information about the area, a book about the history of this special property, beautiful linens. There are indoor and outdoor spaces in which to relax and enjoy the beauty of this nurturing and healing spot.

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.

This was a beautiful property in every way, the hot tub and the outdoor shower are phenomenal, the lovely owners left some fresh bananas, croissants, and granola for us upon arrival. Property was beautiful and well-maintained, literally nothing bad to say about this place whatsoever. It is gorgeous and we very much appreciate Janet and Paul! Someday we will return to Hilo and stay here again! Mahalo!

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.

Property was better than the photos!

Tucked away in the jungle with wild pheasants roaming the property, indoor and lanai fireplaces, and a really amazing outdoor hot tub, this gorgeous cottage was perfect for the weekend. We loved everything about this place.

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.

Volcano Mist Cottage is a very special place! Janet and Paul have created a beautiful retreat and thought of every detail. Instructions for being good guests were easy to follow and the information left for finding nearby fun and adventure was thorough. The spirit of the place is relaxing and joyful! We loved our experience here and hope to return!!

We enjoyed every detail of this beautiful cottage. The craftsmanship is esquitiste. The hot tub was relaxing and the extra warm blankets and two fireplaces were much appreciated to warm us up on cool mornings. We will definitely be back!

Janet and Paul’s cottage is not to be missed. It’s comfortable and inviting. We really appreciated that they provided everything we needed for our first breakfast. Thank you Janet and Paul (and everyone else who helps maintain the cottage) for sharing this magical place.

One of the best properties I’ve stayed at. Super private and tranquil, only a couple of miles from the national park. I wish I could have stayed longer. I’m sure to book here again if I ever pass through!
