Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii
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!
3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps up to 6 guests in 4 beds) Beds: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins Full Kitchen Dishwasher All Cooking Utensils Microwave SMART TV for streaming Wifi Internet DVD/CD Player x 3 Linens Provided Towels & Beach Towels Provided Towel Warmer BBQ Grill – Gas Washer/Dryer Several Restaurants Close (Volcano) No Smoking No Pets Hilo 35 min.

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.
Need more room: Rent our cottage, Dancing Bamboo! The detached Dancing Bamboo Cottage is stunning! The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large King bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, Dish TV, DVD player with a vast selection of movies, wireless internet, coffee pot, microwave, toaster oven and mini-fridge.
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! TA-168-081-9200-01 STVR-19-359681 NUC-19-1092

The property was just as described. It's located just the right distance from Volcano Park. This was probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in.
Great place if you want to be close to Volcano National Park. We enjoyed our stay. Outside patio was nice and peaceful to have meals. Plenty of space for our family to spread out. Kitchen with great supplies and laundry W/D convenient. We would stay again!
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.
This house was perfect for our stay in Volcano to explore Volcano National Park. I loved the quiet setting, the cleanliness of the house, the cooking amenities available, and the contact with the owner. I would definitely stay again.
A nicely decorated house surrounded by nature. Very convenient to the national park. We especially enjoyed playing games on the lanai with the grandkids while listening to all the birds.
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 loved dancing ferns! It was conveniently located. It was a beautiful and comfortable home.

This property in Volcano was absolutely perfect! Lots of space for our family of 6, tons of extra blankets to stay warm on cooler evenings, and great location for access to the National Park. Would definitely stay here again!
A cool home base in the rainforest to be able to explore everything at the National Volcano Park and do-able drive to Hilo for more adventures. We even did Mauna Kea one night for sunset and stargazing. Secluded and quiet it was a great place for our family to start our vacation.
Dancing Ferns was the perfect rainforest retreat for our trip to Volcano. It was very comfortable for our group of 6. The house is only 10-15 mins from Volcano National Park and close to Volcano village but is quiet and secluded. We look forward to booking this house again in the future.

This is our second time staying at Dancing Ferns. The house is spacious, well maintained and comfortable. It is a great base for exploring the National Park and Volcano village.
We cannot recommend this property enough and would definitely come again and stay for a week! The house is surrounded by the rain forest and it is just 5 minutes away from the national park. Awesome! We felt great coming home from exploring and then relaxed in the livingroom. Enjoy your stay!

We had a great time at this property. It was perfect for the short trip to Volcanoes, and not too far from Hilo. The house is spacious and beautiful. Will definitely try to stay here again.
The property location is great if you want a base of operation to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as ot os a very short 5-10 minute drive to the park. The property was clean and very nice and updated. The furnishings were great and the cool breezes theough the house kept us nice and cool in the evening. We had everything we need to enjoy pur stay and with3 bedrooms, everyone had their own space to relax
This house was perfect for our family! It was super close to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and had all the amenities our family needed (washer/dryer, dishwasher, cooking needs). My husband enjoyed coffee walks, all three of my teens had a bed, we had a family movie night with The Princess Bride, and it was a joy to eat on the lanai. Mahalo for sharing your delightful house with us!
Large, airy, beautifully decorated home in the forest, quiet and private. The home is comfortable and well stocked.
Great birdsong. Kitchen equipped well for easy meal preparation. Very pleasant outdoor space at the home. Easy access to Volcanoes National Park with amazing hiking and unique sights. It's great to stay so close by and take advantage of the park at non-peak hours. I would highly recommend this home to friends, and hope to return myself.
We came to Volcano to hopefully see Kilauea erupt. This house was in a good spot to get to the park easily. You do have to drive down a pretty rough road to get to it, but just go slow and it’s fine. The house is very nicely decorated and we didn’t notice any musty odor (as some in Volcano do) from the rainforest location. It was very clean. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is pretty well-equipped, and we used it for making breakfast quite often. We did try to grill fish, but there was no pan for grilling it, so we opted for the grill on the stovetop, which worked well. The chorus of rainforest frogs and birds was amazing!
Dancing Ferns was a great place to stay if you want a quiet place to recharge with your family that is minutes from Volcanoes National Park and an easy drive to Hilo or Maunakea Visitor Station. We were greeted by some nice wild pigs when we arrived and heard the rainforest frogs at night and roosters in the distance during the day. No tourists or traffic to worry about. The town of Volcano is a 5 minute drive for supplies if needed. Was great to be so close to the park for two days of hiking. Easy flying in and out of Hilo too.

House location was excellent for exploring Volcano National Park. Very clean and plenty of room for 5 of us. great to have laundry as well. We did not have any cell service at the house but the wifi was good. It was rainy and chilly most of the time we were there, and the heaters are space heaters so just make sure you have one for each bedroom when you arrive. We were missing one but we contacted the company and they let us go to the adjoining property (which was not occupied) to get one that had ended up there.
