Kilauea Cottage – A Rainforest Retreat in Volcano, Hawai‘i


10/10 Excellent
Shelley P.

Exceeded expectations
When we walked in the door we instantly felt spoiled! This place was very clean and cozy and fit our family and needs perfectly! The town of volcano is so quaint and makes it easy to access the southern parts of the big island. This house was not to far from the main highway and we enjoyed our stay there. The laundry machines, showers, and cookware were great! Thanks for hosting us and our tribe!

Nestled in the heart of Volcano’s lush rainforest, Kilauea Cottage offers a secluded and private getaway on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Surrounded by towering ohia trees, vibrant ferns, and the soothing sounds of nature, this cozy retreat is designed for travelers who want to escape the hustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the serenity of the Hawaiian rainforest.

The home features 2 comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a versatile loft space, making it perfect for couples, families, or a small group of friends. A full kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals, while the warm glow of the gas fireplace invites you to unwind after a day of exploring. Step outside to the spacious lanai and enjoy your morning coffee in complete privacy, accompanied by birdsong and the cool mountain air.

Guests often describe their stay as peaceful, restorative, and inspiring. Many love the jungle-like setting, the sense of isolation and tranquility, and the convenience of being only 5 minutes from Volcano Village. Whether you’re visiting Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, hiking through lava fields, or simply seeking a quiet place to recharge, Kilauea Cottage offers the best of both worlds—serenity and seclusion, with easy access to dining, art galleries, and local attractions.

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by nature, Kilauea Cottage is the perfect place to call home during your stay in Volcano.

Note:
◆ Security camera on the front porch, takes snapshots, no audio. No noise decibel monitor.
◆ The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote and benign tropical rainforests in the world. Nevertheless, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast.
