Architectural delight in a rain forest
What a wonderful and unusual experience. The cottage is perfect. It was built by the owner and the design and attention to detail is amazing. It has everything you could possibly want for your stay including great coffee and breakfast items all you need is milk. The host who lives next door meets you at the cottage and is a delight to talk to and get tips for your stay. This cottage is in a rain forest and it does rain pretty much all of the time. But only at the cottage when you take the 5 min drive to the village it was dry. Great location for visiting Volcano National Park we also played golf near by and visited a winery and Orchid store nearby. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone wanting to visit the area.

A little piece of paradise in the rainforest
Wonderful cottage for two wanting to visit Volcanoes National Park. Everything from the charming walkway to the soft and cozy bed was just as described. My husband and I were charmed and informed about all the best eateries and places to see by Kathryn, who was a terrific host. Highly recommended!

Enchanting Jungle Escape
Staying in Laukapu Forest Cottage (LFC) was such a wonderful experience. The cottage is small but incredibly dreamy. You're surrounded by the Hawaiian jungle, pheasants visit the lanai in the mornings, and if you keep your eyes peeled you might spot a boar running around. The owners have been in the vacation rental business for a while and this is evident in their hospitality. It was a truly enchanting experience

This cottage stands out!
We give 5 stars in all aspects of our stay! All info was shared clearly previous to our arrival. by Peggy and Kathryn. We were greeted warmly by Kathryn. She has a great insight on how much involvement guests wish to have with their host. The quality craftmanship of the cottage, its furnishings & exterior walkways just completed in 2017 by Kenneth are seldom seen these days. Everything we needed to be comfortable was at hand. Though it was chilly & rainy for the three days, it just added to the fresh aroma and visiual appeal of the forest while we were warm & cozy inside with a nice selection of DVD music and movies as well as books. Delicious coffee & teas as well as spices & cereals are supplied. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, utensils, dishes etc. Perishables can be purchased before arrival or at the 2 small groceries just 5 inutes away in Volcano. Kathryn provides plenty of shopping information beforehand. And who can't be wowed with a box of Hawaiian chocolates on arrival! LauKapu Cottage will be our 1st choice on return or recommendation to friends. Mahalo nui loa!
