About this property
Romantic Tree Cottage in the Rainforest
No detail overlooked! A serene custom-designed studio retreat in the treetops of Volcano, Hawaii. Tree cottage includes a beautiful kitchen, spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower, private driveway, top-level lanai off the living area for viewing the unique local flora. Interior is mid-century tropical with pristine hardwood floors, hanging rattan chair for daydreams, queen-sized bed, and bistro table setting provides an intimate setting for morning coffee, or evening dinner for two.
Relax in the tranquility of the ohi'a and hapu'u trees native to this unique part of the world, while enjoying your favorite creature comforts.
The tree cottage is 300 sq. feet, custom-designed and adorned by the host/owner providing a more personal experience for the guests. Amenities such as an easy to access entrance, beautiful decor, a well-appointed kitchen, consistent hot water, electricity, fluffy towels, ceiling fan and comfy bed make a luxurious take on the treehouse experience we all dream of experiencing.
Coffee, tea, and oatmeal are also provided for morning foraging. :)
The living area has glass french doors that welcome you in to the cottage. Once inside you'll be inspired by the beautiful pitched pine ceiling, large windows and 8" sliding glass doors providing a perfect vantage into the trees. At this height you can see the colorful birds flitting from tree to tree and the clouds rolling in from the coast.
The kitchen has hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and quartz counter tops. It comes complete with a four-burner gas stove, small fridge, full-sized sink, coffee maker, and toaster oven.
The bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with pebble floor and a rain shower head for an incredible experience. The big windows, flower-shaped vessel sink, quartz counter tops, tiled floor, and fluffy bath linens provided give the bathroom the feeling of a beautiful, relaxing spa.
The outdoor garden is spotted with new, young plants but still evokes a feeling of privacy, peace, tranquility, and a change of pace from everyday life.
House water is potable and chemical-free. Piped in from the outdoor rain catchment system, the water is purified with a UV system and filtered.
The tree cottage was built by a local contractor, engaging local businesses for the materials. Shannon's hands-on management (even cleaning between guests!) and pride in ownership for the property results in a tree cottage guests can feel comfortable staying in.
*For the comfort and safety of guests, personal belongings and the property the exterior of building has surveillance monitoring.
Located in Ohia Estates, a neighborhood in Volcano, this cottage is in the mountains. Volcano Golf and Country Club and Volcano Winery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Aloha Candy Company and Akatsuka Orchid Gardens. Volcano Art Center and Gallery and Hilo Coffee Mill are also worth visiting. Take an opportunity to explore the area for outdoor excitement like hiking. Visit our Volcano travel guide

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was perfect for visiting the Volcano National Park. It literally was just a 5 minute drive to the park entrance so we were able to drive into the park on the night of our stay to see the venting from the volcano. The unit itself was beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. And it was certainly an immersive experience being in the middle of the rainforest. I would 100% recommend a stay here and would love to visit it again if we are ever back in the area.
This place was a jewel on the Hilo side ! Beautiful, well decorated, Shannon was very nice and responsive to our questions . A nice place to come home to after a day hiking on the volcanoes thanks , Marijke and Greg
Very cozy stay on the eastern side of the island. It's quite close to the park entrance and to the restaurants in the town of Volcano. We enjoyed our time here!
Peaceful and relaxing home base for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes NP
We loved our stay! The area is so quiet and we enjoyed sitting and reading on the patio beneath the house. The bed is very comfortable. Made for a great home base for our time exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Very lovely place in the middle of the nature. Very accessible and easy to get to the volcano national park
Great one night stay with spouse after long day of hiking at NP. Bungalow is private, cosey, and close to park entrance. Love the shower and sitting area downstairs
Mini kitchen with supplies. Close to Volcano National Park. Nice & secluded small space. Perfect. Only thing was outside lights downstairs didn't come on, otherwise was perfect.
Everything was great! Cleanliness, location, communication with host, etc made this an easy 5 star review. If you are a couple or a solo traveler looking to stay in Volcano, I would recommend staying here. Especially if you plan on hiking in the National Park, it’s only a quick drive away from the park entrance.
EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED! Convenient to Volcano NP. Hosted thought of everything.... space heater, dehumidifer and well outfitted kitchen. Cozy, unique property. Would definitely stay here again!
The unit is quiet and cute, and had everything we needed before we went to check out Volcanoes National Park. I would recommend it to any couple who is in the area looking for a place to sleep, make a meal and grab a shower before exploring the park.
We loved our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. The location was great as it was next to volcano national park and not to far from Hilo. It was a quiet accept for the occasional chicken. Everything was as expected and check in was easy.
All you need for a visit to the NP! Clean, comfortable, close by. Wish we could have sat is the lower level area but time didn't allow. Highly recommend!

It’s right up in the tree tops with bird songs and tree frogs! Conveniently close to the national park. Nice shower!
We were super impressed with every aspect of our stay. Everything was perfect and exactly as described/pictured. So relaxing listening to the rain and wildlife.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay near Volcanos National Park. The property is very private but with easy access to the park. We stayed 4 nights. Perfect if want to spend a few days hiking and enjoying nature. We had a few minor concerns after we checked in and Shannon was vert quick to respond. Recommend!
