Volcano Hideaways

The perfect spot for visiting Volcano National Park! My girlfriend and I stayed in the 'Maid's Cottage' for a couple of nights. Out of 6 different hotels during our trip to Maui and the Big Island, there was no doubt that this was the most comfortable and relaxing of them all. The place is spacious yet cozy, and there's a great hot tub that's private to your room while you stay. I slept very well here. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked, which is great since there aren't a lot of dining options in the town (and a bunch of them were unexpectedly closed while we were there) — stopping by Safeway or Foodland for groceries to cook a few meals is highly recommended. Also, Todd and Olivia were such kind and thoughtful hosts. The morning of our check out, Kīlauea started erupting; my girlfriend and I happened to check the webcam just after it started when we woke up, so the 5-minute drive into the park meant we had a pretty private viewing, which was the highlight of our trip. When we got back to the room later that morning to check out, Olivia came by to make sure we'd gotten a chance to see the eruption, which was really considerate! If I ever get to return to Volcano NP (which I sure hope I will), I'll absolutely stay here again.

Our second year for an extended stay at Volcano Hideaways. Wonderful time with wonderful hosts. Todd and Jillian could not have made our time any better. Their properties are excellently maintained, perfectly located near Volcano National Park, and nestled in a gorgeous rainforest. Interiors of the two places we have rented have been beautifully decorated, thematically centered, and well-equipped. Volcano, at 4000 ft. above sea level, can be cool at times, but well-placed gas fireplace/stove kept us warm on chilly mornings and evenings. Beds were comfortable and duvets kept us cozy. We've been to the islands several times, and few things add more to our trips than excellent accommodations and caring hosts. Thanks for being at the top of our list!

When we were planning a visit to Hawaii Volcanos National Park with friends, I was pleased to see that Volcano Hideaways was under the same ownership as when we stayed at the Maid’s Quarters in 1999. This time we stayed in Haunani House, which was comfortable for four adults, with a roomy living room/dining area and a kitchen with all the essentials. The gas fireplace took the chill off the cool nights - imagine being cold in Hawaii. The house is tucked in a quiet lane in the rain forest, minutes from the park entrance. Todd, who hadn’t changed that much in 26 years, lives next door and had advice on hiking and the best place to view the current eruption.

We booked Oma's Hideaway and Haunani House for a 2-night stay with 8 friends. It's a perfect location, on a quiet private road, near some restaurants and groceries, and just two minutes from the National Park entrance. Todd welcomed us with lots of great information and we immediately felt at home. ||||The owners have done superb work to make these houses comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the gas fireplace, as it was chilly in February. Both houses are decorated with great attention to detail, and Todd has added wonderful architectural touches to Haunana. It's a bargain for these wonderful homes in the rainforest. I would not hesitate to book again.

Lovely lovely visit. I highly recommend booking with Volcano Hideaways. Todd, was a wonderful host. Very communicative and offered wonderful suggestions. The house (Oma's) was PERFECT for our family of five. Comfortable, lots of blankets, and even peppermint tea for after dinner. The pillows on the king bed could have had a bit more filling, but honestly such a magical stay. One of Todd's suggestions was a wonderful Farmers Market on Sunday's at Cooper Center, and I highly recommend it as well. If I'm ever lucky enough to make my way back to this island, I would certainly book here again! Mahalo Volcano Hideaways!

We rented Oma's Hideaway, and it's truly quite a magical tropical hideaway. It's a really cosy homely space, there's a lot of attention to detail, which is lovely, and all interactions with the owner Todd were simple and super-pleasant. The upstairs bedroom loft has the most comfortable bed ever! The chalet doesn't have an outside space as such, but then again it rained the entire time we were there (it is the rainforest, after all), so we didn't miss that - other than not being able to dry the wet stuff. Volcano itself isn't a very happening place; we found it difficult to find food, so stop at a supermarket in Hilo or Kona before you come up.

We stayed for five nights in the Maid's Quarters, a cute one-bedroom one-bathroom house just five minutes from Volcanoes National Park. It was clean, with everything we needed for our stay, including a full kitchen (though note that the fridge is on the smaller side). The owners were nice, and handled the one issue we experienced very well. Unfortunately, we took one star off because we found that without central heat, the wood stove heater just couldn't keep us warm enough. But, if you're not as sensitive to cold as we are, that may not be an issue.

Todd and Jillian have provided a lovely 3 bedroom house with comfortable beds and duvets, 1 bedroom with ensuite and another bathroom off the corridor for the other 2 bedrooms, a lovely full kitchen, generous dining table and living room area with gas fireplace, and washer/dryer. The location is convenient to the village shops & restaurants and to the part entrance. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed having time to explore the park. This was our 3rd visit to Volcanoes and each trip has been enjoyable and full of discoveries.||||Thank you for a very comfortable stay.
