About this property

Deluxe, Private Sanctuary at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!

'Volcano Mist Cottage is the perfect combination of camping out and 5-Star Hotel accommodations' (from our guestbook). This deluxe, personal and very private eco-resort is nestled in the Kilauea Forest Preserve adjacent to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - an International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Enjoy the very best of Volcano Village in our romantic one bedroom hideaway. Celebrate nature in the outdoor Temple Bath or Forestside Jacuzzi which invites you to soak or shower, enveloped by volcano mists, vibrant tree ferns, orchids and ginger blossoms. Sleep on a cloud with luxury multi-layered bedding providing the ultimate in comfort. Treat yourself to this one of a kind experience at the summit of Kilauea - the world's most active volcano. Experience life in Volcano Village, a unique arts and science community at 4,000 ft elevation next to the National Park. Watch the eruptions at the summit or lava flowing into the sea. Explore amazing lava tubes or hike miles of highland rainforest trails and rugged lavascapes.

'This is truly one of the most beautiful and tranquil places we have ever been, and we've been all over the world...the vivid memories will last a lifetime. We will never forget taking an outdoor shower in the middle of a fern forest as the sun dappled thru the lush greenery. We will never forget the incredibly beautiful pheasants who practically ate out of our hands, and we will never forget this beautiful place' (from our guestbook).

'This should sum it up - we have every real estate brochure we could find! This is the most perfect house in the most perfect setting...every detail is perfect! It was the perfect place to begin our honeymoon!' (from our guestbook).

Magical retreat

Volcano Mist Cottage is a very special place! Janet and Paul have created a beautiful retreat and thought of every detail. Instructions for being good guests were easy to follow and the information left for finding nearby fun and adventure was thorough. The spirit of the place is relaxing and joyful! We loved our experience here and hope to return!!

Romantic, Cozy Cabin

We stayed in this beautiful home for a week. It was the perfect getaway! The garden is breathtaking, the outdoor shower and hot tub was amazing! The tranquility, beauty, and privacy was incredible. This is our second trip to Volcano because we fell in love with this area the first time. We will come back and will stay in this house again.

Sanctuary!

This cottage is truly a sanctuary. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the beauty and tranquility of this property. The cottage itself is beautifully built and appointed. The bed was very comfortable and it was so lovely to wake up every morning to the tropical surroundings right outside the large windows. The sound of the light rain and birds chirping was very relaxing. My very favorite part of the day was drinking my coffee on the lenai and relaxing while surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the forest. My husband’s favorite part was relaxing in the hot tub after a day of hiking in Hawaii Volcanos National Park, and our toddler found the property to be loaded with interesting discoveries. We would be thrilled to stay here again in the future.

Exceptional!

We loved our stay at this amazing cottage! Just driving down the dead-end street for the first time was magical! So private and peaceful! Attention to detail (bathrobes, umbrellas, perishable practical food items, water cooler, etc.), lovely living spaces in and out, and the beautiful gardens - we were so comfortable here! Sitting in the hot tub was a wonderful way to end our days of hiking at the park (which was just a short drive away). We had one question and Scott returned our call within minutes. Owners Paul and Janet also corresponded regularly once we booked. We hope to return to Volcano Mist! Thank you!

Rainforest oasis

This was the most beautiful place, just like out of a movie. So peaceful and relaxing. We absolutely loved every bit of this place. The outdoor shower and hot tub were breathtaking as well as just sitting outside listening to the rain and birds and watching the scenery. The hosts were friendly and let us check in early and the property manager was prompt and extremely nice, we definitely can’t wait to stay again!!

Our Stay at the Volcano Mist Cottage was outstanding. The check in process was seemless & the property managers were very accommodating with any questions about the property or area. We loved being in a secluded & quiet area after a busy day sightseeing. We highly recommend this property....this is truly a destination paradise!!!

Cozy, romantic hideaway

Our stay was like a dream! Lush forest and gardens surround the house. We could hear nothing but birds, breeze through the trees, and sometimes the sound of raindrops. We both tried the outdoor shower, and now I want one in my backyard! The hosts left us a gift of fresh fruit, which was very appreciated! They thought of every possible need, from bathrobes to double sets of towels on a warming rack, not to mention an air purifier if we ever caught a whiff of volcanic smog aka “vog”—but we didn’t. We spent most of our time at Volcano National Park (which is about five minutes away) but I would have liked another day or two to spend time in front of one of the fire places with a book and a cup of tea. When we stay in Volcano again (and there will be a next time!) I’ll insist on a reservation at Volcano Mist!

Rainforest Perfection

Just as advertised. Quiet, (well, there were the Coquí serenades each evening) secluded retreat to nature while having just about anything you can possibly need to stay at Volcano NP. The binoculars and flashlights were an unexpected treat for our nighttime treks to the park for lava viewing. When I say well stocked, I don't think I could have asked for something that wasn't already conveniently stashed somewhere in the unit. This was the first time we stayed on that side of the island and noticed on arrival there were 2 fireplaces but no A/C, prompting a bit of panic at first. That was until evening rolled around and we realized why! Who needs A/C when the temp is in the 60s? Everything about this place is exactly what you would want for an adult get-a-way! Highly recommended.

Heaven in Hawaii

This place was truly amazing- my husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon! It was the perfect jumping off point to explore Volcano and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and an even better place to come home to after a long day of hiking… especially with the romantic and calming hot tub. We had the best time and 10/10 would recommend to others!

It came with everything one could need, and more. It was everything promised and more. The hosts have thought of everything. I was surprised at their attention to detail at every turn. They provided items for my first breakfast, a washer and dryer and laundry soap, every possible kitchen implement, a cooler, backpack, yoga mat, beautiful appliances, information about the area, a book about the history of this special property, beautiful linens. There are indoor and outdoor spaces in which to relax and enjoy the beauty of this nurturing and healing spot.

Dream Vacation!

Where do I even begin. This cottage is nothing but magical. My husband and I were blown away by the beauty of this perfect stay. Janet and Paul were delightful hosts and showered us with fresh fruit, homemade sweets, and such thoughtful gifts to celebrate our anniversary. This cottage has everything and the location is so close to the Volcano National Park. I mean, it’s right in the back yard! How much closer can you get?! The hot tub was SO awesome to soak in after hiking and so nice because it’s gets chilly at night. Who knew it could be chilly in Hawaii?! Thank you Janet and Paul for your wonderful hospitality and your beautiful cottage you built from scratch. You made our trip! Mahalo!!

Perfect Private Intimate Retreat

This home was so amazing! I wish we could have spent an entire week there. It's at the end of a rustic road and the photos simply don't do it enough justice. You can't see any other homes from the property and I believe it butts up to the National Park. We loved sitting outside under the covered porch listening to the misty rain. The private jacuzzi is in amazing condition and impeccably clean! It's under a great gazebo which has shades should you want to close it in for more privacy. However, since it's surrounded by jungle, it's already incredibly private. We enjoyed soaking in it each night after a day of adventures. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the entire home has huge windows throughout. We loved falling asleep with the windows open listening to the 'jungle' sounds. The kitchen was very nice and had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking this home again if we make it back to the Big Island.
