Lovely Hideaway

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. The hosts were communicative and took care of everything we needed. The space is well-stocked, and it was lovely getting to listen to a thunderstorm while we were happy and dry inside. I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting VNP!

This is a special place

The cottage is a large studio apartment in the jungle of the town of Volcano. It’s only 5 minutes from the entrance to Volcano NP. The cottage has special craftsman construction. There is a full kitchen, a dining nook, and a comfortable king bed. Catherine is helpful, available, and welcoming. I would stay here again!

I’d give 6 stars if I could!

This is an absolutely adorable cabin nestled in the woods. From the covered wooden walkway to the perfectly appointed and well stocked cozy cabin itself, we were ecstatic. The owners live next door and are the most wonderful people I’ve encountered. Communication could not be better. Everything from silverware to bedding to electronics are top notch. And the location, 5 minutes from the national park entrance is fantastic. Thank you Kathryn!

Volcano stay

We wanted to stay close to the volcano on the Big Island. We found this property and decided to stay here. The host is very accommodating and has a wealth of information to share about the island. She is very pleasant and responsive. We would stay here again.

Great location and very accommodating host

The cottage was perfect for our visit. We visited Volcano NP during the day and went back for sunset at 4:00AM the next day to see the lava flow. Kathryn was a great host and everything worked out perfectly.

Tropical Storm Hone

Just our luck to be stuck here during Tropical Storm Hone. This property is a jewel. With 11" inches of rain the first night it kept us safe and warm. Kathryn and Kenneth have put a lot of detail into this cottage. They're great hosts. Thanks for the stay. John and Serena.

Forest Cottage

Easy check-in, lots of communication with the host. This was exactly as I expected it to be. It was a peaceful stay in a beautifully crafted cottage. To us it felt like “glamping” with a small kitchen and washer and dryer. We slept very well with the nature sounds all around us. If we ever came back to the big island. I would definitely stay again. Thai made our day at the volcano national park very easy and convenient.

Relaxing in paradise

This rental was amazing. The design of the cottage is really cool and it’s situated back in the woods for peace and quiet. It is minutes away from the national park and great local spots for food and entertainment. Kathryn was extremely helpful in planning and communicative about what to select with our arrival. We would definitely like to stay here again the the future.

Amazing cottage and beautiful surroundings!

Beautiful, unique cottage did not disappoint. Loved the surrounding rain forest, and boy did it rain! Host was very kind and went above and beyond to answer any questions we had and even had some umbrellas and flash lights ready for use to stay dry and check out the volcano glow at night. 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

Wonderful Cottage

This custom cottage was perfect for my husband and me. We spent two nights while visiting Volcano National Park. We dined outdoors on the patio in the rainforest and it was lovely. The bed was comfortable and very much appreciated after a long day of hiking. The shower worked great with great water pressure and temperature. Our host was kind and available if we needed anything. The cottage is well stocked with amenities. Looking forward to coming back again.
