E komo mai! LA CAPANNA welcomes you to historic Volcano Village and Volcanoes National Park, designated an International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site. Our community's proximity to the Volcanoes National Park is an ideal place for those wishing to explore the uniqueness of Hawaii Island. It's a wonderful place for lovers of nature and all things creative! Hiking, cultural events, farmers markets, a winery, art galleries, shops, restaurants, and other attractions are close, providing lots of memory making choices. The owner’s grandfather, Guido Giacometti, immigrated to Hawaii to work for the local sugar company. He purchased the property in the1920’s as a weekend retreat away from the heat of Hilo and promptly dubbed it “La Capanna”, which is Italian for “the cabin”. And so began the Giacometti family’s history of hosting friends and other visitors who come to see Madame Pele’s home – Halemaumau crater on Kilauea. The third generation now enjoys and assumes kuleana (responsibility) for the care and use of the cabin. They have added modern amenities over the years, but every effort has been made to maintain its old Hawaii atmosphere. For your enjoyment, copies of early guest books are available on site containing firsthand observations of many historical events. Don’t forget to check them out during your stay! You will find La Capanna conveniently located less than an hour from Hilo just off Hwy 11 along the central road leading through our quaint little town of Volcano Village. It is within walking distance or short drive to local restaurants and attractions. The private semi-circle drive is accessible from two sides of the property and leads to the porte-cochere that still shelters the front entry. There is also a large carport adjacent to the house, so larger groups have covered parking for up to three vehicles. Two steps up lead to the double front doors that allow for the easy loading and unloading of luggage and supplies. The interior reflects traditional Hawaiian sugar era style with natural wood interior walls and vaulted beamed ceiling in the main room. Large sliding windows throughout help to keep the interior bright and allow the trade winds to cool the interior on warm days. For our cool evenings, cozy up to the wood burning stove \[wood provided\] with a cup of coffee or cocoa and popcorn and enjoy a relaxing family evening. Furnishings reflect the generations that have lived here - a mixture of family pieces, modern mission oak, old family artwork and photos. The spacious main room comfortably seats six and has a Smart TV with Roku and Apple TV for streaming of your favorites. Free Wifi is also available for your use. The large oak dining table seats six. It’s a great space for family meals or game night. Cozy up on the built-in window seats to read - we keep small collections of both adult and children’s books, periodicals, cards, games, puzzles, on hand. The kitchen is furnished with full size appliances and microwave, as well as enough tableware, cookware, and bakeware to prepare complete meals. We provide basic towels and soaps, salt, pepper, plastic wrap, and foil. The breakfast table seats four and rounds out the space nicely for those who like to hang out with a glass of wine and cook together (Hawaiian Sun for the kiddies!). Don’t forget to plan a barbeque to take advantage of the local foods from one of our Sunday or Thursday farmers markets at the nearby community center - the large, covered lanai is right outside the kitchen door and is set up with a picnic table, lawn chairs, and charcoal grill. Kids and dogs can run off steam in the fenced yard while adults check out the unique Hawaiian plants, trees, and birds. And don’t forget to make time for star gazing – the number of stars and view of the milky way are amazing! The queen bedroom with the main bath and the twin bedrooms with Jack and Jill bath are located at the opposite ends of the main area for privacy. Snuggle into beds furnished with quality linens and heated mattress pads. Turkish towels, soap, and basic bath supplies are provided for both bathrooms. Nightlights light your way throughout our home during the night as our community is dark and quiet. Relax and sleep late before exploring the park (early birds sneak out to see the sunrise over the crater). LA CAPANNA is a fully permitted and insured home with a 24-hour contact. We follow all state and local short-term vacation rental laws including the collection of transient accommodation and general excise taxes. \*Disclosure: We have a full security system in place with exterior cameras only.\* ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Outside away from house only.

You have to check the USGS cam regularly cause it can start and stop any time. So amazing to just run up the road to see spouting lava. Be sure to read the old guestbook entries they go back a hundred years.”It’s prettier here than Indiana.” HA! The wood stove was a life saver cause it can get chilly but what’s better than a cup of coffe and a wood fire? Love this place ##### John B.

We had a lovely time in Volcano and it was very close to the National Park - which was great as we went many times over our 3 days there. The space was lovely and it was so convenient to park the car right at the door with covered parking and haul our stuff in and out as it was rainy most days! Only downside was building my own fire, as we had mostly chilly days. But I figured it out pretty quick and the property had all the necessary supplies to get it going. There are space heaters in every bedroom that we ran, but for the main living room we had a fire going most days. Lovely trip and would definitely come back and stay here again! ##### Kristi B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vivek 8 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house had a nice rustic feeling. The fireplace with wood was available for us to use. The kitchen had everything we wanted. It is very close to Volcano National Park and one can even come back during day to rest for couple of hours and head back. There couple of nice restaurants/ Thai food truck nearby. The house is close to street but off the highway. So there is some vehicle noise during day but very peaceful at night. This was not a bother as we were out for most of day time. Taressa was very good at communicating throughout. ##### Vivek Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie P. 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Cabin in the Woods La Capanna is a lovely old house surrounded by vegetation but accessible to all the things to do in the Volcano area. We were two couples traveling together, so it was great to have the bedrooms and baths separated by the living area. Taressa was immediately responsive, when we contacted her about a couple of questions we had. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with pots & pans and dishes. Guests do need to bring most cooking basics like olive oil etc. The wood-burning fireplace is lovely, and it made for warm and cozy evenings. The main part of the house is chilly though, so warm clothes are required when the fire isn't lit. We all had a wonderful stay and we highly recommend this property! ##### Stephanie P.

The historic cabin is in a fantastic location in Volcano town right near the Kilauea Lodge with its fantastic restaurant and the Swap Meet at the community center, and a quick and easy drive to the best of Volcano National Park. Even though it is so close to everything Volcano has to offer, the property feels very private with lots of native plants and trees. We enjoyed watching all the birds with our morning coffees We had an added bonus of visiting during an eruption period and got to see the largest eruption in decades. Since the cabin was so close to the park, we went back to watch the eruption 5 times in the 28 hour eruption period, glad for the convenience of the cabin. It was so exciting! The cabin was well laid out, with 3 nice private bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with an adorable claw-foot soaking tub!), a well-stocked kitchen, and multiple eating areas (small table in the kitchen, larger dining table, and a covered outdoor picnic table). The temperatures in Volcano do get cold and being a historic cabin, it has the traditional Hawaiian single wall (uninsulated) construction with no central heating, but the wood stove, space heaters, plentiful blankets, and heated mattress pads kept us nice and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the comfortable, welcoming, peaceful and quiet cabin. Since we live on nearby Oahu, we are hoping to come back again soon! Mahalo for sharing your beautiful retreat with us! ##### Keri P.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel P. 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We love staying here (it’s our third time). It is so neat to spend a few days in a house that is a piece of Hawaii’s history itself and being immersed in this amazing natural environment. And the volcano’s final morning pyrotechnics were welcome and amazing.It’s an historic wooden house in excellent condition and all the necessities for sleeping, cooking, and watching Kilauea streaming on the tv were in great shape. Easy to take care of (and to clean up on the way out). Prompt communication with the host before and after the visit. We’ll come again. Mahalo. ![A truly excellent wood stove!
