It was excellent! ##### denise Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Life-changing! Set in a large and glorious contemplative garden, the tiny cottage is masterfully furnished and equipped with everything you need and many things you didn’t realize you needed until you discovered them tucked away (plush robes, house shoes!) The linens (all towels, sheets, and blankets) are very high quality and plush and soft. The sheets are silver !! The gardens become your very own private paradise after 4:00pm and wandering around them and finding heaven in very small details will change your life! The Star of the Show is Ira with his starry night shirt and beyond gracious nature. And at last: the steps down into a private zen shower right in your cottage! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af41fbed-1f47-4f70-b83e-d7ea0bf68fe6-1747676809420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08f3242e-f8ad-48db-82dc-74b7be4b84fd-1747676970987.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e3d10101-d9d7-40dd-8824-6886681c3ce6-1747676972911.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a25d2842-6bc1-4536-b70f-6af0a8a6d1b2-1747677226959.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Logan 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great stay and place! ##### Logan Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krishna 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I loved the secret garden the owner had constructed!

Fantastic sheltered private hot tub. Thoughtful welcome note and chocolates from the owner. However, structure is more like a fancy shed than a cottage. There is a significant moisture problem in a very wet environment. A dehumidifier ran the entire time (pulling more than 30 pints of water every 6 hours) with visible mold in some areas and a musty smell overall. ##### Kimberly ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 21 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Delightful stay in Paradise The adorable cottage and delightful, whimsical garden grounds had everything we needed for a romantic and inspiring stay.

This is a tiny cabin in an artist village right outside of Volcanoes National Park. The cabin is adorable, and the host really did think of everything! I can't believe I found this gem on hotels.com! Very different from what I would expect on hotels.com, but we were so thrilled with this stay. The cabin is cozy and intimate, and it was such a special stay in a unique and special place. ##### Lindsay Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Astrid, L.A. 21 Jul 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities sehr schön verbunden mit dem Café Ono, das aber erst um 11.00 öffnet und schon um 15 Uhr schließt - also ungünstig, wenn man Touren plant; durch Regenwald toller nächtlicher Sound, aber damit auch hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit im Cottage (etwas muffelig; es gibt einen kleinen Ofen und einen elektrischen Luftentfeuchter); Frühstück wird bei Anreise im Cottage für alle Tage auf einmal hinterlegt (für drei Tage: kleines, leckeres Bananenbrot, vier Joghurts, Müsli, etwas Milch und guter Kaffee - also vorher noch etwas einkaufen gehen); es ist ungünstig, wenn man viel Gepäck dabei hat - wenig Abstellmöglichkeiten; sehr netter und aufgeschlossener Vermieter, der gern Auskunft gibt; besonders schöne Gartenanlage, die man in der Regel ab 15.30 für sich allein hat; nach Hilo braucht man nur 35 Minuten, zum Eingang Nationalpark nur 10 - also gut gelegen ##### Astrid Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The attention to detail and location are amazing.

It rains, a lot, so if you are not interested in a bit of water then this area is not for you. With that said it was a lovely cottage. Very homey. Ira does a great job making sure you have everything you need during your stay. The bathroom is spacious for such a small place and I'm a little sad we didn't get to try the hot tub. Noble the pet rabbit is friendly in his little hutch on the property. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurel C. 5 Feb 2019 #### SO relaxing! Tucked in amongst the trees, with birds singing and cooling breezes blowing, this Volcano Village bed & breakfast is a hidden gem. Just across the highway from the famous Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Volcano Artist Cottage is close to everything in Volcano Village AND the National Park, but so tucked away & private, you'd never know it. In fact, it's a historic building, on the grounds of a working restaurant & art retail store, but yet, it's so private, you'd never notice. Add in a delicious jacuzzi, and a relaxing time-out from life's responsibilities is yours for the asking. Enjoy, I know I did! ##### Laurel C.

Much better places room wise abound. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regina J 19 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cozy and Rustic Cottage This adorable cottage was a true find. If you are looking to be waited on or for a resort atmosphere, this is not for you, but for us, it was perfect. It is among the Artists Village gardens which is very Zen. Just enough space for two who like to be close. The shower area is wonderful and we are trying to figure a way to do that in our own home. There is a kitchenette with microwave, mini fridge, toaster and coffee maker, and for breakfast we were left fresh fruits, yogurts, granola and a delish mini loaf of banana bread. The owner has provided many small thoughtful amenities like spices/teas/coffee/oil, robes/slippers, CD player, small grill, WiFi, umbrellas and even flashlights and binoculars. We got there during a heavy rain storm & the small space heater was just enough to warm us up and feel comfy cozy. I admit that they need to replace the mattress as it was not overly comfortable but everything else was so suited to us, it was a minor issue. The hot tub (and I mean HOT) was so nice to have, especially after biking/hiking to see the Lava Flows. Note: the tub cover is old and heavy! I did not eat at the cafe which is right next door but did enjoy wandering thru the many small rooms of the gallery admiring all the interesting items for sale. As a guest, we rec'd 10% off which I happily accepted when I purchased a cool stone pendant as a souvenir. We did get to meet the owner, Ira, shortly before we had to leave and he is delightful. Someday we hope we can return. ##### Regina J Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 31 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent visit The owner and staff could not have been more welcoming and gracious.

Ira was a great host and has the cottage and grounds looking perfect! There was fresh fruit and banana bread awaiting us upon arrival. The volcano Artist shop was full of beautiful pieces, our only regret is that we didn?t get a chance to eat lunch at the cafe. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom , Honolulu, HI 12 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful Retreat The cottage is a rustic and cozy cabin situated in a very unique and artistic garden. The grounds, gallery and cottage itself are lessons in Feng Shui, the staff are extremely friendly and inviting, and the air is cool, crisp, and quiet. Definitely recommend this place for those who are not looking for high-end accommodations but a peaceful Zen-like experience. ##### Tom Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Michaela 19 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ein sehr cosy Cottage in den volcano bergen ##### Michaela Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Location and Value Cannot Be Beat This was a wonderful place to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Ira and the staff at the cafe and gallery are friendly and helpful but never intrusive. Especially after the gallery and cafe close for the day, the property is very peaceful and private. The fridge was well stocked, and we appreciated the abundance of coffee. We wish we could transplant the shower to our own house. It's wonderful. The hot tub is also a nice touch. It only takes about a 3-4 minute drive to get into Volcano National Park from the cottage, making it a great home base for hiking and nighttime lava viewing. There are also a few good restaurants right down the street in Volcano Village. There's private parking and a separate gate for accessing the cottage, so you can come and go easily. We really can't say anything bad about this place, and we would love to return someday. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cozy Cottage Amazing how everything we needed was contained in such a small space. It was the quietest spot we stayed while on the island. We appreciated the breakfast supplies that were waiting for us. A perfect place to land for 2 nights while we toured the volcano. The recommendations for local dinner dining were excellent. Time did not allow us to eat in the adjacent cafe, but the menu looked wonderful. And do not miss the gallery, so much beautiful art. ##### Verified traveller ---
