10.0 / 10.0
Lovely cottage exactly as pictured in a tropical setting. Gated and right off the main road so no driving in the dark in the jungle. Close to VNP. Heater available for those chilly nights. Welcoming water in refrigerator, coffee pods and menus of the local restaurants to view. We stayed 5 nights and never ate at the same place. Extra blankets, towels and plenty of kitchen housewares. We cooked in one evening. The hosts live next door and were friendly and helpful.

Recommend this stay if desiring somewhere close to the volcano national park. It was a cute cottage in the rainforest. The couple owner met us to welcome our stay.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay in a beautiful area near the Volcano. So close to the volcano and Puna as well as Hilo. All the amenities needed and the hosts, Elaine and Carter were very helpful. Would stay again!

We had a wonderful and memorable stay. Elaine and Carter were wonderful to meet, and were great to communicate with beforehand. The location is really a special spot, we loved hearing the tree frogs at night, and it was so easy to get into Volcano village to explore the market and to go the to national park for the day. Thank you for having us and for providing such a wonderful place.

The hosts were friendly and incredibly helpful, but not intrusive and respectful of our space. Perfect location for my husband and I to explore the park (~5 minutes away) and Hilo. The location is ideal to access Volcanoes National Park and great dining options when we wanted to eat out. We woke to sunshine and bird song each day, and the pleasant peep of insects at night. Comfortable beds, up to date kitchen and bath. Incredible value!

We had a very comfortable stay for 4 days in this cozy cottage. The owners gave superbly detailed instructions and every little thing seemed to have thought put into it. It's very peaceful and gives one easy access to everything from Hilo to Punalu'U Black Sand beach. Get supplies from a grocery store in Hilo or Kona before coming in as local stores simply won't do. The orchid nursery next door is pretty amazing.

We stayed at Fern Cottage for 3 days and had the loveliest time! Our hosts had thought of every amenity, including coffee and a local favorite, macadamia nuts! The cottage itself was furnished well -- bed was comfortable and we didn't lack for anything! The location could not have been more convenient as it was just minutes away from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park as well as Volcano Village which had restaurants and a general store. Carter and Elaine are very knowledgeable about the area and have lots of recommendations for things to do, see and eat. We would not hesitate to recommend Fern Cottage to friends and hope to make our way back to the Big Island sometime soon! Mahalo nui loa!

This is the perfect place to stay to go exploring in Volcanoes National Park. We stayed two nights and were able to get to the park nice and early to start our hike through the K��lauea Iki Crater. We finished up just before the rain started. It's close enough that we could stop back to the cottage for lunch, and we even drove back into the park again after 10p to see the glow of the lava lake Pu��u ����.
Elaine and Carter (the owners) thought of everything. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, and a perfect getaway. We will be back.

We had an amazing time at this little slice of awesome. It's close enough to Volcano National Park that there was plenty of time to see and do everything we wanted to within the park. And when an epic storm blew through and knocked out our power the owners brought us cookies and organised for us to stay our final night in another place nearby.
