Volcano Eco Cabin & Eco Lodge

This is a beautiful property about 20 minutes from the park. It is spacious, beautifully built and very comfortable- awesome front porch and cozy bed. The hosts were incredibly nice people, very easy to communicate with, and flexible with our crazy schedule, which we really appreciated! We cooked most of our food, and managed with the smaller refrigerator, which is common for off-grid homes. For folks who want to cook - - here is a bit more info. I rediscovered the joy of cooking with cast iron pans and a bit of oil- works well for toast, fried eggs and cooking in general! Just be prepared to cook without a microwave or toaster. We love the Fern Forest area because it retains much of the Island’s wild natural landscape, and the frogs lull one to sleep. We’ve stayed in lots of places near the volcano and this one is a favorite. Hope to be back again! Thank you Andrew & Agi!

Really no complaints. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Lodge- so relaxing. A few suggestions to augment the current kitchen would be the addition of a cooler to store drinks in and another saucepan with a lid.

The unit is in a lovely setting surrounded by forest. It is very peaceful. The bed was very comfortable. The owners made the most of the space, including a full kitchen that they set up on the lanai.

The roads leading to the EcoLodge are very rough and full of huge potholes. Rather dangerous if you arrive at night.

The cabin is located in a quiet rural area near Volcanoes NP. Out of the crowds, but only 20 minutes to the park and 15 to the village of Volcano. The hosts are terrific and very accommodating. The cabin itself is small but cosy and well laid out. We loved listening to the frogs singing in the evening and the birds first thing in the morning. Breakfast outside on the deck was extra special….and there are throw blankets and bathrobes if there’s a chill in the morning.

Really nothing. Some guests might not like the gravel backroads, but this is Hawaii.

Very comfortable with all the basics. If you are considering staying here be sure to read the description carefully. It is very compact! However, it is cute, comfortable, and has everything needed. The dresser handles came off the dresser during our stay. Hope they were repaired!

The crowing "jungle fowl" (aka chickens). They are, though, now ubiquitous and there is little that can be done about them. It is also a bit of a drive too Volcano Village and the park on very rutted dirt roads. Again, not a criticism, but be aware.
