This place was truly magical. It's the perfect romantic getaway. It was so nice to come back to after exploring the national park all day. I've never been to a place where you think about it everyday. Perfect!!!!!

We (2 adults, 2 teenagers) stayed in the Bamboo Guest House the first 3 nights of our one week vacation. Before making reservations we had all four researched options for where to stay, and the kids in particular were enchanted with the idea of staying a place like this. Stepping into the cottage we were not disappointed at all. We... More

We absolutely enjoyed our charming stay in the Sanctuary, the smallest of the cottages. We are both tall and big and the Sanctuary was plenty big for us. Cedar and glass are everwhere in this beautiful place, surrounded by our own private rainforest. I felt like we were in the Julia Roberts' "Eat, Pray, Live" movie. Peter and Kathleen have... More

The Volcano Rainforest Retreat is ecotourism at its finest. The tranquil, natural setting was the perfect lodging while we hiked in the national park. Kathleen and Peter are the perfect hosts, allowing guests ample privacy, and their attention to detail is superb. You will feel up close and personal with the rain forest in the awesome comfort of the accommodations.... More

Cottage was tops & very small details were attended to. Great warm and comfortable place, beautiful rain forests surround each private cabin. Breakfast in the room is thoughtfully prepared and good. The owners are very caring folks of there place and have put a lot of their personal spirituality into designing and furnishing it. It was hard to take full... More

This is a small oasis in the middle of the rainforest. We stayed in the forest house, a beautiful room with some quirky characteristics, such as no real bathroom sink and mirror. But it is gorgeously appointed and so cozy. The inn keeper was super helpful in recommending food and activities off the bat. The tub was SO romantic and... More

This is a special little place that truly feels away from it all. It is a short drive (like 3 minutes) to Volcano Village, but when you are on the grounds of VRR, it really feels like Eden. Our room was well-appointed, the breakfast was generous, and soaking in the soaking tub outside at night was so memorable. The owners... More

This was unquestionably the loveliest place we have ever stayed. Nestled in the green serenity of the tropical forest, this is a Hawaiian oasis away from the world. The attention to detail was amazing: soft cozy robes, a fireplace for cool nights, beautifully tasteful architecture and décor, a hot tub amid the dripping palms, a skylight to watch the stars...

My husband and I recently stayed here for 5 nights. We spent the first half of our visit on the other side of the island and finished with 5 nights on this side of the island. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax and escape, then this is the place for you. We stayed in the Bamboo... More

We stayed for two nights in the Forest House and it was really special. Nothing like waking up and all you see is jungle around you. I felt like I was on a movie set. The owner's attention to detail is amazing. It really feels like home away from home while you are there. The only thing I would have... More
