Overall it was a good spot for one night. Super clean with nice amenities. However, to check in you have to arrive within a certain time and pick up and return the key at the True Value a short drive away. No potable water, but they provided a jug of bottled water. We arrived at the end of check-in time frame and it was rainy and foggy, so finding the checkin spot was challenging. TV is in a little sitting room. We didn’t shower because when you first turn on the water in the basin it was bluish. Not sure what that was all about. In the morning you can easily hear your neighbors in adjacent rooms.

We stayed just one night and it met our needs given how few lodging options are in Volcano. We run and Airbnb, my suggestion is to purchase coded locks and make check-in simple and fix the water situation.

The lady at check-in at the Tru-Value was very helpful. The remoteness of the property was concening at first but we walked around the surrounding area and that made us feel better about the property location.

Staff at check in was courteous but it was overpriced for what it was. The place was tidy but the water out of the faucets wasn’t safe to drink, and though they provided drinking water it was not ideal. There were more beds than expected but the walls were pretty thin. Even though there were dehumidifiers running, it was pretty damp feeling. It wasn’t exactly the cozy cabin I was hoping for, and at this price I expected a bit better.

The location is perfect for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Aside from the restaurants at the Volcano House in the park, there are good nearby food options in the village. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful. The room (a suite, actually) was clean and comfortable, with TV and wi-fi, in woodsy garden surroundings that featured a family of pheasants. The shower stall was tiny, which could be an issue for very large guests.

A soothing spot in the woods

After the noise, craziness, and heat of Waikiki, this was a welcome relief. We were in Wolfie 3, one of 4 units nestled in the trees and the sounds of the Coqui frogs. The unit provides plenty of room for two with a separate bedroom, bath, and sitting room. A great location to be near the volcano. The local tap water isn't potable, but high quality bottled water is provided. A soothing spot. I'm bad at directions so had difficulty finding the check in place (beyond the hardware store) as well as the unit itself.

Peaceful, comfortable suites in montane forest

Very quiet setting. We stayed in the Wolfie Suites, which were very clean and had a nice sitting room in addition to the bedroom. Very comfortable beds. There are no staff on the premises and you have to check in at a store which is a few minutes drive away. They prefer to know in advance exactly what time you expect to arrive for check in. Location only a mile from the park entrance was great.

Everything about the property itself was great! Instructions were clear and the lodge was a nice set up with ambient views of the forest. Staff who checked us in and out were also welcoming and friendly. One thing that was concerning were the zionists flags in the nearby area, so safety was in question. Those flags symbolize the support and complacency of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. If the property owners and management don’t see it as a problem, I would not stay there again and let others know too.

Great location for accessing Volcano National Park and related attractions. Room was quiet/secluded. Check-in ends at 5:30pm so we had to make alternative arrangements to get room access. It was fine. However, nowhere in the booking is it mentioned that water is non-potable. Maybe that's common in the area but it seems like an important detail. Bathroom needs some maintenance.

Pros- The area was beautiful and the unit was clean.
Cons-unit was cold- was 50 degrees at night- they did have a propane heater but wondered if it was installed correctly. The units smoke detector in the room with the heater was missing off the ceiling- wires hanging and the detector in the bedroom kept beeping when the heater was in use. I didn’t want to die or carbon monoxide so we just were cold all night. Also the unit has non potable water- if I had known this ahead of time I would have brought water- they had a disposable gallon jug of water there but it wasn’t sealed/new and I didn’t feel comfortable using it. Also the people checking us in and out at the hardware store were polite there was no number to call if you had a problem.

I stayed two nights in Wolfie One. It was like a private cabin in a tropical forest. It is one of four units in a single building each unit having one corner of the building. There is a parking space, a nice, covered porch outside the entry, then a living room, a bedroom and a bath. In the living room there is a small refrigerator, a coffee maker but no microwave. There is a TV and DVD player. Do read the small instruction card to learn how to turn on the cable box and the TV.

The water is NOT potable but a jug of drinkable water is provided. I had to keep the bedroom door closed to keep the smoke detector quiet. The check-in desk is at the nearby but separate Ace Hardware store which is unusual but workable. I had breakfast at the nearby Kilauea Lodge; highly recommended. I also enjoyed Ohelo Cafe for lunch.

We were in Hilo visiting family and decided to stay here due to its previous reviews.
When we first enter the cabin, we immediately were hit with a musty odor.
Upon further inspection, we noticed areas in the kitchen that had food. The toaster had crumbs, and the sink had something in it.
The towels were damp due to the interior humidity. The rooms were dusty.
Some of the positives, the staff were nice and friendly, the water was hot, the cabin location was quiet and beautiful.

Positives: located two miles outside Volcanoes Nat’l Park, very peaceful, bed is small but comfortable, was reasonably clean, and the staff was super friendly. They left a nice little basket with a couple of bananas, etc. Negatives: aside from a newer frig, everything else seems to be from the 70’s and not in a cool retro way—in a falling apart, worn out way. Dish towels and dishes were old, matted, sticky. The musty, mildew smell was powerful. Was overpriced relative to its condition; glad we had it booked for just one night.

You are paying for location and access to the National Park. We arrived after dark having discovered that checkin was a two hour window that with car rental collection in Kona, which was a farce, made it impossible to achieve. The lodge we were staying in was very difficult to find, my daughters have completed many orienteering courses in their late teens and it took us nearly an hour to find. Up and down various roads with multiple obstacles in the rain, eventually we arrived and everyone was very uncomfortable in the environment. We had two lodges booked but all stayed together for safety as we felt very exposed. When we awoke the next morning it was a stunningly beautiful, tranquil spot in a rain forest on the edge of the volcano park and we all felt a bit stupid for how we felt the night before. The accommodation is very basic and doesn’t reflect the price paid but the location was fantastic in day light. We were in the park before 8am and did the whole park by 2pm so we achieved what we wanted from staying here, probably would stay further out in Hilo if doing it again though?

Night in the woods

The cabin was perfect for a night at the volcano and spending so time in a quiet surrounding with the family. The cabin is huge and great setup. Heating the cabin with the fireplace is a challenge, first to turn it on, but mostly because the heat really strikes the second floor.
Overall I would have loved to stay one more night.
To make the experience even better, bring table games for the family to enjoy.

This is my second time staying. Property is good, very convenient if you are visiting the park. This time the cleanliness was a little issue. These cabins are very moist so they have dehumidifiers provided. When I walked into our cabin it wasn’t running and smelled very damp. The couch had lots of mold in the cracks as well as the pillows. There was also urine left in our toilet. Other than those issues, stay was good, fresh water and fruits provided.

Would not stay here!

Would not recommend at all.

When we arrived the house smelled like mildew. It stated there were dehumidifiers that would be running, they were not. Of the 2 provided only one actually worked.

Within an hour of being there, the propane fireplace ran out of propane. And, when we tried to use the 2 space heaters provided (at the same time) they kept tripping the breaker. When I attempted to contact someone there was no emergency number listed on the paper work or online at all!

The beds were clean, but super uncomfortable. You could feel every spring and hear it creak whenever you moved. Blankets were mismatched and super dated.

There were cobwebs in the shower. When I was showering the water just shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Since it's a rainwater catchment system I assume it ran out?!

Terrible rental, especially at $400 for the night.

We stayed at the Lava Lodge Jade house. It was a lovely abode surround by the sounds of nature. The house was clean and well kept and offered the seeming seclusion of being deep in a rainforest jungle. It was an amazing place to stay. Highly recommend.

The check in was at the Tru Value store nearby which I thought was different. The room we had was clean. It included a bowl of mixed fruit and muffins. It also had a 3 gallon jug of purified water that was filled almost daily. Due to the altitude, it rained every day we were here. Not good for us since we vacationed in Hawaii for the sun! The good thing is that it was about a mile from the entrance to Volcano Natl. Park which we visited twice. The bad is that it’s about 40 minutes from Hilo which we spend almost every day so lots of driving and gas fill ups. Our housekeeper Norma Jean was great though!! Very attentive and respectful!! All in all it was a nice stay but next time I’ll research the weather before reserving my next stay.

We lived in Wolfie Suite-1 which is a pleasant cozy unit with a separate living room. It's 7 mins drive from the entrance of Volcano National Park, which made it very convenient for us to do multiple visits in a day. Would definitely recommend staying there!

Staff was super friendly. The room was clean and neatly decorated. They were considerate and proved us a snack and was generous with the coffee (which u don’t see often) I would return with my family on future trips and definitely recommend this place.

This place is a scam. We booked their biggest cabin right before the volcano erupted (December 2020) since the rate was reasonable at the time. The volcano erupted right before we were supposed to stay there. When we arrived we were given a MUCH smaller and inferior cabin which was listed twice cheaper when we were booking. On top of everything the cabin wasn’t properly cleaned and the sheets were covered with yellow dirty smelly stains. When we complained we were told that it was the only cabin available and the cabin we booked was “accidently” taken by someone else. However when we looked at availability online the cabin we booked for two days was listed as available for the next day at much higher rate that we originally booked it. Apparently they decided to put the cabin back on the market at much higher rate because the demand sky rocketed due to eruption. We ended up staying in the tiny smelly cabin they gave us for the first night and woke up covered with bed bug bites. After lots of complaining they agreed to move us to the cabin we actually booked for the second night and I almost believed that they made an honest mistake... oh I was mistaken! Instead of apologizing for double selling the cabin They tried to charge us additional $145 for staying in more expensive cabin for the second night even though that was the cabin listed on our reservation. This was literally the worst hotel experience I had in my life (and I travel a lot)

The suite we had was very clean, had lots of storage space and the bed was very comfortable. Of course we hiked nearly 7 miles that day so sleep came easily. The surrounding area was magical, and we enjoyed the Thai food at the restaurant nearby. They also provided a delicious fruit basket we had for breakfast.

Lots of fireworks for about 45 minutes around midnight. I came here to avoid the noise but no luck. Cottage rustic and cute. One of those 2 inch foam mattress covers would go a long way to soften the hard springs feel of the beds.

Very nice cottage.

Very cute and homey cottage. Great place to relax and getaway from it all. Well equipped and clean. Really the only complaint was one bed was too hard and one too soft and the couches are very uncomfortable. Would definitely stay here again despite the bed and couch.

We couldn’t find the property on gps because check in is at the True Value Hardware. The propane tank was the view out our window. Construction was being done on a building that was our view off the porch with about 5 toilets on the porch of the building.

The worst in all my extensive travelling

Way overpriced and terrible. Horrible owner treats guests and his employees like dirt on the sole of his shoe. They try to squeeze every penny out of you. Owner will go out of his way to screw you in every way. \"Breakfast\" that comes with it is only and specifically two pieces of rotten fruit and $0.49 pre-packaged crap pastry. I paid for a \"suite\" (what a joke!) with a kitchen and coffee maker. They will provide Maxwell House coffee, but don't ask for more sugar packets. You will get exactly 4 sugar teaspoon-size sugar packets per day but only if you ask nicely several times. Vit no more than 4! The pillows are stained and full of dust and stink. The box spring is naked with no bed skirt or cover of any kind. The rugs are dirty and frayed, and the just-inside-the-door mat has no grip to it so I continually almost broke my neck until i put it away for me stay. The toaster is clogged with trash and so rusty inside that you may get Tetnus

Easy access to Volcano National Park

Cabin was wonderful, shower is a bit small and showerhead almost not adjustable, but otherwise excellent stay. Very close to the Volcano National Park, which was why we stayed here. Everyday banana bread and some fruit, this was much appreciated. There are shops & restaurants, but not that many. Make sure to arrive on time to make your check-in hassle free and you can navigate to the cabin easily.
