Kamaka Cottage at Volcano- A Rainforest Hideaway

The Kamaka Cottage in Volcano is nestled inside the quaint rainforest town of Volcano, surrounded by three acres of ohia forest and located just 2.5 miles from the entrance of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. This charming cottage rental offers a newly renovated space with a retro-modern design and an open floor plan.

A cozy studio cottage rental with an open floor plan kitchen, dining room, and living room serves as your home base for exploring Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and the Kalapana Coast of the Big Island.

The Kamaka Cottage accommodates up to two persons with a queen-size bed. The kitchenette is equipped with a mini fridge, toaster oven, microwave, griddle, two-burner hot plate, pots and pans, Keurig/drip coffee maker, and fresh water dispenser. Complimentary wireless internet and parking just outside your front door reflect the thoughtful touches you expect from top Hawaii vacation rentals.

Convenient, free parking is available next to the cottage once you enter the private gate. Self check-in is available, or the host can meet you if requested. An easy-access driveway through the open gate takes you directly to the main front door.

On-site hosts live nearby to assist when needed, ensuring this family-friendly Hawaii rental feels both personal and private.

Kamaka Cottage is one of the most inviting Big Island vacation rentals, located in the quaint rainforest town of Volcano Village—adjacent to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. The town offers a farmers market and a cozy store where you can shop, grab a bite, and warm up with coffee or hot chocolate on the porch while watching the mist.

We are 35 minutes from the larger town of Hilo, which has grocery stores and more shopping options. Additionally, we are 30 minutes from Papakōlea Beach, one of only four green sand beaches in the world and home to many sea turtles.

The cottage is located behind our main house. There will be a host on-site during your stay for any issues that need immediate attention and to assist with check-in/check-out if needed.

During winter months, at about 3,720 ft (1,134 m) elevation, temperatures can dip below 45 °F (7 °C), so guests can enjoy the infrared heater—and should bring both warm jackets and bathing suits.

Residents of Volcano Village actively participate in keeping exterior lighting low, so the only streetlights in the village are at the highway, where Wright Road and Haunani Road begin and go up through the village. Consequently, the roads are dark at night.

The State of Hawai'i has two taxes that affect visitors to the islands: the Transient Accommodations Tax and the General Excise Tax. The taxes collected by the host from guests for lodging stays total 14.96% during 2020.
