Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii

Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii is a fantastic place to stay and visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park just a few minutes drive from our house. Our main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, large dining area, large living area with SMART TV, Free WiFi, and a large covered lanai (patio).

Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Bamboo Cottage. The units are fairly close in proximity but have no shared space other than the parking area, so don't be alarmed if you see a vehicle when you arrive. The outdoor spaces are on opposite sides of each other and there is space between, so your privacy is assured. To rent both together for a party of 8 total guests, book Dancing Volcano Estate.

The luxurious living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing with an L-shaped leather sofa, TV, games and books. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare those scrumptious island meals. The stunning outdoor lanai is one of the highlights of the home, featuring a formal dining area and lounge chairs for relaxing in the shade while enjoying the peace and quiet this area offers.

Our main bedroom features a King sized bed, walk-in closet, and full ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower. There are 2 more exquisite guest bedrooms; one bedroom has 2 twin beds, and the other has a queen. These two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area from the main bedroom for privacy and the use of the second full bathroom. The second bathroom has a full sized washer and dryer for your use.

We provide beautiful bedding, extra blankets and there are heaters in each room. It can get quite chilly at 3500' elevation!

What to Pack:
The Island of Hawaii, aka the Big Island, boasts over 4,000 square miles and 10 different climate zones, within which are many micro climate zones! You may think that packing your favorite swimsuit and slippers (flip flops) is enough, but not true if you plan on doing any hiking or sightseeing around the island. The Volcano area can get quite chilly with temperatures dropping down to the low 40s at night, sometimes lower, so do bring your favorite warm pajamas and at least a light jacket. It actually snows often on Mauna Kea, but they close those roads whenever there are blizzard conditions present.

Need more room: Rent our cottage, Dancing Bamboo!
The detached Dancing Bamboo Cottage is stunning! The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large King bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, Dish TV, DVD player with a vast selection of movies, wireless internet, coffee pot, microwave, toaster oven and mini-fridge.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Quick Island Tour
Property was perfect for our adult family of 5. We were able to make day trips to the National Park, and other national monument sites (drove the whole island) skirting the rain best we could. Property was gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious. Loved the ammenities and the views.

Nice location close to Hawai’i Volcanoes NP
The house has a ton of space compared to other options and was quite private (the Dancing Bamboo Cottage was not occupied during our stay). We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen! The property description is spot on regarding grocery options—be sure to stock up in Hilo or Kona if you want to cook meals since the two stores in Volcano only have the very basics and prices are much higher than in town.

Hidden gem
The first thing out of our daughter’s mouth when we got here was “why didn’t we stay here the whole time”. (We split our vacation between Hilo and Kona). The entire family agreed. Pictures don’t do this place justice. It was perfect. For sure want to come back!!

Awesome, unique
Beautiful cottage in the rainforest near HVNP. As advertised. Very responsive contact person. This is a unique setting, and beautifully decorated. Great location for visiting the volcanoes park. Comfy beds. Space heaters and blankets appreciated. They do only provide a couple detergent pods for dishwasher and laundry. Stock up on groceries in Hilo first. We enjoyed seeing wild pigs and birds out back.

Perfect!
This house was perfect for our family! It was super close to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and had all the amenities our family needed (washer/dryer, dishwasher, cooking needs). My husband enjoyed coffee walks, all three of my teens had a bed, we had a family movie night with The Princess Bride, and it was a joy to eat on the lanai. Mahalo for sharing your delightful house with us!

Spacious comfortable hideaway in the forest
Large, airy, beautifully decorated home in the forest, quiet and private. The home is comfortable and well stocked. Great birdsong. Kitchen equipped well for easy meal preparation. Very pleasant outdoor space at the home. Easy access to Volcanoes National Park with amazing hiking and unique sights. It's great to stay so close by and take advantage of the park at non-peak hours. I would highly recommend this home to friends, and hope to return myself.

Pretty Nice Stay in Volcano
The house is very spacious and we had no trouble with a party of six. It is minutes from the national park and tucked away in a quiet part of the island. We loved hearing the gecko choir at night! My kids also appreciated the provided board games. There are a few things that could be fixed to make it a 5-star experience. First and most importantly, there is a door in the master bedroom that has a full length window on it. There is no curtain at all. (There is one pictured on the listing but none when we were in person). There is a second cottage on the property and they could look directly into your bed if they wanted. Actually, there were not many curtains/blinds at all and because of how dark it is at night in this location we felt like we were basically in a fish bowl. The lanai isn’t as welcoming as it looks in the photos. The furniture is worn and could use a good wash. The pictured curtains are ripped and paint stained. While the walkways and driveway are beautifully landscaped, the backyard is completely overgrown and unusable. (The long grass may be for eco reasons - it would have been nice to have a heads up) We were happy to have wifi, full kitchen and laundry in the house.

Great stay near National Park
The place was really nice, and spacious as shown in the photos. There were a couple issues though which didn't get resolved even after multiple discussions with the property manager including the front door lock not working, back door lock being stuck and wifi not working. The property manager tried to work around the issue but communication on how that happened could have made the stay better. Overall property is great if you don't run into these issues.

Dancing Ferns was the perfect rainforest retreat for our trip to Volcano. It was very comfortable for our group of 6. The house is only 10-15 mins from Volcano National Park and close to Volcano village but is quiet and secluded. We look forward to booking this house again in the future.

Quiet Home Base
Dancing Ferns was a great place to stay if you want a quiet place to recharge with your family that is minutes from Volcanoes National Park and an easy drive to Hilo or Maunakea Visitor Station. We were greeted by some nice wild pigs when we arrived and heard the rainforest frogs at night and roosters in the distance during the day. No tourists or traffic to worry about. The town of Volcano is a 5 minute drive for supplies if needed. Was great to be so close to the park for two days of hiking. Easy flying in and out of Hilo too.
