Cabin vacation rentals in Mountain View

Lovely wooden cottage, hidden in Volcano village, few min. drive to Volcano national park. Surrounded in lush greenery, tranquil, very well furnished and cozy.

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the shower drain button. Water kept accumulating, and I had to keep pressing the button constantly to let it drain. But that’s an easy fix. Everything else was absolutely 5 stars—thank you so much for hosting!

5 STARS 5 STARS 5 STARS!!! My girlfriend and I went here for our 1 year anniversary and it was pure bliss. Far enough away from the city so you can have your own peace and comfort but close enough to drive wherever on the island. We loved the solitude of the location and the soothing sounds of rain, frogs, and birds surrounding the place. This place is a gem! To add, Malie was very responsive before, during, and after the process! Super helpful with great suggestions and clear instructions. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and experience!

What a great retreat, it’s like a cozy nestled rainforest sanctuary but in Hawaii. Cozy, quaint, clean and perfect proximity to the natl, park.

Enjoyed our stay in Cabin 6, it had everything we needed for trip to the island. Short drive to VNP and other Hilo. Birds are quite vocal through the night but that’s just a part of staying off the beaten path.

Loved the view of the volcano. Actually caught a rainbow in the clouds with the volcano behind. Great stars at night if it’s not cloudy. Make sure to bring warm clothes as the place gets pretty chilly. Space heaters and cozy blankets helped. Definitely use the fireplace to get a nice temperature in the living room.

Great place to stay out in the Rainforest. Dawn is very responsive and a great host. Definitely recommend for those looking to stay out in the forest instead of in town. Definitely a remote spot, great set up.

We are so happy we discovered this hidden gem and will definitely be returning! It was the most incredible place we have stayed on the big islands: a perfect mixture between luxurious and natural! The pool front bungalows are pristine, comfortable and clean and are on an amazing pool deck which is like a huge tree house built in and around a vast forest of endemic Ohia trees! The pool deck features a pool, hot tub, rain showers, clean bathrooms, shared kitchen and a lounge area with many tranquil areas to relax and enjoy the forest. Drinking my morning tea in the hot tub, I saw several native birds flying among the Ohia trees! I highly recommend this place for people of all ages! My children loved it and enjoyed the freedom of not having to wear swim suits! Hosts were responsive and flexible and very accommodating!

An off grid location in a peaceful and natural island setting with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Only 10 minutes from either beautiful sites on the south coast or shops and provisions in Pahoa. Our boys loved the separate bunk building with two beds. Our group of five used alot of water but we only ran out one time. We let the host know and a refill was promptly ordered and waiting for us upon our return from the days activities. If you need communications, an AT&T network phone worked for us..(Pre-paid phones can be found at Walmart) Our group used alot of power, but the solar/battery system kept up well concidering. A group with reasonable power needs should have no problems with power availability. If you rely on a CPAP or simular device, a backup battery may be advisable to avoid interuption. Note that the nearby black sand beach is very beautiful but is a "Clothing Optional" beach. This place is at at the top of my list if I return to the east side of the Big Island.

I had a great stay at Ben and Katherine's property. The photos do not do it justice - it's tucked in the forest farms yet not far from the main road. The outside is lit up at night with plenty of solar lights through the evening and plenty of lighting inside as well. The cabin has EVERYTHING. Hot water, electricity, BBQ grill, a nice big sink by the grill for dishes and pans. The bathroom was super cool! Although it's open air, it does have two walls and a ceiling but the open area faces away from the road and into the forest for privacy. In the afternoon you can shower in the sunlight. Their son does an excellent job with the upkeep and the details throughout make you feel right at home. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive. If you want a quiet place to wind down to and wake up to close to volcano or even Hilo, this is it! I highly recommend and I look forward to coming back 😎

Kirpal is a fantastic place, with a real community vibe. I'd highly recommend it as a place to getaway and embrace your mind, body, soul and connect with new people and the environment. It's off the beaten track, so having a car is preferable. Take advantage of the yoga classes and vegan meals, they are fantastic. Befriend the other guests and workers, they'll become your family after a few days. Make sure you ask before eating the fruit from the orchard, some isn't safe/ready.

Beautiful location at what feels like the end of the world. We slept well and enjoyed both the sounds of nature and the beautiful and unique surroundings. While there are plenty of neighbors in the community, everyone seems to keep to themselves. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. The firepit in the pictures is not operable, which we found out after booking and really the only downfall for an otherwise great stay. A rental vehicle is required to get there and we were grateful to have rented an SUV. Highly recommended as the roads are rock/gravel with some small hills and quite the drive, but the closest town is about 15 minutes and will have anything else you need. Bring drinking water! The pictures do the cabin justice; it is open air but well maintained, comfortable, and worth the stay. Overall very good experience!

Holly's place was exactly as described. The photos do not do it justice. Sitting on the patio at night in the hot tub or next to the beautiful firepit was extremely relaxing looking out to the tropical forest listening to the coquis exceeded all expectations. I also picked up several fantastic ideas for our upcoming home in the same area. Their home was beautiful and extremely well built and planned.

I loved going to sleep to the frog chorus. and waking up to the chickens clucking. The jungle-like surroundings are beautiful, and it's very tranquil. I was a bit unsure after reading an earlier review that said there were bugs and the hosts were difficult. I'm glad I read all of the positive comments from other guests and stayed there anyway. I found it very clean, and didn't have any "roommates" or other issues. The hostess was sweet and very available. I will come back to this lovely spot.

We moved around a few times on this trip, but this was our favorite place that we stayed. Everything was very clean and well stocked. We felt right at home. I was feeling a bit nervous at the last minute about not having a/c, but that was not an issue at all. I was surprised with how much cooler it was in that side of the island. This was a great little area with everything we needed near by and plenty of character. I loved the history of the house!

This was a great place to get away from it all. A little strange taking a shower under the house but we got used to it. It’s 30 min from Hilo so if you are wanting to go there daily it can be quite a drive. Overall super happy with the rental

Diane's cabin was a very peaceful place to stay. She was very responsive and flexible. Diane was even kind enough to assist me in coordinating to receive time-sensitive mail while staying at her cabin. The place was clean and organized. You can tell that much thought was put into the layout and where things were placed/organized around the cabin. I would definitely stay at Diane's cabin again.

Great location next to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. You can walk about 1.5 miles and be standing on the rim of an active volcano or take a 5-minute or so drive to park and walk to the various viewpoints along the rim. Watching the birds on the deck was a definite plus. If you wake up around sunrise - don't bring an alarm clock. The roosters in the area will tell you when the sun starts to rise. The Wi-Fi/internet connection was slow and at times spotty. We were still able to do a little work (usually work a few days during our stays in vacation rentals). If it's not raining around sunset, try to get a clear view of Mauna Loa and you will be able to see almost the full volcano and an amazing sunset. Speaking of Mauna Loa, highly recommend taking the winding Mauna Loa road to its end. It's only 11.5 miles but about 3/4th of that distance is either 25 mph or 15 mph - so it takes about 45 minutes. Stop and walk around the various Kapuki along the way - well worth it!

Awesome authentic off grid experience living in a super clean cabin in the woods with all the amenities you could want or need. Falling into a deep sleep in the cabin loft to the serenade of the coqui frogs or taking an instant hot water shower outdoors surrounded by only the rainforest, these are experiences that will stick with you for a lifetime. Tom and Misty are really cool and accommodating, and gave me great advice for living off grid in the Puna district. Don’t miss this rainforest cabin experience, because once you find it, you might never want to leave!

Kamaka Cabin was a comfortable and brilliantly located place to stay. We enjoyed its spaciousness and appreciated it's cleanliness. We also appreciated the prompt communication when we asked a question. We were a bit surprised by the proximity to others. When we arrived 5 other cars/trucks were in the shared driveway and the gorgeous lanai looks directly on the other rental (cottage) and water tank.

The Rose Cottage was a perfect romantic getaway in the jungle. Great hosts with helpful and fun recommendations.

Great place and host.

For travelers intent on having a rainforest experience, Emerald Rainforest Retreat is the real deal. The beauty and isolation of ERR are unbeatable. We’ve stayed in a lot of places in Volcano and would certainly hope to find that Hartley had an opening when we are on the Big Island. Great spot!

The best sleep we’ve had away from home. The sounds of the natural habitat at night were incredible. The beach is all lava rock; something new for us and fun to explore. A local farmers market was just down the street. There are a lot of little geckos, frogs, chickens and roosters. This stay was rural and relaxing.
