E komo mai. Welcome to our Fern Cottage. Located across from Volcano Village, and just minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we invite you to make our Fern Cottage your home away from home during your next visit. Legally operating under permits: STVR_19-34557 and NUC_19-0293.

The space
Comfortably nestled in the lush hapu'u fern and ohi'a rainforest, you will find our location offers relaxing comfort and privacy all the while keeping you close to the variety nearby attractions the Big Island has to offer.

Our house is a cozy but spacious 900 sq ft 2 bed/1 bath house that sleeps 2-5 people comfortably. The high vaulted pine ceiling and wood floors naturally juxtapose with the green views of lush vegetation visible from all the numerous large windows throughout the house. A spacious covered half wrap-around deck greets you as you exit the house, and provides an excellent location to take in the views of the surrounding forest on our half acre property.

Both bedrooms have high-quality comfortable queen-size beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa is available to provide a third bed to accomodate your party's needs. The master bedroom has its own entry door to the covered porch. The main living/sleeping area is only accessible by stairs; therefore, we are unfortunately not accessible for visitors with disabilities that prevent the climbing of steps. For families looking to stay with us, we prefer there be at least one adult per child, if possible.

We strive to provide a warm and inviting stress-free yet affordable alternative to the big resorts. We hope you like what you see here and choose Hale Hubner Fern Cottage for you next visit to the Big Island. Mahalo!

Nightly rate does not include one-time cleaning fee ($100), General Excise Tax (4.439%) and Transient Accommodations Tax (10.25%). A $200 refundable deposit is required, but is not collected by Airbnb up front unless a claim is made following a stay.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the whole house. Why stay at a hotel when for the same cost (or less) you can have a whole house with a fully stocked kitchen and two beds. Check out our amenities to see all that is available to you!

Other things to note
Our house requires climbing a flight of uncovered stairs to enter. Please consider this before booking if you or any of your party has difficulty with stairs. Further, Volcano is situated at 4000 ft elevation in Ohi'a and hapu'u rain forest. This means that the climate is not quite what most people expect when they envisage Hawai'i. It is cooler in Volcano (upper 70's in daytime to 50's in evenings), so bring some cooler weather clothes. Also, bring a jacket or rain poncho so that you do not miss out on activities because of a random shower.

Neighborhood highlights

Though the map above states that our home is in Mountain View, it is actually in Volcano, directly across from the Village. Our house is just minutes away (4 miles and approximately a 6 minute drive) from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and surrounded by half an acre of lush rainforest.
