Romantic Tree Cottage in the Rainforest

No detail overlooked! A serene custom-designed studio retreat in the treetops of Volcano, Hawaii. Tree cottage includes a beautiful kitchen, spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower, private driveway, top-level lanai off the living area for viewing the unique local flora. Interior is mid-century tropical with pristine hardwood floors, hanging rattan chair for daydreams, queen-sized bed, and bistro table setting provides an intimate setting for morning coffee, or evening dinner for two.

Relax in the tranquility of the ohi'a and hapu'u trees native to this unique part of the world, while enjoying your favorite creature comforts.

The tree cottage is 300 sq. feet, custom-designed and adorned by the host/owner providing a more personal experience for the guests. Amenities such as an easy to access entrance, beautiful decor, a well-appointed kitchen, consistent hot water, electricity, fluffy towels, ceiling fan and comfy bed make a luxurious take on the treehouse experience we all dream of experiencing.

Coffee, tea, and oatmeal are also provided for morning foraging. :)

The living area has glass french doors that welcome you in to the cottage. Once inside you'll be inspired by the beautiful pitched pine ceiling, large windows and 8" sliding glass doors providing a perfect vantage into the trees. At this height you can see the colorful birds flitting from tree to tree and the clouds rolling in from the coast.

The kitchen has hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and quartz counter tops. It comes complete with a four-burner gas stove, small fridge, full-sized sink, coffee maker, and toaster oven.

The bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with pebble floor and a rain shower head for an incredible experience. The big windows, flower-shaped vessel sink, quartz counter tops, tiled floor, and fluffy bath linens provided give the bathroom the feeling of a beautiful, relaxing spa.

The outdoor garden is spotted with new, young plants but still evokes a feeling of privacy, peace, tranquility, and a change of pace from everyday life.

House water is potable and chemical-free. Piped in from the outdoor rain catchment system, the water is purified with a UV system and filtered.

The tree cottage was built by a local contractor, engaging local businesses for the materials. Shannon's hands-on management (even cleaning between guests!) and pride in ownership for the property results in a tree cottage guests can feel comfortable staying in.

*For the comfort and safety of guests, personal belongings and the property the exterior of building has surveillance monitoring.

Excellent communication from the host, very clean house. It was the perfect location to stay and visit the National Park. Highly recommend.The food store selections are slim in Volcano so plan to grab some groceries on your drive.

The house and garden are beautiful but the setup is very poor. For example, There is no place for suitcases other than the floor. (No luggage racks) The microwave was inside the bottom cupboard so you had to kneel on the floor to put your food in. We moved it to the countertop (there was plenty of room on the counter). Way too many throw pillows on the bed and no place to put them other than the closet, which left little space for anything else. It seems the owner was only concerned with aesthetics, with little consideration for functionality and practicality. I would rate this a 5 for decor and setting, 5 for host interaction, and a 1 for practicality.

What can I say, this place was perfect to celebrate an anniversary. It was romantic, very comfortable, clean, relaxing and every detail was thought of. The bed is to die for, comfortable, warm and the center of the treehouse overlooking the rainforest. Slept with windows open to hear the frogs. Owner really did a great job stocking the place with beautiful local art and all the comforts of home. There was a couch and soft lighting beneath the cottage for evening relaxing. She even took extra care with the property planting flowers, bamboo and native Hawaiian plants around the property. We were lucky enough to be only 4 minutes from volcano national park and got to see Kīlauea erupt. Hostess also sent me a whole list of sights, restaurants and stores. Kīlauea lodge was fabulous for dinner highly recommend.We flew into Hilo, but did take a trip to Kona side to swim with the manta rays. Well worth doing and was a trip highlight. Would recommend staying at this cottage for so many reasons but loved no tv, cleanliness, bed comfort, location and exceptional privacy. Wish we could have spent more time at the actual vrbo but will be back and recommend to all our friends!!!Oh and don’t miss the botanical gardens just north of Hilo on scenic route. This was another highlight of trip and not to be missed for anyone that loves plants, flowers or landscaping. Akaka falls and rainbow falls are right near here so see all three as a side trip.

The place was very nice, exceptFor the outside area underneath. It was not really usable and it looked as if stray animals had been on the chairs. Without that space it was quite small, but the bed was good and the kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. Bathroom was cozy but just fine.

This property was so cute and the perfect size for a couple. The proximity to Volcano NP is a highlight point! It’s exactly as described in the post and the dehumidifier was a game changer. We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re back!

We loved the rainforest that surrounded the tree cottage. The cottage itself was cozy and inviting. The dehumidifier and heater were a nice touch in the humid and cooler climate; the kitchen was great for preparing our own meals; very clean; friendly and accommodating host.

Very nice, beautiful surroundings and very responsive host. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because it does not have a closet to hang clothes nor anywhere else in the space to do so. Also, a personal preference, I do not care for rain showers, but I can understand why the space had one. By the way, the internet is great.

This is a cute little cottage in a beautiful setting in your own little forest. The cottage was built using all space efficiently. The bed was comfortable, bathroom very nice and the kitchen was very usable. The negatives would be there is absolutely no place to put your luggage (2 small carryons)so we had to use the two chairs that went with the table which left no place to sit to eat. The only place indoors to sit is either in the bed or the hanging chair which we had to use to stack all the bed pillows on. There is a nice space down below to sit outdoors.

Very private property and very quiet during the day (noisy at night from Coqui frogs but I slept fine with ear plugs). Lovely trees & flowers in the yard. Short drive to the park & restaurants. We enjoyed our stay. The host gave prompt responses & clear instructions. I would recommend the cottage.

Loved everything about the treehouse

My spouse and I had the best time staying in Shannon's tree cottage! It was eat-off-the-floor clean when we arrived, and the general instructions on the table were very clear and simple. The dehumidifier was a nice touch, as were the heated mattress pads, which I didn't know i needed in my life until now. It was so nice to wake up to such a beautiful rainforest setting every morning. Thank you Shannon for making our stay in Volcano so memorable!

Very lovely. Clean, well lit with a heater for a chilly eve. Would recommend guest umbrellas.. Luckily I had my own. Perhaps a better tea assortment and unsweetened oatmeal option. I will return.

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this vacation rental! It is well thought out and despite being a small place there is everything you need to have a wonderful stay! We really liked being so close to Volcanoes National Park. We could go in and out of the park at any time and explore as we liked. Shannon was very helpful and responded quickly to any need.
