Gem of a cottage in Volcano
We were smitten with this house. Beautifully simple, clean, and pretty cottage in the rural village of Volcano. 5-10 mins from the National Park. Very comfortable mattress. Cozy sheets and blankets. Cleaner than any other place I’ve ever seen in Hawaii. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Perfect location for visiting National Park
We had a great stay. The house is very close to National Park and we were able to go two early mornings to view lava flow at Kilauea volcano. We felt like we had a home away from home.

True Hawaii
Col-Villa is an amazing property with an ideal location to explore Volcano National Park and the Hilo side of the island. This vintage Hawaiian home has modern amenities that reflects the owners attention to detail and it's historical past. The king bed was super comfortable and everything in the home was upscale. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family.

Rainforest magic
This is the place to be if you’re staying Volcano Village! Col-Villa is a well cared for historic home with lots of charm, minutes from Volcano National Park. The sounds of rainforest birds greet you in the morning. When it was too rainy for the park, we were able to enjoy the fireplace and cooking in the kitchen. Kirk was very kind and responsive, and left a great guide in the home with restaurant recommendations in the Village. Could not recommend this place enough!

Quiet retreat near Volcano National Park
This is a charming and historic home near the park. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood which was delightful as well. The bathroom was a little tight but there were towel warmers in the bedrooms with luxurious towels. Overall, a lovely experience.

We feel in love with the home and it was the perfect place to spend Valentine's Day! Quaint, quiet and the perfect location for our 3 day tour of Volcano National Park. We especially loved being outdoors watching and listening to the native birds flit around and chirp in the wind. My husband even saw the Hawaiian hawk! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The house was very comfortable. Access to the national park was excellent.
Staying in this house gave us a sense of what life must have been like in an earlier, simpler time. We really found it comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for us to see more of that part of the island without a long day of driving getting to and from.

Great base for exploring Volcanoes National Park!
Our family of three spent 3 days at Col-Villa while we explored Volcanoes National Park. Col-Villa was exactly like the pictures! It was a great space for us to relax after a long day of hiking. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I keep wanting to call the house ‘cozy’ but it is way too big for that. Comfortable might be a better word. We appreciated the fresh cut flowers in the living and dining rooms and the towel warmers in each bedroom. I can’t say enough about our experience. It was really great!

Lovely stay in Volcano
This was a stay that we surprisingly enjoyed more than expected. Having decided on a somewhat last minute trip to visit my mother in the new year, we were so happy to have found Volcano Village. What a charming place, utterly wild, yet manicured. The house, fully contained within itself, stocked with everything you should need, was a welcoming refuge after full days spent exploring the National Park and environs. The furnishings were especially well-suited to the locale, and reflective of good design and upkeep. This is our first stay at a rental as we usually prefer luxury hotels and resorts. Well, this was a much worthwhile detour from our usual. We will always remember our brief yet memorable time here, marked by a very special peace and tranquility of place. Thank you for your hospitality.

Can't wait to return!
We loved our stay at this home in Volcano! It was centrally located to all the activities we wanted to do from the south end of the island, in Volcano National Park and throughout Hilo. I feel people don't experience this side of the island enough because the weather isn't "as nice" but I'm telling you it didn't stop us from doing anything! It rained a little every day but eventually cleared up and was beautiful!
We were here over Christmas. It was my husband and I, 2 adult kids and my MIL. I was a bit worried only having 1 bathroom but it never ended up being a problem. The space this house provides is wonderful and you get spoiled. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was so cute and had enough dishes/cooking supplies we needed. It would be nice to have a few supplies like coffee, even to have 1 or 2 complimentary bags until you can get to a grocery store would be nice. The heat lamps were enough to heat up the rooms we were using and we even had a fire one evening.
If you are used to staying in a 5 star hotel this might not be for you, you are in an area where there are bugs and not all the windows are sealed real tight. You are going to get moths/little bugs in the house. Believe me I hate bugs and none of them bugged me here.
The furniture was very nice and comfortable! I can't say enough about this cute little old house except we will be back. Oh ya, Kirk was also very helpful and quick to respond. Thank you for helping us make such great memories as a family!

Marilyn and I spent 8 mid-December days enjoying the Volcano HI area and our stay at Col-Villa. Loved the look and comfortable feel of the house and property. Location provided us easy access to Volcanoes National Park, the Puna area, Hilo and of course the small community of Volcano. No hesitation in recommending this as a place to stay while in the area.

Historic home in the village, walking distance to the Sunday market, and great location to Volcanoes National Park. Was not as pristine as the pictures, but we had a great time, and Kirk was really nice as a property manager. It’s a good stay in Volcano.
