Volcano Forest Inn

Privacy. It was wonderful to hear the birds and frogs while we slept

It was a wonderful and cozy place with an AWESOME bed! The cold temperatures at night were enough to make even the hardest sleeper pass out into dream land.

Extremely tiny thing was the turn into the property felt a little narrow. No issues but might need adjustment.

Really nice to have coffee, fruit and baked goods. Great location near the park. Spacious, clean rooms.

We really didn't understand how damp and sticky the place would feel. Wierd having so much stuff in the fridge.

The breakfast was not what we expected. In fact, I don’t think anyone in our party ate anything. We had one person with a nut allergy, so the granola bars were out of the question.

I guess I expected more of a bed and breakfast, which it wasn’t. The inn is very rustic. The owner, Jon, was very nice, but sent us several very “strong” emails the day before we were to check-in about check-in and check-out and penalties for not following the “rules”.

Secluded and quiet. Very clean, large rooms. Nicely decorated.

Lacks any sort of garden or grounds, despite being tucked in among trees.

Jon was an excellent host. Property is 200 yards from a lightly traveled road so very quiet. The facility is surrounded by tropical forest and is only 1 mile from entrance to volcanoes national park and 25 minutes from Hilo. Room was huge, about 27'x21'. It had a private covered deck to listen to the rain and pheasants who occupy the surrounding forest at night. No mini-fridge in the rooms but the large fridge in the shared area was accommodating. Breakfast was trail bars, muffins, fruit, coffee and hot tea. The building has 4 bedrooms and a shared common area with common kitchen. We never saw another patron and Jon was discreet. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries and have easy access to a fantastic park.

Great location. Huge room. Convenient full kitchen with breakfast included.

It was very musty, dank, weird smells. The hallways echo. It was super cold and the plug in heater took most of the night to finally heat the room.

It was a great place off the beaten path, but easy to get there and the sleep was great because in the rainforest
