Volcano Mist Cottage
11-3932 9th St., Volcano, Hawaii, 96778, USA, Hawaii, USAWhy We Like It
This little retreat makes you feel like you’re living life in a jungle, minus all of those giant animals that can eat you. The rainforest setting, right next to the Hawai’I Volcanoes National Park, with luxury amenities makes for the perfect solo or couples getaway.
Fodor's Expert Review
Both rustic and Zen, this magical cottage in the rain forest features cathedral ceilings, spruce walls, cork flooring, and amenities not usually found at Volcano vacation rentals, like bathrobes, a Bose home theater system, and Trek mountain bikes. The outdoor patio feels like a contemporary lodge, with an enormous stone fireplace to warm those cool Volcano nights.
You Should Know Getting in touch with staff ahead of booking is surprisingly difficult, so waiting around to receive responses to email or phone messages may be frustrating.

Restaurants
Kilauea Lodge Restaurant (4-minute drive) is a great choice for a higher end, full course meal. The cocktails and wine menu have a little something for everyone, and their European-inspired fare will have you ready for a relaxing evening. The Rim (8-minute drive), inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, offers an incredible view of the volcano glow. Try to get to dinner right before sunset, with plenty of time to see it in the dark – and be sure to make a reservation. If you’re a fan of fish, the local catch specials are almost always impeccably cooked and sauced.
