Volcano Mist Cottage

11-3932 9th St., Volcano, Hawaii, 96778, USA, Hawaii, USA

Why 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.

You will need a rental car to get around the Volcano area and the island.

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.

Bars

Volcano Winery (11-minute drive) offers tastings of their island inspired, island grown wines every day of the year for a small fee. Thai Thai Bistro & Bar (5-minute drive) offers up local brews for a great price, tropical cocktails for a decent price, and a Flaming Thai Thai with an extra little kick.
