My boyfriend and I stayed for (sadly) only one night in #44 - certainly the coolest "hotel room" I've ever stayed in. The location is just removed enough so all we heard in the morning were the birds, but we could drive to Hilo in half an hour, or into Volcanoes National Park to hike and explore. After a day... more

My wife and I stayed here for 3 days during our recent 10th anniversary trip. The owner was nice, and tried to be as helpful as possible. The breakfast was alright. The location was very close to Volcanoes National park, but with the lava not flowing over ground, that might not be as much of a positive. We are not... more

Thank God we only booked one night here! Originally we had planned to stay in Volcano for two nights but our plans changed. We arrived and Mike checked us in, complaining that the tourists didn't know their left from their right, in terms of locating the inn. He met us over at the cottage to show us where to park,... more

This is the second time we have stayed at Cottage 44, and it is simply wonderful. The cottage itself is very cozy and romantic, the breakfast is great, and the proprieter and staff are helpful. An added bonus was quality time with Dixon, the resident cat. I can't imagine staying anywhere else around the volcano. more

Stayed for 2 nights to visit Volcanoes NP - weather was very disappointing - apparently hadn't rained all summer but day we arrvived it poured pretty much for 2 days solid and wind shifted so we couldn't visit the lava viewing area - not Hale's fault of course Accomodation was pretty nice - very helpful owner on information and he... more

We stayed in Cotage #44. It was very nice. It's basically a bed inside an old water tower with an attached living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The entire cotage was just spectacular. We would have breakfast on the front porch and watch the birds fly by. It felt like you are surrounded by a rain forrest. The only thing I... more

Wonderful little cottages! Our cottage had skylights, a small kitchen and tiny sitting area. Great location in Volcano, close to great hiking and tiny downtown area. If you are going to stay at the volcano for a few days, this is an excellent choice. more

We stayed in the Hale Ohia cottage for 3 days. What a wonderful and welcoming cottage to come back to after a day hiking the volcano. It felt like home. Michael was so nice and full of information about the area. He provided the most delicious bread, papaya, bananas and juice for the morning. Even though I must admit some... more

Hale Ohia is such a beautiful property, in the middle of a rain forest. When it rains (daily in our case), the tin roof has a lovely sound. It was perfectly located in proximity to Volcanoes National Park. There are several really cute restaurants around. The room was extremely clean - we stayed in Cottage 44, made out of the... more
