This is a special little place that truly feels away from it all. It is a short drive (like 3 minutes) to Volcano Village, but when you are on the grounds of VRR, it really feels like Eden. Our room was well-appointed, the breakfast was generous, and soaking in the soaking tub outside at night was so memorable. The owners... More

This was unquestionably the loveliest place we have ever stayed. Nestled in the green serenity of the tropical forest, this is a Hawaiian oasis away from the world. The attention to detail was amazing: soft cozy robes, a fireplace for cool nights, beautifully tasteful architecture and décor, a hot tub amid the dripping palms, a skylight to watch the stars...

My husband and I recently stayed here for 5 nights. We spent the first half of our visit on the other side of the island and finished with 5 nights on this side of the island. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax and escape, then this is the place for you. We stayed in the Bamboo... More

We stayed for two nights in the Forest House and it was really special. Nothing like waking up and all you see is jungle around you. I felt like I was on a movie set. The owner's attention to detail is amazing. It really feels like home away from home while you are there. The only thing I would have... More

We just stayed in the Sanctuary for 4 nights. What a restful and relaxing experience. The big island has so much to do and see particularly around the Volcano National park and after a full days of hiking and exploring we would eagerly race home ( a quick 5 min drive from the park entrance). The details and extra touches... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and we had a wonderful time. Our private bungalow had an outdoor shower and a soaking tub. The bungalow and decor was so charming and the food basket was great, too. Kathleen and Peter even had a form for us to fill out our first morning of what we'd like to... More

A wonderful sanctuary, amazing craftsmanship of the cottages, great hosts. The Japanese soaking tub was a highlight. Plants and artwork and resident birds make this a unique retreat. More

Our 7 day stay at the Volcano Rainforest Retreat was absolutely amazing. The accomodations were beautiful and comfortable. It was tucked back in a rainforest and very private. We actually never saw any of the other guests, even though the place was completely booked the entire time. Peter, Kathleen, and Ann were incredibly nice and made sure that we were... More

The VRR was memorable, but like other reviewers said, it's not for everyone. The positives: Wonderful architecture of the cabin (we stayed in the Forest House), adorable little paths to the cabin, porch light left on each night for our return, room cleaned daily (dishes washed/put away, towels folded or replaced, breakfast items restocked), very friendly and helpful owners, beautiful...
