Just minutes away from the Volcano National Park. We had 3 rooms for our party of 9 and the rooms were all very big, with plenty of space for everyone. Snacks and breakfast items were provided; we especially loved the little packages of locally-made cookies. The owner was very quick to respond to our questions. Nice place to stay if you want to be close to the National Park.

Location, size and comfort of the rooms. John was very helpful as a host. It was chilly but the space heater heated the room quickly. I am a bird watcher... wonderful property for birding!

Some options for the breakfast might be nice... yogurt, granola, different breads to toast.. We often find that there could be more hooks, towel racks in bathrooms... would be nice.

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”.

Perfect starting point for the Volcano Park, only 5 minutes from the entrance but literally in the forest so very quiet. Restaurants and shops within 5 minutes by car. The Lodge has a very well equipped kitchen available if you want to prepare your food by yourself. Jon the host ensures that the whole Inn is always very clean and tidy and he is also very helpful when you need anything.

Excellent location and price, only about a mile from the Park entrance. Clean, comfortable bed, and space heater to take the chill out of the room. Excellent shower water pressure.

A bit worn, could use some refreshing: paint, moldings, fixtures.

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.

Very cozy big room, and lots of fruit available for breakfast! Not so far from the Volcano Parks Visitor Center either, yet still tucked away private in the jungle. Jon was so quick to respond and very helpful as well. Awesome spot to stay for a night or more! :)

Be prepared to be in a moist jungle, most buildings in the area may have some dampness. I just closed the windows and turned on the provided space heater to help though. :)

Really good common areas - kitchen, living room, etc. Room was huge, location really good for the National Park.

A lot of rules posted everywhere - mostly common sense, but it makes you a bit antsy.

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 location was very close to our planned activities. The room was spacious and clean. This was the third visit to Volcano Forest Inn. We will plan to return next year.
