About this property

Dancing Bamboo Cottage - Your Cozy Getaway Near Volcanoes Nat'l Park

Aloha and Welcome to the Dancing Bamboo Cottage!

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is located on 3 acres surrounded by the Big Islands upcountry rain forest. Lush guava and bamboo jungle, beautiful anthuriums, large Ohi'a trees and Hapu'u ferns surround the property. And you're minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has a whole new look after the great eruption of 2018 that closed the Park for several months!

Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Ferns. The units are fairly close in proximity but have no shared space other than the parking area, so don't be alarmed if you see a vehicle when you arrive. The outdoor areas are on opposite sides from each other and there is space between the units so your privacy is assured. If you need more room there is a discount for renting both units together by booking Dancing Volcano Estate.

Dancing Bamboo Cottage is a detached studio located just outside a beautiful country home, Dancing Ferns which is also available for vacation renting. The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large king bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, WiFi, DVD player with a selection of movies, coffee pot, microwave and mini-fridge.
Please NOTE: there is NO washer/dryer, no phone (cell service is good) and no air conditioning (at 3,500 ft elevation the air is naturally cool).

What to Pack:
The Island of Hawaii, aka the Big Island, boasts over 4,000 square miles and 10 different climate zones, within which are many micro climate zones! You may think that packing your favorite swimsuit and slippers (flip flops) is enough, but not true if you plan on doing any hiking or sightseeing around the island. The Volcano area can get quite chilly with temperatures dropping down to the low 40s at night, sometimes lower, so do bring your favorite warm pajamas and at least a light jacket. It actually snows often on Mauna Kea, but they close those roads whenever there are blizzard conditions present.

Rates are for single or double occupancy. Cleaning and other fees will also apply.

Need more room? Our main house, Dancing Ferns, is a fantastic place to stay too. Dancing Ferns has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, large dining area, large living area with SMART TV, Free WiFi, and a large covered lanai (patio). Book BOTH for a discount - ask us how!

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

Cottage for a volcano visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Isolated cottage in a rain forest environment complete with wildlife. Has what you need for a comfortable stay, fridge, toaster and microwave ovens, small heater if it get too cool, dehumidifier and air purifier if needed. The room and bath are perfect for a couple. The gates entrance can be "fun" in the rain. The road is a bit primitive but easy to drive in any was 10 min from the Hawaii Volcano Natiinal Park entrance.

Mahalo for your review, TIare! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I've let our maintenance team know about the fussy toilet handle. We usually do leave a kitchen sponge - I have a note in to housekeeping about your review. I've also asked them to inventory the utensil situation. We don't supply any food items due to COVID restrictions. You can't be too careful these days! We hope you'll keep us in mind if your travels bring you back to Volcano.

Dancing Bamboo

Lovely setting, very remote. Clean, comfortable accommodations for the three nights we stayed. Ten minute drive to the Hawaii Volcano National Park and Volcano village which was convenient. We met local family at the park each day to explore and hike in the National park. The internet worked very well. The shower was lovely, nice hard shower and plenty of room. We would recommend this property!

The Bamboo cottage is just as described. It's super close to the national park and was a nice place to come back to after we were done exploring. So quiet and peaceful and the STARS were amazing. Coffee on the lanai before we headed out, just taking in the landscape... I would definitely stay again.

The bathroom was my favorite feature of the place with a large shower and two mini sinks. It does require opening and closing a gate when entering and leaving the property but is normal among the surrounding properties.

Quiet place, somewhat secluded

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great experience staying in the cottage. It was near the national park but not too close to town which was nice. It gets a bit muddy when wet and is fairly dimly lit at night near the gate which makes it a little bit of a challenge to open the gate. The cottage was just as pictured, very clean and well kept. This is a great place to stay if you don’t plan to cook but they do have a toaster oven, microwave and a regular drip coffee maker which was nice.

Mahalo for your review, Jacqueline. You're right - it is DARK here! There are light ordinances to keep light pollution to a minimum because of the telescopes up on Mauna Kea. We always recommend that guests have their phone's flashlight app at the ready when arriving after dark.

Nice cottage off the main house. Very clean. Everything just as listed. Only issue was NO HEAT, and we stayed during one of those rare times it does get cool in the winter, 50's outside at night, makes it low 60's in the room. Maybe we should have known better, but now you do too.

Cute cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was clean and attractive. Bed was comfortable. Not hard to find when you followed the hosts instructions. Unfortunately, the cottage had a very musty smell and had to be aired vigorously each day after it had been closed while we were out. As well, there was no hot plate supplied as advertised which required some original thinking to get dinner cooked. Overall, a pleasant stay but could use a few little improvements.

ryans review of dancing bamboo cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this has been a great place to stay. very nice quality house and clean. in short this place is the reason why the local resorts and hotels bribed the mayor, and others, to pass restrictive laws against short term vacation rentals because people were no longer staying at hotels and resorts. yes there are somethings to consider. there is a unpaved road for the last block of road. not all the lots/homes in the estate are perfect and clean but they are never bothersome or a problem, minor and hardly worth mentioning. a washer/dryer would be nice but for that you would have to pay more due to the price of electricity on island and depending on your length of stay not an issue if you pack right. i would stay here again (and probably will) and recommend it to anyone.

Good location, ok accommodation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was good for my purposes of strictly visiting the volcano. I didn’t feel like the rental was clean however. It had the feeling of appearing clean but I didn’t trust that it actually was. The fridge didn’t work and smelled awful, pretty upset since they recommend you buy groceries in town and everything spoiled and took on the disgusting smell of the fridge. Wasted my money and then had to dine out anyway.The support mattress sheet had a bunch of stains on it. The gate lock was really old and rusted, pretty painful on the fingers to unlock each time. The shower drained pretty slowly. It felt like an air bnb but not really great quality. The towels were thin and the bathroom mirrors were placed too high. Overall I felt it was ok for the price. I will probably try to book further in advance and stay at a hotel next time.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2025
Mahalo for your review, Jasmine. We are so sorry to hear that Dancing Bamboo Cottage didn't meet your expectations. The property was cleaned by our housekeeping manager just before your arrival and the fridge was working fine at that time. We didn't notice any trouble with it after your departure, but we will be sure to double check on the next cleaning, just in case! We wish you had let us know there was an issue - we would have sent someone immediately! The sheets and towels are newer... but if there was a problem with them, of course we would have replaced them right away if only we'd known. We will double check on them and the gate lock as mentioned. It's not necessary at all to lock the gate when you come and go - it's just good to pull it shut so the local pigs don't root around in the yard. We wish you all the best in your future travels!

Aloha Charles, thank you for noting all the great aspects of our cottage! We're sorry that the minor issues you had added up to giving the property a low score, ouch. All of these could have been redtified by notifying us. We inspect the unit before every arrival. There has never been a cigarette odor. We believe the odor you smelled was from the air purifier. We changed the filter which did have a 'woodsey' smell and that is gone now. Hopefully future guests will read multiple reviews and see that most guests really enjoy our space.
