Hosts were very welcoming and easy to ask questions to when looking for recommendations. Elaine and Carter's place was extremely clean and welcoming. The location was perfect for my husband's and my stay for Volcanoes National Park. About 5-6 minute easy drive. Sometimes we worry about staying on someones property but it was no issue and felt like we had our own place. Would highly recommend staying here if looking for a place to stay near VNP!

A perfect stay for visiting the volcano!!

This property is a great place to sleep at night if you are visiting the volcano. Super close location to the volcano and the host are great at recommending places to go and explore! I was able to start hiking very early(like 5am early), worth it to see the stars and sunrise!! You are also in close range to many beaches in the area!

Great stay 10 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes NP

Elaine and Carter’s studio was perfect for my wife and I when visiting Volcanoes NP and Hilo. We spent I full day and 3 evenings in the National Park and 1 day exploring the beaches and waterfalls near Hilo. The studio was clean, well appointed and gated. Elaine and Carter were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again in our next visit!

This was our first time renting a property instead of booking a hotel, and they were the most pleasant people to rent with. Elaine saw that we bought wine, but didn’t have glasses and brought us some nice crystal for the trip. They were cordial in asking if we needed laundry done, and places to visit on the island. We loved it here and definitely would come back.

convenient location, charmng studio

Elaine was always prompt with responding to our emails and was friendly and helpful when we arrived. The charming studio was decorated for Christmas and had everything we needed (but don't plan on preparing food--very limited kitchenette). Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperative--raining, cool, very windy at Volcano, and we woke up to fog and drizzle in the morning--so we decided to stay only one night rather than the two that we had booked. The only negative is that the property is adjacent to the highway, and if you are a light sleeper, you will hear traffic noise during the night.

2 nights at the Volcano

We had a fabulous 2 night stay at the volcano studio. Cozy, very clean, really well laid out little studio with a super comfy bed. Elaine and Carter were great hosts, very welcoming and what a lovely touch to have a little bottle of bubbly in the fridge on arrival. We loved going up to see the volcano erupting at night (you can see so much more of the lava in the dark), walking the national park trails and driving to see the lava trees and Pohoiki black sand beach where the 2018 lava flow meets the sea. The studio is also a short drive to a variety of restaurants of which we enjoyed 2 meals out. Huge thank you to Elaine & Carter for having us at your lovely studio. We would highly recommend!

Super Unterkunft im Nationalpark !!

Das kleine Häuschen, was früher mal eine Garage war, ist wirklich super. Total schön eingerichtet und hat für einen kürzeren Aufenthalt wirklich alles was man benötigt. Die Lage zum Nationalpark und zu den Einkaufs- und Essensmöglichkeiten ist wirklich perfekt und in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Man hat außerdem einen eigenen Parkplatz unter einem Dach was bei dem häufigen Regen wirklich super ist. Die Gastgeber sind wirklich sehr freundlich. Wir sind wärmstens empfangen worden und uns wurden einige Tipps für die Umgebung mitgeteilt. Was wirklich toll ist, ist dass man das Wasser aus der Leitung trinken kann, da die Eigentümer das Regenwasser auffangen und aufbereiten. Wirklich ausgezeichnet. Ich würde jeder Zeit wieder herkommen. Absolutes Schmuckstück !!!

Fern Studio was amazing!

I can't say enough good about this rental. The studio itself is well thought out with everything that you need and something you didn't know you needed. The bed is comfy and you can tell that the owners take great pride in the experience. It was great to be able to meet with Carter and Elaine and they are incredibly nice and welcoming hosts. We enjoyed the sounds of the rainforest as well as Rolan Da Rooster, while using the fern studio as our base to explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The only downside we found is that we had to leave, but would absolutely stay again if/when we return to the big island. Thanks for providing one of our favorite places to stay in all of our travels!

Welcoming studio close to the Volcano park!

The hosts were so kind, welcoming us in person and showing us around the studio. It's outfitted with so many little niceties, like coffee and travel cups, plates and utensils, and quality toiletries. Only a short drive to Hilo and even shorter to the park. Our only complaint was the bed. If you are used to a foam or spring mattress, just know that this is more of a futon cushion.
