About this property

Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii

Dancing Ferns in Volcano, Hawaii is a fantastic place to stay and visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park just a few minutes drive from our house. Our main house 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).

Please note that there is another rental on this large property - Dancing Bamboo Cottage. 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 spaces are on opposite sides of each other and there is space between, so your privacy is assured. To rent both together for a party of 8 total guests, book Dancing Volcano Estate.

The luxurious living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing with an L-shaped leather sofa, TV, games and books. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare those scrumptious island meals. The stunning outdoor lanai is one of the highlights of the home, featuring a formal dining area and lounge chairs for relaxing in the shade while enjoying the peace and quiet this area offers.

Our main bedroom features a King sized bed, walk-in closet, and full ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower. There are 2 more exquisite guest bedrooms; one bedroom has 2 twin beds, and the other has a queen. These two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area from the main bedroom for privacy and the use of the second full bathroom. The second bathroom has a full sized washer and dryer for your use.

We provide beautiful bedding, extra blankets and there are heaters in each room. It can get quite chilly at 3500' elevation!

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.

Need more room: Rent our cottage, Dancing Bamboo!
The detached Dancing Bamboo Cottage is stunning! The décor is Hawaiian plantation, with a kitchenette, cozy sitting area, large King bed and a luxurious walk in marble shower, Dish TV, DVD player with a vast selection of movies, wireless internet, coffee pot, microwave, toaster oven and mini-fridge.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

great rental !

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: House location was excellent for exploring Volcano National Park. Very clean and plenty of room for 5 of us. great to have laundry as well. We did not have any cell service at the house but the wifi was good. It was rainy and chilly most of the time we were there, and the heaters are space heaters so just make sure you have one for each bedroom when you arrive. We were missing one but we contacted the company and they let us go to the adjoining property (which was not occupied) to get one that had ended up there.

Loved Volcano National Park

The house is very nice, comfortable, quiet and very convenient to the National Park that we were there to visit . There were a few maintenance issues, but the property management was quick to respond and always reachable. The need for a little attention was the only reason we gave the property a 4 and I am sure they will address those items for the future. We cooked on the grill every night which is nice because there really aren't dining options in Volcano. There are a couple restaurants in the National Park itself. The patio is very nice for dining if the weather is pleasant. It is quite secluded so if that is what you are looking for then you should love it. Be aware that at the last turn you will be on a dirt road, but you don't have to drive far on it. We listened to their advice to grocery shop in Hilo before we arrived at the property. It was very good advice.

Quick Island Tour

Property was perfect for our adult family of 5. We were able to make day trips to the National Park, and other national monument sites (drove the whole island) skirting the rain best we could. Property was gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious. Loved the ammenities and the views.

Nice location close to Hawai’i Volcanoes NP

The house has a ton of space compared to other options and was quite private (the Dancing Bamboo Cottage was not occupied during our stay). We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen! The property description is spot on regarding grocery options—be sure to stock up in Hilo or Kona if you want to cook meals since the two stores in Volcano only have the very basics and prices are much higher than in town.
