We LOVED our stay! We would absolutely stay here again. So many thoughtful touches. Thank you!
CHARLES, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful host, beautiful accommodations, all the amenities you would need in a gorgeous rainforest setting.
Barbara, 3-night trip

Fantastic Hidden Gem

We were impressed from the moment we arrived. The setting is amazing, with two of the best hosts around! No details were ever overlooked, from the assortment of snacks to the already prepped coffee. Room was beautiful! We enjoyed getting some recommendations and volcano updates. My only complaint was that we had to leave. We will be back for sure!
Kristen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is surrounded by a tranquil rainforest feel. Room is beautifully decorated and filled with special touches, including fresh baked banana bread and many goodies! 10 mins from volcano national park.
Cathy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This review is long overdue, but the proprietors of this property deserve a shout out. This property was absolutely stunning. Nestled in the rainforest, the October evenings and mornings were cool and crisp, and quiet, but teeming with sounds of wildlife. We were provided with tasty pastries and fruit for our stay. In the daytime, we ventured to the black sand beaches, Kilauea, a farmer’s market, and nearby towns. We absolutely loved our room, which had a fireplace, very comfortable beds, small kitchenette, and good supply of local snacks, local non-alcoholic beverages, and french press coffee and teas. Our stay at Crater’s Edge was the highlight of our Hawaii vacation. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will definitely find our way back to this property. Our only complaint is that the hot tub jacuzzi wasn’t working…..they were waiting on parts to repair it. Highly recommend staying here.

Tree house next to Hawai'i Volcanos National Park

A lovely retreat within a 5 minute drive to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Very convenient and beautiful property, with a wonderful host.
Roberto, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property near Volcano. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful with recommendations for restaurants and scenic routs for our day trips. We look forward to staying again!
Trisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely perfect!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We were there for only two nights at the end of our honeymoon and it was the perfect ending to our Hawaiian vacation! The hot tub was great and the hosts thought of everything to make our stay amazing! We'd most definitely stay here again!

AMAZING!!!

Amazing experience. Chris was so welcoming. The details of the room were perfect- beautiful space, great amenities, clean, and comfortable. Seems like everything was thoughtfully planned including snacks to take on the road, umbrellas, and binoculars.
Natalie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay was truly exceptional. At The Crater's Edge is beautiful and serene allowing us to fully relax and unwind. Our hosts, Chris and Eric, were outstanding in their attention to detail. Their thoughtfulness was evident in every aspect of our experience. This was easily our favorite place to stay while in Hawaii.
Andrea, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just a fantastic place to stay. We rented both rooms and loved every minute of it. Awesome bed, decor, bathroom and snacks. The host were great and very helpful. Can’t say enough about this place.

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property with knock out room and exceptional service. An oasis with every comfort anticipated--and minutes from the park. Would return in a heartbeat!
Thomas, 2-night trip

Pradyumna, 2-night trip

Top notch- attention to details, Chris and Eric could not have been any more hospitable! Our only regret was that we weren’t there longer! Highly recommend, and hope to be back!
Ann, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Eric, Chris, and their property were amazing! My husband and I spent 2 nights of our honeymoon here. Our room was beautiful and incredibly clean. All the details in the room were perfect. Would absolutely recommend this stay if you’re spending time in Volcano!
Calli, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a amazing place! If you are looking for a romantic get away this is the place. They did not miss anything, from the bath to the whirlpool. I was very concerned about staying in a place that was not on the normal path but this place was amazing. Loved everything about it…if you are on the fence about booking it -I highly recommend you take the chance and stay there!
Diane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This stay was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. Eric & Chris are exceptional hosts who have thought of EVERYTHING. They were very communicative and accommodated our check-in later than originally planned and met us personally to orient us to the property and make local recommendations based on our trip plans. This property is full of luxurious amenities and thoughtful touches like fresh flower garnishes, heated floors, french pressed coffee in the mornings and many more for you to discover. The location is a very short drive to Volcanoes National Park and the property itself is surrounded by lush rainforest plants and wild chickens. The stargazing at night here is epic. The room is also very private and comfortable for couples - absolutely suitable for a honeymoon or other romantic trip. Highly recommend! Mahalo Eric & Chris!
Kira, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This rain forest retreat is extraordinary in every respect. Upgraded to a tee; only two guest rooms, immaculately appointed in the heart of orchids and tree ferns. We also stayed at the Mauna Kea at 4-5x the cost, also exceptional but without the personal service and touch. If you have a chance to stay here, it will be memorable
Glen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I can’t say enough great things about this place. The owners are wonderful, and there are thoughtful touches throughout the entire room. There’s nothing quite like falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. Literally 5 minutes from Volcano National Park, and feels secluded but safe. When I come back to Big Island, I’ll definitely go out of my way to stay here again. Thank you Eric, Chris, and Po!
Whitney, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Every detail has been thought of! The room was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and had everything you could need!! You really feel like you have your own private jungle bungalow. Slept like a rock in the comfy bed and the rain on the roof! Eric and Chris were SO great, wish we had more time to chat with them. next time :) It's super close to the park. Will be sending many people their way. Stop looking around and book this place!!
Raechel, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

no working hot tub.

The host did not inform us the hot tub was broken. I wish we were allowed the opportunity to cancel since it was the main reason for our stay. Communication is key. Seems based on another review, this issue was already present.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

If you’re looking for a Boutique, every-last detail thought of, kind of place to stay in Volcano,..this is it! We wish we had booked 3 nights and done our Hilo tour from here! This is not just a place to sleep while you’re touring VNP…At the Craters Edge is your own private jungle resort. We made sure to enjoy the hot tub, lounging around the fire pit, we even used the fireplace in the room every day! The hosts go out of their way to think of everything you might possibly need during your stay. They will even do your laundry for you! We were an 8 min drive…if that…from the VNP welcome center. The best part? It was Adults Only so no kids running around. This is definitely the place to stay when visiting The Big Island!
Jameson, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Nothing wrong with the property whatsoever. The problem is that we were LIED to! This property was advertised on Expedia as having a hot tub which was a major reason for us chosing this unit. This was the most expensive room on the volcano and would have been worth it if they delivered on their promise. Before you book, you'd better make sure everything is in working order. The owners did NOTHING to offer restitution for the shortcoming. BE WARNED!!!
Ronald, 3-night trip

Paradise Found, At the Crater's Edge

Every detail considered and executed flawlessly. It was the full realization of your tropical dream vacation - floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking dense jade forests dotted with comedically perfect pink and red flowers. Our room had a warm seat bidet, a rain-fed shower from their cistern, gratis snacks aplenty, THE most beautiful duvet cover I've ever seen. The birds and frogs chirping their unique songs felt like I was listening to the Calm app all night. Everything was immaculate and, again, every detail was spot-on; you can just tell that this is the type of place that the hosts would hope to stay in. Communication ahead of time with Chris was seamless, and I left hoping that Eric and I would be lifelong friends. Personal note: I am a picky little princess and I left the property with a tear in my eye and looking at dates to come back again for another visit.
