The master bedroom boasts its own entryway leading to the covered porch, enhancing your experience of private relaxation.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay in the rain forest. The cabin was perfect for us AND we experienced our first ever earthquake (don't worry, they are rare). It was weak but it was enough shaking for us. It did make our trip very memorable! The cabin is close to the park and close to the village. We liked Laneki Brewing, the dining room at Volcano House (no lava but steam vents and some glowing spots after dark), and Kilauea Lodge for lunch. We are from Portland, Oregon, so we are used to rain but it did rain a lot while in the Volcano area and it is so much cooler. Bring a sweater and rain jacket if you are coming from Kona...different worlds. If you are a birder, you will have no problems seeing Kilaj pheasants because we thought they were going to come in our back door!
