Aloha! E komo mai. Welcome to our Hawaiʻi Island home, or hale (pronounced HA-LAY). Located in Volcano Village, and just minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we invite you to make our fully permitted house your home away from home during your next visit.
Hale Hubner Treehouse Cottage is perfect for friends, couples, and small groups or families that wish to experience the peaceful Volcano lifestyle at its best. We also offer a wonderful retreat for kama'aina looking to get away. Comfortably nestled in the lush hapu'u fern and ohia rainforest, you will find our location offers relaxing comfort and privacy all the while keeping you close to the variety nearby attractions the Big Island has to offer.
Our house is a cosy 750 sq ft studio-style custom-built 1 bed/1 bath that sleeps 2-4 people comfortably. The warm pine wood interior naturally juxtaposes the green views of lush vegetation visible from all the large picture windows throughout the house. A spacious lanai greets you as you exit the house, and provides excellent views of the vibrant stars during the dark evenings.
A master bed area is walled off for your privacy, and a full-size futon in the main living area folds out to provide a second bed for additional travellers. The main living/sleeping area is located on the second level of the house and is only accessible by stairs; therefore, we are unfortunately not accessible for visitors with disabilities that prevent the climbing of steps. For families looking to stay with us, we prefer there be at least one adult per child, if possible.
Volcano is situated at 4000 ft elevation in ʻōhi'a and hapu'u rain forest. This means that the climate is not quite what most people expect when they think of Hawai'i. It is cooler in Volcano (upper 70's in daytime to 50's in evenings and even cooler during winter months), so bring some cooler weather clothes so that you don't miss out seeing the volcano at night. Also, bring a jacket or rain poncho so that you do not miss out on outdoor activities because of rain or random shower. We have electric heaters and heated mattress pads in the home, but Treehouse Cottage is best-heated by our large wood burning stove. If your stay will fall during December through February, and you are not sure about operating a wood stove or sensitive to cold climate, please reach out to me before booking or consider looking at our Fern Cottage, which is also in Volcano and has a gas stove for heating and is more insulated. We provide starters, kindling and wood to help you on the first night, especially if you are arriving later in the evening. There are stores in Volcano Village and in the National Park that have firewood and additional starters for sale. If you have any questions, please donʻt hesitate to reach out. We want you to have the best comfortable stay possible! We strive to provide a warm and inviting stress-free yet affordable alternative to the big resorts. We hope you like what you see here and choose Hale Hubner Treehouse Cottage for your next visit to the Big Island. If this property is unavailable, or if you're looking for more space for your party, consider taking a look at our other Volcano property (VRBO #1457205). Mahalo!

The property suited us perfectly- it had a cabin like feel with modern amenities. Clean, well presented, well stocked with dishes and basic supplies. Easy access to Volcano National Park. Very relaxing, we wished we could have stayed longer!
Excellent jungle experience! Used as a hub for Hilo/Volcano area day trips and it was perfect for what we wanted—an immersive more local vibe experience.
This unit is very special - it was, by far, the best of the three VRBOs we stayed in, during our two weeks in the islands. The location in the middle of the rain forest, is beautiful. The drive to Hawaii Volcanos NP takes less than 10 minutes. There are other houses along the road to the main highway, but the separation is such that there is no noise from other units. The living space is on the second floor, while the lower level provides covered parking. The unit has a very large combined living room/dining area/kitchen. All areas are well supplied. There is no central heating, but there are several local space heaters, including a propane "fireplace." The queen bed also has mattress heaters. The owners have labelled all appliances with thorough instructions, and included a multi-page notebook with information and instructions.
There were 2 minor drawbacks: the road from the unit to the highway is in pretty poor shape, so one must drive 8-15 MPH for most of its length; the padlock on the gate to the property is difficult to open and close, especially if one has a little arthritis in one's hands. We would recommend that a better option be provided.
The host was very welcoming. He let us know ahead of time the dryer was not working. When we had issues connecting to the WiFi he responded very quickly The house was clean. We enjoyed the different coffee making selections. The heating pad on the bed was a nice addition. Plenty of towels and beach towels.
The house was so beautiful, clean, organized, surrounded by trees, ferns and birds. Couldn’t have asked for more, the host thought of everything. Close to Volcano Nat’l Park. The best was we saw an eruption on our last night there!! Would definitely stay again.
This was a wonderful place to spend a few nights! It is quiet, peaceful, and roomy. The bed was the most comfortable we found on the entire island and the kitchen is well stocked.
The treehouse is a wonderful tropical retreat minutes from Volcanoes National Park. It is located in a quiet neighborhood where wild pheasants roam and the stars are lovely at night. The house itself is very comfortable, and it is easy to feel at home.
House was clean and had everything that we needed for our two night stay. Once we found the house, it was an easy 5 minute drive to/from Volcano National Park entrance. Enjoyed having dinner at Volcano House, picking up lunch at Rico's Taco Shop and made-to-order subs at Kilauea General Store that we brought to the park. We will be back..
Staying in the treehouse was very memorable! Waking up to the lush fauna surrounding us and having breakfast on the lanai was very pleasant. The host did an incredible job explaining everything at the treehouse and communicating throughout our stay. We had no troubles and appreciate Matt sharing his unique space.
Great place to stay when visiting Volcano National Park
Location, location, location is what gives it 5 stars in our mind. Pretty cool cabin, being raised as it is makes it seem you are staying in a jungle. Plenty of extra blankets and the wood stove works great. All of the basic necessities, clean and comfortable. Being so close to the park it allowed us to hike around during the day, go back to the cabin for dinner and a break and go back to the park later in the evening after dark to view the volcano off of devastation trail.
The listing is totally accurate, it's not fancy but it's clean, comfortable, well stocked, and a super fun experience. I have to note, that binder was the most comprehensive one I've ever seen. I was incredibly impressed.
This great little house on the outskirts of Volcano Village feels off the beaten track and yet very close to the entry to Volcanoes National Park. Huge windows and a deck allow you to see the giant ferns and trees that surround the property. The house is well-equipped and charmingly rustic. We were fortunate to have excellent weather for our visits of the park. We definitely recommend Treehouse Cottage for anyone looking to stay in this area.
Almost off-the-grid, very quiet, down a long dirt road, in a gorgeous fern forest. This is an idyllic place to get away from it all and still be very close to volcano natl park. Bring groceries. Conserve water: it's rainwater collected on the property.
We are very happy we stayed at the treehouse! It is just the right comfort level for 2 easygoing people, being a grandmother/granddaughter twosome.
Everything worked as expected. The outside deck was delightful and the view wonderful the big windows. We enjoyed seeing interesting birds ie. the Kalij Pheasants near the road everyday.
I totally recommend staying at this pleasant cabin!
We stayed here for a couple nights when we went to Volcanoes National Park. It was less than ten minutes to park entrance. We felt like we were staying in a treehouse in the jungle. Very peaceful and most of the time all we could hear were birds and frogs. We had one small problem with a GFI outlet tripping when we arrived, but we called the owner and it was taken care of that night. The kitchen was well stocked and the futon had a great mattress. Really enjoyed everything here!
This house felt just like a tree house nestled in the jungle. We loved the small sleepy town of volcano, but also liked being just about 8 minutes from the volcano national park entrance. The house was very clean, cozy and yet spacious for just the two of us. We kicked off our honeymoon with three nights in this beautiful home so that we could explore volcano national park. We loved every minute of it. I would definitely recommend buying groceries in Hilo or Kona before you come, as restaurants are limited as well as places to get groceries.
