My husband made all the arrangements for our 25th wedding anniversary trip and he made a great choice with the Crater Rim Cabin. We arrived at Volcanoes National Park on a dreary, rainy, chilly March afternoon, but my mood improved dramatically when we checked in at the cabin. It's got great character - somewhat rustic but nicely furnished with a... More

We loved our 3 night stay at Crater Rim Cabin in Feb 2013. Our hosts were so welcoming and had truly thought of everything we could need (including all the baby stuff that comes with travelling with a 9 month old). The cabin was spotless, the stocked fridge was great and we loved all the resource information that was provided.

We stayed at Crater Rim for 2 nights last year and are planning to stay again for our 2013 trip for 3 nights. This cabin is a wonderful gem. It is very peaceful and there is a full kitchen that is stocked with some breakfast items and fruit. The cabin is 5 minutes or so from Volcano Park. We met... More

It is a really charming and cozy place, and we really enjoyed taking advantage of their 1+acre of lush landscaped... More

My family of four (two adults, 2 children aged 9 and 12) recently stayed at Crater Rim Cabin for two nights. We were guided to the cabin prior to arrival by emails and phone by the hyper-organized couple who owns the cottage. We felt very welcomed by a whiteboard in the drive as well as a note and box of...

We had the late flight out of LAX and arrived tired and worn out from traveling all day. We got our luggage in Hilo (LOVE the open-air airport!), grabbed our rental car, and wended our way up 11 to Crater Rim. Jim's directions and maps were perfect although in the dark and drizzle we did wonder if the lonely road... More

My husband and I spent two nights at Crater Rim Cabin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is a great place to come home to after a full day of seeing the sites at Volcanoes National Park. The cabin itself has a lovely homey feel to it and the gardens around it are very nice. The location was very... More
