Loved it here. We slept so well! Very quiet and peaceful. Great for a short retreat to rest. Yummy fruit and bread. Loved the Hot Tub! Coolest view from a room ever! In the jungle!

We spent 2 nights at the Crater's Edge for our 35 anniversary in the Haiku 'cottage'. How do you describe the quiet and beauty of this fablous place in the middle of a tropical paradise? Beautifully furnished room with windows covering two full sides overlooking wild orchids, bromelaids, birds of paradise, and other exotic flowers and vegetation. King Size canopy bed draped with white netting, fully stocked refigerator, fresh fruit bowl with papaya, oranges, local bananas, apples and grapes, coffee maker with kona coffe, microwave, fresh baked banana bread, fire place. My wife absolutely loved this romatic spot. She enjoyed just laying in the canopy bed and looking at the beautiful flowers and vegetation surrounding the 'cottage'. Bathroom is beautiful with glass shower and a seperate spa tub. The proxmity to the volcano national park was about 5 minutes away and Hilo about 35 minutes. Great location for romantic getaway. We want to go back.

We stayed at the Crater's Edge for two nights in June.The home is built in the rainforest, and the wrap-around deck and bay windows really give you the impression of being in the middle of it. We stayed in the NAHELELANI room, which was very clean and comfortable, with luxurious amenities such as a Jacuzzi bath, a large shower, King Size bed, etc. We enjoyed every minute of it.
Our only disappointment was the "Breakfast" part of this "Bed and Breakfast": because of new town laws, breakfast can no longer be served, and we were issued vouchers for a local café. The good news is that there is small refrigerator in the room, a coffee maker, plates and utensils, so we managed to make our own romantic breakfasts.

We stayed at the Crater's Edge for 2 nights and 3 days on the occasion of my daughter's birthday. She loved the cozy, comfy room with a king size 4 post bed and fireplace and enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi very much.

We also took the opportunity to get a lomilomi massage from an excellent professional masseuse at a nearby local spa. Our host Melanie helped to set up the appointment. She is a wonderful and conscientious host.

The main house was also open to us and Melanie made strong local coffee and fresh chocolates. We were even invited to a special piano concert in the living room with about 3 dozen local artists and residents living in Volcano town. That was superb!

One night after dinner we took a ride to the Jagger museum visitor center where we watched the glowing pit of Halemaumau crater send a thick billowing plume of smoke into the moonlight night sky. That was spectacular. Another day we went to Pahala to enjoy the Ka'u coffee festival celebration and on the last day we took a nice half day hike across the lava fields to pu'u huluhulu and listened to the birds while looking out over the volcanic landscape.

It was a wonderful get away to a comfortable, quite, elegant home in a very special part of the Big Island. I would certainly recommend this to friends and family and would come back again.
