Stays in Volcano offer a unique experience of sanctuary away from the bustle and beach across most of the Hawaiian state. Of these, Kathryn’s Cottage is the quintessential take of Sanctuary. The custom built, cozy cottage up in the rainforest was a perfect base to explore the artisans of Volcano, the National Park, and other destinations on the east side. There is an effective set of kitchen equipment, coffee, and ice packs in the freezer. Being higher in altitude and in a rainforest, it is chillier and wetter than most of Hawaii. There is a space heater that worked out well for us, and the mattress has a heater 😍
Kathryn was great to work with and sent us lots of suggestions and info. We met and spoke with her and had a great time; as a long term resident of the region her love of the place and her desire for you to have a great time is evident. Check in can be done in person or late no problem, and we had no issues. Highly recommend!
