Independent, Wood Valley hotels

"Peaceful, beautiful, clean, cozy but roomy, great staff. "

"It was an excellent stay. We flew to big Island trying to see the volcano erupting! "

"We had a wonderful stay at the Volcano Forest Inn. The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend. "

"Very convenient location. "

"The views were amazing. The hotel was like stepping back in time and was very quaint. Two gift shops offered plenty of volcano-themed souvenirs. The restaurant served an amazingly fresh and delicious buffet breakfast, which we enjoyed while watching the volcano. The omelet chef prepared delicious eggs of your choice right before our eyes. The rooms could use a bit of updating, but they were still lovely!"

"Everything about this other-worldly location makes for a perfect rest day — charming room (hurray for NO TV), a beautiful and quiet location, and a lovely staff. The small gift shop is full of locally curated art and Hawaiiana."

"Great place with such a unique room that really made it for a great stay "

"We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for our family, and even our often sulky teenager had big smiles every time he interacted with any of the animals on the property! Thank you to the host! "

"Very beautiful surrandings. "
