We enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Crater Rim Cabin. It is situated on a beautiful yard within a mile or two of the park. It is comfortable and probably the cleanest place I have stayed at since Austria (where the maids were hovering in the hallway hoping for a chance to clean). The decorating is bright and cheerful....

The cabin is a two room rustic log cabin, but is very cozy and comfortable. Barry and Jim make you feel very welcome and Barry in particular gave us a lot of useful information about things to do and where to eat. The road to the cabin is very bumpy and I was really glad I was driving a rental,... More

My family spent a couple of nights at the Crater Rim Cabin while visiting Volcanoes National Park and we loved staying there. Barry and Jim are "the hosts with the most". They make you feel very welcome and at home (kitchen was stocked with breakfast items), and they give you great recommendations on things to do and places to eat.... More

I can't say enough good things about the Crater Rim Cabin. We stayed for two nights with our kids (8 and 10) as a base to explore the Volcano National Park. It was perfect! It is a little chilly at night but the heated blankets and gas fireplace took the chill off nicely. The kitchen was stocked generously with breakfast... More

Stayed two nights here while visiting the Volcano National Park. Unfortunately, we seemed to arrive during a damp, rainy period. The drive over from Waikoloa was rather wet. The cabin is located on a very bumpy road right off the Volcano Golf Club. It is located at 4000ft elevation so it is cooler. Especially when rainy or wet. It would... More

We stayed three nights at the Crater Rim Cabin. The setting is glorious - it really is a log cabin surrounded by trees, but although it feels very secluded and remote, the owners' house is just a few yards away (though all but invisible) and the owners are on call by intercom all the time. It's quaint and rustic in... More

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Crater Rim Cabin. This was our second visit - we loved it so much the first time we absolutely had to come back. Our hosts, Barry and Jim go above and beyond to think of everything a visitor could possibly need while visiting this part of the Big Island. They... More

Crater Rim Cabin is a wonderful accommodation for anyone who loves to cook and/or wants to explore the wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on foot. The cabin is located on the "dry" side of Kilauea volcano and is meticulously maintained by Jim Griggs and Barry Stokes. The quiet surroundings feature a beautiful garden and landscaping all done by the... More

Tired of hotels and resorts, I booked the cabin based purely on the previous tripadvisor reviews, assuming that it couldn't be as good as everyone had described. But it is all of that, and more. We stayed for 4 nights, which wasn't long enough. I think everything on the Big Island could be a day trip from here, so if... More
