Kamaka Cabin -A rainforest retreat near Natl. Park

Tucked away on 3 quiet acres of native rainforest, this peaceful Big Island vacation rental is just 2 miles from Volcanoes National Park—the perfect cabin retreat to unwind with family and friends.

This home has been purposefully built out of beams and cedar boards, giving it the unique ability to naturally weather the moisture and environment of the rainforest while amplifying its connection to the surrounding forest.

The moment you step inside, soaring ceilings with tongue-and-groove cedar draw your eye toward a massive wall of windows that frame an immersive view of the Ohia forest (a native Hawaiian tree) beyond.

The open-concept living room—furnished with a cozy couch, blankets, and chairs—is ideal for curling up with a book in the misty quiet of the rainforest. It flows into a rustic yet highly functional kitchen equipped with all the amenities you need to prep, cook, and entertain.

Head upstairs to enjoy an even more immersive forest view through the windows. This level also features a smart TV and couch for movie nights, a daybed perfect for afternoon naps or extra guests, and a full bathroom with a shower.

Back on the main floor, three bedrooms are located down the hallway. The master bedroom includes a comfy king-size bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower. The other two bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds—share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
The property is shared with another Airbnb listing. Please keep outside noise to a minimum.

We had a fantastic stay at Kamaka Cabin! Its convenient location near Kīlauea made it perfect for visiting the volcano both during the day and in the evening. The cabin was incredibly clean and spacious, making it ideal for larger groups. Next time we're in the Volcano area, we’ll definitely book Kamaka Cabin again!

It was absolutely amazing. An incredible peaceful setting. It was like being alone in a tree house in a tropical forest. It was very kid friendly with games and puzzles. The hosts were amazing. Very unobtrusive but very available for any needs. Location was very close to volcano national park and very convenient. Definitely recommend for a stay near volcano national forest.

Volcano stay

We had a good time at the Volcano National Park and did several hikes. The place was close to the park and communications with the manager was good. Nice big living room and outdoor patio that we enjoyed.

Comfortable spacious casual

Great house with plenty of space. Voluminous vaulted ceilings in the main room with massive window wall, great inside outside feel. Five minutes from everything in town. House manager lives downstairs and was very welcoming, made us feel at home.

National Park

Plenty of space. A little musty inside. Parking is a bit tight if all three units are occupied. Had issues with water cutting off, and it took quite awhile for hot water to develop for showers. Great location to Volcano National Park. House just needs a few upgrades, but it was fine.

Family time

We enjoyed Kamaka cabin…the spacious second floor and the loft. The games were very much appreciated… especially since it rained day and night . My only concern the outside light near the stairs going up to the second floor , does not light up. Making it hard to see at night in the dark…we had to use our phones for light .
