At The Crater's Edge

Great stay during our honeymoon. Dave was very communicative and great service. Our room was stocked with light snacks, fresh fruit, water, juices, coffee and tea. Banana bread on arrival day was so good (and I dont like banana's!). Hot tub and fireplace were great for the rainy cool "winter". Not much in the town of Volcano, but it was quaint and quiet. We would definitely stay At the Craters Edge again!

What a remarkable stay. Tucked away in the rainforest you’ll find this cabin retreat with floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors along with amenities like your own balcony/porch, a hot tub, heated bathroom floors, heated toilet seats and even a heated bed. Complimentary snacks, drinks and champagne to top it off! All we could say was WOW. Woken gently by the sounds of roosters, coqui frogs, and rain. If you’re looking for a quiet, non-touristy oasis - this is the place.

This stay was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. Eric & Chris are exceptional hosts who have thought of EVERYTHING. They were very communicative and accommodated our check-in later than originally planned and met us personally to orient us to the property and make local recommendations based on our trip plans. This property is full of luxurious amenities and thoughtful touches like fresh flower garnishes, heated floors, french pressed coffee in the mornings and many more for you to discover. The location is a very short drive to Volcanoes National Park and the property itself is surrounded by lush rainforest plants and wild chickens. The stargazing at night here is epic. The room is also very private and comfortable for couples - absolutely suitable for a honeymoon or other romantic trip. Highly recommend! Mahalo Eric & Chris!

We loved our visit! We stayed At the Crater's Edge for the start of our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The jade suite was perfect. The ambiance of the full height windows and secluded property made it feel like our own personal paradise. Chris and Eric took.great care of us, including several recommendations for where to eat + hike in the national park. We look forward to being back!!!

My husband and I spent four nights here recently. We found it to be a magical oasis which was very restorative. The room was beautiful and fully stocked with breakfast items, coffee, fresh fruit and snacks, all of which can be replenished upon request. We were also provided information by email in advance about local restaurants so that we could make restaurant reservations, given the limited number of restaurants and availability in the area. Our host, Dave, was super welcoming and friendly, responding to all our requests within minutes. When I injured my ankle in Volcano Park, he immediately provided me with ice packs and bandaging. One thing to note: Their concept is to provide total privacy. Therefore, there is no cleaning service provided during one’s stay. There is also a very charming dog on the premises whose occasional barking didn’t bother us, but might be an issue for some. Overall, we were delighted with our choice and highly recommend it to others who want a beautiful retreat near Volcano Park.

This little inn is located just a few minutes drive from the park entrance where there is a hotel on site and a couple minutes drive from Kilauea House where you can dine. You could also stay at either, but I would pick Crater’s Edge for the perfect service. The hosts respond instantly on text, your fridge and fruit plate are filled to the brim and you are greeted graciously (with freshly baked banana bread I might add) and a thorough tour of the beautiful grounds and cozy room. I also received indispensable advice about touring the park, which I followed to the T and had the best time. If you want to know what the definition of hosting is, book your stay at Crater’s Edge.

My wife and I stayed at the Crater's Edge in Feb 2026. It has 2 guest rooms situated in a rainforest type setting. The architecture is beautiful wood and glass immersed in lush flora. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. The king size bed very comfortable. The bath like a high end spa. They also included plenty of complementary food/snacks and drinks. We will go back in the future and recommend it for anyone who enjoys a nice place in a pretty setting. Location is also great for those visiting the national park!

Chris and Erik made our stay memorable in all the best ways. From great hiking and dinner recommendations, to the thoughtful snacks/coffee and tea in the room, to the homemade BANANA BREAD baked fresh every morning… their hospitality is unmatched. Room was clean, spacious and romantic. The hot tub on site was a nice touch after hiking all day! The tree frogs outside made for an incredible experience.
