Leo was a great host at Fern Forest. It is a beautiful property, very quiet and kind of out off the beaten path. The house itself is beautiful with 3 to 4 room with their own restrooms and refrigerators. The communal living space is awesome if you get lucky, you may be the only one staying there and will have the run of the entire house I will definitely stay again!

Leon was the perfect host. He made sure we knew where we were headed spent an hour letting us know where and when to avoid the crowds. The house was very nice and spacious. The property was, as the name suggests very forested in a rain forest. The only reason a 5 star was not given was the bathroom needed a lightbulb for the shower and the actual showerhead was about a foot higher than normal. Once these minor problems are fixed, it should/will be better.

The bathroom was disgusting tub dirty and rusty and the caulking around tub was moldy gross. When sitting on toilet I got drip on from the rain, roof leak. This is just an old house with a smell to it. Needs a lot of maintenance done to it.

Fern Forest Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. They owner is very helpful and knowledgeable of things to do an places to see. The property could be a bit cleaner, but we were satisfied with our stay for the price and would definitely stay here again. It is very close to Volcano National Park and about a 30 minute drive to Hilo.

Roomy and private. Great location for Volcanoes

I was warmly greeted and made to feel like home. Leon was very kind and resourceful. He gave me a lot of good travel tips about the island and it’s beaches. I’d definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay, beautiful location, wonderful host.

We loved our stay at the Fern Forest Getaway. The location is beautiful, tucked away in the amazing Fern Forest with lots of space, not far from city activities and surrounded by wonderful sight seeing opportunities. Our Host was very welcoming and helpful with tons of knowledge about the Island history and the best places to visit. Great place for couples getaway or fun with friends and family. I plan to come back next trip. Aloha!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
it was welcoming to pets .but I didn't have a pet,and there was no hot tub and if it was I would not have gotten in it, I was afraid to even get into the shower. Floor mats were dirty , the bathroon window was so dirty that i could not see out of the windows. The croking frogs keep me awake all night. I could not wait to day break to get out of there. There was a lock on one door but the bathroom door which lead in my room did not have a door lock, which ment that the lock on my door waqs irrelevant.I diod not feel safe in that place. The outside doors that entered the house did not lock either
