Rain Forest setting
The house was spacious and over nice. One room had mold and could not be slept in due to the smell. They had a dehumidifier in the room, but did not eliminate the smell.. The house was mostly clean, but could use a little extra cleaning, bathrooms and kitchen especially.The owner is very nice and very good with communication. We enjoyed the location of the house, at the end of the street, so not any traffic. The only other thing was we had 7 adults and 2 children and they left out 6 towels for us to use for a week long stay with no laundry soap to wash.

Large home with everything you need
We had a great stay. The home was very large and homey. It was clean, the hot tub was a plus, and the location was a very short drive to the Volcano National Park. I traveled with my wife, our two boys (ages 5 and 2), my father-in-law, and brother-in-law, there was plenty of room for all and my kids enjoyed the spacious back yard.

Super nice property
We really enjoyed our stay at this volcano house. It was large enough for us to spread out and have some space, but not too big. The host was easy to communicate with, and seemed eager for us to be happy with the rental. It was pretty cool for Hawaii, but the rental has a wood stove and the host left a small supply of wood. It kept the place warm in the evenings. If you have a group this is a great rental.

The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Kitchen very stocked and were able to cook every night for ourselves. Very private location. Was a drive to any activities but we didn’t mind. Not the “touristy” side of the island. Nice place for couples or large groups. Would definitely stay again. Overall we had a fantastic stay.

Once in a lifetime
House and grounds are beautiful! We loved it. The only negatives were the noise created by the catchment system and whatever critters were under the house/garage area scratching and clawing for hours on end. I slept in the bedroom closest to the laundry room and the critters kept me awake for large portions of most nights! This was a once in a lifetime trip for my whole family. Staying at Creme de la creme made the trip a huge success. The bag of gifts that were left for us was an added, unexpected lovely bonus! Thank you!!

Spacious house close to the National Park
Our three couples plus one had a comfortable stay here. Very close to the National Park and just a short drive to Hilo. Loved the large hot tub and the chorus of frogs at night. Nice large dining room table around which to share our meals and a well-equipped kitchen. And a large couch in the living room that accommodated us all!

2023 Family Vacation
It had been over 5 years since we had been able to gather as a complete Family. Active Duty member, Business owners, and full-time parents. We all gathered in Volcano, to enjoy time away to relax and visit another Island of Hawaii. Creme de la Creme accommodated all of us perfectly (10-7 adults and 3 children (one infant). We were able to prepare our breakfast and Dinner meals with ease in the kitchen (after securing all the needed supplies in Hilo). It was awesome to be able to all gather daily in the am and enjoy a meal, then at the end of the day with dinner completed for us to relax and enjoy the family time. Thank you for quickly responding to my inquires when made and for allowing or vacation time. Sorry about all the leftover groceries, we kind of over shopped, better to have more than not enough.

Awesome house close to Volcanoes National Park!
Beautiful spacious home with backyard/patio area with hot tub! Literally in a rain forest (including rain while we were there), but the hot tub is covered - no problem! Only minutes away from the park, so we were able to beat the crowds. (You definitely need to see the lava in the early, early morning - like we did - or at night.) The place had everything (and more!) than we needed.

just ok but could be great with more TLC
Nice house in great location but in need of some maintenance. The hot tub was a nice plus. However, the house itself was quite dated and could use a deep clean. Bring your own pillows at a minimum (dust on bathroom baseboards, stuff like used bandaids under beds), stained lampshades, and at best dim lighting. On a sunny day (we had none) with all the curtains wide open like the pictures, it might not be as noticeable but on grey days, the house needed better lighting. The front door seemed not well grounded and the security pad numbers stuck. For the price I expected better but it is one of the few places with 4 bedrooms and very easy to get to and from Volcano National Park. With a little TLC this could be quite nice.

Nice Place to Stay with Some Maintenance Issues
First, the good: This is a nice big house set in a lush rain forest. The living room has a comfortable seating area and the TV is enormous. The kitchen is well laid out with a huge refrigerator, a gas stove and a dishwasher. In the back yard, the Weber gas grill worked perfectly to grill some steaks we bought in Hilo. The not-so-good: The water system's pump is really loud and runs often. This would be a major issue if we needed to use the bedrooms on the water tank side of the house; the pump is loud enough to interfere with sleep. We only used the master bedroom on the other side of the house, so it wasn't as much of an issue, but the pump can be heard throughout the house. In the kitchen, the over-the-stove microwave failed at some point, and was replaced by a counter-top unit. Now there's no vent fan over the stove, which is a problem for cooking, say, bacon for breakfast. The outdoor light fixtures in the front of the house have burned-out bulbs and the driveway is completely dark at night. The wood stove is out of order. Its flue was removed and living room heat was provided by two space heaters. The hot tub water level was too low and when the jets were turned on, water sprayed all over the place. This is a nice house in a great location, but it's in need of maintenance.

The house is in a great location and the space is great for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying your family. There is typical wear and tear around the house, and some of the hardware is in need of an update. However, on balance, the location, quiet, and comfort override the small shortcomings.

House has promise
This place does not sleep 12, there is no sleeper sofa but instead the extra “beds” are broken thin futons without sheets. Main bedroom bed is broken and bows in the middle where the main support is broken. Keypad didn’t work and check in instructions were not correct. We had to figure it out bec host wasn’t (still hasn’t) responded. A good portion of the lights don’t work or are burned out including the main lights in the kitchen and one bedroom. Hot tub had debris in it. The neighborhood is cute and the house has promise with a little TLC. Beautiful fairly private grounds. Kitchen was decently well appointed. Coffee was appreciated. Good location ~10 mins from park.

Aloha Susy, I am terribly sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. I have double checked with the housekeeper and neither of us have any missed calls, text or emails from you during your stay. She has checked the keypad, which was working fine, and replaced the batteries just for good measure. It's important to follow the instructions provided and wait until you hear the deadbolt unlock before opening the door. The bed frame has been replaced and we had an electrician come out to address the problem of the malfunctioning lights. Two sets of sheets and plenty of extra blankets and pillows are always kept in the master closet right above the cubby where the futons are stored. There's a small label on the shelf indicating that this is what they are for. I really wish we had heard from you about your discomfort. We would have done everything in our power to rectify any problems you encountered. My apologies again and safe onward travels.

Great potential just need some talc.
This is an ok place with a nice location but details make it not so ok . Some lights didn’t work ( I presume burned out bulbs but no replacement bulbs ). Towel rack fell under weight towels ( not a new problem as other broken towel racks in laundry room). Hot tub was nice feature but the chemicals were so strong that it caused severe coughing. A few extre pillows would have mmade guests who need a bit of elevation for a good night’s sleep would have appreciiated those as well. Loved having acccesss to such a nice house—it just needs a little attention.

Great Location
The proximity to Volcano National Park was amazing! The weather was WET!!! I cannot imagine what the rainy season is like as there were only a few dry hours in the 6 days we stayed. The layout of the property was fantastic and suited our needs perfectly. The one complaint was the cleanliness of the home. If there is a service I could not tell! Also, the mattress in the master could use replacing. The kitchen was a great size and had ample appliances. Bring spices and other pantry items as there are none supplied. Also bring laundry detergent if you are staying for any length of time. This is not supplied nor are facial tissues.

Almost but not quite. Needs more TLC
Big house, but not maintained well. Multiple issues with state of repair and cleanliness. Hot tub was a mess. Cover damaged from chemicals, water logged and broken no working filter. Even though they seem to fill it fresh, it is out of repair. Master bath is in need of tub surround repairs. Cooking pans had food residue. Many small things that need attention. Cluttered and dark interior. Couch is too old and needs update - a bit musty and sagging.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Thomas. We are currently waiting for replacement items to be shipped, including a new hot tub cover and sofa. Shipping delays have made this a tedious and lengthy process and I apologize for any discomfort. The hot tub repairman was just out at the house to fix the filter. I will let the owners know they will need to call him back and have forwarded your other commentary to them as well. I do hope you enjoyed your time in Volcano all the same and thank you sincerely for your feedback. It helps us to address any issues in the house and strive to provide the best experience for all our guests.

Great location
We loved the proximity to Volcano NP- easy yto get there, especially for night lava pool viewing! The place was spacious for our family of 5, but not very clean- bathroom floors dirty and dirty dishes in the cupboard. We knew about the oven being broken ahead, for which we were grateful. However, we did not read closely enough that laundry would not be available with a two-night stay which was a major issue for us; the owner refused to budge on our request so we apologize if you ended up on the plane next to us in our days old socks and underwear. There were some minor other repairs that should be done (loose towel bar in the bathroom, tv controls/sound took two teenagers an hour to get to work, door lock was super tricky). For the amount we paid, expected better upkeep and access to laundry!!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Unfortunately, the guests directly before you were extremely hard on the house and the housekeeper really struggled to get everything prepared properly for your arrival. The door lock and loose towels racks, which were also a casualty of this heavy use, have since been repaired. We do provide a house manual booklet (right next to the TV) to explain how to use all electronic devices in the house. The replacement oven, after several shipping delays, is scheduled for installation in the last week of January. I am sorry that you were unhappy with our policy for access to the laundry room. As you mention, this is noted clearly in our listing so that guests can plan appropriately. Thank you again for your feedback and we are happy you enjoyed your time in Volcano!

Secluded rainforest getaway
Very lovely house, with warm interior décor, lots of places to sit, relax and beautiful landscaping that keep it from feeling like a rental. The proximity to the Volcano Nat'l Park was terrific, and we enjoyed the huge screen TV in the living room to recap our days' adventures by casting our pictures in a "slide show". Note that one of the bedrooms is noisy with a motor (already noted in other reviews) and the bed isn't great. The house manager brought over a blender (a must-have in the tropics, IMHO) as requested, and tried valiantly to scrub the hot tub clean for the first couple of days (and draining and refilling 2x) after previous guests had used greasy sunscreen, so we didn't use it as much as we might. There remained a slight oily sheen to the tub, but that didn't stop us once it heated up (see: blender). She also recommended a pop-up fish monger near Hilo to buy fresh-caught fish - delish! Advice to future visitors: This house was stocked with a limited supply of paper products, and as six of us who stayed four nights, we quickly ran through the one roll of paper towels. So make sure to buy some, as well as paper napkins, once you land in Hilo/Kona. Also, despite the laundry "access", we weren't given laundry soap, so pack a few pods or buy a small bottle. I wish this was clarified in the Amenities listing. Overall, a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood. I loved the rainforest feel!

Aloha and thank you so much for your lovely and helpful review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back again. Mahalo as well for your patience with the hot tub. We used to hang a little sign in the gazebo reminding guests to shower off before getting in, but this wasn't the most attractive so we took it down. Sunscreen (especially the mineral-based and reef safe variants) are so hard to clean up properly. Perhaps we'll have to revisit the sign idea. To clarify for future guests, we do provide a generous starter set of paper products, though very large groups and longer stays may have to supplement. We try to strike a healthy balance between comfort and sustainability, as we have found that guests will use everything that is provided, no matter the quantity. The same goes for laundry detergent and fabric softener, which is why (paired with scent sensitivities and preferences) and we longer offer these products. I will certainly make a note of this in our amenities list. Finally, the sound that can be heard in the 1st Queen room is the water pump, which is an unfortunate but essential element of life in the Hawaiian rainforest. Every property on this part of the island has one and even though we have taken measures to dampen the sound, it's not possible to eliminate it completely. It was truly our pleasure to welcome you and your family and thank you again for taking the time to leave us your feedback. Aloha and a hui hou!

We loved coming back from 6+ hour hikes to relax in the tub while covered from the drizzle. The rainforest surrounding the house is so beautiful and quiet.

This is a beautiful house, and the hot tub is fantastic. The garden is lovely. We had a frustrating hiccup checking in because they did not provide the access code on vrbo, and vrbo could not contact the listed manager. Neither could we. We drove to the house and saw a different name and phone number for a property manager next to the front door. Thank god, because VrBO was about to book us four hotel rooms for the night. Everything else about our stay was lovely, but they should really provide the access code to the vrbo reservation for guest’s convenience.

Perfect Birthday Weekend Getaway
This property exceeded my expectations! It was such a beautiful home, inside & out. Loved every detail that went into it. All the different art, sculptures & furniture were beautifully designed & placed throughout the whole property! I could tell the owners enjoy Japanese art which is amazing in itself! The hot tub was also one of the best ones I’ve ever relaxed in. Myself & my guests really enjoyed themselves & with everything going on in this world right now (COVID-19, political negativity, etc.) this getaway is exactly what we all needed. It’s just perfect! A birthday I will cherish & remember forever. I was born & raised on the Big Island and when life happens, sometimes you forget how beautiful & precious this island really is. Being out in Volcano area is so magical & the energy out there is so revitalizing to the soul I will never take this place for granted. Mahalo for sharing your space. I look forward to going back! =)

Absolutely gorgeous home
This is a comfortable, very private, and beautifully appointed house, very conveniently located to Volcanoes National Park. Just a couple of things to be aware of: - There is no house-wide heat. There is a temperamental wood stove in the living room, and electric blankets in the bedrooms. We visited in early March, the low was in the high 50's, and the electric blankets were more than enough for sleeping; but an alternate option would have been nice for the mornings and evenings. - One of the queen bedrooms (right next to the garage) has regular motor noise. Our party didn't need that room, so it wasn't an issue for us, but larger parties may want to be aware. Otherwise, the house is great. Comfortable furnishings, lots of space, gorgeous and private back yard, large and modern hot tub, decently stocked kitchen, and much nicer decor than your average vacation home.

Very nice, but needs some tweaks to be 5 star
The house is lovely & close to VNP. We (me, husband & 18yo nephew) recently spent 4 nights. Excellent directions to house. Security system & push button front door lock. Felt very secure there. Had a safe that we could put all our electronics. 4 bedrooms. Master w/ king & large bathroom w/ 2 sinks & plenty of counter/storage space. 2 w/ queen beds. One very small bedroom w/ 2 twins but no closet so not really a true bedroom - suitable for children. 2nd hall bath & powder room. King bed was a bit hard for our tastes but we slept well. Tons of fluffy towels! There were so many that we stored many of them in extra bedroom. All rooms had ceiling fans - nice to use when the windows were open. Volcano is a very moist area so expect some mold smell (no visible mold except on shower curtain). The hot tub was a welcome relief after hiking. Unfortunately water level was a bit low & water shot out of the tub when jets were turned on. When we got in we were able to block the jets w/ our bodies. But forget about trying to keep your hair dry :-) It was also a bit too hot. The temp was 104 & locked so couldn't change. We were out there during a light rain storm & were completely covered by the gazebo. It was very nice. To make this a true 5* experience, I recommend a few easy improvements: - Add more lighting in master - too dark to read at night. Only 2 small lamps next to the bed w/ dim bulbs & dark lamp shades. - TV is at an odd angle - doesn't face the couch (even w/ the swivel). More seating could be added to living room opposite the TV. - Dining chairs too low for table. Even my 6' nephew was uncomfortable eating at table. I'm 5'6" & had to sit on a pillow like a little kid :-) - Very limited supplies. Lots of toilet paper but only 1/2 roll of paper towel (which was so cheap that it didn't absorb spills). In contrast, the condo I rented on the Kohala coast had brand new kitchen sponge, spices, butter, cooking oils, saran wrap, paper towel, napkins, laundry soap, dryer sheets... - No glass dishes w/ lids suitable for using in the microwave. Used plate to cover as lid on bowl to heat up food. Since there weren't that many plates, we had to wash them regularly. No pot holders which made removing hot dishes from microwave quite difficult. - The biggest issue for us was that the pots were terrible. 1 fry pan was absolutely disgusting & couldn't be cleaned. All need to be replaced.

Aloha Ellen, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your time in the house and thank you for taking the time to give us such thorough and concrete feedback about how we can improve for our future guests. To address a few points that you mentioned: - The housekeeper usually leaves several extra rolls of paper towels under the kitchen sink. If you had given her a call she would have brought you over some extras right away. I apologize for this. - Pot holders, extra dish towels, and microwave safe containers are located in the pantry in the kitchen. Perhaps we should leave a little sign indicating this for future guests. Thank you for mentioning that! - Thank you as well for letting me know about the pots and pans. I had no idea they were not in a good state and will purchase replacements right away. Once again, I wish you had let us know while you were in the house and I could have taken care of this for you the very same day as I know how unpleasant it is to not have nice cookware. - We purposely leave the hot tub level a bit low since it can accommodate up to 6 people at a time and we want to avoid spill over onto the gazebo floor which can make it slippery and dangerous. The hose located right across from the gazebo can be used to add water according to personal preference and the temperature lock can be removed by pressing the lock button on the panel and then adjusting the temperature. - It's hard to gauge personal preferences about bedroom lighting but I will look into purchasing reading lights for the bedroom as it is, indeed, pleasant to be able to read at night without straining your eyes. - Mold is something we battle all the time in the rainforest. There's a delicate line we tread when trying to keep it at bay but not overusing harsh chemicals and detergents to do so. I have asked the housekeeper to double check the shower liners and to use the replacements we have on hand if she finds any mold on them. Once again, thank you so much for your helpful tips and we hope you'll come and visit us again sometime! A very warm mahalo, Joey

FANTASTIC PROPERTY
Our family was so excited when we walked into this home! It is exactly as pictured. Beautifully decorated, clean and well appointed. The hot tub is definitely a bonus. Only wish we could've stayed longer!! This is a gem!

A wonderful home like experience for our family reunion
Creme de la Crem was a delightfully appointed house in a leafy and tranquil setting. It hosted out ten family members (including four children/babies) very comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped and heavily used during our stay, the fireplace and hot tub were also great novelties for us and as such we made use of them during our stay. Most of all the location of the house, a vey short drive to the national park was a big draw card for us and allowed us to travel to the park readily. Thanks to Joey and the Team for making the stay so memorable for our family!!

Very Nice Cozy Place to Stay Near Volcano National Park
The house was just as gorgeous as in the pictures. It was in a very quiet and secluded location. We wanted a place to stay near the park so it was perfect for us. There is not much in amenities available in the town of Volcano, but we knew that ahead of time and were prepared. Very nice place, we enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was even bigger than we had expected. The only slight ding is that given the size of this house (4br) and the pretty high rate compared to other options I felt that it was really unnecessary to charge extra per night for any number of guests over 2 people (we were only a family of 4, 2 being children). I would have no hesitation with staying at the house itself another time but might look for a better value if they continue to charge extra for children.
