The 'Alala at Stained Glass Cottages is a hosted cabin nestled in the heart of Volcano Village, in the rain forest atop Kilauea Volcano, at 4000ft elevation.  This cozy detached, fully independent cottage features an artistic feel with stained glass handmade by local artists, while including upgraded amenities you expect in high-end hotels.  Stained Glass Cottage’s ideal location is only 1/2 mile from the Sunday morning Volcano farmers market and 2 miles from Volcanoes National Park.   For those wanting to venture out for a nighttime hike at the park, I provide umbrellas and flashlights.  This is a rainforest, so you will probably experience a shower or two on your adventure. Being a rainforest there are coqui frogs that sing at night that is unique to tropical climates. Earplugs are provided if they won't allow you to sleep. There is also a white noise machine if their songs are bothersome. Also, there are wild pigs. They are not someone's pets or livestock. Usually they are skittish, but mothers are less scared when with their young. Beware. If it’s the beach you’re heading for, we have you covered with a cooler, beach towels, snorkel equipment, and beach chairs.  If you simply want to hang out at the cottage, there are restaurants that the host can recommend for dine-in or take-out, or there is a grill for your private use. Other amenities include Cal-king size pillow top bed, private parking, free Wi-Fi, 40” Flat screen smart TV, Hulu, washer/dryer with detergent, full-sized refrigerator/freezer, hairdryer, shower,  makeup mirror, Dyson heater, in-room safe, Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detector, ceiling fans, AED on site, coffee bar, EV charger, fresh chemical free rainwater 2 person hot tub, heated bathroom floor and towel rack, and more. Gift basket with local products and discounts included with each stay.
