The Artist Cottage

The Artist Cottage is a perfect getaway nestled among the Big Islands native Ohia trees and lush Hapu'u ferns, only minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where magic begins and the sky never ends. This charming vacation cottage features the art of Bonnie Layton, a local painter whose studio and gallery are right across the street. Samples of her beautiful work can be found on every wall of the Artist Cottage, adding to the warmth and charm of this special place.
