Bamboo Heaven is all that and more. If you want to experience authentic Hawaiian spirit and feel what makes the islands so magical, then I highly recommend staying here. There is nothing you will be without as Janice is the most generous and accommodating host that you can imagine. Living in a house made totally of bamboo is quite out of this world, very different than brick and mortar, and somehow better. I stayed in the green room and there was nothing I would have added or changed. The bed is comfy, the water hot and strong, the fruit from Janice's trees yummy, the trade winds are caressing, Israel, the cat, is very special, and the view of the ocean is perfect. I LOVED every minute of my four days there and wish it had been longer. It was very sad to leave. Being upcountry was a gift and my favorite part of the whole ten days I spent on Maui. I can't wait to go back and stay with Janice again. I guarantee you'll feel the same way.
