We had an amazing experience at Mae's home. It was truly a unique experience, and we loved all of it. We had a different weather experience each day, which added even more fun to our winter stay. One day of sun with a gorgeous sunset and an incredible view of the stars with very little light pollution, a combo sun and rain with our trip to the thermal beds, and a rainy day listening to the tropical rain and birds sounds. Mae was very knowledgeable and responsive to anything we needed and pointed us in the right direction for some great local experiences, including Uncle Robert's Awa Bar with local food and live music at the Wednesday Night Market. The walk to the coastal cliffs along the lava beds was something we did several times, and absolutely loved that. The thermal pools were an easy drive and worth a stop. Pele's Kitchen in Pohoa was a must breakfast stop and very worth the wait. It was a quiet and peaceful getaway, and we could feel the Aloha 💜
