The Gingerbread cottage is a wonderful getaway located in upcountry Makawao. From the moment you step inside you immediately know that this is a very special place. Just outside the backdoor is a small patio area with table and chairs, and a free standing chiminea fire pit.
Outside you are surrounded by lush forest, plants and fruit trees. A stream flows through the property depending on the amount of rain received. It is is both peaceful and relaxing. Inside, a gentle breeze comes in through the windows throughout the day. On a cloud free and moonless night you can see lots of stars through a large picture window above the kitchen area.
One point of interest is a painting of Jimi Hendrix hanging in the bathroom. Rumor has it that he once stayed there while filming Rainbow Bridge. Ask Eve about that! There is no television but you won't miss it. It's a vacation after all. Everything else is there that you could possibly need.
Warning. There are a lot of roosters on the island (there seems to be three for every hen) and you will hear them crowing not just in the morning but also at night. The sound carries in a eerily way so if this is a deal breaker then you may want to stay in a hotel on another island.
Finally, this is our second stay here and we plan on coming again. You will find that Eve is a delightful host with a cheery smile! She greeted us with open arms and made us feel both welcome and at home. Mahalo!
