After spending time in the resort-y area of Maui for a friend's wedding, our stay in Haiku was a welcome breath of fresh (country) air. We loved the quieter, low-key vibe of the area as well as the easy access to the Road to Hana and all of the wonderful natural attractions. Gary and Marianne welcomed us with delicious home-made ice cream and tales about the area as well as the fascinating history of their beautiful home. The home and room had a wonderful, funky personality and we really appreciated our hosts' hospitality and recommendations for things to do/ see in the area. Gary and Marianne have done a great job describing their home in detail in their listing - take the time to read all they've written and, if you're ready to escape the resorts for a slice of "real" Hawaii, you won't regret it!
