Hale Kokomo was exactly what we needed: a lovely, peaceful refuge after two days of hiking. The Mountain View room was wonderful: beautifully furnished and decorated, very clean, with a very comfortable bed, high ceilings, and big airy windows. The bathroom is also very nicely decorated, with a very spacious shower and wonderful shower head. The house has a wonderful peaceful feeling about it overall: it's almost like something out of a storybook. I cannot recommend it enough.

The location is also perfect, just a short (5 minute) drive into Haiku, and easy access to Haleakala and the airport. Also, very near to Baldwin Beach, which was my favorite beach of all the ones we visited.

Marianne was such a gracious host: I felt so welcome from the moment we arrived, and I so loved chatting over coffee in the beautiful kitchen in the morning. While my stay was short (just 1 night), Hale Kokomo and Marianne made quite an impression, and I can't wait to visit again.
