We had a great stay with the very nice welcoming hosts, Denise and her feline lover Benito. We really enjoyed that she was open to conversations and that she gave us many great suggestions on restaurants and cafes in Makawao, Paia, and Kula. Location was perfect for our Haleakala sunrise bike tour and the trip to Hana. We felt bad for being up so early both mornings but she was very nice about that too. The roosters in the neighborhood were ready to go by 4am too, but she also provided earplugs in the room for those not intending to be up that early. Having the private bathroom (with the showerhead on a hose :) ) inside the room was super convenient. We were very glad that we stayed here and explored the beauty of the upcountry and the scenic road to Hana! Thank you!!
