We chose this location as a good staging place to drive the road to Hana and see Haleakala, and it perfectly suited our needs. After staying a few days in a resort in Wailea, it was a pleasant change to transition to such a quiet and private location. There were great restaurants and attractions in Paia, Haiku, Haliimaile, and Makawao that were easily accessible. Dave and Natalie are great hosts, and the house is well-appointed, well-stocked, and impeccably clean. This was the closest we got to feeling like were Maui locals. Highly recommend.
