Spent a week on Maui with a large group of family and friends to celebrate my son's 40th birthday. We loved staying at the Log House.

It's bigger and more luxurious than the photo shows, but the best part about staying there was Eve and her husband Steve. Easygoing, charming and fascinating people, and perfect hosts, they were available when we needed but kept out of the way.

We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Two of the three bathrooms are accessible only by going through someone's bedroom. But come on, how could you complain when there are three bathrooms plus a full laundry room?

The only other downside is getting used to the feral roosters. They don't seem to wait even for daylight to crow.
