The Lookout is a cozy, peaceful place with an amazing view. You get to enjoy the view from the big main window inside, the eating area outside, and the cool outdoor shower! All view, all the time.
Amanda is also such a thoughtful and friendly hostess. She stocked the place with all sorts of goodies and it went above and beyond to make sure were comfortable and ask us if we needed anything. My wife was a little under the weather for part of our stay and she gave us some soothing homemade teas and invited us to come over and hang out on the main house lanai if we wanted. She made us feel like we were part of the family.
The Lookout is not directly in town. It’s a 15 minute drive down to the main areas, and the roads are a bit winding. Not road to Hana winding, but a bit winding. Something to keep in mind if that makes a difference to you. You definitely don’t feel like you are in the middle of things, which for us, was nice and peaceful. The main part of town can be pretty touristy and this felt more of a local experience, driving past honor system self service fruit stands and cute little towns up on the hill like Holualoa.
I would definitely recommend staying there and we would for sure stay there again!
