My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Our experience on Maui was definitely enhanced by the charm of the gingerbread house. The serenity and comfortably cooler climate upcountry was a nice change from the hustle and bustle and heat along the beaches in Kaanapali. The property itself is very peaceful as a place to relax and tune out the world. It is exactly the place to retreat if you are looking for a setting that will help keep your "real world" stresses from finding you on the island. While we found the property serene, we did not find it too isolated. We found it conveniently located for exploring all over the island. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Maui.
