We spent three evenings with Gary and Marianne in December 2015. We were welcomed in the driveway by Gary upon arrival who instructed us on where to park and helped us with our bags. Their home is both beautiful and clean. We had the room in the front of the house, perfect for us, a couple who left early and returned late. We had arrived around dinner time and they advised us to try their favorite sushi spot, Nuka (3 miles away). We are sushi snobs and Nuka knocked our socks off, it was FANTASTIC! Gary and Marianne are gracious, friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Upcountry, where the home is located, is the perfect place for a couple who wants to be 30-45 minutes from any part of the island. Close to Paia. We look forward to our next visit to Maui and would happily stay with Gary and Marianne again.
