Our hosts made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked through the door. There was Hawaiian music playing,beautiful flowers and a welcoming guest tray of goodies on the counter. The rental is very quiet, private, modern, clean and all amenities are included, but Tom was also available to help us when we needed him. . The bed is comfortable and there are plenty of pillows and blankets. A shared washer and dryer are conveniently located outside. There is good grill available if you enjoy cooking a nice steak. It was our first visit to that area of the island so we especially enjoyed exploring Haleakala and " up-country" and returning each evening to our hide-away. We can highly recommend Tom and Vicki's Bamboo Lodge. They are perfect hosts.
