This was such a delightful cottage to stay at during our time on the Hana side of the island. It was in an extremely convenient location, very clean, and overall super enjoyable. We never met with the owners, but they were very communicative and easy to contact when necessary. They provided very thorough check in/out directions, and everything went very smoothly during our stay. We arrived after dark and the cottage was still quite easy to find with their detailed directions, so we had no problems. It was very spacious, had a lovely deck, and provided all the kitchen supplies we needed, as well as very comfy sheets and towels. Just don't forget to bring your own toiletries! It was also located near a large beautiful stream in the mountain-side. It rained quite a bit while we were there and the heavy water flow yielded an amazing waterfall - it was like our own private sanctuary. Though we did regret a bit not having chosen a place with a hot tub because it was quite chilly compared to the other side of the island. But overall we had a fantastic experience. We loved the banana bread and daily fruit smoothies from the cafe on the property, though its hours didn't really jive well with naps/exploring times so make sure you double check when it's open so you don't miss out! While this is such a lovely place to stay while exploring the natural side of the island and disconnect from the world, make sure you understand what you're getting yourself into. Nothing stays open past 8pm on the Hana side and the Hana Highway is extremely difficult to drive after dark, so there isn't much to do at night. There is also no cell service and minimal internet - use it as a time to get away from your phone! It was lovely and relaxing, but very different from the resort side of the island so just want to make sure people are aware. We had no trouble arriving to the property at night as my husband is an extremely experienced driver, but if you are at all uncomfortable with narrow roads and crazy drivers I would advise against this and make sure to plan your arrival time accordingly. Also, as most food places nearby close early I would recommend stopping near Paia (or earlier) for groceries/snacks just in case on your drive over!
