Marianne and Gary's home is phenomenally welcoming. As some of the other reviews mention, they have guide books available and are very receptive to providing suggestions for suitable activities in the area. I stayed with them one night and had planned to do the road to Hana the next day, but the rain caused me to change my plans. Marianne helped me find another activity for the day. I also enjoyed chatting with Gary and Marianne about their home and beautiful Maui.
