The hosts were friendly and responsive. The room and house were cute and as pictured. The house is close to Makawao, and about a 15 minute drive from Paia. It was a great base for our Haleakala adventure. Marianne helpfully suggested we check out the local farmers market on Saturday before we drove up, which was a great tip. The bed was slightly soft for our taste, but overall a great place to stay for exploring upcountry Maui!
