The location of Gary and Marianne's home was ideal for exploring up-country Maui. Close to Makawao and a short 15-min. drive to the N. Coast (Haiku, Paia, Ho'okipa Beach Park, etc.). Also we took a short drive further uphill past the Piholo Ranch Zipline tour to a fun day hike at Waihou Spring Forest. The room was very clean and comfortable, located directly off the kitchen and shared bathroom. The charming older house has been beautifully restored and filled with interesting artwork and decor. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and fun to get to know.
