I was in the Holomakani Room at Mike’s House, which is rarely available. The screened in lanai was m favorite—spent most of my time there when I was home.
This property is clean, quiet, comfortable, and affordable. Whether you are a solo traveler or a couple, the house is within walking distance of downtown Paia and it’s many eclectic shops. Rina is a gracious hostess who will give you info on virtually anything related to Maui and the attractions, SO ASK her.
The town of Paia is located on the road to Hana (yes, I survived the drive to Hana) and in the opposite direction just a few miles is the Haleakala highway, leading up the volcano to a most other worldly site (government telescopes-not open to public) and a 10,000 ft summit.
About 7 miles from Paia is the town of Makawao and you could spend a day there walking through the shops. There are beaches all around the Paia area—
