Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Located in the rural rolling hills above Honokaa, totally off the grid, and nestled in seven beautifully landscaped acres (with a lily pond, fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and a bucolic horse pasture) lies this oasis of luxury and relaxation. Just off a narrow country road, the two-story inn features five posh guest rooms with soaking tubs, gas or wood stoves, phones, and flatscreen satellite TVs, all on photovoltaic solar power. Splurge a little and ask for the Malamalama suite, with a cherrywood sleigh bed, extra-large soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and separate living room. The inn's sumptuous main room has highly polished wood floors, a rock fireplace, and custom Italian sofas, while the Great Room has wraparound glass windows with multicolored glass balloons hanging from the ceiling. Other amenities include nightly wine tasting (featuring different wines every month) with gourmet hors d'oeuvres, a guest kitchenette stocked with a range of goodies (enough to make a meal), and beverages at surprisingly reasonable prices. Complete multicourse gourmet breakfasts are served every morning.
