Mahana House Country Inn

Mahana House Country Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I wish I could give this place more than five stars! Luxurious and peaceful, with very well appointed rooms and endless thoughtful amenities. Very kind hosts (the cats and the humans alike). My husband is allergic to cats and had no issues in the cat-free room, while I very much enjoyed visiting with the cats on the well decorated lanai’s and grounds. A magical stay from start to finish. Mahalo!"
