Tree House Hotel in Hana
[Ed. Note: hmlauer also wants us to know that mixing booze and tree house hotels can not only be done safely, but it can also greatly enhance your experience. Enjoy]
It is being generous to describe "Tree Houses of Hana" as rustic, but nonetheless we had a really fun experience (probably helped by the amount of alcohol we had with us).
The particular tree house that we stayed in required a 1/8 mile hike up a hill into the forest. The tree house itself had three levels - one on the ground, which is where the firepit, grill and "kitchen" were located, a second floor with two bedrooms, and a "penthouse suite" with a fantastic view of the ocean. There are walls and you can close yourself in with mosquito netting at night (which is essential), but everything is open air - no glass windows. There is no electricity, so you have to get by with the campfire and candles at night. The bathroom is totally outhouse style, with a shower that gives you a lovely al fresco view of the surrounding forest.
The structure itself seemed relatively sound, although the stairs were very steep and required careful maneuvering after a couple cocktails. This is definitely roughing it, and the accomodations are very budget friendly which is particularly good for backpackers.
There isn't really a "reception area." You make your reservation in advance, they send you directions to get there (it's not incredibly easy to find, but the directions are pretty good). And then you just show up! It's not like you need a key...
So this is a great place to stay if you're looking for some adventure in the rain forests of Maui.
