Summary: I always have a wondeful time when I stay at MJTH, the hosts are always welcoming and responsive. It's become my home away from home. The outside space is a great place to relax and read one of the many books provided about Hawaii, the inside is spacious, warm and comfortable.It's just a few miles from beautiful ocean views and market and pizza close by in Pahoa.
