A quiet and removed mountainside ranch in the shadows of Mauna Kea, Mana Ranch is an idyllic retreat. There are two rooms available in the main house and a separate "paniolo cottage" with a kitchenette, which sleeps four. Rooms are clean and comfortable, if not overly stylish, with a pleasant blend of Hawaiian accents. The spa room is a nice touch, especially with its views of Mauna Kea, and its private shower and bath come in handy if your neighbors across the hall in the main house are bathroom hogs—the two bedrooms share a bathroom. Pros: free Wi-Fi and in-room DVD players, enclosed outdoor hot tub with Mauna Kea views, great prices. Cons: shared bathrooms, somewhat tired decor.
