The detached 800-square-foot cabana is a destination in its own right: full kitchen with gas range, bamboo flooring, and a hand-crafted cedar sauna built from the finest knot-free clear wood. Guests arrive and don't want to leave. For extended family, or anyone who values their own entrance, the 750-square-foot in-law suite delivers a private bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchenette.

Beyond the gates, Haile Village Center is a short walk away: local restaurants, boutiques, a weekly farmers market, miles of trails, and the fairways of Hawkstone Golf & Country Club. Everything, without giving anything up.
