Rustic yet modern Upcountry retreat with breathtaking views!
Permits BBMP2019/0006 & SUP2 2019/0003 GE-081-730-0480-01 & TA-081-730-0480-01 This is a BnB not a STRH Owners live on property.
Aloha, sorry but at this time we are not hosting to families with children younger than 12 Mahalo.
This is a NO SMOKING property. Mahalo.
Our Jungalow Cottage is 780 square feet and overlooks breathtaking views of Haleakala Ranch and west Maui.
This area of Hawaii is special and unique. It is a very different experience, one of the mountain. We are on 2.5 acres and nestled upon the slopes of Haleakala (meaning house of the sun in Hawaiian). The summit of Haleakala is at 10,023 ft and is a must see while on Maui. We are at approximately 3000 ft and surrounded by cattle ranches and forrest.
Hiking and mountain biking trails are near by. Wild pheasant, deer, pigs and Pueo (hawaiian owl) are often seen. This is a very special place on Maui and only really described by being here in person yet only 8 min. from the town of Makawao.
Our guests are welcome to use the swimming pool, hot tub and dry sauna at will according to our house rules. Please note that use of the pool, hot tub and dry sauna are private if reserved via our shared calendar app.
Guests may also wander the sprawling property planted with many aromatic plants such as Rose Geranium, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Grass, Rosemary and others. There are also Avocados, Lemons and limes for our guests to enjoy when in season.
Because of the natural beauty and peace afforded by this amazing place we encourage you feel that solitude and to please respect the same of others. We are however excited to meet our guests and get to know each other. It becomes a more personal experience for all parties. Of course if you want to be private please do, we are always available to answer any questions or to help in anyway. Just text or call.
Your one bedroom B&B Jungalow cottage also shares the property with our 3/2 Pualani Hale. You can see that listing here: https://www.vrbo.com/2252398?unitId=2816964
In order to respect each others privacy while using the facilities, we have adopted the use of a shared calendar app. When reserving use of the pool, hot tub and sauna, it is strongly recommended we all use it. You can reserve your private time as desired or leave a note for others to join if you don’t mind company.
We do attract a lot of honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries, so it is our intent to offer each of our guests the same opportunity to experience the peace, tranquility and romance that our property offers.
As you will learn, sound travels incredibly far up here so please keep your voice low while outside. And please no business calls poolside. We do however want you to let loose and have fun so it is really about communication and respect of others expectations. Please see our house rules below. Mahalo...
