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... Pualani Upcountry Aloha!

You really feel a part of Maui rather than a tourist. The view is amazing. It is a bit cooler up island than down at the beach, maybe 5-10 degrees cooler than the beach. I really enjoyed the outdoor shower with a view. Very private and quiet. Very responsive host and check in/out could not have been easier. ##### Scott S. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura J. Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous views Friendly owner greeted us to the property. I wouldn’t advise trying to find the property in the dark, very tricky driveway/road to the house. Beautiful lush surroundings with a distant view to the ocean and valley. Very quiet and peaceful. The lodging itself is a little quirky with bedroom located on the top floor where the best view is. No bathroom on the top floor. Comfortable bed and bed linens, no headboard for sitting up in bed. The kitchen is well equipped for long stays and cooking. ##### Laura J. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff P. Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Like a private spa with a world class view We loved our stay in the Jungalow and did not want to leave. The views are spectacular. You can see the entire valley, the north shore, the south shore and the West Maui Mountains all at once. The sunsets were jaw dropping. They are different when you see them from 3000 feet up on the side of Haleakala. We used the pool, the hot tub and the sauna a lot. It is a real pool that you can swim laps in. And the hot tub is actually hot, as is the sauna. It was our private spa to use whenever we wanted. I swam every morning and evening. The grounds are covered in gardens and there are countless birds. You do not hear or see any neighbors. It cools off at night to an ideal sleeping temperature. The jungalow is well furnished and has everything you need for 2 people. Staying up country is the best and unlike anything else in Maui. Would 100% come here again. ##### Jeff P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April D.

The hosts were extremely kind and welcoming and were quick to answer with any questions we had. This was our last stop on our elopement/honeymoon in Maui and it was the perfect relaxing and quiet end to it. We would love to come back again someday soon. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/103cfee3-59a4-4ce8-a7a2-967ad5b40ec2-1750630788265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61baaebb-9d3e-4dac-a609-6307b8b06894-1750630799868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c90f6027-ed1f-44fc-b237-10ab9f23b2a6-1750630828569.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### April D.

Dawn and David have created a resort feel without the crowds. We stayed in their Jungalow for three nights celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. It was cozy and the views spectacular! We were able to reserve the hot tub through their scheduling app which worked great.We love to bird watch and were even provided birdseed to fill the feeder right outside the large windows to watch them up close.

Whether you are kama'aina or visitors from afar- you will really enjoy this place. ##### Merrill R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard E.

The setting - overlooking lush, pastoral, upcountry sites, against a backdrop of amazing birdsong and foliage - is truly unforgettable. The amenities (including pool and hot tub, full kitchen, access to laundry, etc.) really add to the experience. You do have to be able to navigate stairs and appreciate tge more rustic and remote slice of Maui here. ##### Anne W. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike A.

On the side of Haleakala looking towards West Maui mts! Lots of things to do on that side of island and great restaurants. Hosts were awesome. ##### Mike A.

Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property We loved this piece of heaven. The views are incredible. It’s nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the touristed areas. Upcountry is so pretty and lush. We hiked five minutes away. Got to eat in some really great upcountry restaurants. Found a new beach that is gorgeous, Baby Beach. It’s not for everyone. There is a very windy, steep road of about 15 minutes up from Makawao. We got used to it and it’s pretty. The jungalows’s decor is really pretty and it has all you need. Only downside is there are steep stairs leading up to the bedroom. No fun going downstairs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But it still is a very special and unique place. We enjoyed it very much. ##### Diana W.

Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Experience The Jungalow was an amazing spot to begin our Hawaiian vacation. It was the perfect spot to explore upcountry and East Maui. We loved being only an hour drive to sunrise and a good spot to begin Road to Hana as well. So much adventure to explore around here. We enjoyed dinner at Mama’s one night (what a treat), but loved coming back to the Jungalo to rest our tired legs the other nights. A good soak in the hot tub is the perfect end to day whether watching the sunset or the stars twinkle. Loved all the suggestions from Dawn — the Poke from the grocery store in Pukalani was amazing — too many choices and all delicious. We grilled some local, aged grass fed strip steaks on our lanai that we purchased down the road at the general store in Makawao. Delicious! All of the little touches here were amazing — fresh lemons and limes from the garden, little umbrella’s and tiki glasses for your cocktails, fresh flowers everywhere, twinkle lights on the umbrellas, I could go on and on. . . Perfection! ##### Jason Suzanne T. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michele b.

Dawn was extremely accommodating and personable. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of birds and nature surrounding this unique property. We also loved the town and people. The only comment I would add is that the bathroom is downstairs so if you have any sense of urgency in the middle of the night or have difficulty with stairs you may want to reconsider. Other than that it was just what we needed to end our 10 day trip to Maui. ##### michele b. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra K. Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful getaway Lovely comfortable, upcountry property perfect for experiencing Maui away from the hoards of the resort areas! Perfectly situated for exploring the fun towns of Makawao and Paia, the beautiful Hookipa and Baldwin beaches, the road to Hana, and Haleakala. But only an hour’s plus drive to South and West Maui. Fun windy drive to the property! We loved the bright decor, light filled spacious unit and the wonderful views. The pool was a bit cool for us because of the cooler March temperatures, but really enjoyed the spacious hot tub. (The teeniest drawbacks were the bathroom being downstairs and the bed not being against the wall.) ##### Debra K.

Wow.. what a breathtaking property and cottage!! The jungalow was one of the cleanest and most beautiful properties I have ever seen! We blew off previously made plans in the area just to stay on the property and enjoy the amenities longer. The gardens, pool, hot tub, and sauna were amazing. The views from all windows but especially from bed were priceless. The owner gave excellent communication. We are already dreaming about our next trip to Maui and decided the Jungalow was so relaxing and beautiful we would stay much longer and not make any other plans while there ☺️ thank you for a perfect stay with wonderful memories that will last for the rest of our lives!!

It was the perfect way to experience Upcountry in Maui. Very comfortable bed, lots of space, outdoor space had tremendous views from every direction. Host greeted us on arrival but otherwise gave us complete privacy…we never saw another person. The pool, hot tub, and sauna were added luxuries. This property is a special place. ##### Stacey L.

We wanted a place that was quiet so we could get away from our busy lives and have some time to connect. It has a gorgeous view of the mountains and the ocean on both sides of the island. The property is beautifully landscaped with tropical vegetation. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Clean, comfortable, roomy for just the two of us. The road to the property winds up a mountain, but we didn’t have any problems finding it per the hosts instructions, even arriving in the dark. Was exactly what we wanted and expected. Felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Thank you! ##### eawardhaugh Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Paniolo Greens At Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Paniolo-Greens-At-Waikoloa.h599417.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Bali Hai Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bali-Hai-Villas.h1744108.Hotel-Information) > > [Waimea Plantation Cottages, a Coast Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Waimea-Hotels-Waimea-Plantation-Cottages.h52880.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Kauai-Beach-Resort-Spa.h583022.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Waikoloa-Beach-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h22600.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugar Beach Resort - Maui Condo & Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Sugar-Beach-Resort-Maui-Condo-Home.h101695.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Lanai](https://www.expedia.ca/Lanai-City-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Lanai.h2980.Hotel-Information) > > [Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Mauna-Kea-Beach-Hotel.h34873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Kauai-Wailua-Bay.h25719.Hotel-Information) > > [Hana-Maui Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Hana-Hotels-Hana-Maui-Resort.h933.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-The-Westin-Hapuna-Beach-Resort.h34872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Royal-Sonesta-Kauai-Resort-Lihue.h8373.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kahului-Hotels-Maui-Beach-Hotel.h18554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Kama'ole Sands](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Castle-Kamaole-Sands.h21083.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairway Villas Waikoloa by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Fairway-Villas-Waikoloa-By-OUTRIGGER.h914142.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Beach Vacation Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Beach-Vacation-Club.h2457.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Marriotts-Kauai-Beach-Club.h1767377.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Kamaole - Maui Condo & Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Kamaole-Maui-Condo-Home.h101693.Hotel-Information) > > [Lahaina Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahaina-Hotels-Lahaina-Shores-Beach-Resort.h84901.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Maui Bay Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Bay-Villas-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h3001.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston Maui Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Aston-Maui-Hill.h24554.Hotel-Information) > > [Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Mauna-Lani.h426160.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Oahu North Shore](https://www.expedia.ca/Laie-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Oahu-North-Shore.h9727677.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston at the Maui Banyan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Aston-At-The-Maui-Banyan.h22568.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanalei Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Hanalei-Bay-Resort.h460385.Hotel-Information)
