Magical and Peaceful! The Sacred Garden Retreat is a one of a kind find in Hawaii! A genuine log house in a beautiful jungle-garden-organic farm setting. 5 bdrms/3 bathrooms. Great for a romantic getaway fro two or group vacation. "Away from it all" but just 20 minutes to airport and 2 miles to shops/restaurants! Access to two adjacent properties, totalling 8.5 acres of lush tropical beauty. Diversified farm growing Fruits, flowers, vegetables, coffee, water lilies, etc. This spectacular gated property, has the feel of a mountain retreat away from the tourist scene, but is just minutes to restaurants, shops and beautiful beaches. We provide all the amenities we think you will need to enjoy your vacation. Whether you seek a romantic getaway for two or a great place for a family reunion, a gathering of friends or a personal growth retreat....this place is perfect. This property is a hidden jewel in a lush garden setting—a gardener's delight, artist get away, spiritual retreat or family vacation. This house is versatile in how many it can sleep; It is MUCH larger than it looks. It has 5 bedrooms (one is a spacious loft and one is a studio suite with an additional bathroom, kitchenette and a private entrance which is included in the price). All total there are 10 beds. All located on several acres of lush tropical beauty. There are additional accommodations on nearby properties so if you have a larger group, contact me about the possibilities. The house has a large living room, covered lanai, fully equipped kitchen, picnic/BBQ areas, and WiFi. It has gas stove/oven, microwave, toaster oven coffee maker, dishwasher, blender, citrus juicer, ironing board, iron, three bathrooms --2 have a bathtub/shower, the other a shower. There is plenty of off-road parking. This is a 3 story house with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. You enter on the middle floor, which has a master bedroom with Queen sized bed, and a Master bath with shower/bathtub, stained glass windows. This floor also has the fully equipped kitchen, dining room and cathedral ceiling/window living room. The Lanai is off the kitchen. The upstairs has a loft bedroom with two queens (open air to the living room and the large cathedral ceiling below-access like normal room/NOT a ladder!) and another bedroom with two twin beds, as well as a bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower. The bottom flower has a studio suite with a king sized bed and a sofa bed and another bedroom with a queen sized bed, a twin trundle bed (2 twins) and a laundry room. This property is located immediately next door to The Sacred Garden (with two walking labyrinths, succulent gardens, water gardens, meditation gardens) and is where we (the owners) live, so you have easy access to us if you need anything but with plenty of privacy. The property is in close proximity to other attractions like the Piiholo Ziplines, The Temple of Peace, World-Class Kite and Windsurfing at Ho'okipa and the famous Jaws big surf site. Great hiking trails are just 3 miles away. Haliimaile General Store and Mama's Fish House are minutes away. Haleakala National Park is only 50 minutes away. We are 2 miles to Makawao Town restaurants and shops, 3 miles to Haiku Town, 5 Miles to Paia Town and Baldwin Beach. The airport is only 15-20 minutes away but you will feel like you are far away from it all in this absolutely peaceful garden setting. We have a working diversified farm using organic practice. Access to this property and our adjacent property, The Sacred Garden, allows you to go on walks through 8.5 acres of an incredible tropical setting. Upon request we will happily offer a tour so you can learn about Hawaiian plants, coffee production, water lilies, etc.. We have mango, coconuts, coffee, papaya, lemon, tangerine, bananas, avocados, lilikoi (passion fruit) macadamia nuts, lychee, breadfruit, and flowers galore—haleconia, bird of paradise, and ginger. Different flowering trees take turns blooming so the valley is constantly featuring a different splash of color. While our cancellation policy is "No refund" we are happy to refund bookings if we are able to re-book the dates. Gardening classes are also available upon request. We also offer labyrinth walks and water lily classes. There is a seasonal stream running through the property so from time to time there is the additional treat of a stream—(or a river!) running through the yard. The elevation is about 1100 feet which is PERFECT on Maui! We are about 10 degrees cooler than sea level which makes for absolutely comfortable days (70-80 degrees) and GREAT temps for sleeping (usually in the 60's). This is the MAXIMUM elevation you can stay and still go scuba diving on Maui. Speaking of diving...we are avid divers and photographers. You will definitely want a rental car....there is a bus stop a mile or two away but not ideal....and bikes are a little hazardous as these are hilly, windy, narrow roads. Getting Married on Maui? We can officiate the ceremony for you! If you need more space, we work with the neighbors and can guide you to their sites for larger groups.... Just let us know what you are looking for! House Rules: Maximum number of guests is 10 (unless children are under 2 years old) Quiet Time 9pm-8am. Amplified sound that disturbs neighbors or other guests is prohibited. Parking (provided at no extra cost) must be on gated property, not on street. Parties and events are not allowed.

Beautiful sunrises and rainbows almost every day. Ducks, dogs, and chickens, too, to entertain us. Eve is a lovely hostess and gave us a tour of the property which has 3 other rental houses scattered throughout the property, her own private home nearby, as well as her gardens/shop just outside the gate along the road. Communication with Eve was encouraged by her and certainly welcomed by us, and we took advantage of her knowledge of the area. We highly recommend this property - all 10 of us! ##### Michael A.

This place couldn’t have been more perfect for our group. Plenty of beds (most important), decent number of bathrooms (second most important), real nice kitchen and family room, and tons of beautiful scenery. \* Fair Warning\* There are a number of roosters around the property and they let you know about it every morning. But that was a small price to pay for this beautiful cabin in the Hawaiian woods. Eve was absolutely awesome and very attentive and hospitable in every way. She gave a tour of the beautiful gardens and grounds and was quick to respond to every question/concern. This has to be the best VRBO-type experience I’ve ever had.

Wow, I had high expectations for this stay based on the reviews and everything was ABOVE AND BEYOND. Eve is truly a gem - so communicative when we first booked and throughout the end of our stay. She is the best Vrbo host I've worked with, putting so much care and love into her home and property. It is a beautiful home, perfectly fit 8 adults with plenty of room to spare. She thought of everything - from beach towels, umbrellas, snorkel gear, all kitchen equipment and more - the home was so clean and spacious. You cannot beat the peacefulness her property provides, plus all the animals from roosters, ducks, dogs and cats were such a pleasant surprise. I even was able to coordinate with Eve on a surprise grazing board platter which was a great touch and so kind of her to set that up for us at the extra cost. Also loved her binder with every detail you'd need, helped keep us organized too and answered all questions. Eve is fantastic, this home made our Maui family vacation the best. So grateful for this stay, thank you Eve!!! ##### Melissa F.

We had 3 groups (two families of 4 plus a set of grandparents), and each group had their own spacious floor. The house is stocked with plenty of clean linens, lots of beach toys, chairs, and towels and has a washer and dryer in the bottom floor. The property is lush with beautiful plants and unique physical features such as a creek bed and a cliff wall that make you feel like you've found a hidden gem. The kids in our group spent all their downtime playing out in the yard and found plenty to do while the grownups relaxed on the lanai. This location is the perfect temperature allowing you to have the windows open all day and night. It is a short ~10 minute drive to conveniences such as grocery, gas, etc. On Saturdays there is a wonderful market (called the Upcountry Farmer's Market) just 10-15 minutes away. Eve is a fantastic host and is very responsive and helpful. She lives nearby and is able to assist with any of your needs or questions. While we were there, a tropical storm was headed our way and she let us know which windows to close and told us about the battery powered lanterns that were stored downstairs. This home was above and beyond any of our expectations, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone! ##### Amy F. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lauren M. Feb 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Overall was great, but probably wouldn’t stay here again I typically never leave reviews, but after leaving this VRBO I knew I had to. The house was good, and the inside does look like the pictures. However, there were issues with the house. The downstairs shower did not drain. Any water used would just sit in the tub. The upstairs shower was also troublesome. Eve told us that this shower might give us problems, but even when following these instructions, water would still drip from the shower into the floor of the master bedroom. Eve was friendly, but we didn’t realize how close her house is to this VRBO. We also didn’t anticipate how much we would see her during our stay. Her house is very very close to this rental, which based on the pictures we just didn’t expect. There was maybe 20 yards between the two homes. There was also a time when Eve came into the house when none of us were home to turn off a light that she didn’t think was working. We would have appreciated a heads up, as hearing about this from Eve later that night felt violating. and we only heard about this from Eve because our front door code was changed mid-stay… Also, because Eve’s home is on the same property, there was one night when all of us were frightened to see 2 people (which we later realized were Eve and her husband) walking around our house with flashlights. They were just walking the property, but nothing prepares you to see 2 people walking with flashlights by your bedroom window at 1 in the morning. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. ##### Lauren M.

The Hosts is a gem, the location is accommodating for most Maui activities, and the home amenities are complete. Delightful log home is "cowboy country." Absolutely no issues or negative comments. Would recommend the experience and will stay again, without hesitation. ##### Raymond J. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H.

The kitchen has everything you need for a large gathering. We had 9 people were able to easily cook and relax. The main level primary bedroom with bath was nice for my parents and the other beds were comfortable. There were 2 pairs of ducks who decided to nest in the Monstera at the entry to the house and were delightful. It's fun to walk the property and the Sacred Garden and labryinths. Eve was super accomodating and always available to us when we had questions. Book this place! ##### Sara H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James N.

What a breath of fresh air (literally) this place is! Eve is a fabulous host. She was so generous with her time, gave us a tour of this amazing property, and even shared fresh avacados with us for dinner. Our group of 7 adults had plenty of space and the amenities were excellent. House was very clean, linens are of good quality, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had a nice assortment of cooking essentials. The Sacred Garden is an added bonus where you will find much more than just beautiful flowers. Thanks for your hospitality Eve and for making sure we return home with great memories. ##### James N.
