The house was easy to find and located close to my favorite little town in Maui. Everything was immaculate and well taken care of. The beds were extremely comfortable. The owners were responsive and helpful. I know there were other people in the property but we never saw or heard them! If I ever have the chance to come back to Maui, I will definitely stay here! ##### Katie B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam W.

A calm, kind resort vibe has been cultivated with thoughtful touches. What you need and even some things you didn't know you needed at your finger tips. Upcountry Maui is probably not on everyone's itinerary and that is fantastic for those of us who find it absolutely magical and worth the drive. The view, the quiet nights, the stars, the birdsong in the morning and the cooler temperatures were just the ticket after the fun first half of our trip in Kihei. Magical and practical at the same time! Mahalo ##### Pam W.

The views are incredible! Staying up country was a different island experience . More of a local vibe . It is a steep climb of a winding road up to the house but it’s worth it. We didnt take advantage of the pool as much as we would have liked. We did a lot of sight seeing and would arrive back tired and ready for bed early. The birds sing early in the morning here. So be prepared to be up with the roosters. The house has everything you need. Comfy beds and a lovely kitchen and open living area. The morning views were just incredible. Wish we had had more time to enjoy it. ##### Hope S. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Avishek B.

Dave and Dawn and the most incredible, genuine, hospitable and gracious people, and hosts on vrbo. So accommodating and the description of the property doesn't do it justice. You have to actually be there to see the magnitude and greatness of the views and property itself. Everything was super clean and neat, and had everything we needed! Pool and hot tub overlooking the mountainside was magnificent! Communication w the hosts was super easy and they were there for anything we needed or would need. Thank you guys for a memorable experience and we would definitely visit this rental again! Not only did we have a wonderful time, we also made some great friends with Dave and Dawn! Thank you again! ##### Avishek B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### charlotte r.

If you are considering a stay in upcountry Maui, this is the home! Photos and commentary cannot accurately describe the beauty of this home and area. The terraced property and the home full of windows allows visitors to truly experience the peace of upcountry. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the deck watching the sunrise and listening to the birds. Dawn and David are amazing, kind hosts who work hard to provide a fabulous stay. Dawn helped us in so many ways with wonderful recommendations, tips, and even a ride to town for one of us when the rest were gone one day. The home is well equipped and Dawn's attention to detail makes for a special stay. We were greeted with eggs from her silkie chickens, and there were beautiful plants and flowers throughout the home. We loved enjoying the pool and hot tub, especially at sunset. The stars at night are so bright! I loved the plants, trees and flowers on the property.We were able to go to all the different areas for beaches, as well as RTH, and Haleakala. Truly the best of both worlds. We loved every minute at this lovely home and were so sad to leave. Dawn, thank you for having us, we hope to return! A hui hou, Charlotte ##### charlotte r.

Beautiful views and everything that you need to make for a luxurious getaway. Great layout of the property to ensure everyone has their privacy. Loved falling asleep to the gentle breezes, lite rains, and waking up with an unobstructed view of the valley below. Close to makawao town for shopping and dining and just far enough away from everything else to make it feel like a true getaway. ##### Johnathan T.

We had a great time here and would have loved to stay longer. Watching the sunset from the hot tub, cooling down in the pool afterwards, lying in bed watching the moon set in the mornings. The quiet and peacefulness of the upcountry. Memories we will never forget. ##### Finn v. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony L.
