Highlights include relaxing in outdoor hot tub at the end of a long day, breezes, bird sounds, beautiful grounds, and friendly hosts. We enjoyed the proximity to the start to the road to Hana, and food in Makawao. Also went on a great hike in the Makawao Forest Reserve. This is a great location if you are looking for some quiet (compared to some of the busier sections of island). ##### Karla F.

Cutely decorated and very comfortable. Lovely views with lush greenery around. Quick, easy access to Paia and the Road to Hana. Maggie was helpful and attentive to our questions. We didn't get to enjoy the hot tub but this was a great place to relax, listen to the rain, and watch the geckos hunt for bugs on the porch. ##### Audrey J. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret H., Santa Clara, CA, USA 7 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Haiku cottage The cottage was clean and very well stocked with necessities and creature comforts. We used the well-equipped kitchen to cook dinners and make breakfasts (get your groceries at Mana Foods in Paia). The location was convenient for the road to Hana, Twin Falls, jungle zip-lining, as well as spending time in Paia. It was wonderful to use the hot tub in the evenings. It was private and quiet (except for a few noisy vehicles driving on the road next to the cottage). The hosts were responsive and hospitable. We were impressed, and would stay here again. ##### Margaret H.

The owners are very responsive to messages. There is beach equipment to use. The chorus of roosters and birds to wake you up is the best. If you're looking for something off the beaten path (about an hour from Lahaina, right near the start of road to Hana), this is the place for you! We will definitely look for availability of we return to Maui. Thank you John and Maggie! ##### Catherine A. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marva W. 3 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Didn't Want To Leave Where do I begin?! John and Maggie were outstanding hosts and their beautiful fur-babies especially Grace. We enjoyed peace, times for reflections, and privacy. Our flight left around midnight, and the host offered a room in their home to assist with the long wait, but we still had things on the island we wanted to checkout plus turn in the rental. Such a perfect vacation to the point that we didn't want to leave. Thank you J & M. ##### Marva W. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hasse B., Salt Lake City, Utah 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property near Haiku Property is in a beautiful setting,well maintained and has the basic necessities needed for a successful stay. The lush, green surroundings along with the exotic morning birdsong concert made for a peaceful start to the day. There are a few drawbacks of the location: there is a quite busy road right by the house with noisy cars and trucks speeding by and compromising the otherwise serene setting. It is also impossible to take a walk on the neighborhood roads, as it is too dangerous with the roads having no shoulder. ##### Hasse B. Stayed 8 nights in May 2023 ---
