Few of my sons teammates grouped together for a recent baseball tournament! House was perfect! Close to the field. Saved us by being able to make breakfast everyday!

Amazing experience
The house was very clean with large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Marilyn and Ricky were so helpful and nice and helped us with everything we needed- they even lent us a bbq and boogie boards. We loved Upcountry as it felt extremely safe and family friendly, close to grocery, and easy to get to anywhere on the island. Overall it was a great experience.

Amazing hosts
Even though our flights were terribly delayed, Marilyn helped to make this stay wonderful! We wished we had more time to explore the beauty of this neighbourhood! They left us a lovely snack basket to greet us and really made us feel welcome! This was a wonderful short visit! Rick was above and beyond helpful and a great resource for this stay!

Family Reunion
My sister, old friends and I spent three nights at Pukalani. It was clean, peaceful, and comfortable. In the morning we went to the farmer's market and in the evening we cooked beautiful organic meals together. Great hub to explore Makawao, Paia, and Haleakala

Loud animals and nosy hosts
House is ok, furniture a bit dated. Loud street and animal noises very constant. Also sense of being closely watched by the hosts who reside next door.

Clean, safe, home-like and close to Paia
An amazing experience, with clean comfortable spacious rooms, good location for easy access to the North Shore. Laundry is important to us and they had good dryer/washer combo on the covered porch. Never saw an unwanted bug and had great conversation with the host who gave wonderful time tailored for our young family. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful house and hosts
This was such a great place to stay! It is a lovely house in a quiet neighborhood, and the hosts Marilyn and Ricky are so friendly and generous. There were only two of us but there would be plenty of space for more people. We did not want to leave.

Wonderful upcountry location on Maui
This was a fantastic centralized location in the beautiful upcountry of Maui. This is a residential neighborhood so perfect for a family get away or when you don't want to deal with partiers next door. The neighbors do have dogs and some roosters (very common on Maui if you have never been), so don't be surprised if you hear them in the morning time. Marilyn is a fantastic host/owner, very communicative and was very helpful with suggestions for local farmer's markets and must-do/must-sees on Maui! Would definitely stay here again.

Nice clean place.
Thank you to our host with providing us a comfortable stay. Their place was clean and well equipped. Communication was good with our host. The neighbor did have a big party on the weekend so that may be something to think about for those that sleep light. I don't know how often they party but it was just one evening/night during our stay and I they are just having a normal good party. Rooms, supplies, washer / dryer, kitchen with cookware, coffee make, WiFi, TV are somethings featured. I would certainly recommend this place and would stay again. Location is good where there is a short drive to different places. You are unlikely to walk around this suburban area to explore ,as most of the places are homes thus count on a car and driving. Overall, thumbs up!

Lovely centralized spot
We wanted to explore the whole island efficiently so opted to stay more central. We didn’t need this big of a place as it was just two of us but we puked make a great spot for couples or a family. Very clean and easy to get to. It was a pleasure meeting the hosts who will make sure your stay is special!

Amazing Experience
This property was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable, easy to get to, great location on the island to get to all the destinations in Maui. The owners, Rick and Marilyn, are kind, helpful and greet you with fresh fruit. They have business experience with tours on the island so that have wonderful suggestions in helping you make all the must see spots if you need help like we did. We will book this home again on our next Maui trip.

Great spot for enjoying upcountry
This was the perfect place for us to start our trip in Hawaii. Located in a neighborhood in upcountry Maui, you really get a feel for the island. There was a wonderful breeze that kept the house cool and the beds were super comfy, which was great after a long plane ride. The neighbors were a bit noisy but they seemed to be enjoying themselves and a little white noise drowned it out. Close to beautiful beaches and Paia town this was a great place to start our adventures! The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. Also if you’re planning to do the road to Hana it’s a great starting point!

Amazing experience!
If I could rate 6 stars, I would. Couldn't have hoped for a better place, the location is centralized shortening driving distance across the island. The house is fully equipped, very clean, has a lot of space in the common areas and even has a laundry. Marylin and her husband are thoughtful, gracious and very welcoming. Also, they know the island very well and will help you to navigate in Maui. The gifts we received were a nice touch to end our trip in the best mood possible. I strongly recommend this place.

Comfortable stay and thoughtful hosts
We enjoyed the treats in the Welcome Basket as well as the cookies Marilyn made. Both Ricky and Marilyn gave us helpful tips for local food and attractions; Ricky even lent us snorkeling equipment!! Their house was a comfortable place for us to stay and we were able to have a late checkout. Thank you for a good stay!!

Comfortable Ohana Cottage in the Trees
Cute guest house on a second floor [ there is a ramp to access, no stairs required] that feels like you're in a tree house. It is tucked away on a cul de sac that overall was pretty quiet. Marilyn and Rick were always available in person or via phone to answer any questions about the house or the area. Welcome basket with local goodies was a nice treat before we hit the grocery store, which is nearby. Would recommend staying here if you want to get away from hotels and condo complexes.

quiet, cool and like home
Rick and Marilyn were super hosts and really made us feel at home. The house was very private and in a neighborhood of Makawao. Perfect environment.....not only to get away from the crowds but also the cool temperature and quiet location made for great sleeping weather. The location is in easy reach of Makawao, Kula, Paia and Kahului. There were 5 of us from different parts of the U.S. and we all enjoyed our stay. We would definitely rent from Rick and Marilyn again.

Wonderful little home
The house is cute and clean, it naturally cools down at night so no A/C is required. The homeowners are so nice and helpful. The only downside was the neighborhood dogs that barked allot the week we were there. We drowned them out by closing the windows at night and turning fans on. Other than that, i would recommend staying there and my family and I will stay there again if we ever visit Maui again in the future. Also, the welcome basket we received on day one was a sweet touch!! Mahalo!!

Super laid back and homey
This little ohana cottage was perfect with a full kitchen and Central location. Was really nice to have the washer and dryer too. The owners live in the main house but the ohana is really private with the amount of foliage around it. Marilyn and Ricky were both really cool and laid back but made it clear they were available anytime if we needed them. Would definitely stay again. Mahalo for a lovely stay on Maui!

Well maintained and peaceful location.
Owners lived on site and were very involved in making sure everything went well. It's a great location. Near all the beaches and activities but far enough to sleep peacefully in a quiet neighborhood. We were provided with all the amenities of an up-graded resort with the feeling of being home. It made for a successful and relaxing vacation.
