Nice relaxing place.

Great cottage to stay in. It was clean and well equipped with great ventilation. There was no kitchen range, but there was a nice two burner induction cooktop and a counter top oven (which we did not use). Convenient to beaches, hiking, the National Park, and road to Hana.

Two nights in Haiku

This nice property in the remote town of Haiku suited our needs. The owners were very nice and helpful, and we were also treated to a visit from their friendly dogs. It was a quick visit as we were moving to another part of the island for the rest of our stay. If you want a fairly remote location with fresh fruit trees on the property this might be for you.

Beautiful gardens

We loved the cottage with its large rooms and access to a garden and hot tub area. Well equipped for cooking. The most beautiful part of Maui, close to both the upcountry and the Road to Hana. Oranges and tangerines for picking, too!

Best up country stay

The place was great, they think of everything that you might need in case you forgotten something in your bag. Open living space, very private. Yet you feel an openness to the entire property. This is a wonderful part of the island and gives you access to all the up country. Explorations. Great sleeping, so quiet. We will definitely visit again

Heavenly rain is the perfect name!

We wanted to stay more off the beaten path on Maui and this upcountry cottage was absolutely perfect! It is super convenient for driving the Road to Hana, having dinner at Mama's Fish House and driving to the Summit of Haleakala. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the heavenly rain at night and awakening to the rooster crowing off in the distance. The property is gorgeous and we enjoyed having an evening cocktail in the hot tub that looks out towards the ocean. We enjoyed cooking dinner in the cottage and had everything we needed. They also provide beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkel gear. I would love to return to Ualani again someday! If you're looking to avoid congested touristy areas and experience island life for yourself, this is the place!

Great location for all our day trips in the upcountry. Fully stocked kitchen and laundry on-site was a huge plus. 4 miles into Makawao. Would advise arriving during daylight hours. Take the 10mph road signs seriously. Loved the rustling bamboo groves.

Great little house

This was a great little house for just the 2 of us as we celebrated our 20th anniversary. The hot tub was nice after our days out exploring. Maui was beautiful and the highlight was our drive on the road to Hana. The weather was rainy most of the days but we were really lucky the day we went to Hana. We would highly recommend this rental.

Great location

We really enjoyed the location of the cottage. Place was clean and hosts are very friendly. The only negative remarks I have is I thought the property was completely private but this is not the case. The cottage owners live on the property at the end of the drive and there is another cottage on the property across the driveway. We had no problems just was not what I thought I was renting.

Great Quiet Hideaway

This cute little house was in a perfect location. It was away from all the hustle and bustle and we were surrounded by beautiful scenery and bamboo. It is really hard turning into the driveway for this specific house, but other than that everything was awesome. Also, this place does not have air conditioning, but does have fans or you can open the windows for a breeze. Overall this place was perfect and secluded for our honeymoon.

April 2022 Stay

Staying at John and Maggie’s place was lovely. Peaceful jungle setting, easy to get into Paia for dinner, and generally great central location (~45 minutes to Wailea beaches, ~1 hour to the summit of Haleakala, and basically at the start of the Road to Hana). John was very responsive to any messages and very flexible on some changes we had to make to our reservation dates, which was much appreciated. The hot tub was lovely after long days of hiking or snorkeling.
