Our Jungalow Cottage boasts 780 square feet of exquisite living space, offering panoramic vistas of Haleakala Ranch and the majestic west Maui mountains. Located on 2.5 acres of serene land, this gem rests gracefully upon the slopes of Haleakala—which translates to "House of the Sun" in Hawaiian.

At approximately 3,000 ft elevation, you’ll be surrounded by lush cattle ranches and forests, making for a truly unique mountain experience. Be sure to explore nearby hiking and mountain biking trails, where you might encounter wild pheasants, deer, pigs, and even Pueo, the Hawaiian owl.

This area is indescribably special, and the only way to fully appreciate it is to witness its charm firsthand. During your stay, you’ll have access to our swimming pool, hot tub, and dry sauna, all designed for your enjoyment and relaxation. To ensure everyone has their private moments, we utilize a shared calendar app that allows guests to reserve these facilities at their convenience.

Walk through our sprawling grounds, enriched with aromatic plants like Rose Geranium, Lemon Verbena, and Rosemary. Depending on the season, indulge in fresh avocados, lemons, and limes available for our guests’ enjoyment.

Your comfort and peace are paramount here at our Luxury Upcountry retreat. We invite you to embrace solitude while respecting the tranquility of others. Our aim is to foster a warm connection with each guest, creating personal experiences while ensuring privacy when desired. Should you need assistance or have inquiries, feel free to reach out via text or call.

While you enjoy our one-bedroom BnB, you may also consider our other property, the spacious 3/2 Pualani Hale, which shares the same grounds. For more details, please visit https://www.vrbo.com/2252398?unitId=2816964.

We cater particularly to couples seeking romance and serenity, making it our mission to provide every guest with a peaceful atmosphere infused with love and tranquility. Given the exceptional acoustics of our locale, we kindly ask that voices remain low when outdoors, and refrain from business calls poolside.

To ensure an unforgettable stay, please review our house rules upon arrival. We want your time here to be enjoyable, filled with adventure and relaxation amidst the breathtaking views of Maui.

Thank you for choosing to share your getaway with us! We are eager to assist you in every way possible to ensure your experience exceeds expectations. Mahalo!

Summary: Our stay here was everything and more. We chose it as the final stop on our Maui trip, and it was the perfect way to end—so much so that we’ll absolutely be returning. The space is incredibly tranquil. We found ourselves staying on the property more than going out, simply because it was so peaceful and inviting. My wife especially loved the bird watching—the couch placement was perfect for her to relax and take it all in for hours. The gardens are lush and beautifully maintained, and we really appreciated that some of the plants were marked. It added a thoughtful, personal touch to the experience. I could go on and on, but the reviews truly speak for themselves. This place alone would be reason enough to come back.
