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.

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.

Summary: Dawn and David have created a resort feel without the crowds. We stayed in their Jungalow for three nights celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. It was cozy and the views spectacular! We were able to reserve the hot tub through their scheduling app which worked great.We love to bird watch and were even provided birdseed to fill the feeder right outside the large windows to watch them up close. Good location for visiting Haleakalā. Highly recommend!! Well done Dawn and David!!
