John is an amazing host and really made us feel welcome and at home. The Pole house was incredible with fantastic views and a tranquil setting. Great location to visit Haiku town, Ho'Okipa, Road to Hana, Paia, and Kula. Probably our best trip ever, thank you John!

This is a lovely property with a fantastic view. It was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen included just about everything we needed. When we wanted a couple of additional items (a measuring cup and spoons), the responsive and amicable owner brought them right away. He also lent us an object our friends needed for their wedding a few blocks away. A great stay!

This was our FAVORITE place to stay during our 4 island - 4 week trip. This home is beautifully designed decorated and constructed. There is beauty in its simplicity but you will have everything you need. The views are spectacular and we loved the location near Pa’ia, the Road to Hana, and Haleakala. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer.

My wife and I traveled to Hawaii for our first time and choose to stay here. It was a fantastic experience. Being able to see the ocean from our deck was awesome. John was a great host and offered great restaurant recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for our excursions. The location felt secluded and away from major tourist areas which is what we wanted. Very peaceful. Would highly recommend!

The place was exactly what we were looking for - beautiful, open to nature, care in every detail and away from the touristy parts of the island. Reading in the hammock swing for hours looking out over the treetops to the ocean was an absolute dream, and John was incredibly gracious, communicative and helpful. We would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our relaxing and refreshing stay at the Pole House. It is unique in every way and beautifully built. Felt surreal taking in the amazing views from the balcony, including the gorgeous sunrise and sunsets. Loved waking up to the cool breeze, sounds of nature, and panoramic views of the sky and surrounding forest. It was the perfect location for our Road to Hana and Haleakala adventures.
John, the owner, was very welcoming, kind, and accommodating. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. Enjoyed our conversations and listening to his stories. He was a very gracious host and we appreciated his helpful suggestions. Thank you, John, for a wonderful, memorable getaway.

The construction of the house reveals itself to be pure island perfection. Location is close to Paia, the jungle view to the edge of the sea from wraparound porch is perfect. The sunrise and the birds are joyous. The peacefulness and beauty of this property are beyond compare

We had a wonderful 2 week stay at the Pole House. The beautiful house with cathedral ceilings opened completely to the outside and you really enjoyed the feeling of being in the rainforest. The house is a little rustic but that just added to the charm. Though in a neighborhood with houses around, the view was nothing but rainforest and the ocean in the distance. Rainbows over the forest were spectacular. The host was always available and was very helpful and informative. The location was very convenient to the road to Hana, and the beach at Hookipa.

My husband and I chose this property for a three night stay before going to the beach. We enjoy exploring various parts of Maui and having unique experiences. This property is definitely unique! John the host is a delight and the house has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The views are wonderful! We would be happy to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. John was an outstanding host. He was very accommodating to our needs. The house is absolutely perfect! John built it with his two hands. Love the different woods. Location was perfect to reach all areas of the island. If you want an authentic Hawaiian experience, stay here!

The pole house is one of the most unique and amazing places we have stayed at. In addition, John is an amazing host. He is very down to earth, has great stories, and works hard to create a great environment for his guests. Last time my wife and I visited Maui we stayed here. We enjoyed it so much that we planned our second visit to Maui based around being able to book the pole house. We love being able to open up all the doors, the view of the trees, the ocean in the distance, and the quiet neighborhood. While we had many adventures on this trip: hiking into Haleakala, driving and hiking the northwest area, hiking south of Kihei, and enjoying the beach - the pole house is our version of paradise and we plan to stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

A little slice of paradise. Private and serene yet close to all of the things that we wanted to see and do. Every second we spent in the home seemed like something out of a dream. Beautifully appointed. We particularly loved the way that we felt surrounded by all of the sights and sounds of the jungle. Felt like we were staying in a luxury treehouse with an ocean view.
John was a fantastic host. Attentive and friendly without being intrusive.
Highly recommend.
