Owners live on property.
Aloha, sorry but at this time we are not hosting to families with children younger than 16. Mahalo.
This is a NO SMOKING property. No smoking is allowed any where upon the property.
Our Jungalow Cottage is 780 square feet and overlooks breathtaking views of Haleakala Ranch and west Maui.
This area of Hawaii is special and unique. It is a very different experience, one of the mountain.
We are on 2.5 acres and nestled upon the slopes of Haleakala (meaning house of the sun in Hawaiian).
The summit of Haleakala is at 10,023 ft and is a must see while on Maui. We are at approximately
3000 ft and surrounded by cattle ranches and forrest.
Hiking and mountain biking trails are near by. Wild pheasant, deer, pigs and Pueo (hawaiian owl) are often seen.
This is a very special place on Maui and only really described by being here in person.
Our guests are welcome to use the swimming pool, hot tub and dry sauna at will according to our house rules. Please note that use of the pool, hot tub and dry sauna are private if reserved via our shared calendar app.
Guests may also wander the sprawling property planted with many aromatic plants such as Rose Geranium,
Lemon Verbena, Lemon Grass,
Rosemary and others.
There are also Avocados, Lemons and limes for our guests to enjoy when in season.
Because of the natural beauty and peace afforded by this amazing place we encourage you feel that solitude and to please respect the same of others.
We are however excited to meet our guests and get to know each other. It becomes a more personal experience for all parties. Of course if you want to be private please do, we are always available to answer any questions or to help in anyway. Just text or call.
Your one bedroom B&B Jungalow cottage also shares the property with our 3/2 Pualani Hale. You can see that listing here:

In order to respect each others privacy while using the facilities, we have adopted the use of a shared calendar app. When reserving use of the pool, hot tub and sauna, it is strongly recommended we all use it.
You can reserve your private time as desired or leave a note for others to join if you don’t mind company.
We do attract a lot of honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries, so it is our intent to offer each of our guests the same opportunity to experience the peace, tranquility and romance that our property offers.
As you will learn, sound travels incredibly far up here so please keep your voice low while outside. And please no business calls
poolside.
We do however want you to let loose and have fun so it is really about communication and respect of others expectations.
Please see our house rules below.

The Jungalow was an amazing spot to begin our Hawaiian vacation. It was the perfect spot to explore upcountry and East Maui. We loved being only an hour drive to sunrise and a good spot to begin Road to Hana as well. So much adventure to explore around here. We enjoyed dinner at Mama’s one night (what a treat), but loved coming back to the Jungalo to rest our tired legs the other nights. A good soak in the hot tub is the perfect end to day whether watching the sunset or the stars twinkle. Loved all the suggestions from Dawn — the Poke from the grocery store in Pukalani was amazing — too many choices and all delicious. We grilled some local, aged grass fed strip steaks on our lanai that we purchased down the road at the general store in Makawao. Delicious! All of the little touches here were amazing — fresh lemons and limes from the garden, little umbrella’s and tiki glasses for your cocktails, fresh flowers everywhere, twinkle lights on the umbrellas, I could go on and on. . . Perfection!

We had a great stay at the Jungalow in Makawao. Dawn was extremely accommodating and personable. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of birds and nature surrounding this unique property. We also loved the town and people.
The only comment I would add is that the bathroom is downstairs so if you have any sense of urgency in the middle of the night or have difficulty with stairs you may want to reconsider. Other than that it was just what we needed to end our 10 day trip to Maui.

Lovely comfortable, upcountry property perfect for experiencing Maui away from the hoards of the resort areas! Perfectly situated for exploring the fun towns of Makawao and Paia, the beautiful Hookipa and Baldwin beaches, the road to Hana, and Haleakala. But only an hour’s plus drive to South and West Maui. Fun windy drive to the property!
We loved the bright decor, light filled spacious unit and the wonderful views. The pool was a bit cool for us because of the cooler March temperatures, but really enjoyed the spacious hot tub. (The teeniest drawbacks were the bathroom being downstairs and the bed not being against the wall.)

Wow.. what a breathtaking property and cottage!! The jungalow was one of the cleanest and most beautiful properties I have ever seen! We blew off previously made plans in the area just to stay on the property and enjoy the amenities longer. The gardens, pool, hot tub, and sauna were amazing. The views from all windows but especially from bed were priceless. The owner gave excellent communication. We are already dreaming about our next trip to Maui and decided the Jungalow was so relaxing and beautiful we would stay much longer and not make any other plans while there ☺️ thank you for a perfect stay with wonderful memories that will last for the rest of our lives!! Thank you Dave and Dawn!!

The property was more beautiful than the pictures show. It was the perfect way to experience Upcountry in Maui. Very comfortable bed, lots of space, outdoor space had tremendous views from every direction. Host greeted us on arrival but otherwise gave us complete privacy…we never saw another person. The pool, hot tub, and sauna were added luxuries. This property is a special place.

Wonderful place on the side of Haleakala on Maui. Views towards the north Maui were beautiful. Beautiful ride up the side of the mountain and once you get here, so relaxing, hot tub and pool area were amazing. Mahalo.

My husband and I booked this property for its setting. We wanted a place that was quiet so we could get away from our busy lives and have some time to connect. It has a gorgeous view of the mountains and the ocean on both sides of the island. The property is beautifully landscaped with tropical vegetation. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Clean, comfortable, roomy for just the two of us.
The road to the property winds up a mountain, but we didn’t have any problems finding it per the hosts instructions, even arriving in the dark.
Was exactly what we wanted and expected. Felt like we had the place all to ourselves.
Thank you!

Very special place. You really feel a part of Maui rather than a tourist. The view is amazing.
It is a bit cooler up island than down at the beach, maybe 5-10 degrees cooler than the beach.
I really enjoyed the outdoor shower with a view.
Very private and quiet. Very responsive host and check in/out could not have been easier.

This ohana has an amazing view and everything you might need for a sweet stay, from decks to a tuck away loft for viewing your favorite shows. It was very comfortable and well thought out.

Friendly owner greeted us to the property. I wouldn’t advise trying to find the property in the dark, very tricky driveway/road to the house. Beautiful lush surroundings with a distant view to the ocean and valley. Very quiet and peaceful.
The lodging itself is a little quirky with bedroom located on the top floor where the best view is. No bathroom on the top floor. Comfortable bed and bed linens, no headboard for sitting up in bed. The kitchen is well equipped for long stays and cooking.

Dream location. The photos in the listing are very nice but being there was special in so many unexpected ways. Constant new discoveries of beauty in sight and sound. The amenities were everything we needed. Dave and Dawn were the most interesting and coolest hosts. Never intrusive but there if you needed them. They have created a sanctuary that visitors will respect, enjoy immensely and remember long after they leave.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The sunset views were breathtaking, the yard is full of color and birds. The bed and couch are very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub on a foggy night- the ambiance was very cool. Our host is very kind and responsive.

We loved our stay in the Jungalow and did not want to leave. The views are spectacular. You can see the entire valley, the north shore, the south shore and the West Maui Mountains all at once. The sunsets were jaw dropping. They are different when you see them from 3000 feet up on the side of Haleakala. We used the pool, the hot tub and the sauna a lot. It is a real pool that you can swim laps in. And the hot tub is actually hot, as is the sauna. It was our private spa to use whenever we wanted. I swam every morning and evening. The grounds are covered in gardens and there are countless birds. You do not hear or see any neighbors. It cools off at night to an ideal sleeping temperature. The jungalow is well furnished and has everything you need for 2 people. Staying up country is the best and unlike anything else in Maui. Would 100% come here again.

Nestled on the side of the mountain, the views from every room are amazing. The bed and pillows are so fluffy and comfortable, and when you wake-up, you can just gaze out of the window from bed.
The pool is refreshing, the hot tub is relaxing, and the sauna is detoxifying.

The pictures in the listing don't do it justice. One of the most beautiful vacation rentals we stayed at.
