We were so fortunate to stumble across this log cabin, the Sacred Garden, and Eve and Steve. We stayed for two weeks mid-January, and also chose to be married by Eve in the garden's labyrinth, with a group of friends/family who also shared the cabin. It could not have been more perfect for us.
First, we loved the cabin. As Eve notes, it is MUCH larger than it looks in the picture. We had 10 people in it for about a week of our stay, and it felt totally spacious - very large bedrooms (especially the loft, which we called the "treeh-ouse", and the wonderful studio), and good community space inside and out. The "fire circle" area was a great evening bbq hangout and could have easily accommodated more people than we had. The cabin is newly remodeled (v interesting story - ask the hosts) and clean and well appointed - especially the kitchen. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed. Handy for a large group: there are two refrigerators - one in studio. Washer/dryer/laundry room made laundry easy.
The location is beautiful - think jungle garden - and peaceful. We loved the morning chorus of doves and roosters and evening crickets and stars. Although there are several other rentals (smaller) on the property, you have lots of privacy because of the size of the property and dense trees/garden. We picked fruit (lemons, tangerines, avocados this time of year) and enjoyed wandering in the lovingly restored greenhouse at the next door Sacred Garden. We were lucky enough to be here for one of Eve's full moon labyrinth walks - highly recommended.
The atmosphere at the property is very laid back and friendly (and seems secure - there is a locked gate). Eve and Steve are warm, attentive hosts who give you your privacy. Eve was a brief text away when we needed anything (not often). She gave us a property tour and happily arranged massages at the cabin for us. For us, big-dog ambassador Bodhi was a bonus (he even attended our wedding which cracked everyone up) - he's a teddy-bear personality and comically big, and everyone loved him. If you don't love dogs - don't worry - you'll probably rarely see him, and he's very quiet and non-threatening.
Finally, if you are thinking of a Maui wedding, Eve does a fantastic job -warm, gracious, and clearly with tons of experience - she'll set you at ease and add to the occasion.
One word of warning: you are in jungle here, and mosquitoes can be a nuisance at times. They didn't bother me much but if you spend much time outside (and you will want to) you'll need repellent - several of our group got bitten. The house is well-screened so they are not a problem inside.
Restaurants/small towns are handy - try Colleen's in Haiku! We also snorkeled a lot near Makena/Wailea, and explored Haleakala - all easy drives from the property, which is pretty centrally located.
