Let me start by saying that we only stayed 1 night and we arrived after dark and left before sunrise, so I can not comment on the surroundings. Kula Treat is the perfect place to stay if you want to visit Haleakala National Park and the surrounding upcountry, especially if you want to watch the sunrise. The accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Everything was as pictured and described. There was more than enough space. The bed was very comfortable. Pamela was also very accommodating and flexible. She welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed for our very short stay. I would stay there again if I ever get a chance to return to Maui and visit the upcountry.
