Eve was the perfect host, giving us a fun tour of the grounds that included the history of the property, identification of all the trees and plants and of course, lots of fresh samples. She also went out of her way to get a Christmas tree for us and decorate it. Eve is friendly and accommodating, provides lots of suggestions for things to do, yet gives guests their privacy.

The house is beautiful with lots of nice decorating touches and everything else you might need such as top notch appliances, beach towels, wireless, and any toiletry items you may have forgotten. The location in upcountry Maui is perfect to get a sense of what "real Maui" is like yet is a short drive to anywhere you might want to go on the island. Close-by there are several small towns where you can dine or shop and great hiking trails. The weather is about 10 degrees cooler than at the coast and provides for very comfortable sleeping without air conditioning. This is a great location if you want to get away from the more touristy areas and learn more about day-to-day life on Maui.
