My wife and I stayed here during the second half of our honeymoon. During the first half of our trip, we stayed in a resort in Wailea, which was very nice but nonetheless a rather manicured vision of Maui. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the more forested, perhaps less well-trodden North Shore of Maui, where we were able to spend our days relaxing on the beautiful screened-in porch, reading novels and writing Christmas cards.
My wife grew up having a huge and lush green backyard, and this cottage, with its acres of private farmland and distant view of the ocean, made her very nostalgic. (She even wanted to check out as late as we possibly could, instead of going on an early morning snorkeling trip, so that we could savor the house for as long as possible!) We also enjoyed picking fresh starfruit, lilikoi, guava, mandarin oranges, and some bananas off the trees on the grounds. Being in such a lovely cottage meant that we never felt FOMO about staying in the house for hours on end doing not very much at all, even though we were in Maui (we did all our beach and water activities before our stay here). We mostly explored Paia and Haiku-Pauwela, with all its craft shops, fish restaurants, and little coffee shops, and loved going to the Maui Upcountry Farmers' Market on Saturday. The cottage is also decently situated for a trip to Haleakalā National Park - we did that at sunset one evening.
Protip - use the outdoor shower on the porch! That was quite possibly our favorite thing about the cottage.
