We were looking for a more unique experience than staying in a resort area and loved the look of John and Maggie's cottage. From the moment we booked, the hosts were nothing but helpful and courteous. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The cottage itself was perfect, very quiet, and clean. We stayed in the smaller one bedroom cabin with our 2 children sleeping in the living area in separate twin beds. The cottage had everything we needed: full fridge, stove, toaster, microwave, and, a washer and a dryer. Our children loved playing in the large gated yard and we were happy they were safe, away from any busy roads.
The area itself is gorgeous. Very green and lush. You will feel like you are experiencing the real Maui and it is in a great location location for exploring the island. It is close to the Road to Hana and a good proximity to Haleakala and all the Upcountry sights. It only took 40 mins to drive to Ma'alaea Harbor where we went on a snorkeling trip and whale watching. The closest town is the surfing town of Paia, which was our favorite town on the island. Great restaurants and vibe.
We loved our week here and highly recommend it. John and Maggie were very gracious hosts!
