My husband and I started our stay in Maui at this beautiful cottage, and it was the perfect beginning to a wonderful vacation! From the moment we were greeted by Eve (and a chicken!) in the yard, we knew we had chosen the right place. The cottage and surrounding land were even better than one can imagine from the photos. We loved sitting by the stream behind the cottage, which is absolutely beautiful. Eve was extremely helpful to us in planning our visit and hiking on Haleakala, choosing a restaurant, etc. She also had coffee and cookies waiting for us - definitely a plus. This is a great location for starting your vacation on Maui, as it is close to the airport, yet close to Haleakala National Park, several small towns, and beaches - you can settle into the peacefulness of Maui before heading down the road to Hana. We would definitely love to stay here again and highly recommend it to those who want something other than the resort experience.
