Ten stars! We were so lucky to find this retreat nestled on the mountainside above the town of Kula. The bicoastal views are spectacular, and while you're not steps away from the beach, you are a very convenient drive away from so many sights and locations on the island of Maui. Just stop in at Grandma's Coffee House a few miles away for some fuel and get out there! But back to the cabin and its review: I am hesitant to post this because it really is something I'd love to think of as our own private getaway, but in all fairness, it deserves to be used fully. What it is: A 100 year-old log cabin with full kitchen amenities, an extremely comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and enough low-tech amusement (books, puzzles, views) to keep you cozily occupied for days. There are thoughtful touches throughout and we really loved the hospitality. Kula is a farming community and there are amazing gardens as you come to the cabin (a protea farm is just above the turnoff for the cabin... wow!), and there are some amazing plants surrounding the cabin itself. This is the lush Hawaii everyone hopes to see and smell. Nights are quiet and still, with only the sounds of nature. What it doesn't pretend to be: The cabin is neither heated or cooled with any central source other than the fireplace. We didn't need need to build a fire, but the air is comparatively fresh and cooler at that elevation. In the afternoon, we just opened a window or two and set the fans going to bring the temperature right. Please remember that the building is a hundred years old and carries many of its original features-- while very, very clean, if you have sensitivities to wood smoke, you may notice it. Also, if you absolutely feel the need to be connected to the outside world, you'll need to use your own phone data-- no wifi or television to interrupt the paradise that vacation is supposed to be! Parking is nearby, but there is no pavement between that area and the cabin-- wear shoes that you don't mind walking through damp lawn with to get to the cabin (and then take them off, as is custom in Hawaii). We loved all these aspects-- it made us feel as though we were reconnecting to a part of ourselves that is so often muted. It truly felt like a retreat. Please book with confidence that you'll be treated very well and that the location is spectacular and very comfortable. Aloha!
