Heaven on Earth in Upcountry Maui

If you are looking for a kicked-back, upcountry bungalow, this property is it. This is not a sterile condo, it is a quirky, lush property on a 1-lane road (great for walking) about 15 minutes from major amenities. There is an on-site property manager who is very helpful but leaves you alone. The island and upland views are beautiful and ever-changing with the changing cloud cover. When the clouds lift at night, the stars are spectacular. Not for everyone but we loved it.

This home is absolutely lovely. The sounds of nature and songs of birds were mesmerizing. We saw deer, turkeys, pheasants and mongoose from the back porch each morning. We made fires in the stove and snuggled up. It was fabulous. So many stars!

We had a great stay at Janice’s place - it was perfect for my wife, myself and our adult son. The property is in a beautiful setting in Up Country Maui. Sunset and star gazing were wonderful. We would gladly return.

Beautiful location

Sweet property, very comfortable, well cared for, well appointed with spectacular views. Super easy to work with the host and caretaker. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place with a great view onto the central island and the sea.

Absolutely gorgeous. I was expecting an incredible view but Star Lookout was even more. Absolutely quiet and peaceful. There were not very many neighbors but the few were friendly.If you want a relaxing place to unwind with no one else around, this is your place.

Our family had a wonderful time at the Star Lookout! The view of both sides of Maui from the deck were breathtaking and the property was beautiful. The house is eclectic and very cozy. The host was very good and communicated quickly and clearly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing stay in upcountry Maui. The cottage was super clean, well-stocked and exactly as described. We loved the location, a very peaceful, rural countryside vibe. Loved the cats, we could see deer, sheep and of course chickens! If you want a quiet peaceful stay away from the crowds I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here in Kula. The cottage was absolutely perfect with stunning views of the ocean and mountains. Thanks again to the host Zsuzsanna for welcoming us and making our stay very comfortable. Hope to see you again sometime soon

Star Lookout is located in upland Maui - the cottage has spectacular views of both east and west maui and amazing views of the night sky - so wonderful we deliberately got up in the middle of the night to see it

Nice place with good location. However, my son missed his morning coffee since there was none. In the bathroom, there was only a bar soap. For the price paid, would expect some standard amenities. We would have liked if Ray’s Cat gave us some space and privacy to enjoy the patio for our prayer and breakfast.

The amazing view

Outstanding property, outstanding host! Every bit of this sweet cottage made us feel at home and welcomed. The little details (like books and games and binoculars) and our feline visitors (shout out to Gin and Tawny) made this unforgettable. It's so peaceful and quiet and you can see straws for miles, not to mention the gorgeous Maui coastline. Loved the sheep and sightings of deer, birds and chickens. Apparently the road is one of the best in Maui for walking/running, you get the coast on one side and sweeping views of the emerald, undulating hills on the other. Waling distance to an adorable coffee shop. We love this place! Mahalo Janice, Ray and Barbara.

We have stayed here many times and each time is perfect. Tranquil, restful and stunning with dramatic cloud displays and grazing deer putting on a show for us. When I am tired and worn out I plan to return here and if that's not possible, I will return here in my mind. Thank you for sharing this special spot with us.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The pictures seem almost too good to be true online, but then when you get here, you realize that the pictures cannot capture the beauty. Loved it.
