Aloha, the 'Hawaiian Dream Temple' is your best choice for taking your vacation to the next level of serenity as you relax and unwind on the large wrap-around deck in your own private hot tub and admire the tropical flowers and vibrant fauna. Listening to the birds while relaxing on the lanai will be your favorite part of the day.
Perfect for romantic and private honeymoons, the interior is constructed of all hand woven bamboo, and with an open air plan, the ceilings and walls allow for tropical breezes to flow throughout the home. The living room is a vaulted Asian style ceiling and the kitchen is fully appointed with appliances and cooking utensils, as well as tea, and coffee.
Both bedrooms have queen-sized beds and a private lanai (Hawaiian for deck) with beautiful seating areas for morning relaxation or evening reading. The bathroom has an over-sized, deep Jacuzzi tub, plus a shower.
As a guest of the cottage, the owner has graciously extended use of his family pool so you'll have shared access to the amazing 40-foot fresh water swimming pool - located a quick 3 minute walk down the drive next to the main house. Designed with an Asian theme in mind, this tropical pool oasis has palm trees swaying in the breeze, creating the perfect place to let your stresses slip away. A lava rock waterfall gurgles next to a shaded balinese meditation gazebo that overlooks a bridge that spans the deep end and 1-foot-deep swimming moats for small kids.
The homeowners welcome you with Aloha and are passionate about creating a special space for your precious time away from it all!
THE LOCATION
The cottage is completely private and very much separate from the main house. You have your own large yard, private gated driveway and parking area. Situated away from the commercial and 'touristy' areas in the 'Upcountry' of Tropical Haiku, you'll be close to waterfalls, hiking trails, zip lining adventures, horseback riding, cycling routes, and Haleakala crater.
If you're interested in enjoying activities close to home, inquire about hiking to a local waterfall or participating in sound healing sessions with the on-site manager, Guia. The community pool is also available when you prefer to relax by the water.
The cottage is 15 minutes from beaches, the quaint surf town of Paia, and 10 minutes from the upcountry town of Makawao. Even closer is the world famous Ho'okipa beach with its legendary surf break and some of the best windsurfing,...

The property was awesome. It is located in an area that is much less touristy but worth it after a long day of traveling around the island. We covered so much of Maui during our visit. The beaches are a little rougher in this area because of the wind but still beautiful and worth checking out. Guia was very responsive and gave us some great suggestions on things to see. The nightly visits from their cat was a highlight for my kids. My 7 year old loved the pool. We plan to come back to Maui in a few years and we will definitely consider coming back to this location.

This place was simply magical - one of the most unique places we have stayed - beautiful property, quiet, secluded, serene. The cottage itself is lovely and well-appointed. It was a great stay for us and our three daughters. Kitchen was well-stocked. Hot tub on the porch was delightful and we all loved the access to the private pool! I would definitely book this wonderful place again if staying on the north shore of Maui!

Property was super comfortable, pool, hot tub, beds, well appointed and with lots of beach toys...Great daytime temperatures and perfect sleeping with cool breezes. We enjoyed both privacy and convenient location to Paia and beaches, Makawao, upcountry and Haleakala and road to Hana is just down the hill. Great vanilla or Lilikoi cinnamon rolls and breakfast at Baked on Maui close by. The Makawao Farmers Market and flea market is on Wednesday mornings and we has a great selection in the freshest produce. Guia and host helped make our vacation be what we were hoping for.

If being close to rain forests and peaceful/secluded stay is what you are looking for, then this is perfect for you.
Close to the first mile stop of road to Hana.
If you have infants/toddlers, then it could get slightly tricky, as there is not much you can do after sunset.
There are limited dining options closeby, so you need to plan well for dinner.
The hot spa tub was not operational when we were there. The common pool was not ultra clean if you are planning to use it for younger kids or toddlers.
Otherwise everything is as described and perfect for people who want to find something different from beachfront homes.

Wanted to be near Paia , the airport, and nearby beaches.
But in the morning we didn’t want to leave this cottage! It did feel like a bamboo temple!!
Perfect for our family gathering of 5.
And The pool was as special as the photos.
The friendly owner was near by in the main house and answered texts. And. Beach toys were appreciated.
If anything could be changed , would have a few more or brighter lights inside. Loved the wrap around porch , but like any porch , it makes the interior darker. And maybe more cushions on the sofa.. But these were very minor issues. Would be delighted to stay here again just the way it was.

After camping on Maui for the first few days, my wife and I were in dire need of a hot shower and some relaxation. We e-mailed Guia and asked if there was a possibility to check in a little early and she quickly responded w/ a "Yes, absolutely, your rental is ready." The shower was great, the hot tub even better. This is in a great, quiet location near the town of Haiku (great sushi restaurant) and near the little resort town of Paia. If you like the North Shore of Maui (which is a little rainy-for 5 minutes- and windy at times) then stay here! Amazing mornings with coffee, some rain and the sound of birds in the morning.

Place was beautiful and well kept. We were worried that there was AC but with the windows open at night it was perfect.

We stopped here in the middle of our honeymoon, and it was so nice to get off the beaten path from the resorts of Maui. We were able to live like locals, in such a lovely place. We’d absolutely stay again!
