The cottage was perfect for a couple. Kitchen was stocked with useful items to allow cooking and eating on site. Sydney was a great host and communicated with us through the tsunami scare in August 2025. She was even gracious enough to let us have additional family members over during the evacuation, as they were staying at a resort on the coast. The land is lovely, and the story of how she and her husband have rehabilitated it into what it is today is inspiring. Our only minor gripes were proximity to a semi-busy road and lack of A/C, but our 3 nights here were the highlight of our whole 2 week Hawaii trip. We would definitely stay again. Mahalo, Sydney!

We had a fantastic stay in this cozy bungalow. The views are amazing and the decor was lovely. We saw deer walking a trail right underneath the deck and of course there are lots of chickens and roosters! The tour of the property was very beautiful and informative Would definitely stay here when visiting Maui again. Thank you so much Sydney!

Just a wonderful spot away from hustle and bustle. Cabin has a thoughtful and personalized style that makes home rentals so special. Sydney gave us an incredible tour of the property and the knowledge and care she displayed is very commendable. An incredible view off the deck let us watch the weather every morning and evening. We would come back for sure.

The cabin was clean, comfortable, and quiet, with a stunning view from the balcony, and beautiful grounds. It is centrally located, offering easy access to many of Maui's activities, including Haleakala National Park and the road to Hana. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in a picturesque location, it would be hard to beat this!

Beautiful mountaintop view all the way to the ocean, no need for AC with cool tradewinds. The location takes you easily to the Road to Hana or to Haleakala National Park. Super clean and well appointed, charming decor loved it!

We love staying in the Paia area and usually stay closer to the ocean. This booking was a short one, so we thought we would try something different. It was an excellent choice. great views, up country living, sounds of roosters, birds, butterflies. The host was very responsive and even offered to take us on a brief tour. A special place and when we come back to Maui will will stay again.

The coffee cabin was perfect for our short stay in upcountry Maui. The location was amazing & peaceful, and it was the perfect size for 4 people. Sydney is a great host, and the included local fruit/coffee, personal tour & access to the swimming holes were a wonderful addition to our stay. I highly recommend Sydney’s cabin to anyone looking to stay in upcountry Maui!

Wonderful cottage in the hills. The cabin itself is well appointed and very comfortable. Sydney was very responsive to any questions or concerns, and gave us a very informative and interesting tour of the large property on which the cabin is situated.
This was a charming property in an excellent location to get a local feel for the Island yet easy access to everything. The host where very accommodating and helpful. Did I mention how charming this place is?

We stay in Maui every year but always ocean front. This was a wonderful break from routine! The cabin is lovely set in the Maui rainforest but still a close drive to some of the best beaches on island. I highly recommend staying here for at least part of your vacation!

Usually our Maui stays default to oceanside stays. This time, we shook things up and stayed with Sydney on her coffee plantation. WOW! At night, after an evening of cocktails on the lanai watching the sun go down behind the West Maui mountains, the birds serenaded us to sleep. The property is gorgeous and Sydney's passion for the heritage & history of it is apparent. The cottage was well-equipped, her coffee delectable, the honey divine. And, we were just 5 minutes from Makawao shopping (and I did) and mountain bike trails (and hubby did). Sydney was super helpful with local resources and very responsive to questions before & during our trip. We will be returning in 2022!
