Lori and her B&B are absolutely phenomenal. The space is lovely and incredibly well stocked. She was beyond thoughtful furnishing toys, books, and a play area for our 2 year old. It was an excellent stay. We will be back!
Amazing property in Maui's beautiful upcountry. This was the perfect place to relax away from everything at the end of our vacation. The drive through upcounty was serene with stunning views. Lori was a wonderful host and has thought of everything. We were extremely happy with our stay.
This was my first time staying in a VRBO property. It was much better than I expected. Lori bought all kinds of gourmet Hawaiian foods, they were so good!! I would definitely recommend it
Great host and nice property. Incredibly well provisioned. Barking dog next was a bother.
So much to see and do up here. Winery, high quality coffee shops and restaurants are all within 15 mins. Not to mention a huge time savings driving to Haleakala and Hana. Many farms to tour from tequila to chocolate to honey and friendly people everywhere. Speaking of which, our host Lori left us wanting for nothing with laundry service and the best pantry we’ve seen hands down. The sunset walks down Thompson Road were our favourite with the island on full display below you.
Much Aloha in Upcountry.
Lori's B&B was perfect for our family of 3. The views from this part of the island are absolutely stunning. A bit of a drive if you're going to be in West Maui or driving the full Road to Hana, but we loved being out of the resort areas and the privacy Lori's place provided.
Lori is a gracious hostess and delivered on her promise to have our breakfast choices provided, even replenishing our juice when it ran low.
Having a bottle of wine and beer of choice chilling in the refrigerator on the day of arrival was a wonderful treat.
If you're looking for a room with a small kitchenette a grill away from the busy tourist areas, this place is a true gem.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO location. The property was well maintained, very clean and luxurious. We loved spending time on the outside patio as well. Lori provided excellent service, quality and attention to detail! We appreciated her Aloha Spirit through and through. Mahalo & A Hui Hou!
A great location for accessing the north and south shores and of course the Maui upcountry right in the back yard. Lori was a wonderful host with attention to details and selections of treats and beverages. Easy and fast access when communicating any time we had a question. Will definitely be coming back! Aloha.
Stay here! The location is a little off the beaten path, but let's be honest, you'll be driving the Road to Hana anyway (If you are looking to do the back half of the Road to Hana, this location is great for an early start going counter-clockwise [stop at Grandma's Coffee House]).
The drive to Kahului, Lower Paia, Kihei, and the vistas on the way are all worth it. Please, stay here and enjoy the retreat. My fiancé and I stayed here for four nights on the first half of a trip to Maui with my parents before their arrival, and if we could have stayed here the whole time, we both agree we would have.
Lori was kind, communicative, tidy, and made us feel like we were family. Our pantry was stocked, the grill was always ready for us to use when we made breakfast in the cool morning breeze, the cozy space was spruced up when we left in a hurry in the mornings to explore Kula and Keokea and the rest of Maui. At the higher altitude, mornings & evenings are comfortably cool, allowing you to keep your windows open and enjoy a breeze, no air conditioning required (November visit).
The upcountry areas are rich with history, people, culture, and explorable areas. Pukalani, Makawao, and Paia all provided unique places to discover outside of the well-traversed Kihei. While we were here, we found several locations for Live Music (all genres), creative spaces & studios, distilleries & wineries, local theatre, & lesser social-media'd but still incredible food.
Thank you again, Lori!
The suite was perfect for what we needed. Appreciated the pantry for our adventures. Great location to explore upcountry and to be close to Haleakala. Host was superb and went above and beyond.
We were astonished at the level of service that was offered. "Full service" included daily laundry and cleaning. The beautiful studio apartment was stocked with a variety of foods that we enjoyed. The private outdoor area provided a place to relax. The location was far removed from the crowded resort areas, so we were better able to enjoy the natural environment of Maui. The Kula Botanical Gardens were nearby, as was Grandma's Coffee House. At 3000 feet elevation, this Upcountry location was in the perfect climatic zone. A walk around the neighborhood afforded views of Maalaea Bay.
We enjoyed our stay and the hospitality was wonderful.
Our stay in the Jewel of Keokea was beyond expectations. Our hosts were extremely attentive and provided us with all that we could ever need and more. The suite was extremely clean and the hosts provided full service, we did not have to worry about a thing. Most will seek to stay at the beach resorts but we found much pleasure in staying in the mountains of upcountry Maui. There are convenient restaurants, activities, and experiences in the area that you don't find on other parts of the island. We were able to travel to each corner of the island with ease, we found that staying in the upcountry made our drives much easier actually. It is right off of the highway and an easy drive from the airport. The weather was beautiful the entire day and the view spectacular. I don't think any other hotel or BNB stay I've had has competed with this one. Lori is a beautiful soul and we are so grateful that we chose this spot as our home for the week on Maui. Our stay would not have been the same if we had not stayed in the Jewel of Keokea, the sweet Maui Escape. We highly recommend this suite for both couples and small families, all of your needs will be met and you will leave Maui with a great stay experience.
The area, upcountry Maui.
The service above and beyond , which made for a wonderful stay.
Amazing place! Super clean with all that you might need (and more); the best is really Lori who really made this stay the highlight of our trip - better than any hotels we have been to. Super friendly welcome with daily checks to make sure everything is perfect for us. Greatly appreciated!
Will definitely go back when we step on the island again.
