This home was fantastic! The kitchen was stocked with all we needed for meal prep. The beds were spacious and comfortable. Tasey was quick to respond to texts. The entrance key code made it super simple to come and go from the home. The location of the house was perfectly in between beaches and the national park.
The property is a dream. Large house with separate entries for the walk out basement and upstairs units, perfect for two families to share. We loved the views, the fruit trees (particularly the lychees and mangoes) and my daughter was obsessed with the neighbour's goats who kept sneaking into our yard. The Eddie Tam park next door is huge and beautiful, great for sunset walks. We always stay in upcountry when we visit Maui, as we like the quiet and cooler temperatures, and central location on the island. The house had everything we needed - beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs and umbrella, small kitchen appliances, and a ton of washers and dryers so everyone could do laundry at the same time. The only negative was that the bathroom in the basement smelled awful. It was something we were able to tolerate but would reconsider staying in the basement if the problem isnt rectified. The owner was super responsive during our stay and also said she'd fix the bathroom issue. Overall we loved the place and we have wonderful memories from our visit. We look forward to returning.
Well equipped, beautifully decorated house. Excellent view. Owner very helpful and responsive to any questions. Mangos on trees which we enjoyed some of. Next to small farm with chickens (yes some crowing in the morning), goats, and cows which was fun. Centrally located on the island. Great stay.
Clean, comfortable, modern, calm friendly setting with amazing views. Tasey the owner/manager was kind, caring easy to talk to and work with. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. Wmy grandkids were ready to move in permanently The home is well furnished and I would highly recommend to anyone We loved the quaintness of Makawao
Our family stayed here for a week, and it could not have been more perfect. The house was spacious, spotless, and incredibly well-stocked—they truly thought of everything! From the little details to the big comforts, it felt like a home away from home. The location was amazing—close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!
Gorgeous! We had a wonderful stay at this property. Super clean and everything you need for a relaxing stay in Maui. The host was very responsive and provided easy to follow instructions. The location was perfect. Quiet and relaxing, but easy to quickly get to town. Highly recommended!
I absolutely love staying here! It’s a new yearly tradition and great location!
Lovely property and very enjoyable place to stay. Great location.
We loved staying at Tasey’s home. It was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. We’re looking forward to coming back soon.
This spot was fantastic. Great and clean home with good amenities. I stayed here with my family and we all felt like we had plenty of space to relax and enjoy our short vacation on the island. It was confusing at first, because downstairs is separate from the upstairs and can only be accessed through a separate door on the outside. The property The "2 acre" might be a little misleading. It's on a large plot of land, but it looks like most of it is owned by the neighbor and is used for livestock. It's fenced off from the backyard though. It's POSSIBLE that I don't have a good sense of area and it is actually two acres if you count the driveway, but it doesn't look or feel like two acres. That didn't dampen our experience though. We had a great time and felt like we had plenty of room.
We had a great time in Maui. The accommodations were great. Very nice home to stay in. All amenities are there. The fruit trees was a nice addition as well. There was a problem with the fridge but the owner was always in contact and rectified if very quickly. I would highly recommend staying here.
I have stayed in many rental homes and this is by far the best equipped rental home I have ever stayed in. We love to cook and usually can’t find enough pots and pans and utensils and this house had them all.We also had the privilege of their neighbors having goats and baby goats and cows which we enjoyed seeing from the deck of the house The house was also close enough to major towns And easy to find I would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain home in Maui! The location is incredibly private, nestled on 2 lush acres, offering a peaceful escape with stunning views, including glimpses of the ocean.The house itself is spacious and well-appointed. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal preparation a breeze, and the large dining area provided ample space for our group. For those staying on the lower level, the separate den and additional bedrooms were perfect, with easy access via the outside stairs. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights.We truly appreciated the thoughtful amenities and the tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind. This home had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway in Maui!The only complaint we had was the cleaners arriving before our checkout time, which made us feel a little rushed towards the end of our stay. Other than that, everything was perfect!
This property was awesome for our family of 10!! We appreciated the lawn chairs and beach toys. Having access to a washer and dryer was super nice!! Thank you!
Great spot! Really enjoyed upcountry Maui. Different than the typical beach vacation in Maui. Weather at this elevation is just perfect. Easy access to Haleakala. The house is spacious and was great for a large group. Well stocked and clean. We had a great time.
The central A/C (addition from last stay) was a huge plus keeping the house cool. Accommodating and clean, we are always pleased with our stay here.
Only problem was getting into the house - code would not work, apparently an internet problem. Cypher Lock on upstairs door was in process of being replaced so had to use a single physical key. Otherwise, loved the house, the amenities (provided beach gear, grill, washer/driers, kitchen, etc. Master bed high for short-legged oriental. Relationship with owner exceptional.
Felt like home, comfortable and peaceful!
My family and I had al wonderful time. The home was large enough for all of us to enjoy together and yet have our own little space. The location is so beautiful and quiet. I was able to get some good rest. The kitchen was clean and large enough to prepare meals for my family. The house was and property is clean and I am ready to book this home for another staycation 🌺
Mahalo nui,

Such an amazing place. Would definitely stay at this location again
We loved our stay in this well equipped, very clean and beautiful location. The house is luxurious and comfortable with an amazing view. Mahalo to the host for the easy and quick communication.
The house was wonderful for our stay, each couple/family had plenty of room separately and together. The location was great, very close to downtown Makawao which had good shopping and restaurants. The photos/description online was a little different for the downstairs, the living room space was better than the photos, and the kichen area had been turned into a sleep space, but everything else seemed to match well or be better than expected. Check in/out was very easy. Ammenities were great. There are goats and other animals on the neighboring properly that were fun to watch, the roosters crowing in the morning were a little loud for some of our group, but didn’t bother everyone. Overall, we would definitely consider staying here again.
My family had a great stay at this property. Everything was as described and owner was super responsive to questions. Our stay was relaxing as this property is really quiet. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a countryside getaway with short drives to Maui’s beautiful beaches and trails.
House has a great layout. Plenty of amenities. Three pairs of washers and dryers is a huge bonus!
Clean, easy to access, well stocked house in upcountry. Was perfect for home base for adventures on the whole island.
We really enjoyed our time here. Everything was clean and well supplied. The host was very quick to respond to an issue and fixed it quickly. She was very nice and even gave us some activity suggestions. We stayed here with our family of 5 plus my mother and everyone had their own spacious and comfortable room to sleep in. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was really a 5/5 star review, but I marked listing accuracy a 4/5 because it listed the first floor as having a kitchen and the pictures showed an old tv, but they improved it by replacing with nice new tvs and converted the kitchen into more of a bedroom. There was still a fridge and coffee maker down there though I think. We had the kids stay downstairs and they loved having their own space and bedrooms. We enjoyed the view off the lanai and watching the goats and cows. I would definitely stay here again if we ever come back and I would highly recommend this place. It was also a nice location in the mountains where you’re closer to the road to Hana, Haleakalā, the airport, and Costco among other things. Thank you for providing such a nice place for us to stay!
We were a large family but there was plenty of room for us all (10 and babies). The location was perfect for anywhere you wanted to go on the island and the house met the highest standards. We had everything we needed for cooking, for washing and for the beach. One hiccup was we lost air condenser the first day but the owner resolved it right away. Not a problem most would ever encounter. Oh, and we laughed at the goats, cows, and birds interacting next door. A calf was born the first day. And we could even see the ocean from a distance! Mahalo!
We all (8 of us) liked the property. It had everything you need for cooking etc. Very nice appointments. We all enjoyed our stay there.

This is our second time staying at this property and we love it so much. There have been some updates since our last visit and we love it even more now. It's the perfect space for our large family, with plenty of room for the kids to run and explore. They loved seeing geckos every day, listening to the birdsong and crowing of the roosters, and saying hello to the goats next door.
The complaints we have are fairly minor: We couldn't find the beach towels. There weren't enough bath towels for all of us. The WiFi didn't work for over a day (and with cell service being pretty shotty, it made it difficult to research and make plans for the next day). And for a vacation home, there definitely should not be any "not microwave safe" plates and bowls. Even though they were pretty!
Our biggest complaint was the cleaning crew arrived early and, though checkout wasn't until 11am, they came up the driveway at 10:45 and hovered around until we left. This seemed rude and unprofessional to us. Getting six kids (and even more suitcases) loaded into the car is enough as it is without feeling "watched" and pressured to hurry. I know it's a LOT of work to clean and prepare a rental house, but it's my feeling that there should be at least a 15-minute buffer to allow guests to fully exit the property before the cleaners come in to do their job. We have stayed at many, many VRBOs and this is the first time we've ever ran into this issue.
Overall, a most wonderful place to stay, though!
We had such a great time at Tasey's place. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tasey responds quickly and we couldnt ask for a better host. The house is equipped with everything we needed and we loved the lanai. It really felt like it was our home for the few days we were there. This was a perfect stay and we would definitely stay again. The one thing that was different is now there is an extra bed, which was perfect! 100% recommend!
