This location is amazing if you want peace, quiet, and privacy. The hosts, Frank and Ludy, are personable, warm, helpful, and kind. This is my favorite spot on Maui so far and I have stayed in several other places.At night, the forest frogs offer a symphony from the private patio. It’s magical.The place is clean and generously stocked with the essentials.Frank and Ludy are the best!I will definitely be back. Hopefully sooner than later!Thanks, Frank and Ludy, for the great experience!
Everything was comfortable and the place had anything we could possibly need for our stay. The location is perfect for exploring North & East Maui, Upcountry and the road to Hana. Our hosts were lovely and we will definitely be back if we can get back to Maui someday!

Quiet lovely place in paradise. Host was wonderful.
Excellent! Everything was over expectations! This was our 1st trip to any Hawaiian island and the stay here was better than imagined. This is where we will stay again when we return.
I stayed here for 15 nights and had no issues whatsoever. From the generous hosting gifts, and the cozy bed, I had a terrific home away from home. This place has everything you need and is so conveniently located on the north side of Maui. Close to Paia and to Hookina beach. I love having home cooked meals and this kitchen has everything I needed to cook. I would stay here again and will recommend it to all my friends.
We absolutely loved this studio! It was so spacious and private. Surrounded by fruit trees. It had everything we needed from shampoo and conditioner to ketchup and mustard! Loved sitting outside on the patio while we ate and listened to the rain. It had a washer and dryer which was convenient. We will definitely be booking here again!
We stayed 6 nights in this efficient studio cottage right off Hana Highway in Haiku. The space is pleasant, clean, and conveniently located. Grocery stores, restaurants, and beaches are a short drive away. The refrigerator was stocked with plenty of bottled waters and fruit juices and we enjoyed some fresh-picked lychees the owner left at the front door. We enjoyed the tropical plants and chickens. In short, a good place. Some aspects about the location that we experienced that we would like to share: the mosquitos are pretty thick which made it hard to enjoy the patio for more than a few minutes. There is some traffic noise from Hana Highway. There is no paved access from parking to front door.
Our stay was super smooth. The place was fully stocked with everything we needed, including bottled water, snacks, and a bottle of wine. It was super clean and easy to get to. We stayed here because we had a wedding nearby so the location was convenient. Would stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute hideaway. The suite was welcoming, incredibly well stocked, and everything we needed for our five days there. Frank was available if needed but we did not encounter any issues. Highly recommend if you are staying in the Haiku area or want to experience a different side of Maui.
My husband and I stayed here for a week during our trip to Maui and of all the places we stayed during this trip (and previous trips) this far exceeded anything we have ever experienced! The place is beautiful!! All the appliances and amenities are high end! Everything was stocked including things like butter, milk and even wine! And while this sounds goofy…even the toilet paper was Charmin! Not the thin stuff everywhere else has. Frank, the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful! You can tell the effort and thoughtfulness that he has put into his place and he truly wants his guests to feel comfortable and welcome. Of my 30 years coming to the island, I have never felt more Aloha spirit or stayed in such a beautiful place! And being in the rainforest was truly a one of a kind experience! So quiet and peaceful! We appreciated Frank and his place so much, there are no words. We will absolutely be returning! And many Mahalo’s to Frank and his wife, Ludy!
Very pleased. Well stocked.
Owner was gracious and kind and helpful
We just loved this studio. It was private and had a little patio area. Super clean and Frank is an awesome host! The studio is packed with snacks and water and toiletries and there was a cooler that we could use. Which was great while we went on and explored different parts of the island. It was close to a road that got you into town and on many adventures. We would definitely stay there again.
This is a very cute well stocked cottage located on property with owners house. Owner is very friendly and communicative. Make sure you have a car to get to town or sights. Owner supplied coffee, treats, drinking water and left a bottle of wine.
