My husband and I wanted a quiet place in the mountains to get away, and boy did we find it. The property is one of a kind and has an immense amount of history that you won't find anywhere else. Perfect for couples! The host Sydney was amazing. Couldn't recommend higher.

The cabin is a comfortable, cozy retreat with a killer view of jungle and ocean. Everything inside is designed to help you relax and unwind -- big roomy sofa, well-stocked kitchen with high-end appliances, king size bed. The wrap around porch is perfect for morning coffee, reading a book all day, or evening cocktails. And the tour of the property was beyond anything we imagined. This is historically-important land nurtured to lushness by Sydney and her husband. The surprises they have found are amazing. Be sure to see the 200 year old Mango tree and the petroglyphs. We hope to return soon!

We had a great time at this small cottage near Makawao. A perfect place to spend some time in non tourist Hawaii. Sydney is a perfect host- don’t miss the tour- a highlight. We will be back!

We loved our stay at Sydney’s place. The views are spectacular and great being away from the busy parts of Maui. The extensive property is so interesting and Sydney was a delightful hoat.

The property is truly amazing! Through the tour we learned all about the history of the property and got to see some incredible plants. As you would expect, jungle wildlife (geckos and mosquitoes) are present but they are generally friendly!

My husband and I had an amazing stay. The zen-like cabin was amazing and just what we needed. Sydney's (owner) attention to detail was not lost on us...from the natural river rock shower to the creative inlaid tiles in the kitchen...so many eclectic and enchanting finds with the expansive view as a back drop. Sydney took us on a tour of the coffee farm and it was the highlight of our Maui trip. The welcoming host, lush landscape, petroglyphs and peaceful atmosphere...well, we didn't want to leave! We not only had a relaxing vacation but we feel we have a new friend. We will be back!

The house was very clean and set up well for our stay. Lovely kitchen and surrounding deck. Loved the expansive view and surround sound of the forest birds. Sydney provided an excellent tour and history of the island. Too bad the drought has dried up the waterfall on the property. Very convenient access to the Road to Hana sights and upcountry area.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. It was located in a wonderful spot for bird watching and enjoying the sounds of nature. The property was a great adventure visiting the petroglyphs, stream and wonderful old trees. It was especially interesting after the tour given by the owner Sydney who is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and Hawaiian culture. Sydney is a great host. She is always available for questions and ready to help. This was our last stop in our three island adventure and it was the perfect way to conclude and wonderful visit to Hawaii. We certainly hope to be back in the next two years and would love to stay in the cottage again.

We LOVED this property. The land is gorgeous and a labour of love by Sydney and her husband. Take a tour with her! The home itself is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed. We had everything we needed and more as all the details are thought through (like extra sunscreen). Comfortable beds. The coffee and honey made on site is great. Are you guys both done let’s finish up yeah but you’re done yourAmazing view!! We will absolutely come back! Thank you, Sydney.

We had a great experience here! I highly recommend taking a tour of the property. It’s a unique experience. This is the perfect location if you want to explore Maui. It’s away from the super touristy sections but very easy to get on the Road to Hana or to head south on the island. Sydney was a great host and very easy to communicate with

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 really enjoyed our way-too-fast 9 nights at this lovely property over Christmas. Sydney is a fascinating individual - talking to her for a couple hours is something I will remember for decades to come! The property is an astonishingly large estate (coffee farm) - you literally need the map so as to not get lost over these 25+ acres! There is just something incredibly satisfying about picking an orange from a tree and immediately eating it. The cabin itself was great - a lot of attention to detail here on her part. The best-equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a short-term rental. Boogie boards to borrow. Various kitchen condiments - so we did not have to go out and buy them. Great advice from her on local restaurants and groceries. My advice is to start literally every morning with a 45-minute stroll around the grounds - after a nice cup of coffee on the lanai while overlooking the waterfall and Pacific Ocean. She might laugh that I am writing this - but the most striking (revealing) thing to me about Sydney and her husband is the utterly basic mailbox their own marvelous house has many hundreds of yards away at the roadside - it looks like it cost maybe max $25 and must have 25 years of rust on it (?); I just loved this as a symbol of the kind of old-school Hawaiian modesty that she and her husband exude! In my neighborhood in suburban Atlanta, someone would surely make a fuss about such a "crappy" mailbox. Just a great stay on a lovely Maui trip! Saying 5-stars just does not do this place justice!

Wonderful spot to immerse yourself in upcountry nature and hospitality. Plus the coffee is fantastic!

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!

Perfect experience!

cozy studio with a lovely view. Host is very kind and helpful.

This was the most amazing experience. So much more than just a cabin.Great access to everywhere on the island. Lots of local hotspots.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our Maui babymoon. We really loved the place. It has a great location in the upcountry, close to the cute little town of Makawao, a short drive from the beach and Haleakala. Our host Sydney was fantastic, very friendly but gave us space if we wanted to have privacy. She gave my wife a farm tour which was awesome and she learned a lot about the area. This place does not have the cheap "continuous rental" feel like some places do. The view from the back porch is incredible! There is no AC there which could be a turnoff for some people, but it's in an area that is much cooler than the lowland beaches. There are also loud, invasive coqui frogs that chirp all night and roosters that seem to be confused about when sunrise is, but this would be a thing anywhere in the area. Just bring earplugs.Overall we loved the place and would definitely stay there again on a future visit to Maui.

Sydney’s property is amazing. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Sleeping at night and listening to the jungle was incredible. The bed is super comfy and Sydney’s decorating touches made this stay memorable. Sydney’s tour was great. We learned so much history about the property and the plant and animal life. When we come back to Maui, we will definitely stay here again.

Sydney was absolutely amazing!! Such a great place to get away and unwind.

We stayed in several spots during our 11-day trip to Maui, and this was a really special spot. A check-list for departing the premise sums up the experience beautifully, "There's no need to clean the cottage before you leave. You're on vacation, leave that to us. "We wanted to avoid people with the pandemic, and this fit the bill. The cottage was amazing, with beautiful views, and the BEST rainbows. We LOVED the night time sounds, sitting on the lanai for hours in the evening (and the mornings). The very best part of renting the space was our host, Sydney. She is amazing! She showed us around the property (which is a must), and shared history, information on the flora and fauna, and her own incredible story with the property. It's priceless to have spring-fed pools to explore and swim in all to yourself (you aren't sharing with anyone!) Our little one loved foraging for passion fruit and tangerines on the property. Sydney even helped me via text with questions I had later in our trip. She was so beyond wonderful and helpful. The only downside to the property is the location right on the road. You do hear light traffic most of the day and night, but it was a small price to pay for the other positives, and the roosters drown out the traffic noise in the early morning. :) My eco-heart was so happy knowing Sydney composts on the property too - such a bonus!

Pictures and descriptions do not give this property justice. The cottage is cute and well equipped (coffee! a blender! juicer! so many towels! laundry! dishwasher! chairs you can take to adventure!) but what steals the show is the lush view from the balcony during the day and the stars at night. I highly suggest getting a tour from Sydney of the property, so you can see the pools and waterfalls and all the delightful agriculture they have on site. If you want to explore the property, you will need solid shoes with a grippy sole, and maybe a rash guard and/or long pants depending on the season and your tolerance for bugs, but there is bug spray and flashlights available to you in the cabin. Sydney is an incredibly gracious and generous host, personable and a strong communicator. We did not want for anything, and she went above and beyond for us during a bit of a traveler crisis (some limited resources available on the island). I cannot recommend this property enough and I hope you enjoy it too - but don't tell too many friends, it should remain a secret gem for as long as possible... I cannot wait to return.

Great cottage and location!

Absolutely perfect place to start our honeymoon. We loved everything, the view, the fresh fruit and honey, the cool host, the history of the land, slept well in the bed and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook meals easily. Wish we would have stayed a whole week. Next time!

My husband and I stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon, and we absolutely loved it! The property was beautiful and private and felt like we had our own little valley in Maui. There’s another rental house within view of the Coffee Cabin, but it’s far enough away that the cabin still feels secluded. Sydney was a wonderful host and always responding within minutes when we asked her what we should do or where we should eat. For those in love with nature and not obsessed with having a Hawaiian beach vacation, living in the midst of a tropical forest sounded and smelled like a spa from the moment we entered. The only downside was that the roosters began crowing super early in the morning and they were everywhere, but we got used to them. It was nice to be able to go a few miles down the road for dinner or lunch at a food truck and not have to deal with the traffic of the bigger cities. Overall, we loved our stay here and hope to visit again someday!

We like this house so much. It is located in a stunning peaceful location with scenic view of waterfall. You can also walk a beautifully trail from the house to the river. the house has everything you need for living. Sydney is a very nice and caring host, she brought us fruit and coffee, and always helped us. You always want to go back to this house.

We absolutely loved this place. Sydney is amazing and a wealth of knowledge about the area. We loved the tour of the property and learning about it's history! Dean & Nakita
