Very special place. You really feel a part of Maui rather than a tourist. The view is amazing. It is a bit cooler up island than down at the beach, maybe 5-10 degrees cooler than the beach. I really enjoyed the outdoor shower with a view. Very private and quiet. Very responsive host and check in/out could not have been easier.

This ohana has an amazing view and everything you might need for a sweet stay, from decks to a tuck away loft for viewing your favorite shows. It was very comfortable and well thought out.

Friendly owner greeted us to the property. I wouldn’t advise trying to find the property in the dark, very tricky driveway/road to the house. Beautiful lush surroundings with a distant view to the ocean and valley. Very quiet and peaceful. The lodging itself is a little quirky with bedroom located on the top floor where the best view is. No bathroom on the top floor. Comfortable bed and bed linens, no headboard for sitting up in bed. The kitchen is well equipped for long stays and cooking.

This place is special. Magical in a sense. The scope of what it has to offer can’t be put into words. But if you want a breathtaking experience just book it. David is fantastic. Mahalo!

Dream location. The photos in the listing are very nice but being there was special in so many unexpected ways. Constant new discoveries of beauty in sight and sound. The amenities were everything we needed. Dave and Dawn were the most interesting and coolest hosts. Never intrusive but there if you needed them. They have created a sanctuary that visitors will respect, enjoy immensely and remember long after they leave. Liz and Tim J

We enjoyed our stay very much. The sunset views were breathtaking, the yard is full of color and birds. The bed and couch are very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub on a foggy night- the ambiance was very cool. Our host is very kind and responsive.

We loved our stay in the Jungalow and did not want to leave. The views are spectacular. You can see the entire valley, the north shore, the south shore and the West Maui Mountains all at once. The sunsets were jaw dropping. They are different when you see them from 3000 feet up on the side of Haleakala. We used the pool, the hot tub and the sauna a lot. It is a real pool that you can swim laps in. And the hot tub is actually hot, as is the sauna. It was our private spa to use whenever we wanted. I swam every morning and evening. The grounds are covered in gardens and there are countless birds. You do not hear or see any neighbors. It cools off at night to an ideal sleeping temperature. The jungalow is well furnished and has everything you need for 2 people. Staying up country is the best and unlike anything else in Maui. Would 100% come here again.

Nestled on the side of the mountain, the views from every room are amazing. The bed and pillows are so fluffy and comfortable, and when you wake-up, you can just gaze out of the window from bed. The pool is refreshing, the hot tub is relaxing, and the sauna is detoxifying.

The pictures in the listing don't do it justice. One of the most beautiful vacation rentals we stayed at.

Our stay in the upcountry Jungalow was amazing. Our hosts, David and Dawn were very responsive and were super helpful with all of our needs. The views at this property makes you want to stay and never leave. It is only a short drive from downtown Makawao, which has great shops and restaurants and very close to Paia as well. We will be staying here again on our next visit!

Everything as advertised, including the reviews. My wife walked through the door and immediately said “cancel all plans for our stay, we’re not leaving this place.” Beautiful views and the quietude was just what we were looking for in getting away from the busy life, kids and dogs for a quick getaway.

This quiet getaway is simply unbelievable. The pictures look amazing and the actual view is even better than comes across. If you want a calm, serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle this is absolutely the place to book!

Pix online are accurate, but still don't do justice to the actual experience. Great views, quiet; attentive, caring owners. Excellent! Highly recommend & would stay here again.

The jungalow is up a winding road to a magnificent view of the old volcano and the ocean. Don’t be intimidated by the road. It’s only 8 minutes to the best bakery and sweet town and a perfect location to explore the Road to Hana, the north shore and Haleakala summit. Upcountry is peaceful and enchanting and the road is beautiful with so many types of foliage! Dave and Dawn are excellent hosts and we were even given fresh eggs, avocado and I picked my own lemons and limes. Loved our stay.

Beautiful property with stunning views Peace and tranquility throughout our stay. Gracious hosts. Our family thanks you very much. A divine experience.

Magnificent views from Maui Upcountry. Lushly landscaped, tastefully decorated and provisioned with all the comforts of home. Dawn is a gracious host.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the location of this property. It sits on the west side of Haleakala with a 3000 foot elevated sunset view of green rolling hillside pastureland, the island’s central valley, West Mountain, Kahului and both North and South Pacific shores. The road used to access the “Jungalow” is several miles uphill from Makawao on a small winding road with very little traffic. Makawao is a very special little town with some of the most unique shops on the island. Its history is that of ranching and farming and still exhibits that culture. It is very close (by mainland standards) to many good restaurants, grocery stores, and natural sites. The property itself is a few hundred yards (and out of site) from the main road and is primarily composed of two rental properties along with the owner’s home. There are several shared facilities including trails, pool, hot tub, sauna, and parking. Although the Jungalow is detached from the others, there was occasionally foot traffic and activity nearby. Privacy was generally helped by a privacy hedge out the west-facing window. This cottage was a very nice blend of classic construction (maybe timber?) with modern updated features. This included new appliances, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing, handrails, window treatments, bedding and a gas barbeque pit. The owners have obviously spent some thought and time upgrading, decorating and maintaining the facilities. It was already stocked with many items I thought I needed to bring. All in all, it was very comfortable, stylish and functional with stunning views. And the cats made me feel right at home. It is hard to list any negatives for this rental. There are only a couple of items to note. The TV loft, although comfortable when you get there and the flat screen is very good, the clearance at the top of the stairs is only around 4 and a half feet (that’s a guess) making it a bit awkward to enter and exit if you’re, say, 6 foot or taller. And they might want to plane the sticky door on the second level. It was very difficult to open.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage in Maui's upcountry. The views of the valley are amazing, and the cottage contained all we needed to prepare our own meals. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

We could not have been happier with our stay. The bungalow was spotless and well maintained. The hosts were so welcoming and inviting but also provided us with our own peace and tranquility around the property. Would definitely rent from David and his family again.

Wonderful stay, property is absolutely stunning! Highly recommend.

Fabulous spot, felt so welcome and well cared for. A few days was perfect counterpoint to hot beach time. Love Macawo and Haiku. We can't wait to come back.

David welcomed us upon arrival and offered immediate help should we need it. The place looks exactly as it is presented on VRBO and offers stunning views. The kitchen is well equipped and the pool looks beautiful although we didn’t use it. The one suggestion I could offer is to let travelers know in the accommodation description that the master bed is on a different floor from the only bathroom.

After spending 5 nights along Kaanapali Beach and 2 nights in Hana, we capped it off with 2 nights UpCountry in the Jungalow. We wished we could have stayed longer! Loved the interior design, the views were awesome (day and at night) and the privacy was excellent even with the other property onsite. The actual property is better than the great pictures on the site. It was easy booking the hot tub/pool for some private time after a day of sightseeing. The Jungalow is a charming place to stay with all the right personal touches that earn this VRBO property the 5 stars it deserves. You won't be disappointed staying here!

What a truly relaxing experience. Sit by a pool on the side of one volcano while looking across at another one. I mean, come on! Such gracious hosts and what a lovely property. Start the day greeted by the cool and warm colors of the sun rising behind you upon the isthmus below. Then while away your day watching the assortment of clouds or ao drift by. Top it off with a vibrant sunset in the hot tub. Doesn’t get more relaxing than this. Mahalo Dawn and David!

I told them upon leaving that I don't think I could ever return to Maui without staying here again. This was the absolute PERFECT way to kickstart me time on the island. The views, the birds, the smells, the special touches — beyond my expectations. They had a beautiful bouquet of protea, fresh picked limes/avocados, and fresh eggs from the property awaiting me when I walked in. It was just me and the owners for my days, and it was rare that we even bumped into each other, but totally lovely to chat when we did. So much information and insights about how to best enjoy the property and time on Maui. Sharing the pool/sauna area via the app was a breeze. I am a cold swimmer, so the cool pool and ability to do hot/cold plunges was so helpful after a travel day and then soreness from hiking. Rainbows, sunsets, proximity to upcountry things / Makawao and overall GREAT VIBES all made this an exceptional stay.

Words can describe how beautiful this property is! Between the view from the room, the unique foliage on the grounds and the pool area I was blown away! This is a great place for a couple to explore upcountry, we found a lot to do in the area! The property was clean and in great condition. I would stay here again!

We were captivated by the fabulous views, the privacy, peacefulness and the decor. The kitchen was well stocked and loved the romantic master bedroom.

Peaceful get-away with a great view. Everything we needed was there. Hosts were friendly and respectful of privacy.

Great hideaway, very peaceful. Great for people who enjoy the outdoors. Takes a bit of time to get to the larger towns/restaurants.

We had a lovely time at this property for our anniversary. The pool area which you can reserve for private time is just amazing and the view is world class!

We had an unbelievable time celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary at this beautiful property. The views were amazing. We woke up one morning to a full rainbow that seemed to land right on the hill behind the house. The song birds seemed to surround you every morning. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we would need. The bedroom and loft were so comfortable and private. The hot tub and pool were easy to reserve and it felt like they were our own. David was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive to questions I had. We had a private chef, who he recommended, cook us dinner at the property one night. I highly recommend this experience. The food was out of this world and the views from the upper deck were amazing. We were looking for a private, quiet place to spend our anniversary and this place did not disappoint. We will definitely be back when we return to Maui.

My spouse and I stayed in the Jungalow for a couple nights and loved our experience. The views from the property are breathtaking and serene. We loved how we could reserve pool time and enjoy it to ourselves. David and his wife were great hosts- wish we could have stayed longer!
