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.

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

This was a great find in Makawao! The inside of the Jungalow had tons of character, was skillfully decorated, and the views from the all glass back windows in the bedroom were just amazing. The kitchen and bathroom were beautifully updated, resort quality, and the bedroom just had the best view to wake up to. The pool and hot tub were so relaxing. At first I was nervous that we would have issues reserving the pool area, but there were tons of times available and we were always able to sign up for a slot when we wanted it. The only complaint I have is that the water took a very long time to get warm. The shower had to run a couple minutes to start to get hot, and the sink in the bathroom never managed to get hot at all. However, this place was definitely worth that minor inconvenience, and once the hot started in the shower it never had a problem keeping temperature. The bedroom (with a very comfortable bed) has its own separate floor, which just made it feel even more luxurious. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary here- this is definitely the place to choose for a honeymoon or anniversary. We did hop around the island on our trip, so Makawao is not super convenient if you desire to spend your days just hanging at the beach (we stayed in Kihei for that), but downtown Makawao was so cute and it was a pretty short drive to Paia, which had another nice downtown to shop, eat and walk. However, we did go back and forth about whether we wished we had just stayed here for a week and dealt with a little more of the driving to get to the south Maui beaches- it was that gorgeous of a place. Makawao is a beautiful countryside, and we personally loved it way more than the town of Hana, and the residents were much more welcoming. Be prepared for lots of winding, although well-paved, roads, to and from the jungalow. We would definitely stay here again. The owner greeted us when we arrived, and left delicious eggs from her own chickens for us to cook up for breakfast. A very private, relaxing, and spa like stay!

This property was one of a kind! We stayed there for 2 nights after having spent a few nights prior at a beach resort. The house was very clean and well maintained. It offered amazing views and the pool area was great to relax in. We will be staying there again if we find ourselves in Maui in the future!

Staying at this property in Maui was nothing less than incredible. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The property is unique and beautiful. The hosts (Dave and Dawn) are incredible people and we feel blessed to have met them. We cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Dave and Dawn for making our honeymoon experience amazing. -Mitch + Annie

The photos look incredible but that is nothing compared to the actual property itself! This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in and will definitely be coming back! The hosts accommodated the place with quality items and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Thanks so much again for hosting my partner and I.
