We were astonished at the level of service that was offered. "Full service" included daily laundry and cleaning. The beautiful studio apartment was stocked with a variety of foods that we enjoyed. The private outdoor area provided a place to relax. The location was far removed from the crowded resort areas, so we were better able to enjoy the natural environment of Maui. The Kula Botanical Gardens were nearby, as was Grandma's Coffee House. At 3000 feet elevation, this Upcountry location was in the perfect climatic zone. A walk around the neighborhood afforded views of Maalaea Bay.

We were pampered to a degree that we want Lori to return to LA with us! Her attention to the detail and full service is unparalleled. She knows Maui and she knows how to treat guests. Mahalo

The room is nice and there are positive amenities. No HVAC unit or even a small fire place so it gets pretty cold in January at night. Owner is nice but does move personal belongings around and seems a little OCD about where items, windows, etc. “have to go”. Wouldn’t stay again but it is nice for a couple nights.

Lori is an absolute pleasure. The unit is tucked in the perfect spot. Upcountry is the way to go to visit the island. Easy access to most of the island without feeling stuck I. The middle of a tourist trap. Go barefoot in the unit. The rugs are soft. Make a cup of coffee and catch the sunrise views. Poor a glass of wine and catch sunset. You'll never tire of the views from around the neighborhood. 10 out of 10.

Where to start? Lori has put so much thought and effort into creating a space where you can relax and enjoy the serenity of all that upcountry has to offer. The private patio entry with beautiful orchids, comfy furniture, gas stove and cooking amenities was the perfect place to prepare and enjoy breakfast every morning in the cool upcountry air. Lori being the ultimate host stocked the pantry with so many goodies we didn’t need to go shopping - it was all there! Inside the unit: so clean and cozy. Big king bed + smaller foldout futon for a child (or a shorter adult like my niece). No air conditioning but you don’t need it since you’re in the cool upcountry air. I’m not sure why but I didn’t experience any mosquitos which was fantastic! It’s summer now so we brought in a fan from in-laws when coming back from a day of adventuring and set it at the open doorway in the evening to quickly circulate the warm air out. In retrospect we could’ve simply asked Lori for this but didn’t want to bother her. Bathroom stocked with anything you need for shower or relaxing bath. Towels for bath provided as well as for beach. Beach toys, boogie board, umbrella, chairs provided as well. Lori was just a quick text away and so responsive I felt like if there was something we needed we could just ask her and she would accommodate us. The neighborhood was so quiet with little to no car traffic. My niece’s favorite thing to do was walk 2 minutes down the street and to the left to enjoy the spectacular upcountry sunsets. Even my wife who grew up in Kula commented on how gorgeous the view was. Even if we didn’t have family in Kula to hang out with my mom would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Lori for providing such a wonderful environment to enjoy upcountry beauty. ❤️

Our host Lori pampered us during our relaxing 9 day stay at this Upcountry Maui apartment. Situated just below the Haleakala cloud ceiling the area is lush and agricultural. The summit is just over an hour away. You will not find a cleaner place anywhere. 5 stars for cleanliness is not enough. Lori tries hard to see that the apartment is stocked with whatever you may need. Fresh towels and laundry service every day. Just come and enjoy Maui and the Upcountry view of the island. She tries to maximize your vacation time. Thank You So Much Lori! K&B

This was our second stay in 6 months. Lori does nothing disappoint. Perfect week!

Lori went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable, and we felt well taken care of. She has created a beautiful and relaxing space which was great to come “home” to after each day’s explorations. We had a great experience.

Lori’s paradise is a true JEWEL! As soon as you enter into her property, you feel in peace with your surroundings. The outside area is designed and decorated as if you were asked to relax into a lounge chair after a very expensive spa… Every detail has been thought through so you can relax and take either your breakfast, lunch or dinner and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. When you enter into the room, every piece of furniture is elegant and has its purpose. The pantry is full of good food that Lori makes sure to fill with your favorite food or drinks every day. As for the bathroom, it is also amazingly well decorated and has everything you can dream of for bath or shower. Very nice bathrobe and slippers are provided to enjoy every moments spent at Lori’s guest house. Lori is so attentive to all your needs, she makes sure you are truly enjoying your vacation into her guest house and does not want to do ANYTHING!!! No washing of any kind, she takes care of everything… FULL SERVICE PARADISE!!! Plus Lori put in our disposition all the things you need to enjoy the beach! My husband and I enjoyed every moment at Lori’s house and were sad to leave the place. The mountains are beautiful and the sunset is to die for! We were so glad to have met Lori and her little paradise. Hope we can see her again when she visits New York! I would highly recommend Lori’s paradise to friends and family!

Hands down the best stay I've had at any property. Lori was an amazing host in every way. We really enjoyed this area of the island, specifically for cycling. Great rides straight out the front door, easy access to the volcano, and perfect cooler weather. We would happily stay again and look forward to seeing Lori in the future!!

Our stay in this delightful cabin was the highlight of our trip to Maui. This cozy, comfortable cabin in the Haleakala mountain served as the perfect launching point for our adventures to the summit and other activities such as horseback riding, paragliding etc that were available to us. I would be remiss not to mention Lori. When we arrived in Maui, the rains had disrupted the water supply in Kula and we stayed in town in Lahaina the first couple of days. Lori kept us informed every day and kept the suite waiting for us the whole time. When we checked in, we were delighted to see that she had decorated the second bed with dolls, provided crayons, and beads, cute blankets, and towels. She had designed the whole space for my daughter. She was overwhelmingly kind and generous, and was ever responsive to our periodic calls and texts. She became more than a host, and part of our family. We were sad to leave at the end of our trip and say goodbye.

Clean, relaxing spot with a great host. Lori made me feel very at home. Would definitely recommend.

It is clear that Lorie loves her property and her guests. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, accommodating, and friendly. Our pantry was stocked with fun treats. The room was spotless and everything felt cozy; from the guest robes to the laundry service we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you

Thank you Lori for an unforgettable experience. Our family of three were welcomed and treated as family. Everything was better than expected. The room was very spacious, comfortable and private. our 13 month old toddler even had a carton of whole milk ready just within an hour of notice before arrival and brand new toys that were bought specifically just for him. Lori made sure that place was safe for him to play by covering electrical outlets and removing reachable glassware. Everyday, after a long day of hiking and sightseeing, we came back to a cleaned room with fresh towels, washed clothes, and filled our bellies with a fully stocked fridge of wine, seltzers, cheese, fresh eggs, water, and snacks. We came for the beach, waterfalls and mountain but wished that we could have stayed much more for the hospitality. I would recommend my family and friends to stay here knowing that they would absolutely enjoying their stay.

Lori has a special place waiting for you in the upcountry of Maui. A comfy and restful spot to come back to after a day of activity or exploring. Lori is a full service host and works really hard to make your stay comfortable. She tends to your dishes daily, does a load of laundry for you if needed, and stocks your pantry with some eggs, bread, fruit or other items so your mornings are enjoyable and relaxing. It's not the kitchenette you'll find in a condo, but you can prepare just about any meal. Very clean. Great bathroom. We really enjoyed our 5 nights at Lori's!!
