This property is a hidden jewel in a lush garden /Farm setting—a gardener's delight! In addition to the farm we have a 10,000 sq. ft. greenhouse full of plants! We offer water lily, and succulent classes as well as Farm Tours1
This house is versatile in how many it can sleep; It is MUCH larger than it looks. It has 5 bedrooms (one is a spacious loft and one is a studio suite. All total there are 10 beds. All located on several acres of lush tropical beauty. There is another small rental cottage on the property and additional accommodations on nearby properties so if you have a larger group, contact me about the possibilities.
The house has a large living room, covered lanai, fully equipped kitchen, picnic/BBQ areas, and WiFi. It has gas stove/oven, microwave, toaster oven coffee maker, dishwasher, blender, citrus juicer, ironing board, iron, three bathrooms --2 have a bathtub/shower, the other a shower. There is plenty of off-road parking.
This is a 3 story house with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. You enter on the middle floor, which has a master bedroom with Queen sized bed, and a Master bath with shower/bathtub, stained glass windows. This floor also has the fully equipped kitchen, dining room and cathedral ceiling/window living room. The Lanai is off the kitchen.
The upstairs has a loft bedroom with two queens (open air to the living room and the large cathedral ceiling below-access like normal room/NOT a ladder!) and another bedroom with two twin beds, as well as a bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower.
The bottom floor has a studio suite with a king sized bed and a queen Murphy bed and another bedroom with a queen sized bed, a twin trundle bed (2 twins) and a laundry room.
This property is located immediately next door to The Sacred Garden (with two walking labyrinths, succulent gardens, water gardens, meditation gardens) and is where we (the owners) live, so you have easy access to us if you need anything but with plenty of privacy. There are other long term tenants and farm workers on the 8.5 acre farm.
The property is in close proximity to World-Class Kite and Windsurfing at Ho'okipa and the famous Jaws big surf site. Great hiking trails are just 3 miles away. Haliimaile General Store and Mama's Fish House are minutes away. Haleakala National Park is only 50 minutes away.
We are 2 miles to Makawao Town restaurants and shops, 3 miles to Haiku Town, 5 Miles to Paia Town and Baldwin Beach. The airport is only 15-20 minutes away but you will feel like you are far away from it all in this absolutely peaceful garden setting.
We have a working diversified farm using organic practice. Access to this property and our adjacent property, The Sacred Garden, allows you to go on walks through 8.5 acres of an incredible tropical setting. We will happily offer a tour so you can learn about Hawaiian plants, coffee production, water lilies, etc.. We have mango, coconuts, coffee, papaya, lemon, tangerine, bananas, avocados, lilikoi (passion fruit) macadamia nuts, lychee, breadfruit, and flowers galore—haleconia, bird of paradise, and ginger. Different flowering trees take turns blooming so the valley is constantly featuring a different splash of color. We also grow and sell Kabocha Squash and have fresh eggs available for sale, as well.

Gardening classes are also available upon request. We also offer labyrinth walks, water lily classes and succulent classes.
There is a seasonal stream running through the property so from time to time there is the additional treat of a stream—(or a river!) running through the yard.
The elevation is about 1100 feet which is PERFECT on Maui! We are about 10 degrees cooler than sea level which makes for absolutely comfortable days (70-80 degrees) and GREAT temps for sleeping (usually in the 60's). This is the MAXIMUM elevation you can stay and still go scuba diving on Maui. Speaking of diving...we are avid divers and photographers.
You will definitely want a rental car....there is a bus stop a mile or two away but not ideal....and bikes are a little hazardous as these are hilly, windy, narrow roads.

Getting Married on Maui? We can officiate the ceremony for you!
If you need more space, we work with the neighbors and can guide you to their sites for larger groups....
Just let us know what you are looking for!

Our host was the BEST! The property grounds were truly special. We were even lucky enough to join a moonlight walk along the labyrinth. Great communication and we were treated like family. Would stay here again a thousand times over.

This cozy log cabin was perfect for my husband, mother, and our adult children! It was a beautiful place to wake up to every morning! The kitchen was fully stocked and the place had everything we needed! If we needed for anything, Eve, the owner, would gladly help us locate ore provide it for us! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere and been taken care of so well as we were here!

This place was just magical. A beautiful location, out in the woods. The sanctuary nearby with the greenhouse was great, and the property was fun, interesting and unique. For us, it was a home base as we did the Road to Hana, and it worked out well for that. Also very close to the airport and town. We had a problem with a car not starting, and the property manager was quick to help us solve it.

Eve and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming. The property was better than we hoped with ample space for the kids to explore. We loved our stay and would come back!
