Photos and Description of the Makawao vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 1-2)

The Aloha Cottage is a charming and romantic Balinese-inspired guest house with magnificent teak wood carvings throughout. Perched atop the highest spot on the property with a backdrop of giant Eucalyptus trees, it is designed to offer our guests spacious living with vaulted ceilings, indoor/outdoor living spaces and an open floor plan. Enjoy a hot soak in the spa tub made for two on your private lanai, lay back on a chaise lounge and take an afternoon nap, or simply listen to the birds singing while enjoying the gentle, cool breezes that make Upcountry Maui life so pleasant. Stargaze through the skylight from the comfort of your king size bed. Enjoy solitude and serenity in your romantic island hideaway!

Attention to detail is everywhere you look--no expense was spared in making this a truly special guest accommodation. Our promise is total privacy for our guests and a true luxury cottage experience. The exotic design and unique placement of our cottage creates the most amazing vacation experience with ample distance from the main house.

As unique inside as on the outside, the Aloha Cottage boasts a pyramid-shaped skylight at the apex of the eight-sided, vaulted ceiling. One can actually lay-back on the bed at night and gaze at the stars through this unique, architectural feature. Beautiful imported carvings, that were specifically designed and crafted for it by artisans in Bali, can be seen throughout. A combination of recessed lighting and wall sconces with dimmer controls provide great ambience within the well-planned space.

The spacious octagonal living area is enhanced by its 14 foot tall open-beam ceilings. The floors are acid washed terra-cotta with built-in radiant heat for added comfort. The design of the main room with its 'living in the round' is so unique! One section offers an Asian-style sit-on-the-floor dining space with custom-built table for two, while another is dedicated to a cozy lounge area. There is a large wall-mounted flat screen TV and a stereo in the built-in wall cabinet. And finally, at the enter of this amazing space, there is a king-size custom-crafted platform bed.

The kitchen is well-equipped for your cooking and dining pleasure. It features gorgeous granite counter tops, a full-size refrigerator/freezer and a full-size, four-burner gas stove and oven. A large 3-panel bay window overlooks the bamboo garden. This kitchen is wonderfully completed by a compliment of solid wood cabinets and hand-carved Teak wood drawer fronts.

Aloha Cottage has earned excellent accolades from Conde Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, LA Times, NY Times, Maui Revealed, National Geographic Travel Guide, Fodors, Frommers, Organic Living, Best Places to Stay, and many more!

About The Owner

The owners of the Aloha Cottage came to Maui from the San Francisco Bay area. Drawn by the clean air and endless natural beauty of the island, it is our pleasure to share this discovery with you.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 1999
Why The Owner chose Makawao

We chose Upcountry Maui because it green, lush and beautiful, unlike the Kihei or Lahaina side of the island that can feel like a 'dry desert'. It has the most amazing air, filled with hints of Eucalyptus and fresh tropical scents. There is a gentle mist some mornings that keeps everything vibrant and alive. One awakes to a soft symphony of tropical birds, the scent of fresh mountain air and the aroma of multitudes of flowers in bloom.

What makes this cottage unique

As a guest of Aloha Cottage you experience the most romantic settings, total privacy and a true luxury cottage experience. You truly feel that your cottage belongs to you! No interaction is required with the owners unless you desire it or need it! The greatest compliment that resounds from our guests is that, 'hospitality abounds and yet it is accomplished invisibly and seamlessly'!

Perfect romantic getaway. Everything we needed.

5 of 5
Submitted: March 23, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We stayed at Aloha Cottage for our 10th anniversary and WOW! I cannot say enough about how perfect this place is! We had been to Maui before and stayed at a hotel on the beach. We wanted to try something different this time and It was such a different experience to have the privacy, peace and respite of a cottage that is away from the crowds. We chose this cottage because of the soaking tub and the cool architecture, but once we got there it had everything we needed. Full kitchen, barbecue, and a huge king size bed that was more comfortable than our bed at home. There is also a double shower and the bathroom has a dual vanity. There are lounge chairs on the lanai and also a little breakfast table--so nice to be outdoors with nothing but the sounds of birds in the mornings. We loved Aloha Cottage and definitely won't wait another 10 years to come back!

Ideal honeymoon getaway in Maui

5 of 5
Submitted: March 8, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Nestled in the mountains of Maui this ideal getaway offers luxury as well as seclusion. Within driving distance from beautiful Maui beaches, it is also minutes away from a forest walk or the local village (Makawao). All home comforts away from home and a beautiful view.

A week in paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: March 1, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
This was my first visit to Maui and I couldn't have been more pleased with my choice to stay at Aloha Cottage. The property is secluded, quiet & gorgeous.

The cottage is upscale, clean & beautiful. The kitchen is fully stocked which is very important to me. The outdoor tub on the lanai is heaven - nothing like soaking in a hot tub every evening in paradise. I was lucky enough to have a full moon for company!

The owners were available to answer any questions I had, to offer suggestions only a local would know and yet they were very respectful of my privacy.

The location upcountry is perfectly situated for peace, quiet & fresh air. It was easy to make daytrips to other locations on the island. Also close to the best natural food store on the island, Mana Foods in Paia

Wonderful seclusion

5 of 5

Located up a mountain, this is a very special place to stay on Maui. Your own private home away from home with everything you might need. Be aware of the micro-climate here and bring warm clothes. Wonderful to look up at night (while still in bed) and see the stars. Great for honeymooners.
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We are very glad to hear you enjoyed yourself! It can get a little chilly at night here in the winter time, but most "mainlanders" wouldn't even start to call it cold... The radiant floor heat and soaking tub are much appreciated by our winter guests. The cottage is a sweet home to come back to after February whale watching--we are glad you chose to stay with us!

Perfection

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
This was my first trip to Maui and I stayed in the Thai Tree House. It was my utter good fortune. It really is the perfect place to rest and recuperate. As I drove through the bamboo on the approach to the house I knew that my stay would be a special. I grinned as I explored the gorgeous place where I would be staying for the coming week. Immaculately clean, spacious, light, although surrounded by trees, airy and with supremely tasteful decor and furnishing. The deck is gorgeous, looking out through the trees down the valley and with a sizeable hot tub.

The property is so peaceful and secluded. I did not see a soul unless I wanted to. The owners value the privacy of their guests very highly, but, if asked, make themselves available to offer invaluable advice known only to locals. I availed myself of their knowledge and had many wonderful and very special experiences that I would probably have missed had I followed the guidebook. Maui has so much to offer and Aloha Cottage and the Thai Tree House are ideally situated for exploring every corner of the island and without ever needing to encounter a "resort"... and why would you want to if you come to Maui? I felt completely at home whether returning to crash after a day packed with hiking, swimming or flying (yes, check out flying lessons in Hana) or choosing to stay at the cottage and have a quiet day reading and pottering around the super cute town of Makawao. Being on the slopes of Haleakala makes it an ideal base for heading up to watch the sun rise or set from the crater's edge...but bring warm clothes for the sunrise! You can also get a head start on most of the rest of the island on the "must-do" drive to Hana (Tip: before you do the drive, get the owners to tell you how to get to the bamboo forest.)

I really loved my time on Maui. It was a much needed vacation and Maui proved to be paradise. The focal point for that experience of paradise was staying in this truly wonderful property. I cannot recommend it too highly... I just hope it doesn't get so busy that I can't get a booking! I plan to return to Maui soon, and often. There is nowhere else that I would consider staying in the future. Just perfect. Thank you.
