Amazing time in Makawao! The property is beautiful, private and has an authentic Hawaii feel. The Gingerbread house was super clean and bed/linens cozy. The hosts are welcoming and have great recommendations. Loved our stay—new favorite place on Maui.

Perfect for a couple

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. House is perfect for a couple and we enjoyed the animals making their rounds throughout the property each day. Eve was an outstanding hostess and made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. If we get to Maui again, we will definitely stay in the Gingerbread House again.

Lovely stay in upcountry Maui

The Gingerbread House is a delightful cottage on a beautiful property in upcountry Maui. We had everything we needed for our stay, and our hosts, Eve and Steve, couldn’t have been more kind or welcoming. We hope to come back soon.

Relaxing Hawaiian Getaway

My wife and I stayed in the Gingerbread House for a week in June. Eve welcomed us and helped us get oriented with the area, even suggesting places to visit and restaurants to check out. She was very quick to respond to questions. The location of the Gingerbread House itself is generally located in the middle of Maui away from the resorts, where we were able to enjoy a more authentic Hawaiian experience. The grounds are beautiful, and the house had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Very comfortable.

A Hawai'i Home for Two

The "gingerbread house" is perfect for two. Just enough kitchen to cook, nice big bathroom, comfy bed and lots of handy amenities. Located at Sacred Garden, it has lovely surroundings, quiet and safe, close to lots of great Upcountry and North Shore attractions, we'd stay again. This is countryside Hawai'i, so be used to visits by chickens, ducks, geckos, pets etc. Almost everything we needed, from beach towels to coffee was ready to go. Always a good place to come home to after seeing the rest of Maui!

Best Stay Ever

The beauty of this property was only matched by Eve's hospitality. Every detail (and then some) was thought out. We felt so safe and even more comfortable. The location was perfect which allowed us to explore the whole island. The Sacred Garden added another level of tranquility and the animals (especially Kumu) truly tempered missing our animals back at home. This property is unreal and we both agreed that this was our best vacation ever. My only regret with this rental is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks again Eve & Steve, we'll be back!

a little slice of heaven

We could not have asked for a more welcoming host or delightful setting for our final days on Maui. The house was cozy, super clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for our stay. We enjoyed using the BBQ to grill locally grown veggies, and the chiminea made for a wonderful evening in this gorgeous setting. Sipping tea outside each morning while listening to the sounds of the birds soothed our souls. Many thanks to Eve for making us feel so welcome!

The property seemed very secluded and the property manager was quite responsive-providing updates and battery-operated lighting. Our visit of five nights corresponded to flash floods in Maui that actually only covered about two of the five days that we stayed. The flooding was invigorating and only a little bit scary but the unpleasant down-side was power outages that hit off and on during our last two nights. Management went above and beyond.

What a Wonderful Place to Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gingerbread House. Located in upcountry, it's the perfect place to stay to get away from the crowds and bustle close to the coast. We loved sitting outside at nights with the cool wind and quietness of the property. During the day, I enjoyed walking around the farm looking at all of the birds and fruit trees. The chickens were very happy to see us as I guess they've been fed before. I was a little unnerved at first as they got really close, but they never got aggressive and were a source of amusement. The house is exactly as it's depicted on the site. It's small and cozy and perfect for two people. The cedar walls give it a great aroma. Upon arrival, we looked through the very helpful book with the rules for our stay and recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. Coming from Atlanta, we were a little worried that with no A/C it might get warm at night; there was nothing to worry about! The nights were very cool and the ceiling fan kept the air moving. The bed was super comfortable and my wife LOVED the bathroom. And I be remiss to say that one of the highlights of the trip was meeting the owner's golden retriever, Kumu. She was so happy and friendly and made missing our dogs a little easier. We'd definitely stay here again!

Beautiful getaway!

Wonderful little cottage, in a beautiful green setting close to Makawoa and Paia, complete with lovely hosts. It was a great location to spend time, and also a great launch pad from which to explore the road to Hana and Haleakala. I would definitely recommend it :)

Secluded, Quiet, Cozy Cabin

Beautiful surroundings, we spent time walking around the grounds, including lots of time spent at the Sacred Garden. Cabin had everything we needed, and the wifi (though not essential) was nice to have and mostly reliable. Eve was great, enjoyed talking with her. Will book again for sure.
