Himmel auf Erde in Upcountry Maui

When I arrived at this property, I was so stunned by it's beauty that I checked my phone 4x to make sure I had the right property! I have stayed at many rentals in the past few years and this rental was the best one ever!!!

The owners have taken such care to make this cottage special. The exterior is charming. The landscaping is beautiful. The deck is beautifully done.

The interior....where do I begin? So charming. The bed is so comfortable. The way the sun shines thru the bedroom windows make me feel like a queen. At night I can see the gorgeous skyline from my bed.

I was so excited to see that there were cows and sheep. They were such a treat for me because I'm not usually around farm animals. I felt like I was on a Hawaiian safari!

The bathroom I had beautiful fixtures. The shower is huge. The towels are nice and fluffy.

I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck alone at night gazing at the stars and hearing one of the animals quietly exhaling. This was true serenity.

I had a lovely walk on the road. It is peaceful. I saw horses on the hill and morning glories climbing stone walls.

All I can say is, the pics don't do this place justice. It is a very special, serene, breathtaking place to be. Thank you Janice for sharing this gem in Kula. Your beautiful place has made my annual Maui trip extra special. I will remember this place forever. I hope I can be here again next year!

WE come here year after year and we can't wait to come again! Thanks Janice for sharing your amazing vacation rental.... We love it!

Situated at about 2900 feet, on the slopes of Haleakala, the views of the sea and much of Maui are below you. The incredible clear air and few lights allow the night sky to put on a show most nights! Great hot tub to relax in and watch the sunset or sky from too! Wonderful, unique raised bed with amazing views. Modern and large bathroom add a sense of luxury to this really cozy, charming spot. Large deck gives you choices of sun or shade and a double hammock on the lawn. Delightful caretakers who truly care! The owner is very responsive to emails also. Our dream spot when we are home and a spot we have returned to 4-5 times so far for extended stays of 7-15 days. The magic of the ever changing weather from Haleakala makes for great walking times on Thompson Road. Friendly people walk the road and we get to feel very welcome and at home here! A gem, truly....away from the maddenung crowds below....yet only a 45 monute drive to Wailea when you feel like that too. Other beaches are closer. Highly recommend you book in advance...it has many returning alums❣️

This lovely cottage with a world-class view is the perfect escape from everyday life and from the tourist glitz. The cabin is private, cozy, quiet, and thoughtfully arranged and supplied. If you can tear yourself away from the serenity it’s well located to explore upcountry and to take the back road to Hana. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay at the Star Lookout and really enjoyed its location in Upcountry Maui. The view from the cabin is spectacular and the cabin itself features most all of the amenities you could want in a rental. Overall, it was clean, comfortable, and homey.
