Loved Pole House

We had a great stay at Pole House. Tucked away in upcountry Maui, it was in a lush forest with views from the lanai looking out to the trees and the ocean in the distance. John was a very attentive, accommodating host. He made sure we had everything we needed including fresh bananas as well as equipment such as snorkel gear. He was very easy to communicate with. Yes there are some critters around and ants if food is left out, but this is to be expected as you are out in the woods. We would definitely stay at Pole House again in the future.

You have to stay here if you go to Maui!

As others have noted, the pictures of the Pole House just don't capture how amazing it is. We stayed here with our teenage son (14), and we all just loved it. Tons of space for everyone to have their privacy, a fully stocked kitchen, super comfortable beds, and great wifi. The bifold doors and open concept make you feel like you are living in a treehouse. The wrap around porch makes for some awesome views. We had no issues with bugs, and didn't find the heat to be a problem - the breeze and extra fans made for great sleep. John is a wonderful host who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need, and his knowledge of the area and suggestions were appreciated (Baked on Maui for breakfast was a highlight!). I especially enjoyed the fresh avocados just outside our door! The Pole House is a great home base to explore Maui - right on the road to Hana and close to some spectacular beaches. We appreciated being away from the intensity of the tourism on the island that we found in other areas. If you like to travel but like to be off the beaten path a bit, this is the place for you. It's a really special place. We can't recommend it enough. Thanks John!

Banana Farm Wedding!

We booked the banana farm for our wedding reception and John and his crew went above and beyond to host us and help us have a perfect stay / celebration (we arrived from our wedding with a homemade sign he made!) The place is stunning and mystical, with a great ocean view and beautiful golden hour. A perfect place for an event and also a great place to have peace and quiet. I highly suggest booking and highly recommend the host John, he is next level!

Haiku hideaway

Custom pole house with views of ocean, stars and Haiku countryside. Closest you can get to a 5 star tree house. All the amenities you could want in a home that seems too remote to have them. Our favorite was the sliding doors on 3 sides of the house - opening them created a nearly constant tradewind breeze, along with the sounds of birds, crickets, and the occasional coqui. And the roosters as the sun rose each day, letting us know it was time for another day of adventure. Caretaker John is an extra joy - always around for adventure or cuisine choices. In fact, most of our dinners were at local eateries he had suggested. We even shared a meal and bottle of wine together - talking and listening to story after story as the sun set on this one of a kind banana plantation. We ate yummy apple bananas nearly every day, and John even made sure we had a half dozen or so on the day of departure. Don't miss this jewel of Maui. We hope to see it again.

Tropical Treehouse Paradise!

Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer than the four nights that we booked. This house is magical in every way you could imagine. It’s really a work of art and looks even better in person. We lived bug free with the doors open the entire time, just enjoying the breeze all day and night. It’s an easy drive to most of the island and a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded commercial resort areas. John, the owner, is one of the most knowledgeable, helpful and hospitable hosts that we have ever stayed with. He supplied us with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, a cooler, umbrellas, and even helped us with some cooking ingredients. If we needed anything we just texted him. If you are looking for a unique place to stay in Maui, look no further. We will be back!

Beautiful, high quality craftsman built home felt like living in a treehouse! We kept all the doors open our entire stay making it feel like outdoor living. The geckos were friendly, chicken & frog noises were typical of Hawaii. Easy access to all parts of the island.

Stunning!

We chose this place for the second half of our anniversary trip. In our travel experience, it is completely unique and absolutely worth it! Since we’re both hot sleepers, my husband and I were concerned at first that we would be too warm at night without any air-conditioning; but you open up the walls to catch the breezes, and they have fans on site, and we both slept wonderfully well. It’s an amazing place to get into the rhythm of nature: we went to sleep shortly after dark, we got up at dawn, we enjoyed the view from each one of the decks, drank our coffee and ate our meals and were just incredibly at peace. The caretaker was also so kind and helpful!

Paradise

This is the kind of place I wish no one knew about. My perfect paradise! But then, if no one knew about it, John would be out of business and I wouldn't be able to go back there. So here you go: When you sit on the patio of the Pole House you overlook the forest towards the ocean. That is pure relaxation! The house is beautifully decorated, I am sure it has been featured in one of the famous magazines. The pictures don't do it justice. There is a full kitchen with pots and pans, knives, cutting boards, and anything you need. The king bed is comfortable with a high-quality, thick memory foam mattress. The house was very clean upon our arrival. John is a wonderful host and quick to answer any questions. He even made us delicious pancakes one morning. There is beach furniture, bodyboards, and beach towels, and I am sure that if you need anything, John will have it. The windows open up completely, you get the feeling of being outside even when you are inside. There is a wonderful breeze that goes through the house all day. Before you book, make sure this is the right place for you: because you feel outside when you are inside, the outside will also come inside. There will be geckos and bugs inside. Nothing major (cockroaches or anything gross) but you'll have to clean up your crumbs before the ants find them. There is also almost no way of keeping the mosquitos out. But the mosquito net around the bed keeps you safe at night. For my husband and me this is a 15 out of 10!

This is such a wonderful property. So unique and feels so secluded. The doors that surround the space open entirely to nature. We slept every night with all the doors open and the breezes kept the space so comfortable. John, the host, is one of the most accommodating we’ve ever had. He is so readily available for anything you need and always has great restaurant recommendations and things to do in the area. I would highly recommend this beautiful and unique property. And will stay here again if I’m ever in Maui.

An absolute dream!

My family and I were blown away by the views and location of the Pole house. It was the quiet and serenity we needed from our busy lives in Los Angeles. Being able to open all the doors and smell the fresh rain, see the sunset over the trees and the ocean, was absolutely breathtaking. I also had such admiration for all the furniture and reclaimed wood pieces in every corner. Every piece felt so special and unique, and added to the experience of feeling you were in a very special space and not just a hotel room. My son loved the swing in the living room and my husband and I enjoyed our coffee in multiple spots on the balcony, there were literally no distractions- just the sound of the trees blowing and the birds chirping! The location is also perfect for activities planned in the upcountry. We went ziplining about 10 minutes away, Twin Falls also about 10 min away, and it's located at the beginning of the road to Hana. It's also close to a cute store/ restaurant Jaw's- where we stopped multiple times for a pizza! Thank you John for sharing this slice of heaven with us, we have memories that will last a life time! We will be back!!

This is a lovely property with a fantastic view. It was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen included just about everything we needed.

He also lent us an object our friends needed for their wedding a few blocks away. A great stay!
