About this property
PERMITTED Charming LOG HOUSE in REAL Upcountry Maui. Magical and Peaceful!
The Sacred Garden Retreat is a one of a kind find in Hawaii! A genuine log house in a beautiful jungle-garden-organic farm setting. 5 bdrms/3 bathrooms. Great for a romantic getaway fro two or group vacation. "Away from it all" but just 20 minutes to airport and 2 miles to shops/restaurants! Access to two adjacent properties, totalling 8.5 acres of lush tropical beauty. Diversified farm growing Fruits, flowers, vegetables, coffee, water lilies, etc.
This spectacular gated property, has the feel of a mountain retreat away from the tourist scene, but is just minutes to restaurants, shops and beautiful beaches. We provide all the amenities we think you will need to enjoy your vacation.
Whether you seek a romantic getaway for two or a great place for a family reunion, a gathering of friends or a personal growth retreat....this place is perfect.
This property is a hidden jewel in a lush garden setting—a gardener's delight, artist get away, spiritual retreat or family vacation.
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 with an additional bathroom, kitchenette and a private entrance which is included in the price). All total there are 10 beds. All located on several acres of lush tropical beauty. There are 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 flower has a studio suite with a king sized bed and a sofa 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.
The property is in close proximity to other attractions like the Piiholo Ziplines, The Temple of Peace, 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. Upon request 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.
While our cancellation policy is "No refund" we are happy to refund bookings if we are able to re-book the dates.
Gardening classes are also available upon request. We also offer labyrinth walks and water lily 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!
House Rules: Maximum number of guests is 10 (unless children are under 2 years old) Quiet Time 9pm-8am. Amplified sound that disturbs neighbors or other guests is prohibited. Parking (provided at no extra cost) must be on gated property, not on street. Parties and events are not allowed.

Hosted by EVE HOGAN

Eve and Steve met on Maui 25 years ago while Eve was on vacation...fell in love...and five months later she moved to Maui and they got married a year after they met. Steve is an avid scuba diver, underwater cinematographer and has shot for Discover, National Geographic and Travel Channel. They are owners of Makena Coast Dive Charters. Steve is from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and has been on Maui over 35 years.
Eve is an author, speaker and educator. She runs Heart Path Journeys, offering Sacred Retreats on Maui and The Sacred Garden which is a peaceful sanctuary and nursery on the adjacent property. Eve is from Orange County California and has been on Maui 25 years.
They are both hardworking, and deeply in love with the property (and each other, their dog, cats and lifestyle.)

Why they chose this property
Plain and simple, this property is sacred. You will feel it the minute you step onto the land. It is an incredibly unique property in that you can't see any neighbors (not even the other cottage on the property from the house, so you feel like you are AWAY from it all out in the middle of no where, but you are just minutes to all the modern conveniences and attractions Maui has to offer.
This is agricultural property so we are passionate about growing food and flowers. We are happy to educate you and share with you our bounty.
So many come to Maui to relax, unplug and get away.....and end up staying in Touristville, surrounded by people, activity and "more of the same" just in a beach setting. Here you will truly feel like you have ventured "away"....to heaven, to be precise.....

What makes this property unique
We lived in the heat of Kihei for many, many years and while access to the beautiful beaches was a plus, the traffic, the nearby neighbors, the noise of residential communities, was not what either of us was hoping for in a move to Hawaii. We wanted to experience the country, the lush tropical beauty, to grow our own food, to wake up grateful every single day. When we were blessed to purchase the property next door to the Sacred Garden Retreat, we were ecstatic. When the adjacent property came up....sooooo adorable, with the charming log house and the adorable 1930's Gingerbread House studio cottage that Jimi Hendrix stayed in in 1970 when he was on Maui filming "Rainbow Bridge"....we couldn't resist. This expanded our capacity to farm, to educate and to share this beautiful property with others.
A genuine log house is a rare find on Maui and offers such a unique and cozy "cabin feel" while at the same time spaciousness, that allows the whole family to get away together, or friends celebrating a birthday....or a couple on honeymoon to enjoy. The balcony, or Lanai as we say in Hawaii, is a little piece of heaven, the firepit is a favorite of many....Lush. Peaceful. Beautiful. Relaxing. REAL Maui.
