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. 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. Fruits, flowers, vegetables, coffee plantation, Orgnanic Ginger and Turmeric Farm
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. Recently renovated, and offers all the amenities.
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, two bathrooms have a bathtub/shower, the other a shower. There is plenty of off-road parking.
This is a 3 story house. 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) 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 (or two twins if you prefer) 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 organic farm, growing organic veggies, Ginger and Turmeric, a botanical garden and coffee farm. 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, jade vine, 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 as well as tours of several of Maui's other unique farms. We also offer personalized private retreats and can arrange for massage, private yoga or Qigong, relationship-, spirituality-, creativity-, personal growth-, life coaching, intuitive readings....we are affiliated with Maui's best practitioners...
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 1000 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 can assist you booking Scuba Diving with the best dive operation on Maui. (Makena Coast Dive Charters)
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!

We can also assist you in booking your vacation activities.

A paradise
Staying at this property was a blessing. In addition to the house with all the facilities, the land with the animals, pets are part of the charm of this place. Also the kindness of Eva our host and the Sacred Garden where we had the opportunity to meditate and walk the labyrinth under her guidance was a plus. We would repeat the experience without a doubt.

Nice stay
We had a very nice stay in the log house. It was big enough for our extended family and it was nice to be in the green forest area of Maui. Eve (the owner) gave us a tour of the property and we learned a lot about the plants in the area. The kitchen was a good size and well stocked. Also the laundry room came in handy. In the evenings, it was peaceful to hear the rain and breeze through the trees. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Lush retreat
This property was perfect for our extended family of 10. We had 3 groups (two families of 4 plus a set of grandparents), and each group had their own spacious floor. The house is stocked with plenty of clean linens, lots of beach toys, chairs, and towels and has a washer and dryer in the bottom floor. The property is lush with beautiful plants and unique physical features such as a creek bed and a cliff wall that make you feel like you've found a hidden gem. The kids in our group spent all their downtime playing out in the yard and found plenty to do while the grownups relaxed on the lanai. This location is the perfect temperature allowing you to have the windows open all day and night. It is a short ~10 minute drive to conveniences such as grocery, gas, etc. On Saturdays there is a wonderful market (called the Upcountry Farmer's Market) just 10-15 minutes away. Eve is a fantastic host and is very responsive and helpful. She lives nearby and is able to assist with any of your needs or questions. While we were there, a tropical storm was headed our way and she let us know which windows to close and told us about the battery powered lanterns that were stored downstairs. This home was above and beyond any of our expectations, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone!

So good I hate to spread the word
We had 9 people including my wife, my teenage to adult kids, son’s girlfriend, and my parents. This place couldn’t have been more perfect for our group. Plenty of beds (most important), decent number of bathrooms (second most important), real nice kitchen and family room, and tons of beautiful scenery. * Fair Warning* There are a number of roosters around the property and they let you know about it every morning. But that was a small price to pay for this beautiful cabin in the Hawaiian woods. Eve was absolutely awesome and very attentive and hospitable in every way. She gave a tour of the beautiful gardens and grounds and was quick to respond to every question/concern. This has to be the best VRBO-type experience I’ve ever had. Absolutely plan to come back - I hope word doesn’t get too much.

About the host

Hosted by EVE HOGAN

Host profile image
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.
