  This was a wonderful experience! It was also our first time using Airbnb and visiting a Hawaiian Island and we would definitely do it all over again. Early in our planning we intentionally made the decision to avoid the big resorts and seek out something that felt a little more like the "real" Hawaii. Eve's rustic cabin provided just that. The cabin was clean and comfy, with a great amount of lighting and windows. One of my favorite parts of the cabin was the large window high above the kitchen that looks into the jungle across the stream. It almost looks like a framed painting every morning when you wakeup. The chirping birds in the jungle made it that much better. The property is close to Makawao and Pa'ia, both of which have great dinning and shopping and a great small town feel. We still visited the big resort towns for the beaches which weren't too far away. A baby beach protected by a reef is also just 10 min away! We found the cabin to be a great central location to see just about everything on the island.

  Tip: We bought the book "Maui Revealed" before we made this trip and used it religiously the entire time we were there. Kula Bistro is a must, Makawao fresh morning doughnuts in the white building with green trim and usually a line (it's quick I promise!) 808 Cafe has great food and is across the street from our favorite beaches. Drive to Hana takes all day if you go all the way around, but is so very worth it. Get out and see everything! Bring food!
  The Gingerbread Cottage is a perfect central location to everything on the island, but far enough from the hustle of the towns. Be sure to do the labyrinth walks on the property, it's a great way to prepare your mind to enjoy your vacation, also go sit by the river and read a bit, it's very relaxing. We will be back next year!!!

  As there are so many comments in English we decide to serve the German speaking customers with a comment in German:
  Die Lage von Eve's Gingerbread-House für die Erkundung der gesamten Insel ist optimal. Das GB-House befindet sich auf einem tropischen Grundstück mit einem Bach, dessen Plätschern einen angenehm in den Schlaf sinken lässt. Bett, Kitchenette mit Kühlschrank und Sofa bilden den Wohnraum. Das separate Bad hat eine tolle Dusche. Das gesamte Cottage ist sehr gepflegt und sehr sauber. Das Bett ist typisch "amerikanisch bequem". Der Internetzugang im Haus klappte während unseres Aufenthaltes nicht, war aber bei Eve möglich. Eve ist eine herzliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und können das GB-House empfehlen.

  Eve's Gingerbread House really is adorable and the grounds around it is so beautiful. There's even a stream running close by which you can hear from inside the house. The place looks even better than the photos. Wifi and cellular reception can be spotty, but what a great location to explore this part of Maui! Makawao and Paia is a five to fifteen minute drive away with restaurants and hiking trails close by. I highly recommend staying here. The place is charming, comfy, and cozy!

  This beautiful, clean, comfy cabin is located in a gorgeous haven called the Sacred Garden. It was everything we hoped it would be!!

  Eve and Steve were really outgoing and helpful -- and the cottage was fantastic. The place is situated in a beautiful landscape with lots to explore. Inside it's cozy, clean and the sort of place you want to tuck away inside for a few days to relax. There's a great little kitchen and big bathroom so there's no "roughing it" about this place. Highly recommend this spot as Eve and Steve have clearly thought through all of the details to make it a great place to stay in Maui.

  We loved this cozy little cottage! It was close to the airport, and only a few miles away from Paia, a happening little town. The Sacred Garden was pretty amazing. The grounds were quiet, and we loved the rain at night falling on our rooftop. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place. Thanks Eve for letting us stay. Hoping to come back and visit again one day. Mahalo!

  Eve's place is sweet, cozy and a complemented our Maui experience. Nestled next to a stream with trees laden with oranges, lemons and bananas, the Gingerbread House delivered all the comforts and ease of home, while providing great views of the tropical trees towering above us. Morning chickens would cluck near our door and the friendliest dog in the world, Bodhi, always gave us a nuzzle. The house is on property shared with Eve's plant nursery -a beautiful setting that completes the picture.

  Eve's enchanted jungle cottage was amazing! It was just what we needed! The seasonal creek behind the house was flowing, the tangerines were juicy and ripe, and the succulent garden was spectacular! Eve has really created a special place with her creativity and green thumb! The labyrinths arranged on the property were fantastic for clearing the mind so we even bought a book Eve wrote about labyrinths. Thanks for the beautiful accommodations! Bodhi the dog is super chilled out and cool to have around too. Very private but not overly isolated. Perfect place!

  We stayed at this beautiful log cabin. Eve was a really great host. When we first arrived she took the time to walk us through the entire cabin and show us the ins and outs.
  The house is located on a plush piece of land. It had internet and it was just a great place to relax. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation.

  Our group of 10 senior citizens (80's and 90's) absolutely loved this place. Everyone had a place for themselves and their possessions with plenty of community room as well. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook for a large group. We lacked for nothing. Washer and dryer in the basement allowed those who wanted to do a load the opportunity..

  The picture underrates the house. It is much more spacious than it seems and more elegant. The furnishings are very comfortable. The downside for some was a lack of television but the serenity of the grounds more than made up for it What a beautiful place.

  I definitely recommend this for those who would like to truly get away and be at peace. We toured the island almost everyday and found the location relatively central to seeing everything and the pleasure to come back to.

  Eve was great. Always available. The cabin easily slept 10 of us. Although it was in the mountains we too far from anything on the island. It was quiet and peaceful and comfortable.

  Spent a week on Maui with a large group of family and friends to celebrate my son's 40th birthday. We loved staying at the Log House.

  It's bigger and more luxurious than the photo shows, but the best part about staying there was Eve and her husband Steve. Easygoing, charming and fascinating people, and perfect hosts, they were available when we needed but kept out of the way.

  We'd go back in a heartbeat.

  Two of the three bathrooms are accessible only by going through someone's bedroom. But come on, how could you complain when there are three bathrooms plus a full laundry room?

  The only other downside is getting used to the feral roosters. They don't seem to wait even for daylight to crow.

  What a wonderful place to stay! You couldn't ask for a more pleasant place to stay. If we ever return to the island we know just where we'll be staying!!!!

  Great place. Loads of space, beautiful surroundings and wonderfully furnished. Hosts were super friendly and helpful and they had unexpectedly provided toiletries, coffee etc - nice touch. The grounds were magnificent and being able to pick fresh fruit from the trees was great, and of course the fruit was delicious. A great place to stay and get away.

  We were so fortunate to stumble across this log cabin, the Sacred Garden, and Eve and Steve. We stayed for two weeks mid-January, and also chose to be married by Eve in the garden's labyrinth, with a group of friends/family who also shared the cabin. It could not have been more perfect for us.
  First, we loved the cabin. As Eve notes, it is MUCH larger than it looks in the picture. We had 10 people in it for about a week of our stay, and it felt totally spacious - very large bedrooms (especially the loft, which we called the "treeh-ouse", and the wonderful studio), and good community space inside and out. The "fire circle" area was a great evening bbq hangout and could have easily accommodated more people than we had. The cabin is newly remodeled (v interesting story - ask the hosts) and clean and well appointed - especially the kitchen. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed. Handy for a large group: there are two refrigerators - one in studio. Washer/dryer/laundry room made laundry easy.
  The location is beautiful - think jungle garden - and peaceful. We loved the morning chorus of doves and roosters and evening crickets and stars. Although there are several other rentals (smaller) on the property, you have lots of privacy because of the size of the property and dense trees/garden. We picked fruit (lemons, tangerines, avocados this time of year) and enjoyed wandering in the lovingly restored greenhouse at the next door Sacred Garden. We were lucky enough to be here for one of Eve's full moon labyrinth walks - highly recommended.
  The atmosphere at the property is very laid back and friendly (and seems secure - there is a locked gate). Eve and Steve are warm, attentive hosts who give you your privacy. Eve was a brief text away when we needed anything (not often). She gave us a property tour and happily arranged massages at the cabin for us. For us, big-dog ambassador Bodhi was a bonus (he even attended our wedding which cracked everyone up) - he's a teddy-bear personality and comically big, and everyone loved him. If you don't love dogs - don't worry - you'll probably rarely see him, and he's very quiet and non-threatening.
  Finally, if you are thinking of a Maui wedding, Eve does a fantastic job -warm, gracious, and clearly with tons of experience - she'll set you at ease and add to the occasion.
  One word of warning: you are in jungle here, and mosquitoes can be a nuisance at times. They didn't bother me much but if you spend much time outside (and you will want to) you'll need repellent - several of our group got bitten. The house is well-screened so they are not a problem inside.
  Restaurants/small towns are handy - try Colleen's in Haiku! We also snorkeled a lot near Makena/Wailea, and explored Haleakala - all easy drives from the property, which is pretty centrally located.

  The House has very nice character. It is rustic but provides the comfort you need. It is very nicely located in a jungle cove. We all slept really well there.
  During our stay there where quite a few challenges with internet and leaking roofs but both Eve and Steve where very friendly and took all our complaints seriously. Eve told me the house soon will get a dedicated internet line so that takes care of that problem. The leaking roof was fixed.
  Would highly recommend the place to a friend.
  The only concern is that Eve plans to raise the cost per night with 50% or more and I don't know if that is good value compared to other available places.
  So overall my rating is 5 stars for the house and the hosts Eve and Steve!

  Response from Eve:

  Thanks Hans, glad you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your understanding as we worked out the kinks in the internet and fixed the sudden leak in the roof.
  Regarding the price increase Hans is referring to.....Because this was a relatively new listing for us when he reserved his stay, we gave him and his family a huge discount over the normal rate because they had an extended stay. However, because it was over the Christmas Holidays and New Years—the busiest time of year—and because we had to pay 13% or Transient Accommodation Taxes and a huge electric bill, and high demand for the same time of year, we could not extend the same discount during the holidays for next year, We are not raising our prices year round, only as everyone else does, during this holiday period of high demand. If Hans and his family want to return at a slower time of year, we will certainly do our best to work within their budget. Blessings for a prosperous and healthy, happy new year!

  Our stay at the charming log cabin was excellent! There was a total of five adults and three kids. We had enough room for all of us and even some to spare! The host made sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we (website hidden) was fun! We had everything we needed to create meals there! Getting back from a long day of exploring felt like coming home! I think what I like most about this place is that is was centralized and we were amongst the locals. We also got a feeling of living in a forest! The last night we were there, it rained and it was super calming for us all. Relaxation before departure! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
