Scandinavian Chalet, Ocean View, Tropical, Entire Home, King, Jacuzzi, Permited

Fully permitted: Permit Nos: STPH 2013/0011 & SUP2 2012/0014 HI State GET & TAT ID#: GE-011-517-1328-01 & TA-011-517-1328-01

If you want to experience a tropical paradise, a freeform botanical garden that is exclusivly yours, no other guests. The owners are on a separate 1.2 acres, on the same road. You will be staying in a custom log home, natural breathing wood, brought from Finland. Poisons are never used, no chemicals for the past 17 years that we have been here. If you love nature, please come. If being near this kind of plant diversity, with its wonderful, inspiring vistas is an important feature for this trip, please come.

Custom Log Home on 2.6 acres, it feels like the Hawaii many people long for. You are surrounded with hundreds of species of botanicals, tropical flowers, fruit trees, song birds, yet you are only a short 25 minute drive to Paia, 15 min. to Haiku.

Wake up to the beautiful sound of melodious thrush and have your coffee/tea on the balcony with the garden view and a slice of the Pacific only a few thousand feet away. Experience your own totally private paradise.

Hot tub is maintained with clean rainwater and an ozoneator. An experience very different from chlorinated tubs. Such a pleasure relaxing, while watching the milky way, shooting stars ( in season) or the different phases of the moon.

25 min from Paia, which has the best food store in the State, Mana Foods, many restaurants, galleries and stores and 20 min. from Makawao with it’s many galleries, restaurants and stores.

VRBO/HomeAway Reviews are only available when they process the payments. We only just started the option of them collecting the money, so we have few reviews here.

This is a great place to "get away from it all". Very peaceful and secluded. It is a little piece of jungle paradise. The hosts, Jette and Steve, are very nice people and very accomodating. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Beautiful Haiku getaway
My parents came to visit us for a couple of weeks here in Haiku and needed a spacious place to stay. We were lucky enough to find Steve and Jette’s beautiful cabin tucked away in the Haiku forest. To say the cabin and property is beautiful and peaceful is an understatement. Steve and Jette were also amazing hosts and it was easy to communicate with them whenever we needed. If you are looking to find peace and tranquility then I suggest spending your time here, we will definitely be coming back.

Just what we needed!
This was the perfect house to kick off our first-ever trip to Hawaii! The home is spacious and SO unique. We loved spending every morning sipping coffee or tea on the front porch, overlooking the beautiful tropical grounds maintained by the hosts. Speaking of which, the hosts have to be some of the friendliest people on the island! We loved our stay here!

The place is wonderfull just like in the pictures. From the entrance to the place, its all about the nature and surroundings. We wanted a week away from the city and we got what we wanted. Steve and Jette were amazing host, always there for what we need or would need. They are really caring from beginning to end. Thank you Steve and Jette for that wonderfull week.

Paradise found!!! The cool ocean breezes, the stars at night from the jacuzzi, the fruit trees all around, and the sweet smells of flowers all around.. what more can you ask for. This is a place to truly relax and decompress. Plus you are close to Hana and all the other sites you might want to visit. We didn't want to leave!!

We stayed in Kihei our first couple of days on the island then switched over to Maui Chalet the last 4 days. It was incredible and a nice change from the city. Very secluded and the hosts - Steve and Jette were extremely accommodating. We had everything we needed and more. Cell phone use was very limited to certain areas of the house but that was also a good thing. More time to relax.

Somewhere over the "Rainbow"
First of all Steve and Jetta are wonderful Hosts. When you arrive at the property you drive thru a wonderful tunnel of flowers and greenery. It is just beautiful. Steve and Jetta are there to meet you and answer any questions that you have. The property is has lush greenery and flowers, you wake up to the sounds of birds, it is very magical. The home is very roomy and has everything you need. There are fresh cut flowers thru out the home. I have already recommended the Maui Chateu to friends, and hopefully will be staying there again in the future. Thanks Steve and Jetta

Quiet and Beautiful
We stayed in Maui chalet for 6 nights. The place was well presented and we found everything we needed. Steve was helpful yet respected our privacy. It is not in the most convenient location - about 15-20 minutes drive from the nearest town, Paia, where you can find a grocery store and a few restaurants, but you will enjoy the beautiful peaceful and close-to-nature secluded setting if that’s what you are looking for in your vacation. The only gripe we have is there’s no bathroom upstairs where the master bedroom is.

Paradise found
We stayed for a fantastic month at this secluded Scandinavian Chalet. Home now after almost two months, we're still raving on how wonderful our Maui stay was. And we are definitely recommending it to all our friends. This is truely an alternative to the typical tourist stay on the other side of Maui. You may have to drive a bit more to get to some of the turist locations, but the serenity of the the chalet surroundings is worth the trouble. We loved being able to just relax and enjoy the Maui atmosphere. The rustic house is lovely and well equipped, the garden is beautiful and jacouzzi was great. We are so happy that Jette & Steve shared thier piece of paradise with us...wish we could have stayed longer.

It was perfect for us…
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation…Maui Chalet was a huge factor! Remote but accessible and not far from the main road. We arrived with no planned itinerary but a few thoughts on what we might like to see. It was difficult to leave the lanai each day to journey out for the day’s adventure. Who wants to leave that breeze and tranquility? The home is well appointed. Kitchen was a good size. We did suggest a sealed bread box to store chips and such. The shower was great! And, the hot tub relaxing and enjoyable. We hope that someday the other jets will be replaced but it was still wonderful. I haven’t slept as well in years as I did last week. The beds were comfortable, the large screened windows were open with that wonderful breeze and the night sounds of the “jungle” were just what was needed. Our hosts were very quick to respond to our questions with great suggestions. We enjoyed meeting Jette and chatting for a bit. Her husband made and gifted us a beautiful hologram when we left. It’s very special! We can’t say enough about how much the chalet enhanced and made our trip so special for three friends just needing to get away and disconnect (the wi-fi worked great…we did watch a couple of basketball games-lol!). We hope to return soon for another visit!

Excellent Jungle Getaway!
Our whole family loved our stay at the Maui Chalet. The grounds are beautiful, with numerous flowering trees and plants, several delicious fruit plants (starfruit and brazilian cherry were in season for us!), and a peekaboo view of the ocean. The house itself is open, airy, and very well appointed. The walk in tiled shower, outside hot tub, and huge loft were particular standouts. Hosts Jette and Steve were gracious and helpful, but never intrusive. We cannot recommend this place enough. If you want some privacy in your own little jungle, a head start on the road to Hana, or just something that is not another cookie cutter condo this is the place for you!

Wonderful Getaway Spot
Such a wonderful chalet! The hosts Steve and Jetta were incredible and so friendly, they even offered to bring tea and starfruit for my son-in-law who was feeling a little under the weather one day. The home had everything we needed to cook amazing meals and it really felt like a tropical home in paradise. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a day at the beach, shopping, and whale watching. The property was very private and quiet, perfect place to recharge and re-center. I would 1000% recommend this for a quiet, off the beaten path, place to spend a vacation!

Great hosts, great place!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Maui Chalet. The accommodations were excellent, and gave us a comfortable place where we could see the sights on the island. Plus, time in the hot tub in a rainforest shouldn't be missed! Also, Steve and Jette were great and giving hosts. If we needed anything at all, they were right there. We felt so welcomed by them, which just made our stay that much more enjoyable. If you're staying in Maui, you can't beat staying at the Chalet. A beautiful house, great hosts, and surrounded by authentic Hawaii. Make your Hawaii experience that much more memorable by staying here.

Hidden gem in tropical forest
I've stayed at this beautiful home for over a month and had a lovely time. You'll feel at home the moment you arrive when Steve and Jette welcome you personally and give you a tour of the house explaining everything you might need to know. Jette personally cleans the place in a very professional way. You can feel that a lot of love has been put into this home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking while in the basement there's lots of beach gear we found very useful. Washer and dryer are also located there. I've stayed at many rental places over the years but the way I've been welcomed here has never happened before. Throughout our stay Steve and Jette checked in regularly if we needed anything which was very nice. If you want to spend some time living like a local this place is for you! It's very private and secluded. There's also a hot tub which is a lovely way to spend a night stargazing. What I loved most, was the yard, which Steve takes care of personally. You'll find yourself in your own private botanical garden. Thank you Steve and Jette for a wonderful vacation and I'll be in touch with you if I'm vacationing on Maui again! Take care and Mahalo for everything! You're wonderful people!

Maui Chalet
We arrived late after flying in on our first night. Steve and Jetta were there to greet us and help us find the property. We were so glad they were close by to help us with everything we needed. They are the one of the kindest and coolest couples we have ever met. We loved our stay in the tropics for our honey moon and will definitely be back. Everything about the property is as described so no surprises. You are in the tropics so there will be some bugs and geckos in and around the property but they do not bother you. That is described in the listing. If you are looking for a less touristy feel stay here, you will not regret it! Waking up to the sounds of the birds and rustling palm tree leaves is an unforgettable experience.

Paradise!
We had an exceptional stay at the Maui Chalet. This property offered us everything and more. Our kids (3&5) loved exploring the property for lizards and birds. Jacuzzi mornings (in the sprinkling rain was my favorite) and star gazing at night made the perfect bookends to our days. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable and had great night’s sleep. Kitchen was nicely stocked and the house was immaculately clean. We liked staying on the north shore, good central location to Road to Hana, Haleakala, Mamas fish house & Paia, and Hoopikah beach where you can watch sea turtles rest on the sand. Only about an hour drive from Kaanapali & Lahaina. The hosts are lovely and so helpful throughout our stay. There when you need them, not when you don’t. Thank you for everything Steve and Jette! We made memories of a lifetime.

Enchanting Experience
My whole family agreed this house was fabulous and we all want to come back! It is even more beautiful than the photos show. It is extremely clean. The kitchen is stocked nicely with everything we needed. The house is gorgeous and relaxing. Walking the grounds with Jette was one of the best experiences my wife had as she taught her all the rare treasures she is growing on the property. The proximity to Paia and the road to Hana were perfect for us. It’s on the fun side of Maui. Beautiful weather for 9 out of the 10 days we were there. We hope to be back soon!

Fantastic home.
Steve and Jette were wonderful hosts! We spent a week in what my sons referred to as the "jungle house" and enjoyed it immensely. The house was quiet, clean and comfortable. We used it as a jumping off point for day trips. It's a few minutes away from Twin Falls, and if you're heading to Hana you'll have a head start over everyone else. We also, however, just enjoyed cooking on the grill and relaxing in the evenings. We'd book again.

This place totally made our vacation!
I am a high school science teacher and have been to Maui numerous times (we got married on Maui many moons ago). Usually, we would book a condo or some other resort location that had a kitchen (we like the option to cook our own meals if we don't feel like eating out). This time, I wanted the family to enjoy the island without so many people around; kind of like a trip back in time when it wasn't such a popular tourist destination. This place was exactly what I was looking for. A lot of privacy with no one around to run into. The property was huge, full of lush vegetation (including pineapples and coconuts). The owners were fantastic. Jette brought us some fresh tropical mangos, a variety we had never tasted before. Steve opened up his home to me and my daughter (they are on the adjacent lot) to teach us how to make holograms. I mean, how cool is that?! My youngest daughter absolutely loved the experience and made her own hologram. She also couldn't stop talking about how great the location was and how glad she was that we booked this place. The only downside was the mosquitos. My older daughter had gotten bitten numerous times; however, no one else in the house had gotten bitten (both girls were staying in the same room). We're assuming it was because she's one of those people whose biochemistry really attracts mosquitos. Even on hikes (not on the property) with mosquito repellant on, she was bitten. We were able to alleviate some of the problem by going to Walmart and buying a $30 bug zapper that we plugged in upstairs. It decreased the frequency of bites the next several nights, but she was still a target. We finally moved her to the downstairs bedroom on the last couple of nights, and that eliminated the issue. This isn't the fault of the owners, of course. This location is almost like a rainforest (which we loved), which meant mosquitos were part of the territory. Steve stocked the bathroom with insect repellant for us to use. He put screens up everywhere, even under the baseboards. They even corresponded with us multiple times before we finalized the booking to make sure we were aware of wildlife in the area and were okay with it. All in all, if you are looking for an experience that is closer to nature, this is the place. One final tip: Make sure to rent a vehicle that is AWD. We we offered an upgrade from the economy model I first selected, and that made it much easier to get to the property.

A special place in a magical rain forest
We really enjoyed our stay in Scandinavian chalet. Steve and Jette are fantastic hosts. The house is located in a magical rain forest. There are pineapples, Brazilian cherries and many other fruits and flowers growing in the garden. The singing of birds in the morning, the sound of rain, and smell of the flowers made it unique experience. The house itself is very well maintained and cozy. A really special place.

An Absolute Delight
The property description was dead on and we were even more surprised with it's serene beauty after we arrived. Steve and Jette were excellent hosts; answering any questions we had and also allowing us our privacy. The peaceful location allowed for excellent conversation, beautiful home cooked meals and day trips to incredible Maui beaches. Don't miss out on exploring the up country portions of East Maui; small towns with relaxed, "local" feel. A beauty I haven't found on other Hawaii islands. Other musts: day ferry to/from Lanai with the added bonus of active whales this time of year and the sunrise/sunset drive to Mt. Haleakula. The National Park has wonderfully maintained roads; didn't prevent me from white knuckle driving but it was worth it!

The location was very secluded and gave an authentic Hawaiian experience, allowing us to live like the locals. The land was beautiful and well maintained. The owners were helpful and responsive. However, be prepared to be in the tropical rainforest without the most updated amenities. It was a unique experience being there. Overall it was okay.
