Beautiful Views and Lots of Nature

We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in upcountry and hope to return someday. The property has amazing views, beautiful plants and trees, and so much nature to watch. We spent hours sitting at the various outside areas watching the butterflies and birds. Even saw a few pheasants and peacocks. The night sky was incredible on clear nights with so many stars. It was so idyllic and peaceful. The house was also very beautiful, clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. As other reviews noted, the owners took extra care to ensure the comfort of their guests with a nicely stocked pantry and other amenities such as books, games etc. This is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at over the many years we’ve vacationed.

Absolutely Fantastic

What a wonderful place. I strongly recommend you stay in the upcountry and at this magnificent home. It is beautifully appointed with high quality furnishings. Nothing cheap. They did it right. To sit in the screen porch playing cards and watching a wonderful sunset across the island was a pleasure. From a location standpoint we found it ideal - we could get to the coast when we wanted, and easy access to Haleakala and hiking trails everywhere. We loved the fact that the kitchen actually had plenty of condiments and supplies for us to use in cooking meals. They overstocked the pantry with all things Costco. You will not run out of anything. Sterling was a pleasure to work with and very gracious in helping make our stay perfect. This place is a gem. We will be back.

Upcountry experience

Uhane Olinda is a place we will be talking about forever. The upcountry experience is one that every visitor to Maui should not miss. Away from the beaches and glitzy hotels is a world full of nature and beautiful vistas. We loved the quaint small town atmosphere of Makawao and enjoyed all it had to offer. The shops were fun, the restaurants were great, and the people we met were lovely. Uhane Olinda was beyond expectations. The home was perfectly restored and was well appointed to accommodate our every need. We picked oranges off the tree, took our turns on the tree swing, and enjoyed the magnificent ocean and mountain views from the lanai. We are so grateful we got to experience this wonderful place, this wonderful home.

Gorgeous

The entire stay was incredible! If we had a negative it would be the mattresses. They could be updated since they seem to getting older. The mattress warmers were nice. Incredible home, grounds and view! We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Sterling Church

Sisters and owners, Donna and Sterling, grew up in this family home and visit it frequently. Both currently reside on the mainland, Donna in Fullerton, California and Sterling in Golden, Colorado. Their desire is to share, with others, the beauty and quiet of this unique location away from Maui’s tourist areas.

Why they chose this property

Restorative is the way we describe our Olinda home. It is located in a part of the island few tourists see. It is away from all tourist areas and yet every part of the island is accessible. There is a beautiful green color, coolness and often a breeze not found at the beach that makes Upcountry so enticing.
