Great rustic house with an amazing view and all the amenities. It's an open-air design that really allows you to feel like you're outdoors from anywhere in the house. It also means that "nature" is free to join in once in awhile, which was fine by us. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future. Thanks John!

Pole House Paradise

My husband and I chose this property for a three night stay before going to the beach. We enjoy exploring various parts of Maui and having unique experiences. This property is definitely unique! John the host is a delight and the house has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The views are wonderful! We would be happy to stay here again.

Such a unique property with a great central location to see so many great parts of the island. Would come back if we find ourselves back in Maui!

Tropical Treehouse Paradise!

Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer than the four nights that we booked. This house is magical in every way you could imagine. It’s really a work of art and looks even better in person. We lived bug free with the doors open the entire time, just enjoying the breeze all day and night. It’s an easy drive to most of the island and a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded commercial resort areas. John, the owner, is one of the most knowledgeable, helpful and hospitable hosts that we have ever stayed with. He supplied us with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, a cooler, umbrellas, and even helped us with some cooking ingredients. If we needed anything we just texted him. If you are looking for a unique place to stay in Maui, look no further. We will be back!

Nice Secluded Cabin

This is a slightly rustic cabin setting with fantastic treetop views. The secluded location is tranquil and private. John is an excellent host. He provided good advance directions and showed us around at check-in. He was very helpful and flexible. We enjoyed visiting with him. We would definitely be happy to stay here again.

Very unique accommodation

Never stayed in a place like this......we had three walls of sliding doors open the entire visit.....fresh air and tropical surroundings with ocean view. John was a gracious host and very attentive to any needs we had. Sat on the deck in the evening watching shooting stars and rainbows in the afternoons. Very special place. Comfortable bed and stocked with anything one could need.

Very unique house in up country !

My husband and I stayed in the pole house while visiting Maui. It is at the base of the road to Hana and near Haleakalā, both things we wanted to do while there. It is close to Pa’ia town for shopping and close to Mama’s fish house as well as other restaurants. The turtle beach Ho’okipa is also not far. If you surf, you will be close to some of the best surf spots on the island. The house is an open air house although you can close everything and use fans which is enough on this side of the island. Bugs were not an issue but we did sleep with the net around our bed just incase but honestly probably didn’t need it. There are geckos but they are afraid of you so you may see one on a window or one of the poles but they scurry off. We left fruit on the table and it was not an issue. There was just something about having those doors open with the breeze blowing in, I will miss it. John is such a hospitable owner and even cooked us dinner. There is a full kitchen, washer and dryer beneath the house, and an outdoor shower. The porch is a wrap around porch. There is also a grill although we did not use it. We are sad to leave.

Great place to stay in Upcountry

While "Upcountry" may not be for everyone, we loved it. John was great in answering any questions before we arrived and when we were onsite. We saw no ants. Just follow the instructions, and do not keep food out; we kept all food in the refrigerator. If you want to enjoy Maui away from the crowds - this is the place to go. Hoopika beach is a great spot to view sea turtles and surfers! We enjoyed Paia and Makawao, both offered good food options and shops to browse.

Loved Pole House

We had a great stay at Pole House. Tucked away in upcountry Maui, it was in a lush forest with views from the lanai looking out to the trees and the ocean in the distance. John was a very attentive, accommodating host. He made sure we had everything we needed including fresh bananas as well as equipment such as snorkel gear. He was very easy to communicate with. Yes there are some critters around and ants if food is left out, but this is to be expected as you are out in the woods. We would definitely stay at Pole House again in the future.

Relaxing Pole House

My husband and I really enjoyed the pole house. The views are beautiful. It was relaxing to leave the doors open for the fresh breeze and the listen to the rain while we slept. Setting on the deck at night was great for looking at the stars. If you want to stay in and watch TV or play on the internet you wont be disappointed. John was always available to help us with anything we would need. He has everything you would need to enjoy a day at the beach from towels to bogie boards. He even has coats for staying warm at the crater. We kept our food in the refrigerator or sealed in plastic bags. We also made sure to wipe off the counters each time we had food out. We did not have a problem with bugs. One thing to keep in mind is this house does not have air conditioning. Therefore, the floor to ceiling doors are kept open to let the breeze flow through. This does let a few bugs in because they are attracted to the night lights. We did not feel this was a problem. You need to realize you are in an open house with nature all around. Relax and enjoy the change in pace.

Incredible, Unique tree house stay

This was my all time best experience with a VRBO. The Pole House is the most unique place you can find and made our trip to Maui truly special. My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights on the first leg of our honeymoon and this house made the trip for us. The pictures don’t really do the house justice — you are essentially entirely outside in this house, yet completely protected from the elements. This does mean you will encounter some critters and may want to sleep with the provided mosquito net — I imagine this may not be for everyone but we loved it. It was akin to the most glamorous glamping you could imagine. The other thing to note about this property is its location in North Maui. It is essentially bordering a rainforest, so it may rain often during your stay. You are also pretty far from the main resort areas on the island, and will need to drive about 20 minutes to get most places — when staying at the Pole House you want to minimize your driving time. I would strongly recommend staying here for Road to Hana and Haleakala excursions, and use your remaining time to explore Upcountry, Makawao, and Paia. John was one of the most involved and respectful hosts I’ve encountered and made sure we were comfortable with everything during our stay. I will be recommending the Pole House for years to come.

BOOK IT!!!

My wife and I absolutely loved this place. Impressive, well built construction, and incredibly unique. It’s more than just a place to sleep, the pole house is an experience you don’t want to miss. We kept all the walls open the whole time we were there to enjoy the open air. It is quiet, peaceful, and tucked back in a very safe neighborhood. Plenty of privacy from all angles on the balcony no other homes can see you and you can’t see them. There is a perfect balance of being in nature and very nice amenities, nice large bathroom, big stainless steel fridge that looks brand new and squeaky clean on the inside, and a fully equipped kitchen with anything you need. Super clean and comfortable. If you are worried about cleanliness with it being an outdoors open air house, don’t be. Everything was impeccably clean when we arrived. If you see reviews about bugs or ants, it’s people that will find a way to complain about anything/everything. We had several geckos on the walls and ceiling but never any ants. There was a nice steady breeze the 3 days we were there and not one mosquito bite with all doors open all day and night. The host, John, could not be more welcoming, friendly and accommodating. He will help you with literally anything he can. We can not recommend this place enough. Book it! You won’t regret it!

Fantastic peaceful location with ocean view

My wife and I loved our stay at the Pole House. I will start with the view. You are elevated and there is nothing but green between you and the ocean. Sunsets are fabulous. The wrap around deck is so serene. It is utterly quiet other than the rooster and other birds. The house is an open air design. We chose to open it up during the day and close it up at night and had no issues with bugs. The kitchen, bathroom, shower, etc. are all really good. The online photos are accurate. The owner John has lots of extras he can loan you for activities. We borrowed yoga mats and weights to use in the morning. Also thermoses for hiking. He had a lot of beach and recreational items. If you need something just text him and it shows up. Next is location. It is about 30 minutes from the airport. This is the green lush side of the island. The occasional afternoon rain shower was gorgeous. You are just a few minutes from the Hana Highway. It took us an hour and fifteen to make it to the the Haleakala summit for sunrise and a once in a lifetime experience. The town of Haiku is about 10 minutes away for restaurants and groceries. Paia and the beaches are not much farther. It is a perfect base to explore from. In summary this is a fun stay for adventuresome couples looking for something out of the ordinary.

Radical Ant Infestation— 1000s, everywhere

This home is beautiful, location gorgeous. But by night 1 hundreds of ants swarmed my toiletries, beside the sink. Focusing on the good, I moved them all to a high wall shelf. Day 2 there was a swarm in the light fixture above the cooktop— the helper cleaned it out, & the flowers left for us had to go outside bc 100s of tiny ants covered the dining (the only) table. Day 3: with nothing else organic left out, bananas above the frig were totally covered, they were washed off & put in toaster oven which, yes, became filled with ants. A container of hair conditioner left on a side table brought ants through our clothes. The host had peppermint spray brought to us & asked us not to get/use anything inorganic. There was no other help offered. We sprayed everything, & for days had left NOTHING out. We realized we’d stopped eating meals in because the ants would cover our plates before we could eat a meal. Day 4: my daughter put in her plastic retainer & — yes indeed— ants had gotten inside the sealed plastic case & were in her mouth. When she was vomiting & crying I resolved to leave the next day, 3 nights early. We moved to a very simple but clean high rise condo. The host has refused to refund me for the (3) nights we left & even became verbally abusive when I relayed this story (“You’re the one with ants coming out of your mouth! “). Despite how grotesque it was, my kid was willing to go around & take photos of the piles, & armies of ants which, honestly, was completely too disgusting & upsetting for me to manage. Now we are waiting to see if VRBO will step up & refund our 3 nights. I’d still have decided to leave bc it had become a horror movie, not a vacation.

We loved the fact that we could completely open up 3 of the walls to the open air. After a day of exploring the island, the first thing was to open up and let the breeze flow through. There was fresh fruit all around us. The bananas picked fresh off the tree were the best I ever tasted. The owner John, and caretaker Jobe were very friendly and after having conversations with each of them I found we had a lot in common. We would like to return someday.
