My wife says staying in the cottage is like staying in a treehouse. I think it’s like staying in a terrarium. Whether you choose the cottage or one of the two rooms, you will find your perfect hideaway. Iao Valley Inn is just that: an inn nestled in the Iao Valley, complete with expansive lush foliage, the Iao River, waterfall and a chorus of birds. It’s hard to imagine you’re only a five-minute drive from Wailuku! Some guests are somewhat intimidated when making a turn into the property. Tamara and Bob have produced an ingenious video to steer first visitors to the inn. Once you’ve arrived at the inn at your designated parking space, you will appreciate the care the hosts have provided. We chose The Cottage for its privacy and facilities: king bed, excellent shower, full kitchen, even washer and dryer. Outside the entrance is a large patio with a large table and four comfortable chairs for taking your meals. You might consider investing in a mosquito coil to keep the mosquitoes away. Beyond the patio is a large green expanse with a gazebo and a private hot tub for Cottage guests only. The gazebo can be used as a meditation room or for massage. Frankly, the whole area is conducive to meditation! I should point out that the hosts have recently installed Roku, a streaming service for those wishing to choose from thousands of films and TV programs. Unfortunately, except for Hawaii PBS, local programming isn’t available. Breakfasts are included for guests of the two rooms. The Cottage will feature a starter assortment of juice, fruit, and banana bread from the Four Sisters Bakery. It didn’t take much time for my wife to say ‘Wow!” In fact, we’ve already reserved for next year.

We stayed here during our 1 week stay in Maui. As a family of 4 we chose to stay at the single unit bungalow. Location is not very centralized but if you have a rental car, it is actually not that far from other attractions or city Centre. This accomodation is kind of hidden, need to follow the instructions given by the host on how-to reach there. Too bad the place of interest of Iao valley was closed when we were there. Once you found the place, you need to code to open the main gate (given by the host) and then you need to drive down a very steep winding road which will lead you to the bungalow and the rest of the complex. A parking spot is given just next to the bungalow. Bungalow looks very simple from outside but once you step in, you will really like the how the interiors are set up. A very cozy and pretty sitting area, with a kingsize bed just after it. All with the Hawaiian upholsteries. This very Hawaiian vibe. A big wardrobe next to the bed to store your clothings. A bowl of fresh fruit welcomed us at the kitchen pantry and baked sweet buns. Everything looks so immaculate. Kitchenette is big and complete enough for us to prepare simple meal. We used it primarily for breakfast. Kitchen has the view of the garden. Just love the peace and quiet of the garden view every morning from the every morning while waiting for my coffee to brew. Bathroom is also spacious. Towels are folded neatly. Shower cabin is big too. Apart from this bungalow, there is a separate small unit at the garden. A smaller unit to accomodate another 2 guests, in our case, our 2 older kids. This smaller unit is equipped with a portable AC and a wardrobe. 2 sun loungers are provided at the garden. Also a table with 4 seaters. And a terrace to chill or to dine. Beach equipments are well prepared too (beach umbrella, towels etc) It is a definitely a place to come for a good rest. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful place, just off the road but close to everything. The hosts were kind and wonderful. I usually stay at hotels but loved this charming place. The cottage was roomy, clean and just perfect. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Maui.

We stayed in the Palms Room at this bed and breakfast for a week in October 2022. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and very nicely decorated. We had an attached outdoor terrace that had a privacy screen from the room next door. Amenities included a Keurig with coffees, teas; microwave, refrigerator, dishes and cutlery. The refrigerator was stocked daily with fresh water, juice and fruit. A heavy glass covered dish had a different and delicious pastry each day. Available for guests were beach chairs, beach towels and coolers. Our views were just beautiful...to our left were the nountains of Iao Valley - lush and green and often crowned with wispy tropical clouds. To our right we could see all the way to the ocean through a break in the foliage. There is a waterfall on the property that provides the perfect background of peacefulness. While it did rain frequently (we were ina tropical valley!), the rain - and refreshing breezes, added to the overall atmosphere of lushness and beauty...and we were able to be outside comfortably sheltered to enjoy it. And when we were ready, the dry and sunny beaches were short drives away. Our hostess was gracious and checked in on us each day. We combined a week here with a week at a beachside resort for the 'pools' experience. While the resort was wonderful, we did miss our B and B in the valley!

Lovely, comfortable suite, good water pressure, even during their drought, delicious breakfast treats, quiet location. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful with information. They made available for their guests all sorts of useful things for our day adventures (cooler, beach articles, sunscreen, bug spray...)

This was our first time in Maui and found this gem by doing a search online for the best places to stay. We booked the cottage for 7 nights for a family of 4. Our 9- year-old twins stayed in the gazebo that is located next to the cottage and they loved the privacy. The owners thought of everything as the cottage was fully equipped to become our home away from home. The cottage and gazebo were clean, the shower is very large, and we loved having a washer and dryer. We went grocery shopping the first day we were there and the full-sized fridge was perfect to hold all the food. We also never needed to use the A/C because the weather is so perfect you can sleep with the windows open. The cottage and gazebo are next to a river and a waterfall that make a natural sound machine at night. It was heaven! I loved being away from crowds to experience paradise quietly. We drove to a beach in different parts of the island every day and didn't mind the drive since we were on island time and didn't care about arriving at a certain time. The drive was beautiful no matter where we went even if it took us 45 min to get to the furthest beaches. I would highly recommend this place and we hope to return again soon!

The positive reviews of this place was on the money. Here for 4 nights and the cottage met every expectation there was. Super clean and beautifully decorated, it felt like going to a charming home. I also felt safe within their environment with the security gate leading into the property.

5-Day stay April 2022 After five days near Lahaina in a large house with eight other family members, we recuperated at the Iao Valley Inn. It was the perfect place for R and R: secluded and peaceful. If you’re looking for old Hawaiian charm, this is the place. The “farm” consists mostly of tropical fruits; although coffee beans were grown here until the trees were destroyed in a flood not too many years ago. We never used the TV or the A/C, but they are there if you want to use them. We really enjoyed our private lanai and the breakfasts that Tamara provided each day. We usually had dinner (take-out from nearby grocery stores or restaurants) on the lanai. What a great way to end the day. After a fairly heavy rainstorm late one afternoon, the waterfall took on a different personality. Who needs a sound machine at night with such a strong-sounding waterfall! Tamara is a lovely host at a very restful inn located in a convenient spot on the island. It is a short drive to the airport, restaurants, stores, and beaches. Tamara will have ideas to help anyone have a great stay in Maui.

This is the second time I've been to Maui but first time staying here. I really enjoyed staying in this location versus one of the hotel/resorts - it's central to getting to the various edges of the island. If you are looking to see ALL of the island, this is a great spot - because the pick up point for our 'Road to Hana' tour was only <15 mins drive. (had we been in on of the resorts, we would have to wait for a second shuttle) It felt like a B&B. There are 3 main stays so not a ton of tourist/people walking about, you basically have the whole place to yourself! The experience is very serene and calm, it's situated off the main roads and you're surrounded by breathtaking views. Some of the best sleep I got in a while - feeling completely safe. Another treat I look forwarded to every morning was the fresh cut fruit and pastry the owners would provide. There was good variety during the week we stayed and everything was delicious. Some other points: Stayed for a week, saw only 2 bugs total - no roaches or ants, beach stuff available to borrow, fridge/microwave,

We spent 9 nights at Lao Valley Inn. The room was super clean and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was spacious with a lovely claw foot bath and shower. Plenty of storage with the added benefit of a fridge and a microwave. Breakfast provided, cereal and fruits and tasty cakes. The views were amazing as well. Very peaceful.
