Gem of Maui
If you are considering staying at the Iao Valley Inn, look no further as you have found an amazing place to stay during your visit to Maui. Located in the lush Iao valley, the property is the perfect place to retreat to after a long hot day at the beach. Sit out on the lanai and enjoy a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and pastries, while taking in views of the natural Iao mountains and nearby waterfall. Each evening offers a heavenly sleep on the most comfortable bed in the luxuriously quiet Palms room. The Iao Valley Inn is clean, private, and thoughtful. Tamara and Bob are sure to make your stay at the Iao Valley Inn an effortlessly pleasant experience.

Tropical Paradise @ the Cottage w Gazebo!
It was good fortune to find and book The Cottage with Gazebo, for a group of four of us - all Hawaii 'virgins' -- what a great place in which to find ourselves our very first time in Maui! Booking with Tamara was easy and convenient, directions were easy to follow, location was ideal (we were attending my son's wedding on the west coast in Kapalua Bay), and more than what we even expected -- a tropical private commune in which to relax, cook, sun, hike, sleep for five glorious days. The surroundings are glorious, like being in Jurassic Park (without the 'raptors'!). The wonderful white noise of nearby waterfall was our background soundtrack to our peaceful stay. Truly difficult to leave when the time came! Last but not least,..for the price, it is an amazing value! Russell, Daniel, Sarah, and Amy WILL be back!

Absolutely the best!
I can not recommend enough this wonderful bed and breakfast. Bob and Tamara were great and my wife and I had the most relaxing time while staying there. We stayed in the Palms room and would do so again. The room is wonderfully decorated and comfortable and the bathroom is very nice as well. Great shower! The property here is so unique and beautiful! The breakfasts, which were all prepared and waiting for us were amazing. Hope to come again sometime.

Beautiful, restful B&B in Iao Valley
We had a lovely stay at the Iao Valley Inn last month. Tamara and the sweet dog Mango gave us a warm greeting, and a tray with tea and delicious brownies awaited us in our room. The breakfasts were delicious, and the grounds beautiful. Our room was very comfortable, and possibly even nicer than the photos. We loved listening to the stream and falls, and had a nice swim in the pool below the falls. The inn has a unique Central Valley location, away from the big hotels and resorts, but easy trip to beaches, upcountry Maui, north shore...anywhere really. Tamara and Bob were wonderful hosts, and we look forward to our next visit.

A secluded paradise with gracious hosts
The Iao Valley Inn exceeded any expectations we had when choosing (for us) non-traditional Maui lodging. We usually stay at a big resort, but we decided to break up this trip with something more authentic for our second half. Tamara and her dog Mango warmly greeted us when we arrived, and led us to our delightful Palms Room at the back of the home. The room was large and beautifully decorated, and stocked with a mini fridge to store local brews, a microwave, flat screen, fluffy beach towels, and ample closet space. The bathroom was luxe and super-clean and the shower was heavenly. An added bonus was the availability of the laundry room. We loved to sleep with the windows open and listen to the Iao Stream which runs through the property. Our covered lanai was private, and we ate breakfast outside every morning. Ahh, the breakfasts. These weren't your typical Continental breakfasts. Think papaya, lilikoi, eggs, and still-warm homemade bread. Tamara and Bob recommended an unpublicized Needle hike, which we loved, and I was very touched when Tamara graciously offered to call Mama's Fish House and "suggest" a special seating arrangement for us. The Iao Valley Inn is indeed a secluded paradise, Tamara and Bob are excellent hosts, and we can't wait to return.

Definitely a Peaceful Oasis
We stay at this amazing oasis. Tamara and Bob were wonderful host because they make us feel very special while we stay at the Inn. Every morning, a lovely breakfast was prepared. Most of the fruits was grown on the premises.Tamara and Bob were very informative about the island. There was a beautiful garden and small waterfall on the property.The View from the sitting area just outside our room is very scenic. It is a perfect way to unwind down after a long day site seeing around the island. It a paradise hidden in the middle of the City. We highly recommend this hidden gem.

Perfect Place for Romantic Getaway
My girlfriend and I recently celebrated our one year anniversary at the Iao Valley Inn. We could not have been happier with our trip, and staying in the Palms Room turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. You get an exceptionally clean and spacious room, plus an outdoor porch, plus wifi, plus breakfast (fruit, pastries, cereal, yogurt, milk, coffee) prepared each day. Not to mention a super warm and friendly host who is guaranteed to make your stay enjoyable, all at a price that is a third of what some resorts on the island charge. It's an incredible deal, really. Our "home base" was located just a short drive away from the best beaches, best food, and best attractions in Maui. We will definitely stay again if we're lucky enough to go back to visit. Thanks Tamara!!

A home on our holiday
Stayed here for just over a week. My wife and I opted for this over a hotel on the beach. My wife was a little skeptical at first about not being on the beach but she walked away loving is place and so did I. We had a car and after a full day of flying it was nice to have only a 5-10 minute drive to get to our b&b. The moment we arrived we felt like family. After meeting Tamara we knew it was a great choice. She is kind, considerate, and caring. We met Bob as well and he was equally as nice and considerate. The two of them have a great thing going and they know how to put a personal touch on something as simple as staying at their place. I recommended this to good friends traveling to Maui, and anyone who reads this post. This is more than a place to stay on your holiday, it is an opportunity to meet a great family who has made Maui their home. It is a great location in regards to exploring different areas on the island. It is closer than the west side or south if you are road tripping to Haleakala or Hana. It is within 30 mins to west Maui or South. Just a great central location if you are up for going beyond a one mile stretch of beach at a resort. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Oasis
We were blown away by this gem in Iao Valley. It is so peaceful and serene. It's tropical and exotic. You can roam the property while listening to the birds and rushing waters from the stream. You will feel like you are in Hawaii as you look out your room and see banana trees and other wild fruit trees which you will get to eat from for breakfast. You will also feel like you are family in Bob and Tamara's care. They welcome you with a genuine spirit. You will feel so thankful you found this place. We were and will definitely come back if we should get the chance again. I really could go on and on, bottom line you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!

Paradise Found!
Wow. As first time Maui visitors, I'm glad we chose this Inn for our stay. Tamara and Bob have found a little bit of heaven on earth and are gracious enough to share it. They exceeded all our expectations, and answered our questions, and we took them up on many of their suggestions from touring the island and sight-seeing, to shopping and dining. The central location was a nice bonus for us as we went a different direction each day. Our room was wonderful, and each morning's breakfast was delicious. When we get back to Maui, we hope to return!!

Tropical paradise!
Iao Valley Cottage was perfect for our first-time visit to Maui. The cottage, gazebo, lanai and landscaping are exactly as described online and more!! Tamara and John are wonderful hosts. We felt very fortunate to have found this tropical paradise. The cottage is centrally located for exploring all parts of the island. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Wonderful room, tall ceiling, super clean, great hosts, for us a perfect breakfast of yoghurt, fruit, sweet roll and coffee, and so close to the Iao Valley State Park for a hike, central for Hana, Haleakala, or South to Kihei etc.

Heavenly Place
This was actually our first time ever to a B&B and I doubt we will ever find a more perfect one. The room and grounds are immaculate. We stayed in the Orchid room for 6 nights and we enjoyed the very comfortable king bed and the elegant clawfoot tub. Looking out the door or sitting out in our private covered lanai was breathtakingly beautiful with lush greenery like a garden of Eden. Lots of rain the week we came, so the "raging" creek was fun to watch as it changed day to day. Tamara was a wonderful host. Every day, promptly at 7am, there was a fresh fruit plate and assorted muffins or homemade cookies waiting for us, along with home-grown coffee. What a treat! Thanks for everything!

Lovely hosts, lodging and grounds
We just returned from a working vacation and during our trip we had the pleasure to stay at the Iao valley inn, Tamara and Bob are gracious hosts. We stayed in the Palms room and loved how it was decorated and the privacy it offered. The grounds are gorgeous with the river running through and the beautifully tended gardens, it felt like staying in a park. We also enjoyed the wonderful breakfast that was served daily and especially the fresh fruit. Will stay here again when we return to Maui! Thank you Tamara and Bob for making us feel so welcomed in your home. Sincerely, Melody & Craig

Perfect getaway in paradise
My husband and I had a quick 3 night stay here before heading over to Lahaina for the rest of our trip. I wish we had been able to stay longer, but the room was booked for the other days. The inn and grounds are really beautiful. I didn't realize the stream/waterfall would provide such a view, in addition to the distant ocean, mountains, all the great plants, and even a rainbow one day. It is so serene and perfect for those who want to get away from the crowds. We are the kind of travelers who plan to see as much as possible, and we loved that the location of the inn was close to the airport and was easier for us to make the sunrise at the crater, the long trip to hana, iao valley, and the helicopter tour we did on that side of the island. Our room was great, clean and inviting, plenty of space, comfortable with the windows open and fan on. The microwave and mini fridge were nice to have. I really have no complaints. The inn was absolutely perfect, especially compared with our stay at Lahaina Shores. Bob and Tamara are the sweetest people, you will love them. They were even nice enough to hang on to the breakfast we missed by heading out so early, so we still got to enjoy the fresh fruit later. And they had a great recommendation for a pizza place that would deliver on a rainy night we decided to stay in.

Peaceful Valley
A very special B & B with a wonderful continental breakfast. The room was beautifully decorated with hand picked art and unique furnishings. We loved the outdoor space with table and bed, a very relaxing place to hang out and enjoy the clouds drifting over the mountains. We were graced with a full rainbow on our last morning there. It is a good location for accessing places. Our hosts were the best they were there to answer our questions and very willing to share their special place.

Wonderful
My wife and I had a wonderful stay, for four nights. The quiet location just out of town was perfect for adventures anywhere on Maui. The hosts have lived on Maui for many years and were a wealth of information on what to see and do. For example they mentioned a very interesting Hawaian Fabrics art exhibit at the Muai Civic Center that we would have never known about, we went and were impressed by the art works and very friendly staff ready to answer our questions.

Excellent Location, atmosphere and hospitality
The owners have done a wonderful job making the 2 rooms for rent as perfect as possible. You will lack nothing as you wake each morning to fresh fruit, home grown coffee, and a variety of baked goods and juice. An on-site washer/dryer is at your disposal if you need it. There are body boards if you want to hit the beach, beach chairs, coolers, etc. to make any trip to the beach complete. The owners are very hospitable, but not intrusive. To describe the rooms in one word...... Immaculate.

Excellence and beauty at every turn!
We've stayed at many VRBO places, and this one is bar far the best. Everything was clean, beautiful taste, fresh, and an amazing setting. Many places are worn out, and used rough. This one is maintained impeccably. Extremely private, lush and so Hawaiian. It's everything you want to have in Maui. Bob & Tamara are very friendly and helpful yet leave you in peace as well to enjoy the environment by yourself. Just the right balance of being there for you, and leaving you alone to experience Hawaii yourself. The breakfasts were awesome, and fresh. Their home grown coffee was a very nice touch. I especially loved the puakenikeni tree outside our bedroom window; the most fragrant flowers you can imagine, and I picked one every day for my hair. We had one big downpour while we were there, and watching the stream turn into a roaring river was really cool. We got to listen to it's roar for a couple of days, and loved that sound as we slept. Highly recommend this sweet hideaway on this side of the island!

Fantastic Find
This a great spot relatively new to the lodging scene and we loved every moment of our stay here. Tamara and Bob are phenomenal hosts with delicious breakfasts waiting for you every morning and helpful hints for what you are looking to do on Maui. It is a welcomed change from beach resorts as it is nestled in the valley seemingly away from everything. You will want to have a car if you are staying here but you are an easy drive to any beaches or hikes. Will absolutely stay here again even if it is just to visit with Bob and Tamara.

A private oasis tucked away right near the town of Wailuku
I wish I had more time to explore this beautiful property. But waking up to a double rainbow just outside the door was pretty amazing. My favorite part of the room was having sweet tropical blossoms waft in beside us in the evenings from the open window. My suitcase still smells of it. The hosts Bob and Tamara were very kind and personable, it was nice having them take care of us for a few days. My feeling is that we'll be back sooner than later!

It was amazing, beautiful and private.
Tamara (the owner) made us a wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit picked off their own fruit trees. She was an amazing host. The rooms had a spa like feel. You can roam the property and play in the waterfalls. It was centrally located to all of the parts of the Island we wanted to spend time at. It was a nice romantic ending to our trip. Thank you.

Special & Enchanting
We originally booked 3 nights in this beautiful B&B in the Iao Valley. We were greeted upon arrival by owner Tamara, who is one of the most delightfully engaging and sweet people you're likely to meet on the island. Incredibly easy-going, interesting and always with a smile, Tamara is one of those people you instantly feel like you've met before and she goes to great lengths to ensure your stay is comfortable and private, yet is a great conversationalist and very funny. The property itself is vast and located in this gorgeous valley.We still wish we had taken the time to explore, but we loved sitting on the lanai in the morning digging into the fresh fruit and coffee provided and looking out over the grounds and towering cliffs of the surrounding valley while listening to the array of birds. The room with private bathroom is impeccable. Clean and with stylish design and very accommodating. We loved coming "home" to this room every night. We wanted to take advantage of all of Maui this trip and found the location to be absolutely perfect; centrally located and easy and quick to get to all the beaches and hikes that we had planned to do. Nearby Paia (I believe it's about 10 miles away) is the best bet for great dining and we spent most every evening in Paia for dinner. This is the place to stay if you aren't inclined toward resort or condo culture. Quiet, peaceful, exceptionally tended and managed and with a true aloha spirit, the Iao Valley Inn is by far one of the best places we have every stayed, and we are both very well-traveled. We liked it so much, we returned for two additional nights when we found the accommodations for the second leg of our journey to be underwhelming. And of course, Tamara welcomed us back with open arms!
