There’s no better time to visit Hawaii than right now. Preliminary data shows that a record 10.4 million tourists visited the Hawaiian Islands in 2019, and for the first time ever, the island of Maui played host to more than 3 million of those tourists — more than any other year since the Hawaii Tourism Authority started keeping records. And while many of those tourists flocked to the island’s resort communities, others chose to stay off-the-beaten-path in a quaint Airbnb just like this one. Tucked away on the slopes of Mount Haleakala on an alpaca and rabbit farm is this cozy rental sure to make you feel right at home.
Situated at 3,300 feet above sea level, Cottontail Farm enjoys beautiful weather during the day and crisp, cool nights. This is the only working fiber farm on the island of Maui, and the cooler nights are perfect for the wool-producing animals that graze just outside this cottage in the backyard.
Faith and Hope, the farm’s two alpacas are quiet observers, but provide plenty of entertainment, just like the group fo Angora rabbits you’ll spot hopping around their enclosures.
Making the most of its outdoor space, the main draw of this vacation rental is clearly the outdoor living space complete with a dining table, fireplace, and chairs.
As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel right at home. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house is as cozy as can be, with beautiful decor and a light, airy vibe.
This welcoming cottage will make you want to whip up a mouthwatering meal in the kitchen, enjoy it either outside or at the quaint dining table, and kick back and relax on the couch before making a pilgrimage to the outdoor living area, complete with a fireplace.
Can you imagine a better way to spend your time than in this remarkable space that not only lets you hang out near adorable alpacas and bunnies, but features ocean, sunset, and summit views as well?
At the end of a long, fun day exploring all that upcountry Maui has to offer, crawl into this luxurious bed and prepare for a phenomenal night's sleep.
