Beautiful home on stilts that sits in a perfect tropical setting complete with babbling brook. A special home that welcomes. The air conditioning did seem to set off during the night but given everything else this was but a minor inconvenience as it never got warm enough to disturb our sleep.

Mahalo for leaving a nice review Amanda. The only thing I can think of concerning your issue with the AC is that you might have had the mode settings different on the remotes. It's a new system.
Absolutely stunning home in an unforgettable location. Peace and serenity surround you with the flowing water nearby and rainforest all around. Thank you guys for an amazing place for us to get away from the craziness of life for a week and we will definitely be back as soon as we are able to break away again. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay in River Estates. Mark was more than helpful to arrange anything I asked for...SUP's for the week, zodiac boat trip last minute, and helping us navigate the shuttle to Ha'ena State Park. Hanalei had a great farmer's market we hit up the first day to stock up on local produce as well as being a cool town to cruise around. The SUP's were great for paddling down to the private beach area, but there are also many beaches very close by to visit as well. The house was very clean and perfect for our needs. It felt like living in the jungle for a week. If it wasn't a 22 hour journey, we'd be back again soon!

Mahalo for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your stay at River Estate and taking such good care of the house. Even though it’s a long journey I’m hoping you do come back someday. You and your family are always welcome here. Aloha.
House is very clean and well kept. Location is remote, just be prepared to drive a lot but that's part of being in a private area away from the resorts. Host was communicative, kitchen is well stocked, electric bbq is awesome outside, a lot of jungle noises which was a first experience for me. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

The property is beautiful. It is clean and well maintained. It is very peaceful. For those who like to cook, the kitchen was well equipped, better than most time shares and rentals. We will definitely return.

Mahalo Mike and Jenn....I look forward to hosting you and your family in the future.
Excellent communication with the owner. Perhaps the best location we stayed in Hawaii. The house is in a beautiful spot; the river is ideal just as advertised.
Amazing place! Phenomenal beauty on the North Shore and close to the most beautiful beaches on Kauai. Host was super responsive and helpful. Everything we needed was there for us. We will be back!
Mark’s guest house is a beautiful, well cared for home in an amazing location off the beaten path. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! Mark was an excellent host arranging kayaks and setting up a reservation for us for dinner. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is in a rural area and we enjoyed all the tropical sounds of birds, rain, chickens (yes, dogs but that didn't bother us) and of course the lovely little river behind the house. The property was very clean, well stocked with soft linens and comfortable beds. The owner Mark was just terrific, very responsive and helpful! Looking forward to a return visit :-).

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Amy. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to accommodating you in the future.
Mark was a great host. Always available and cheerful. The house was special. Tucked away in a well groomed, tropical enclave right next to a running beautiful small river. The place is immaculate. I can't speak highly enough of this. You have to be patient to get there because you're going on one way roads at times. but it was well worth it.
We had a blissful stay here - a lovely house in a beautiful setting, sparkling clean and well-appointed. Very quiet - we loved listening to the river and the birds. Comfortable beds, great bathrooms. Short drive to great beaches and wonderful food and shopping. We'd love to return!

Aloha Ellen,

This was such a unique property in a cool location. Just minutes from Hanalei, this secluded property was super clean, stocked with everything we needed, and Mark was very helpful! I wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely return.
Everything about the stay was incredible, from before check-in to after check-out. Mark, the host, shared a wealth of knowledge and was quick to respond to any questions. While we did not use the service, he offered tons of help and coordination around activities/things to do and shared a list of recommendations from restaurants to activities to history. The house was even more spectacular in person than the pictures and waking up to the serenity of the house really put a cherry on top of the cake. Would highly recommend staying here!
