Incredible Experience

This was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing vacations we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, our host Mark went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and always available to answer questions or offer helpful tips—while still giving us the space to fully relax and enjoy the experience. It was clear he truly cares about creating a peaceful and memorable stay for his guests.Every morning, we woke up to the soft sounds of birds singing and the rustle of the breeze through the trees. The house felt like a private sanctuary—surrounded by lush greenery, filled with natural light, and radiating calm. Although we were only minutes from the beach, it felt like we were in our own little world. That beautiful contrast—secluded yet close to everything—made the location absolutely perfect.We spent our days soaking up the sun, wandering the shoreline, and savoring slow mornings with coffee on the patio. Every moment here invited us to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and appreciate the simple joys of being present. It was exactly what we needed.We left feeling completely recharged and already planning our return. Mark, thank you for sharing this incredible place with us. You’ve created something truly special, and we’re so grateful to have experienced it.

Felt like I lived on Kauai and not a tourist

Easy drive access to beaches and Hanalei but tucked away in garden river oasis. A great value and perfect for two, though another bedroom is available but house might not have been as comfortable asInterior seating better for two. We cooked many dinners at the house and once I got used to older stove, there was everything I needed. Nice to have a laundry too and Mark the host was attentive and very helpful.

Great stay in a jungle treehouse. A well-kept house that was very well stocked. Dog barking was the only challenge. Earplugs and sound machines did help some.

Tropical Paradise near Hanalei

We had the pleasure of spending one week at the River House. The property is a beautiful little tucked away slice of heaven. The property was very clean, the kitchen well equipped for cooking, nice pots and pans and everything was super clean. The Lanai over looks the River and you could see a wide variety of birds. It was very peaceful and beautiful and we enjoyed our breakfasts there every day. The beds were comfortable and good towels and even some beach towels and beach chairs and a cooler for us to use. The owner was a super great host and very helpful with everything from helping to arrange a kayak to be dropped off at the property and helping to make dinner reservations our first night for a special occasion that we were celebrating. This place is very unique and we would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again when we come back 11/10 !Mahalo

Wonderful jungle tree house

We loved our stay here, and would definitely return! The home feels like a large comfortable treehouse in the jungle, beside a pretty babbling brook. We loved sitting on the veranda, listening to the birds and flowing water. The Tangerine tree beside the house provided delicious fruits too. The house is well appointed and the owner Mark, is both thoughtful and proactive. Eg. during the late January storm power outage we had he reached out to us to see how the Tesla Powerwall was helping - yes, there’s a Powerwall! Very handy and welcome.Something to note: Someone in the vicinity has some dogs that bark off and on at times. At first we thought that could be an issue for sleeping, but fortunately it turned out not to be. The dogs are evidently a recent development and Mark is still adapting to them. He thoughtfully dropped off a white noise machine (thanks Mark!) but it turned out we didn’t need it.The first night we closed the glass louvered windows - these are in place throughout the house and we really liked them - and turned on the quiet mini split AC in the bedroom, and that worked like a charm. With the AC in mind as a fallback, we opened the shutter windows the next night, and our babbling brook provided all the white noise cover we needed: idyllic! Such wonderful fresh air too. As

Amazing getaway!

This is a very special property! The house was extremely comfortable for all of us. We loved listening to the bird noises and watching the activity in the river every morning. We also enjoyed walking to the coffee shop just down the road, and the beach just over the bridge. It was a very peaceful.and restful retreat. And Mark was the consummate host!

Nature's retreat

The property is located right by the small river and is surrounded by lush plants and flowers. In the evenings, the smell of flowers wafts through the windows. The house is charming and well-made, beautifully appointed and maintained. I will miss the quiet life during our vacation in Kauai and wish we did not have to leave.

You need more stars for this place…

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Our stay was absolutely perfect. We travel to Kauai often and the only downside to this place is that now I will never be able to return and stay anywhere else :) Our trip to the island usually consists of many excursions and being out and about. But for the first time I was most excited to come home and spend time at the river house. So peaceful! The river, the birds, the lush landscape, and the tucked away, cozy and plush abode were next level. This was definitely a trip of a lifetime and I can’t recommend it enough. Mark was great and so easy to work with. You won’t regret coming here!

40th Anniversary Getaway

The River Estate Guest House was nothing short of fabulous! The lush surroundings, the clean and comfy interior, and the sounds of the stream made for a peaceful and romantic getaway. Although we had no needs, as the house has everything one needs, Mark was responsive and pleasant throughout our stay. Having kayaks rented and delivered to the house for a trip down the stream to a secluded beach was a bonus, and I highly recommend doing this. Also, the estate, the area, and the island are a birders paradise! Thank you, Mark, for everything! I would love to return someday.

Unforgettable experience with the family. The house itself is also in great shape, well stocked, and Mark was always responsive to any questions. We would definitely stay at this home again.

The Guest House at River Estate May 18-23

The Guest House at the River Estate was the ideal spot for our family time on the North Shore. We happened to visit during an historic Kona low and there was a threat of flooding preventing access to the property, but Mark stayed in communication and all worked out perfectly. We enjoyed breakfasts on the lanai overlooking the raging river. The location between Hanalei and Haena is such an advantage. We were able to secure parking two mornings at Tunnels Beach, and it was only a 10-15" drive to Ke'e Beach. (We did have 2 reservations thanks to the quick finger of our daughter and her husband on the booking website) The property itself was gorgeous. The kitchen was well equipped. In fact I don't think I've ever stayed at a VRBO with a Cuisinart food processor which I used to make a macadamia nut encrusted mahi mahi with mango papaya salsa-yum. Other highlights included Hideaways Beach, Secret Beach and Na 'Aina Kai Sculpture garden. Everything was just magical. Can't wait to return. Sheila

Lovely home by the river

Very beautiful setting, all the amenities you need! The Guest House is very comfortable and pretty. We had a little trouble getting in, as the key lockbox code had been changed, but Mark answered the phone right away and we got it sorted out. The only real problem was that some unknown (to us) person in the neighborhood has a number of dogs who bark, all together, at any time of the day or night, for long stretches of time. We took a video that Mark sent to the mayor, but nothing was done. It seems enforcement of noise abatement is lax. When the dogs weren't barking, it was as described online, a peaceful setting, with birds and river sounds. Mark was an excellent host and tried to help. But it seems a lot of people around there hunt wild boar and keep hunting dogs, who like to express themselves! So bring your earplugs.

Tropical Paradise at the Guest House!

Wowed by Mark's River Estate Guest House!! The home is well-appointed with a great kitchen, very comfortable beds, and cold a/c when one needs that after a day on the Kalalau trail or big day at Lumahai Beach. Our favorite part of the estate is the stream that runs alongside the house! We rented kayaks and spent many mornings and evenings paddling downstream to Wainiha Bay to watch sunsets. We also enjoyed walking to the Wainiha General Store for smoothies, ice cream and a great selection of beverages! Mark was very responsive to all the questions we had before and during our stay. I can definitely say we're planning to stay at the River Estate Guest House the next time we vacation on the North Shore of Kauai!

Wonderful experience. Mark’s guest house is so unique and private. It is the quintessential north shore abode. Clean, nicely appointed, comfortable beds and EVERYTHING works! Which is huge considering we have paid twice as much to stay in “luxury” homes where there is always something broken. Mark is a great host, always available and helpful. He arranged to have paddle boards dropped off at the house for us so that when we arrived we were ready to go. There are also beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and a cooler. We will be back! Thanks again for everything Mark!

great stay

My wife, 10 year old son, and I had a wonderful week-long stay at the Guest House. The stream it sits on is great and we enjoyed paddle boarding down the stream to Wainiha beach. One thing I very much appreciated is that unlike many rentals, the house includes some basic food items, such as salt and pepper, coffee, rice, condiments in the fridge, etc. We made several meals, including grilling, and had all the utensils or appliances we needed. There were also several beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and a couple boogie boards. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and reading. We tried to unplug as much as we could, and there was no cell service (a lot of hand made signs in the area in opposition to putting in a cell tower), but solid wifi that was easily good enough to stream movies at night. It isn't really within walking distance of any swimmable beaches, but is a short drive (less than 10-5 minutes) to several swimmable beaches and Hanalei. If you have a small group and want somewhere that isn't a resort and is fairly quiet, I highly recommend it.

Honeymoon heaven

Our stay here on the north shore was amazing!! Mark is a wonderful host and was super helpful and even had kayaks delivered before we arrived. The place was super clean and the views make you feel like you are in a remote jungle. The sound of the river flowing is so tranquil. Kayaking to the private island is super easy and we enjoyed watching kids jump from the one lane bridge. Marks place is secluded and remote yet is so close to town - quick drive to restaurants and stores. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking and had plenty of essential items. The bed was comfortable and the water is super hot so be careful and rest before jumping in. It was easy to leave too off our Jeep as parking is under the house. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the sounds and watching the day start with misty rain. We will definitely stay with Mark again! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Om värden

MARK BARBANELL är värd

Gratitude changes everything. From taking life's circumstance for granted to appreciating every precious heart beat is a blessing. Every day becomes a time to savor and embrace. These are the thoughts I have immediately when I see an image of my home turf. I arrived on Kauai shortly after my April 2nd birthday in 1970 on a surf trip and basically never left. Serendipity has followed me my entire life. Without it who knows where I'd be or what I'd be doing now. Living here has taught me many things that can only be learned here in a small community populated by many Hawaiians. Work hard, be humble and helping others are some of them. Respect for the land is paramount here. We are stewards of these lands when you understand the meaning the land has to the Hawaiians. The state motto is "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness" A very apt motto which speaks to the value the Hawaiians place on the "aina". That has always come naturally to me and was very helpful in fitting into my community here. I believe it is why I'm still here. Hawaii and Kauai in particular is a very sacred and spiritual place in the world. I have heard many of my guests tell me that they felt the spiritual energy strongly here. A rejuvenating feeling is palpable as well. My job is to share my Kuleana ( A uniquely Hawaiian value and practice which is loosely translated to mean "responsibility." The word kuleana refers to a reciprocal relationship between the person who is responsible, and the thing which they are responsible for.) with my guests and allow them to experience the true natural Hawaiian environment which is still the same in my neighborhood as it was 52 years ago. My life has been filled with many serendipitous moments. The trick is to recognize them in the moment and make the correct decision. I'm one luck buggah who knows that and values every heartbeat I'm blessed with now and am grateful for my world and the friends I make along the way doing the jobs I love. Aloha...

Varför värden valde detta boende

I think you might say that the River Estate property chose me. I did not choose it. When I first came to Kauai in 1970 with two of my friends on the surf trip, the island in general was much different. We had shipped a car over and spent the first two or three months camping around the island. There were no laws about camping and there were hardly any tourists here. When I first saw the valley where River Estate is located I immediately was drawn to it. A friend of mine told me about a piece of property he was not going to purchase that was in the area, I liked so much. He was going to buy it for $2000 but he told me that the person that was gonna sell it to him was told by the man who had sold the other part of the property that was divided by the stream to that that property for $2000 was the same piece of property just divided by the stream. My friend told me that the person that was selling it was Larry Ching a notorious mafioso type who was basically renting the town of Hanalei and had the only market and gas station in town. He had a bad reputation.So I went to Larry Ching had told him I was interested in buying that piece of property that incidentally had no legal easement to and yes, I had heard bad things about him, but I was not going to base my opinion of him by what other people said. I also had lived in a house on the east side of the island and my landlord there was the most influential attorney on the whole island and Larry Ching's business partner. I had come into contact with two of the most powerful men on the island. Larry Ching told me he'd sell me the property for $7500, $2500 down and $1000 per year for five years no interest. I took a chance and bought it. I went to the tax office and got the names of the people who owned the lots that I could get through to my lot and wrote letters. One woman who was living in Tahiti offered me easement through her property for free. This serendipitous moment changed my life forever with many more to come.
