This truly is a home away from home! Kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom has full size toiletries. Free laundry facilities include detergent and dryer sheets. The amenity that totally goes above and beyond is the recreational activity supplies: kayaks, SUPs, coolers (ice, too), beach towels, beach chairs, beach mats, and snorkel gear! You can get to the river from the property and the beach is a very short walk. I recommend this place for adults and solo travelers. Only complaint, and it has nothing to do with the resort (it's all over the island), was the roosters. The owner lives onsite which also helps keep any issues to a minimum. We would definitely stay there again.

True Hawaii. We were immersed in the sounds of birds, breezes, and we could even hear the ocean at night! Really appreciated the easy access to the river and they had all the outdoor amenities like kayaks, coolers, boogie boards, and bikes (for the 10 mile bike path just a block up the road!) It was central to the Kauai adventure tubing, Smiths luau, and only 30 mins from the north shore. Kapaa town is 5 mins and has all amenities. The road this property is on is also on a Heritage trial —which has multiple sacred sites to visit, a Hindu temple, and a waterfall! I can’t say enough about this place.

Booking the River cottage instead of a hotel and resort was such a great decision. The cottages are surrounded by lush gardens with trees laden with fruit and flowers. The area is quiet and affords you complete privacy. The check in process was great! Everything was already prepared for us when we went inside. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and was impeccably clean. There is an access point to the Wailua river with kayaks available. Laundry facilities were also such a convenience. I would love to stay here again! Such a magical and whimsical place.

We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Fern Grotto Inn. The room was clean and its furnishings and atmosphere greatly enhanced our Kauaiin experience by introducing us to local culture and customs. The well maintained grounds reflected the beauty of the "garden island" and the kind and friendly staff were quick to address our every need. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an awesome Hawaiian experience!
