Celebrated my birthday with a lovely stay at the river estate. We enjoyed celebrating the charming old Hawaiian feel of the home. The furnishings and beds are very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The bedroom ac’s were awesome. Perfect for chilling out, cooking on the bbq and relaxing with great friends. The sound of the river and views of the mountains and scenery out the expansive windows are wonderful. The house has lovely light. We really appreciate Mark working with us after the hurricane to make our visit possible and to maximize our short stay with an early checkin and late checkout. Always provided responsive communication. Love the Haven coffee house being in walking distance and the nearby beaches too. Great location for being on the beautiful North shore.

Mahalo for your wonderfully detailed review Cheryl! Since your group was my first guests after hurricane Lowell I was curious to see how your experience was. I'm grateful you took the time to go into detail for future guests to see that the island is recovering quickly and River Estate did well. You're always welcome here. I hope you'll return again.

The house was wonderful - kitchen was super clean and fully prepared for all of our cooking. Bedrooms had individual mini splits for AC - the grounds were well maintained, and the provided beach chairs and boogie board were a lot of fun.

River Estate is a true respite and a wonderful place to embrace the beauty of nature and find relaxation. This was our first family vacation in 8 years, and this gorgeous site was the perfect spot for us to all be together. We loved the lanai the most; it's where we ate all our meals, read books, played games, and even watched some World Cup competitions, all with the view and sounds of the river, the occasional rain, and the chickens. The house has virtually everything one needs, and it comes with a phenomenal host. Mark was simply outstanding, responding immediately to any questions, handling any little glitches, and even calling us on the landline to tell us that Wifi was down in the area. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this paradise!

Mark is the consummate host -ready and willing not only to help with your stay at Riverhouse, but also to help with your arrangements for activities in the area. We LOVED what we called our “treehouse” as the view out the windows was of beautiful green trees, plants, colorful flowers, etc. We found all things we needed in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. Clean, soft linens on the comfortable beds. For those who haven’t been to Hawaii in recent years, bring ear plugs for night sleeping as the roosters all over the island are avid crowers! In other respects, this couldn’t be a more peaceful place to be.

A magical house on the North Shore of Kauai with easy access to Haena State Park for hiking, Tunnels beach for snorkeling and all that Hanalei has to offer (beach, restaurants, equipment rental, etc.). The kitchen is well-outfitted, the rooms comfortable and there are beach chairs, a boogie board and some floats available for use. The owner was super communicative and helpful. We would stay there again.

Great place to stay!

Property was as advertised and well equipped. The location is fairly tucked away on a small river with two beaches close by. There was a small general store and coffee shop close by which were handy to avoid extra trips to Hanalei. Mark was very responsive so check in and out were simple. Would recommend.
