"Thank you Mark being such a great host and having such a wonderful home away from home. I am the single person staying in the "Honeymoon Cottage!" It is beautiful and peaceful. I have been fortunate to have had georgeous weather as well. I have hiked a lot of the trails on Kauai so this time I did a lot of walking by the house and nearby vicinity while I was here. It was always very quiet with spectacular views everywhere. This has been a wonderful vacation!"

*We are on our honeymoon and really needed a relaxing vacation. I don't want to leave! This house is wonderful and I am so glad my husband chose the Guest House at River Estate. I never unpack when I travel but as soon as I walked into this house I unpacked everything and hid my luggage. The house is very homey and quite comfortable. It is also in a great location. After taking a road trip to the south side of the island I knew this was the place for us. You get more of a feel of the island here. Not as touristy and way more laid back. We couldn't ask for more. Today is our last day and I can't wait to come back. I can't wait to tell my friends and family about this house and it's perfect location. Thank you Mark for your hospitality and having such a wonderful place for us to visit.

*Sweet Mercy this is a wonderful island and property! River Estate is a wonderful respite from the rest of the world. Serene, well appointed and secluded. This is the best Guest House we've ever stayed in. Thanks Mark! And thanks to all the previous guests that have added their little bit of Kokua to the house.(Ed note "Kokua" is the Hawaiian word for help) Get a little, give a little. It's a wonderful way to remember Hawaii Markeekanholeo - the Host of Hawaii!

* Pristine beyond compare. Nothing compares to the beauty of the north shore of Kauai! Our stay, albeit short, was magical. It's nice to have Mark's retreat after a day of exploring. Markeekanholeo - the Host of Hawaii!

* Our week at the River Estate was truly an unforgettable and phenomenal experience! The north shore is by far our favorite. Nothing quite compares to it's awe and splendor. Your guest house is beautiful. We loved the space and location. Here we felt so relaxed as it did really feel like home. Thanks for your hospitality and helping to make our honeymoon a very special and memorable event of a lifetime!

* Mahalo Mark for a beautiful house in which to spend our vacation. This is our second visit to Kauai and second time staying here in your house. We came here for the first time last July and completely fell in love...with each other, with the island and with the wonderfully secluded location here at River Estate. This time we had an even more amazing vacation. I didn't think we could top last year but we did. It was all very memorable and we can't wait to come back next year!
Jack and Veronica Matfield, Fullerton Ca (9/2008)
* We had such a great time here! We loved the sound of the river. We read the other remarks from the guests in your guest book and agree with most all of them! All in all we're thankful that you encouraged us to stay on the north side of the island.
Ted and Katie Sheffield, Seattle, Wa (8/2008)
* To say that this place is amazing is to come up short. We can only hope that Mark keeps this slice of paradise available for many years to come. To the new guests read through the comments of prior visitors and you cannot go wrong! Most important...Enjoy yourself, your partner and have the courage to let go!
Lewis and Marilyn Olmstead, West Palm Beach, Fl (7/2008)
* Thank you so much! We loved everything and couldn't have chosen a better place for our first tropical island vacation. It was magical and relaxing, breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful all at the same time...
