River Cottage

Tucked into the lush tropical gardens of Fern Grotto Inn, the River Cottage is a charming studio hideaway just steps from the Wailua River. It’s not your ordinary rental — this is a place designed for two, and one of our most-requested cottages for honeymoons and anniversaries. Waking up slow and staying in feels just as good as everything Kauai has to offer outside.

The cottage looks out over private garden greenery, with the sounds of the river drifting in through the windows. Step outside and the kayaks and paddleboards are right there. The beach is a block away. And when you’re ready to come back and close the door on the world for a while — the Tantra Chair is waiting. It’s become something of a signature for couples who stay here.

Beautifully updated with air conditioning and thoughtful furnishings while retaining its authentic 1940s plantation character. A full kitchenette, private bathroom, and access to all complimentary gear round out everything you need.
