Fern Grotto Inn

This was a fantastic place to stay. You are close enough to town to walk to amenities and beaches but it’s a very private and quiet location. The grounds and cottages are very beautiful and well maintained. We stayed at the river cottage which is very roomy with everything you could need. The lanai we used every morning and evening for meals and to wind down from the day’s adventures. It’s a great base camp to avoid the crazy traffic in town. We were able to use their free kayaks and launch right from their property to paddle to the secret falls which was an added bonus. They also have bikes you can use for free. We soo enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay here again. If a nice relaxed, quiet stay in Kauai is what you’re looking for, this is the place!!

I wanted to stay here because of Fern Grotto's location on the river with access to the Inn's SUPs, kayaks, and bikes. I absolutely got the outdoor access and activities I wanted, but I also really loved the house/room/accommodations. Coco A had a private backyard with hammock and table (and the outdoor house, sink, and rags were REALLY handy after a few of our muddier hikes), and we loved having a small kitchen and living room. The bed was comfortable, and the little extras made us feel welcome. I would absolutely stay at the Inn again!

They supplied many amenities—chairs, umbrellas, coolers, fins, masks, fishing equipment, etc etc. Very useful.

Quaint and extremely well-stocked cottages. Even had a can of whole bean coffee with a quiet grinder. (Plus another can of ground coffee.) Lots of other very nice touches like flowers in the room and a few treats in the fridge. Right on the river with kayaks so you don’t have to rent one to paddle up to see the Secret Falls. Located in the middle of the east side so a great location to access the north or south side of the island. Stayed in “The River” and couldn’t have been happier.

We enjoyed the island touches in our room, and the extras. We used the snorkel equipment, the kayaks, and the bikes to explore the Wailua area. The room was super comfortable with a view of the river out of our window.

Beautiful view and access of the lake and the location was perfect.

Central place to explore Kauai!. Had everything we needed. A wonderful accommodation with bikes, laundry, kayak/swim/snorkel gear. Easy access in and out. A nice in between of resort, hotel and B&B. Was very pleased with or selection of Fern Grotto and our stay.

Central location, excellent value, full kitchen, lovely rooms all with much character garnished with thoughtful touches.

Many thanks to Paul and Christy for a great two weeks. The cabin was clean, well-appointed and comfortable. And centrally-located on the island. We’ve stayed in many places on Kauai over the years, but I would imagine we’ll return.
