Kauai Country Inn:
"Best Place To Stay In Kauai"
Date: Dec. 7, 2006
Reviewer: Suzanne Guarino, Memphis, TN Picture
If you are looking for a perfect place to stay on this island paradise, the Kauai Country Inn is for you. The suites are spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We were in the Green Rose Suite for a week and couldn't have been happier. While the inn is not on the beach, it's a short drive to beautiful Lydgate beach. The prices are incredibly reasonable ... and the pictures on their website show the property very well.
Don't miss the Beatles Museum at the inn, and be sure to get to know Martina and Mike. They are an awesome couple who will insure that your stay is perfect. They have GREAT restaurant recommendations, and know the island very well.
I don't know when we will return to Kauai, but we will definitely stay at the Kauai Country Inn again. Our thanks to Martina and Mike for making our vacation even better than we thought it could be.

Martina & Mike: Aloha! We wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at the Kauai Country Inn while celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary. Thank you for being such friendly and generous hosts, and for being so helpful as we planned our vacation around four of your wonderful accommodations (Green Rose Suite, Orchid Suite, Plumeria Suite, Country Cottage).
The Kauai Country Inn is conveniently located just up the road from the Wailua River and the Opaeka’a Falls. Its central location on the Coconut Coast of Wailua and Kapa’a makes exploring the island a tropical breeze. Most first time visitors to the islands usually stay at the hefty-priced big hotels or condominiums, but the Kauai Country Inn will really give you an idea of what living in Hawaii is like. We’ve visited and even lived in Hawaii many times over the years while working on our travelogues, and this is one of the best inns we’ve ever stayed at! From cleanliness to room presentation…from kitchen facilities to computer & internet accessibility…from beach gear to their amazing movie collection, Martina & Mike run a top-notch operation. They’re two of the most intelligent and helpful people you’ll ever meet. This might be the best value on Kauai…so run, don’t walk, to the Kauai Country Inn! Mahalo nui loa and we look forward to visiting the beautiful Garden Isle of Kauai again soon!

Kauai Country Inn:
"Great Place"
Date: Aug 16, 2006
Reviewer: Joanna Schifferle, Stowe, Vermont
My husband and I spent 5 nights at The Kauai Country Inn as part of our honeymoon. We came from The Four Season's on Lanai where we were greatly pampered, so we were expecting to feel a bit of a let down at the Inn. That was not the case at all! It's true that the Kauai Country Inn is not a Four Season's resort, but rather than feeling like we were on a luxery vacation, we felt like we were at home. It was nice to stop shelling out $60 for breakfast and instead wake up to a huge bowl of cereal, some fresh pineapple and a freshly brewed cup of coffee (all prepared by us). And there's nothing like grilling up a good burger at the end of a long day spent hiking. We stayed in the Green Rose Suite, which is 1200 sq ft. The suite was very clean and had an excellent kitchen. Mike and Martina (the Inn's owners) are inredibly gracious hosts that will bend over backwards to be sure you have everything you need. They told us all about the best spots to go on the island that aren't very touristy. If you want to get an insiders connection to the island, you don't mind cooking or staying a bit of a drive away from the beach, you can't find a better place to stay then the Kauai Country Inn. The value is truly outstanding.

Dear Martina & Mike, when we arrived I thought I was in a dream. The island is more beautiful then I could have imagined. When we arrived at the Inn, time felt like it stopped. It has been one of the most wonderful, and definitely the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. I only hope "time" won't be too long before we are able to return. Thank you so much for your warmth, laughter, directions and new friendship. Carnie and I will never forget this place, nor such wonderful company.

Kauai Country Inn:
"Honeymoon Dream"
Date: Nov.6, 2006
Reviewer: Stacy & Scott Dennis, North Carolina Picture
We just returned from our honeymoon on Kauai where we stayed at the Kauai Country Inn. The island is very lovely and we enjoyed the slower pace of things as compared with Oahu, where we stay in Waikiki. We will definitely try to make it back to this island in the future and will be staying at Kauai Country Inn.
First of all, Mike and Martina, are the nicest people you will ever meet. We are from North Carolina, so that is saying alot, considering the amiable disposition of our neighbors. I have never been treated so kindly except by family, and that's what Mike and Martina made us feel like. They saw to our every need, were quick to give much needed advice about the island and dinning, and even opened their own house up to us when we unexpectedly and repeatedly dropped by with questions. Mike and Martina will give you the clothes off their back if you forget to pack something and are in need. They are the number one reason to stay here at the inn.
Second, the inn is quaint and laid back. It was decorated and furnished with a very stylish and easy going feel. My wife and I stayed in the cottage adjacent to the inn and were very comfortable. Every room comes with a computer and free internet, courtesy of Mke and Martina. This is great if you have a digital camera and you need to burn pictures to a disc. We used snorkeling gear, also furnished by the inn, to go snorkelling at Tunnels Beach. Wow, what a great place. The grounds are covered with fresh fruit growing from the trees. My wife used the fruit when making breakfast and we also packed some for a snack while hiking up Sleeping Giant, which is located 5 minutes from the inn.
In short, this place is a paradise and Mike and Martina are the type of hosts that you want to keep in touch with. We are busy saving our money so that we can go back again

Thank you for making our stay in Kauai so comfortable. The Kauai Country Inn is a fabulous find and a great value. The setting is beautiful and the location is central to everything. The beauty of Kauai is endless and we hope to return and will definitely stay at your inn again!

Hello Martina and Mike! Here we are safely back in Colorado. It sure feels cold! Can we come back? Mark and I wanted to send you some pictures. Feel free to use them for your website, etc...It sure was wonderful staying at your Inn and so enjoyable chatting with you when we were there and even getting to see your Beatles museum. What exciting lives you both have lived! Please keep in touch and thank you for such a lovely time while we were in Kauai. You have marked a special place in our hearts. Take care and mahalo,
Jules & Mark Schultheis, Lafayette, CO Picture
Dear Martina and Mike, just wanted to thank you once again for the wonderful time we had with you. It was just like being in paradise, and we are still dreaming of what we experienced with you. We are hoping to come back in about 2 years and hopefully you will have us, once again, as your guests.
PS: Regards, especially to Annie!!! (Hallo Martina &Mike, etwas verspätet (der Alltag hat uns wieder) noch zwei Fotos von Euren Gästen aus Deutschland. Es war eine wunderschöne Zeit im Kauai Country Inn, wir haben es sehr genossen und haben viele schöne Erinnerungen mit nach Hause genommen.

Kauai Country Inn:
"Fun in Kauai!"
Date: Oct. 27, 2006
Reviewer: Kate & Mike Maxwell, Lewistown, PA, Arlington, VA Picture
My husband and I recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary with a 10 day trip to Kauai. We stayed at the Kauai Country Inn (in the Yellow Ginger Suite) for the the duration of our trip. The KCI is in Kapa'a, which is a great location because it's really central to everything on the island. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the extremes: Waimea (South) or Princeville (North). Everything else fell somewhere in between, so we thought that it was a great location for our stay. The inn is out in the country a bit, which is cool; we listened to the frogs, insects, and chickens instead of traffic! The Yellow Ginger Suite is very nice; two bedrooms, a bath, a kitchen, and a living room. Mike and Martina (the owners, who are a very friendly and fun pair!) have personal touches all throughout the inn, and they have lots of beach and snorkeling equipment for your use (free!). They also have kayaks for rent. All in all, we were very happy that we chose to stay here, as we saved a ton of money yet really enjoyed the accommodations.
Thanks, Mike and Martina! Hopefully we'll be back again someday!

This was our first trip to Hawaii, we really had no idea what to expect. We chose Kauai after a quick perusal of Frommer's Hawaii 2006 guidebook, my wife actually picked our lodging - based mainly on price, I think - plus the good review in Frommer's. We booked directly on the Internet using the user-friendly website, which allowed us to view and chose our accommodations and to immediately check availability.
We sure were happy with what we found! The Kauai Country Inn really doesn't look like an Inn at all. It looks, and feels, like an old friend's country house which just happens to be nestled in a tropical rainforest near the end of a country road. There's little to suggest an Inn when you drive up - I don't think there's even a sign. Basically, you look for number 6440 as you drive up into the hills on the Olohena Road (Rte 581) - which you've hopefully located using the excellent directions provided by hosts Mike and Martina Hough (pronounced "How"). It's a 20-minute drive over from the airport in Lihue. We found their location near the town of Kapa'a to be nicely centered between the attractions on the north and south sides of the island.
On Jan 4, 2006 - after an 18-hr trip from New Hampshire - we arrived well after dark. The Christmas lights were ablaze, and we found a welcoming envelope on our door with complete instructions - a most painless way to "check in" after a long day. We happily slid into bed ten minutes later!
The next day we met the Houghs, their dog Annie, and their son Johannes (whom we easily recognized because of the numerous photos of his childhood around our suite). Did I mention, this place really felt like home? No point in going into a long description of the rooms, you can see them on the website. Suffice it to say, we stayed in the Yellow Ginger Suite and we loved it.

Kauai Country Inn:
"A Gem - You'll kick yourself for staying anywhere else!"
Date: Sep 11, 2005
Reviewer: Sandra Alboum, Arlington, VA
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights at this Inn in Kapa'a. We were in the Orchid Suite, a "steal" at $95/night. It has a separate bedroom (with computer and internet connection!), a small kitchen with microwave, hotplate, coffee maker, toaster, sink, and table, and a bathroom. Outside is a lovely lanai (deck) with full sized grill, table, hammock, and rocking chair.
The inn is surrounded by fruit trees. Don't miss the starfruit. It's better than anything you'll ever get in a grocery store! (And it's free.) Try grilling it. Yummy.
Mike and Martina are great hosts -- attentive, but in no way overbearing -- and the accommodations were clean and tastefully decorated. The inn is located about 10-15 minutes inland, around 20 minutes from the airport, and no more than an hour or so from anything you would ever want to see. It's VERY central.
We will definitely be staying here again when we're back in Kauai, which we hope will be soon. This place is a real gem.
(P.S. Don't miss their Beatles museum!)

Mike & Martina, Thank you so much for your hospitality. We had a wonderful wedding and your photography was breathtaking. We enjoyed our honeymoon in the Country Cottage. We recommend Captain Andy's sunset dinner cruise to the NaPali Coast. Our wedding night dinner at La Cascata in Princeville was perfect with a beautiful sunset to close out a perfect day. The accommodations were wonderful. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and solitude. Thanks again - Mahalo! We'll definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to come to Kauai.
Dawn & Michael Law, Burbank, CA Picture
My wife and I stayed in the Green Rose Suite for 8 days and it was exceptionally pleasant. The Kauai Country Inn was a perfect compliment to our daily adventures. When my wife and I had finished kayaking, snorkeling, or jogging, it was a pleasure to return to a peaceful and spacious suite. In the mornings we heard various birds and on several evenings, I took advantage of the kitchen to make a few meals which included grilling Ahi tuna on the outside grill. We really couldn't ask for anything more. Thank You Martina and Mike for a great experience!
Jerry Johnson & Judy Yang, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Picture
Thank you for your warm & peaceful Inn, we had a great honeymoon and wonderful time on this beautiful island. We will carry fond memories home with us, alas our time has run out. All the comforts of home in such a beautiful setting, everything we had hoped for. Mahalo until we meet again...
John & Marilyn Sweeten, Boerne, TX Picture
Can we come back yet? We are already missing Kauai, but we have a lot of great memories to look back on. Your Inn is so beautiful and relaxing, it's definitely the best place to stay on the whole island. It gave us a chance to experience how the locals live and we will be back! All the little extras in the suite were fun too.

As regular visitors to Kauai, we were looking for a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing place to stay this time. We found it at the Kauai Country Inn! We enjoyed our stay in this suite, as well as the Plumeria Suite. Thank your for providing such great accommodations that make us feel like this is our Kauai "home". Hope to see you soon on our next visit(s)!
Ferne Glaser & John Bacon, Mississauga, Toronto, Canada Picture
What a treasure! Your website with your Inn photos, family history and guest comments brought us here. Our only problem was that we had a hard time leaving in the morning to see the rest of Kauai. And what a nice place to come back to! Thanks for sharing your beautiful Inn with us. We loved staying here - the quiet, the rain and sunshine, the animals - everything! With best wishes,
Steve & Carol Carter, Fairway, KS Picture
Mike and Martina, We had a lovely time during our stay in your Yellow Ginger Suite in early November 2005. The accomodations were even better than the online advertisement. You had thought of everything to make us feel comfortable and at home. The location was perfect and we appreciate the answers to all of our questions regarding activities; you were so very helpful. We will certainly recommend your inn to friends who might be coming to Kauai. Thanks again for adding to the pleasure of our wonderful 30th wedding anniversary vacation.

Kauai Country Inn:
"Amazing Hospitality, Beauty and Value in the Countryside of the Garden Island"
Date: January 4, 2005
Reviewer: chaswinters@sbcglobal.net, Kansas City, MO
My wife and I went on our delayed honeymoon to Hawaii on Christmas 2004. After a few problems in Oahu including lost luggage, bad luau experience and heavy extra expenses we arrived dirty and tired at Lihue on the 27th. We proceeded to explore the Garden Island hoping that (1) our inn would be as good as we expected, and (2) that we would get clothing and relaxation and comfort soon. Our flight from LAX had been turbulent and the weather both on Oahu and Kauai had been much less than ideal.
After a lovely drive along the north shore we spent a few hours at Ke'e Beach. Though it was still cloudy it was warm and the beach was lovely. At 2pm we left for our inn which was about an hour to the southeast just outside Kapa'a. The lovely island was bathed in sunshine while it rained south of Kilauea and we saw a full rainbow, something fairly rare where we live. We passed Opeka'a Falls on route 580 and about 10 minutes later arrived at Kauai Country Inn.
The owners, Mike and Martina Hough, are lovely hosts. They had left check in instructions on the door of the inn and we proceeded to go to their home (directly behind the inn). They spoke with us for a few minutes and we got the keys and headed for our suite. Our luggage arrived just as we opened our doors. The suite was spacious, artistically decorated and comfortable. What excited me from the beginning was that I could stay on Kauai in some level of comfort for a reasonable price. What really happened was even better.
For $110/night I got a two bedroom with a terrific bathroom and a kitchen in one of the most expensive places on Earth. Most trip planners would have you stay in Po'ipu or Princeville or Hanalei when going to Kaua'i. I disagree with this since it forces you to stay far from one side of the island or the other. Kapa'a is exactly halfway to everything. Nothing is terribly far. If you stay in Princeville you are three hours from Waimea Canyon. If you stay in Po'ipu you are two hours from Ke'e or Hanalei. The great resorts of Kaua'i look wonderful, certainly, but I can't imagine staying anywhere other than the Hough's wonderful oasis of charm in the hills west of Kapa'a.
The suites each contain a good Macintosh computer with DSL connection so you can write e-mails and IMs with kids or friends back home. This is a great touch. (For you workaholics out there, you can also work - sheesh!). The place is so well kept you could eat off the shining hardwood floors. Mike and Martina do everything they can to make you feel at home.
I really can't say enough nice things about the Kaua'i Country Inn.

We have just returned from watching the sunset on Kekaha Beach - a heavenly way to bring our vacation to a close. We snorkeled off the Na Pali Coast, took a dip in Queen's Bath, and drank in the views at Waimea Canyon & Kalalau Lookout. How nice it was to have a beautiful and gracious place to come home to! We loved the openness and comfort of the Green Rose Suite. The location of your Inn allowed us to navigate easily to both the North & South beaches. Thank you for your help online in the weeks that lead up to our visit & when we arrived in person. We will look back at our week here with great affection - especially when shoveling snow from our driveway this winter! Fondest Aloha,

The rumors are true! Kauai is paradise on earth! But the Kauai Country Inn tops it all! Mike and Martina, thank you for all the great tips and tricks - how to get around, restaurants, hiking and beaches. We hope to make our way back soon.
John & Claudine Glett, Diesse, Switzerland Picture
Thank you so much for your warm and gracious hospitality. Our three days here were definitely too few. We are already making plans for our next trip to Kauai which include staying here for the duration of the trip. The Green Rose Suite was a beautiful and spacious place to sprawl out and relax. We greatly appreciated all of your suggestions for dining and activities, and the special touches around the suite. The fresh fruit from your garden was a wonderful addition to our breakfasts. (Try the starfruit grilled with a little brown sugar!) Thanks again for making our honeymoon so romantic, relaxing, and memorable.

Thanks for our "home away from home in Kauai". We enjoyed all your recommendations for restaurants, especially the Olympic Cafe and Coconuts! We also enjoyed grilling our fresh fish from the Fish Express. It was so wonderful to have "Blockbuster Video" on the premises. We appreciated your hospitality and your warm welcome and truly enjoyed our honeymoon at the Kauai Country Inn.
John Thomas & Emily Miller, Somerville, MA Picture
We absolutely loved our stay! After a long day hiking in the Waimea Canyon coming back to our suite was pure luxury! Thanks for helping us find our way around town - we found everything you told us about. It's amazing that we can get everything we want in town so easily, yet still feel like we are in our own private mountain retreat. The only thing we would change is that next time we would stay longer.

We are so happy we spend a beautiful week in the "Heart of the Earth", like Hawaiians like to call Kauai. We enjoyed smells of tropical forests, the charming landscape and our baths in the ocean. All this will remain in our hearts forever, and it will keep us warm during our winter months here in Europe. Ciao, Ciao!

What a wonderful experience staying here has been! We really enjoyed our time in such a secluded country home. It was the perfect place to stay while on our honeymoon. The Inn is far enough away from all the usual hustle & bustle, yet still close enough to join right in. The suite and its amenities made us feel comfortable and at home while on the island. We definitely plan on returning in the future - perhaps our anniversary.

We got married on the 10th of July at the "Lago Maggiore", a beautiful lake in Italy and we continued our dream with a wonderful journey through the U.S. When we arrived in Kauai we were amazed at such an exuberant display of nature.

Kauai Prayer
Time for me to go again, Oh how I hate to leave
For here is where I am at peace, And my soul finds reprieve
There is only one wish I have, One prayer I offer up above
And that is to forever stay, Here on the island that I love
Perhaps someday I'll have my way, And on the Garden Isle live my days
But if that wish is not in the stars, Then I'll continue to visit from afar
Look for me on dawn's horizon, As I return for respite and fun
And with this Isle joyfully continue, This precious and fleeting liaison
Oh Heaven above hear my prayer, And allow me to find a way
That here in this jungle Eden, Along with Mt. Wai'ale'ale I stay.
Poem by Ann King, Yucaipa, CA Picture
Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. Kauai was a unique experience for us: the landscape, the beaches, golf, hang-gliding and most of all the stay at your beautiful Inn. We will be back for sure. In the mean time we'll remember you looking at Kiyo's statues.

Mike and Martina, Thanks for the lovely time! We couldn't have been more pleased. You have a nice camera. Good luck in the design world. The neoclassical revolution is on the verge. Thanks again!

Our stay in the Orchid Suite was too short! This place is homier and more charming then the resort we stayed in earlier. Thanks for the genuine hospitality and tips for enjoying our stay. Hope to be back soon.

I am so glad that when I "googled" accommodations in Kauai, that I kept going past the oceanside resorts and found this gem in the jungle. I bet the poor people of Poipu don't awaken to the call of birds and the chirping of geckos! Judy and I have had a wonderful time. Thank you for the dining tips and other helpful advice.

This Inn is amazing! Thank you Mike & Martina for making this feel as though we were at home. We thoroughly enjoyed the majesty of Kauai, and every evening when we returned "home", we felt just that - as if we were at home! We will definitely return as Kauai is one of our favorite islands and now we have a favorite place to stay - the only place to stay!
Tracie & Bill Becker, Eagle, ID
Thank you so much for your warm hospitality & in depth knowledge of all things relating to this awe inspiring island. The Inn has provided a perfect, tranquil setting for our honeymoon which will live with us forever. This truly is a home away from home. Thanks again for everything!
