We were searching for a place that was away from major noise and that offered a sense of seclusion, and we found it at The Kauai Inn. Restaurants and shops are but a short car ride away and ask the owner for suggestions, he's "area savvy", so take advantage. I had a particular challenge, and the staff was extremely compassionate and accomodating. It was MUCH appreciated. I'm especially fond of animals and am a volunteer at our local animal shelter so I especially enjoyed the chickens, ducks and horses that were in the area, and on the property. Neighbors were friendly. Breakfast at The Kauai Inn is offered daily and you won't find fresher fruit anywhere. If you want a gut-packing breakfast, may I suggest the Tip Top Motel (Google), otherwise, The Kauai Inn of fruit, sweet rolls and OJ hits the spot - and caffeine *******, your vice is covered here with 24/7 coffee (and tea) Evenings are serene. So incredibly peaceful. It was hard to leave. Will post photos when edited up.
