Designed by a Vermont architect who took full advantage of the dramatic slopes of Kauai’s forested hill country, this bed-and-breakfast’s close proximity to the island’s famed Waimea Canyon makes it a clear choice for hikers and nature lovers in general. However, even if you’re on Kauai for peace and quiet, the inn is a great place to collapse after a rough day of napping in the sun and a great dinner at one of the little restaurants nearby. The owners are also fountains of information about nearby golfing, scenic drives, and, of course, secluded beaches.
