We loved our week long stay at Dawn's cottage.. It is small and cute and had everything that we needed. Dawn lives next door and we'd never know she was even around unless we wanted her. Which we did several times and she was right there within a minute to help us. The cottage is comfortable, totally private, even though Dawn lives next door, you can't even see her house while in the cottage and she cannot see into the cottage unless she is right there at the door. I asked her if there was a laundromat nearby and she gave me a laundry basket, washed and dried and folded our laundry and got it right back to us. A service that I hadn't expected, but she's just sweet like that. If I return to Kauai, and I sure hope I will, I would definitely stay there again. Dawn is a very interesting woman, I was glad that I took a little bit of time to get to know her. Very interesting. As I said, you wouldn't even know that she's around at all unless you want her. The bird sounds and the ROOSTERS, and the frogs and the river close by: all were lovely to listen to but every now and again we'd hear this beautiful almost eery sounding flute off in the distance. Only to find out that it is Dawn. It was like it was a lovely soundtrack for the experience that we were having. If you've read other reviews...the driveway was not difficult at all. And she made it clear that we could drive up to the cottage, drop things off and then return to the lower end of the driveway to park. It's not like she expected us to carry our heavy stuff up the hill. I felt safe and secure our entire stay. The road to the cottage IS wind-y, one laned, and has some pot holes. But so what. You drive slow. You pull over to let someone pass. It's not the end of the world. You get to the end of the street and that just might be one of the best places IN the world.
