Can anyone help me find this place in Kauai?
 
Ok, last year I started planning my trip to Kauai. While searching for places to stay, I came accross a website for this property that had 3 cottages located on 10 acres. I can't remember the names of any of the cottages but I remember one had a tree that was growing right through the middle of it. I also remember one of the other cottages being located close to a shared outdoor hot tub. The website had this map that showed the entire property layout, and there was a river and a walking trail to a swimming area. It seemed very tropical and eco-touristy, and I remember the prices being very affordable. For the life of me, I can't find this website anywhere. I thought I had it bookmarked, but it is now mysteriously gone.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can anyone help me find this place in Kauai? I'm sure I wasn't dreaming!

I remember that place. It was listed on the old vacationspot.com. I think that it might have been called Banana Bungalow...? (It was a banana tree growing through the bathroom.) Hope this at least jiggles your memory.

3 cottages on 11 acres but not cheap and no tree that I can see.

I did find an affordable rental with a tree through the middle, but it's on Maui. Possible you got confused?

Wasn't that the one in the Wailua area (inland) that got sold -- with some complaining here that they had paid deposits to the owners, and were having trouble getting refunds?

Try this place. My wife and I are staying there in June.

I appreciate the replies. Thanks to auntiemaria's tip, I was able to track some older posts here which helped me find the place. It is called the Plantation Retreat. Unfortunately, the web site is gone, and it does appear to be out of business. Here's a link to a descriptive page about it, in case anyone else might be wondering about it:
