Feather Leaf Inn: St. Croix's newest eco-retreat with historic charm

Feather Leaf Inn, lovingly restored by the current owners, offers an eco-friendly experience with an immersion into St. Croix’s history, nature and….. yourself! This eco-historic experience is the perfect place for a retreat to rest, relax and recharge.

I had the opportunity to stay at the Ocean house for a personal retreat… just me, myself, a ukulele and the beautiful west end sunsets. It was the perfect getaway to recharge with a mix of resting, reading and adventure! During the day I explored the coastline by kayak and snorkeled around some shipwrecks right off the shore. By night I cozied up on the sea facing gallery, poured a glass of wine and read a good book.

This impressive west end property includes a historic great house that houses five individual bedrooms, each with their own bath en suite, a glorious dining room and living room, a 52-foot sunset facing gallery, a pool in a romantic garden setting and a gourmet kitchen set up to host parties, yoga retreats or weddings.

Additionally, the estate’s botanical grounds include two other cottages. The one-bedroom historic stone cottage, the Ocean House, sleeps up to five people, has a private sea-facing gallery and a full kitchen. The Dragonfly House has three-bedrooms featuring sea facing showers (yes, you can take a shower and watch the sunset if you wish), balconies outfitted with hammocks for relaxing any time of the day and a full kitchen.

St. Croix is full of surprises and Feather Leaf Inn is my favorite of all! It embodies what is so special about St. Croix by celebrating the historic charm of our architecture and featuring the nature surrounding the Inn all while being sustainable through their practice and message.

St. Croix is a little different than our sister islands thanks to our sprawling farm land, open pastures, sandy coves, often with no one in sight, and the preserved historic architecture and estates… So a big shout out to Ryan and Corina , owners of Feather Leaf Inn, who have lovingly and passionately restored a little piece of our island while leaving a green footprint and a lot of love on this land.

For an unforgettable experience, please book your next stay with them Feather Leaf Inn | STAY

The beauty of St. Croix is that it is not overrun by big hotels - it has wide open spaces with verdant rolling hills bedazzled with historic sugar mills and sandy beaches lined with coconut palms and sea grape trees.  There are only three "big" hotels on island -The Buccaneer to the East, Carambola to the North West and The Divi Carina on the South East - All compliment the beautiful seascapes and/or the history of St. Croix.  In between these two hotels are boutique hotels, eco-lodges and vacation homes.
