The pros: The pool is lovely and quiet. There is a nice little area to grab a beer or a drink after a long day that works on an honor system. Eileen, the hostess/receptionist, is very kind. Plenty of clean towels provided and the housekeeping was adequate. The cons: The room that we stayed in was stark and cold with limited room for luggage and seating. We had 4 suitcases but there was only one small luggage rack and no furniture with any drawers so we had to use the only two chairs in the room as luggage racks. As far as the neighborhood, there is nowhere to walk to from here. The hotel is located up a long, steep driveway and is a few miles from stores and restaurants. There is a road below the hotel where there is constant honking of horns as the cars drive by and lots of roosters crowing day and night. We could hear our neighbor's conversations, sneezes, coughs, snoring through the walls, so that was a big turnoff for us. Not a bad place, but we would not go back mainly due to the room feeling cold and uninviting.

Lovely guesthouse for a short stay.
It was a lovely room overlooking the harbor. Sitting on the balcony was great as we at dinner. There was a fridge and microwave, but no dishes to use. Some plates and silverware would have been nice.

My daughter and I stayed at this property nestled on Crown Mountain last week. It felt so homey and more like a bed and breakfast with the care that they put into the intimate details and personal touches. The common open area (which also serves as the dining area) was a vibe - from the ecclectic decor and books to the music choices, and the views of St. Thomas were breathtaking. Libby and Marshall were great, and Eileen (of their staff), was such a sweetheart. She went over and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. Our room was very spacious, clean and charming. The restaurant had great food as well. Be warned, that there are lots of stairs on the property, so it may not be optimal for those who have accessibility issues, but overall, I'd highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay there again.

This is a lovely family run hotel in the hills above the town with fantastic views across the island. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the pool and the iguanas in the nearby treetops. Breakfast was great and the honesty bar was well stocked. Thank you to Eileen for running us in to town and to the airport, very kind of you. We would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending this little gem of a hotel in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely little boutique resort. This hidden gem offers personalized service above that of a 5 star hotel. Something you notice upon arrival. The hosts are also the owners, and have put together the subtleties of home in a charming atmosphere overlooking St Thomas Harbor and Crown Bay. On the dining level you can relax with an open bar cocktail and play Chinese Checkers or read one of the many books, from 1 of many book caches located throughout the resort. Dinner in the open Caribbean air is enchanting, and the menu choices were delicious. Breakfast is complementary. The rooms are well kept; each having its own unique character. Each offering a microwave, refrigerator and smart tv. Comfortable beds are made daily with quality linens and quilted bedspreads. Probably not the best place for wheelchair mobility but you can get around with limited mobility. Whether you’ve come to stay or just for dinner, you will always remember this place.

I have to mention first, Dinner at the island guesthouse was amazing! We stayed for 8 days and couldn't have had a nicer stay. marshall (Michelin cook/host) and Libby were so nice and accommodating when it came to breakfast and anything else. The honor bar system was so clutch during late nights when most places are closed; they have a great bar selection, and the pina colada mix was a-1. Hopefully my review makes sense because there are so many good things to point out about staying here. Marshall and Libby were great hosts with great conversation and a welcoming relaxed vibe; they gave us insight to the inner workings on the island as potential property owners. But by far the best things I've experienced on this trip was dinner prepared by Marshall at their in-house steak restaurant (Tues-Sat only). Dinner was great but the standout of the entire night was most definitely the "Smoked Tomato Caesar Salad" w/little gems, pecorino, breadcrumbs, fish sauce. This dressing needs to be bottled and sold immediately; amazing! give me 14 of them right now lol! The smokey tomato flavor, the slight saltiness of the fish sauce, it was perfect. Tomato in Caesar was a super genius creation. Not to forget, the Swordfish Katsu Bites w/sriracha, scallions, and housemade furikake, like what!!!?! The crunch, the flavor, the texture, the everything! No salt, pepper or any kind of condiments needed when they are cooking. And their was Ube Cheesecake! I ran out characters but so much more to say

Requires taxi for all transportation. Nothing within walking distance for example beaches, restaurants, grocery stores or convenient stores. $30-$40 per trip to and fro. It is located in the hills very steep one way roads. Taxi dropped us off several times requiring walk up steep driveway. This is not for someone with a wheelchair, handicap or difficulty walking.
