Feather Leaf Inn: A Unique St. Croix Experience
Discover one of St. Croix’s most distinctive places to stay. Set on 19 oceanfront acres on the island’s west end, Feather Leaf Inn transforms a 262-year-old sugar plantation estate into a memorable blend of history, nature, and modern comfort.
This restored historic property offers a peaceful alternative to a traditional hotel, with private bathrooms, good Wi-Fi, shared kitchen facilities, and coffee and tea each morning. Accommodations range from rooms in the historic main house to the Ocean House, a standalone vacation home with stone-arched windows and vaulted ceilings. You won’t find TVs in the rooms, but you will find Caribbean breezes, breathtaking ocean views, and the sounds of waves and tree frogs.
Guests can borrow snorkeling gear to explore the nearby reefs and shipwrecks, or bicycles to discover the west coast, including Rainbow Beach, Frederiksted, the lighthouse hike, and the Monks Baths. Explore the grounds, relax in a hammock, and discover the historic ruins.
A Stay with a Purpose
Owners Ryan and Corina combine their passions for historic restoration, marine science, and environmental sustainability. Their work includes coral reef restoration, participation in forest stewardship, and planting more than 100 fruit and nut trees to support local food security and biodiversity. The inn is powered entirely by renewable energy.
Feather Leaf Inn also embraces the importance of sharing St. Croix’s complete history, including the difficult legacy of Danish colonization and slavery on the island.
More than just a place to sleep, Feather Leaf Inn offers an opportunity to connect with St. Croix’s history, natural beauty, and ongoing conservation efforts. For travelers seeking an authentic island experience with opportunities to explore, learn, and unwind, this is a truly special place to stay.
