2 Bedroom Cottage in Estate Mount Washington and Washington Hill, Frederiksted
If you’re a curious explorer who craves the tranquility of nature with a side of comfort, look no further.
Nestled in the subtropical rainforest on serene St. Croix, our guest cottage is an inspired sanctuary, a one-of-a-kind expression of the road less traveled. Completely renovated in 2024, we offer an ideal mix of amenities, access, and natural seclusion. Up a private road from the island's best beaches, along a wildlife sanctuary, and on the magnificent grounds of iconic Estate Mt. Washington (cheesy fun fact: our place was featured on The Bachelor, season 17), this guest cottage will make for a memorable island experience.
Our family lives and works on the 14-acre historic property, a former sugar plantation, open to visitors for quiet exploration during daylight hours. We are diligently beautifying the grounds, propagating and reforesting the land with valued fruit, medicinal and hardwood trees and plants, building a meditation labyrinth, clearing walking trails and making art. Our mission is to grow Estate Mt. Washington into a model for creativity, food, energy, ecology, tourism sustainability and resiliency.
You will feel refreshed and invigorated here, whether you want to explore the historic ruins, relax in the avocado orchard under the shade of the towering 300 yr old saman tree, or stay on the cottage deck, listening to the beloved wind chime or the birds.
We are also around to help make sure your stay on St. Croix is wonderful. We can provide personalized recommendations with the best island food, adventures, snorkeling/diving, watersports, fishing/lobstering, and more touristy stuff. If you need guidance before you arrive, we are here to help.
A few parting thoughts...
Our goal is to underpromise and overdeliver. If you’re looking for air conditioning, cable TV, or a spot to rage all night, our cottage is not for you.
Our cottage is less than a mile from the most beautiful, calm and quiet beaches on the island. Some of the best snorkeling and diving spots are in our neighborhood and several water sport rental shops are nearby.
Walking to the West end beaches from our place is a great experience and a nice bit of exercise. But for just about everything else you will want to do on the island, it’s a practical necessity to rent a car. Also, most of the island roads are navigable in any vehicle, but jeeps and trucks will make the travel more manageable.
It's important to mention that, along with all of the natural beauty, our subtropical rainforest is home to mostly harmless critters like iguanas, deer, bats, bugs, and an occasional snake. For those of you who get excited about that, we hope you enjoy the experience. If those creatures aren't your cup of tea, this might not be the place (for you).
We have three dogs who roam the property (mostly on leash), so you will likely get to meet them and may occasionally hear them. While we are highly conscientious about barking, our dogs do bark at wildlife and an occasional ring of the beautiful bell tower.
So, in sum, if you're up for an eclectic mix of nature, imagination, history, community and comfort that represents the true spirit of St. Croix, we look forward to hosting you.
